assert that those presented here will
be OF a quality that should please the

The change IN the policy OF the Far
go operahouse in putting on vaudeville
has been primarily due to the great
difict1Ity experienced in securing good
attractions. The theatre business in
the east this season has been the worst
I'm years, and many companies have
been forced to disband. In the south,
conditions are scarcely better, while
in the west the show business is doing
well. The fact, however. that business
in the east has been so poor has caused
60 many companies to disband that at
fractions for the circuit have been se-
cured only with the greatest difficulty.

In brief is as follows: The president
OF Columbus university is expecting
Lady Leslie (under escort) to unveil
statue recently made by a noted
sculptor Lady Leslie arrives and
proves to be a charming young woman,
who has never been permitted to speak
or have anything to do with real live
young people. She is the victim Of one
of those foolish old country engage

to meet the man she Is to marry and
has never seen. Max shows up, and

souled and hearty American college
youth, the inevitable follows. He Is

who made the statue, and is engaged

to make a statue of Lady Leslie. In
stead, he and Lady Leslie become very

The music is the of most charming
variety with host of pretty song

action of the piece. the best number
being, perhaps, When You First Kiss

from the nrst appearance OF the cast
here. Miss Winthrop, as Dallas VAIN
wright, was just passingly fair. The
other female characters were very
weak, especially Florence Mack as
Mrs. Bennett.
Arthur Maitland, as Mayor Bennett,
has pleasing voice and stage pres
ence, but fails to rise to the oppor-
tunitfes Of his part. He permits Al
derman Phelan to become the leading
character Of the production and re-
ceive the applause. Haney is an ar
fist, too, and deserves the premier
position for the excellent work he does
In character acting.
John Moore lacks the dominating
presence of his predecessor In the
part and is weaker. The other mem
bers of the cast are satisfactory.
The play itself Is immensely pop
ular. It is timely because OF the poll
tical unrest in municipal. state and
national affairs and the people enjoy
seeing a stage caricature of the real
thing.

Distressing rumors have been heard

around Jaurez, where the newest race
track is situated. The most diBquieting
of these is that the Mexicans have

how to bet, but the lesson was wasted
