From a musical standpoint Manager
Workman of the Princess is offering
an exceptionally good production to
his patrons this week in 1.-THE New
York Girl" The piece is a musical
comedy, new to Los Angeles, and pos
sesses snap and ginger from start TO
finish.
The title role is filled by Minta Dur
fee in an admirable manner. She adds
to the musical excellence of the affair
by singing Hello Mr.. Moon Man"
backed up by prettily eowned Choir
us. Pleasing electrical effects are In
troduced showing different members
of the company astride the crescent.

for Carter. Anna H. Golde returned
