This production, which is brand new
from rise to fall of curtain, repre-
sents months Of constant toll and
labor, as well as the expenditure OF
very large sum Of money. The SER
vices of the best scenic painters, cos
tuners, property makers and eltctri-
clans 4 nthe country have been utilized
in this production. Everything about
I 1T is new and bright. The members OF
the company are artists of wide rep
utation, and the girls forming the
chorus are said to be the prettiest
specimens of young womanktnd that
1t was possible to secure. AS Is we'll
known. the comedy is built about the
mythical doings and the strange mis-
adventures of F.. Opper's genial hobo,
so well illustrated In the metropolitan
newspapers, and the present production
is from an entirely new point of
view" There will be matinees on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and
it is promised that the attraction is in
all respects clean and refined.
