 A number of good songs were given in the second part. Sam Harris making Q hit with That Loving Traumerei" The jokes were all fresh and funny, and the dancing was exceptional.
 Al Fields entrance in the third scene was, of course, the occasion for an ova- ton, and he more than made good with Brother Anderson stories. His automo- bile story is the best thing of the kind that has been brought to Louisville.
 Charles Reinhart, Louisville boy, shared the honors with Field and sang and yodled to his guitar accompaniment to the entire satisfaction of the house. He has & voice of unusual sweetness and strength.
 The barnyard idyl, Cant Cheer" was given with remarkable scenic effects and was a good burlesque on Rostand's latest masterpiece.
 Lapp and Lisette in line of drolls are far above the average acrobats in their absurdities.
 Norman Stanley Is all that an inter- locutor should be. He has all the physi- cal qualities that go to make up man for the prominent part he takes in a minstrel show and in addition has an un- usually good voice.
 The show winds up with a sketch en- titled Naval Review. with the moonlit sea for a background and a fleet of Uncle Sam's warships in miniature. There is an excellent drill by marching marines, with storm at sea as an in cidental, the scene ending in the hoisting of Old Glory, accompanied by wild cheers from the audience.
 Al Field has the best aggregation of minstrels seen here in the last few sea- sons.
 "Happy Hooligan' at Bijou
 There is an abundance of mirth, music. beauty and jollity in the new version of Happy Hooligan," which Is announced as the attraction at the Bijou theatre this week, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Much money has been spent on this enterprise Since last season an entire new outfit of costumes and seen cry has been purchased. The costumes alone have involved, 1t is said, an ex- penditure of upwards of $26. 900, and among them are some very beautiful creations.

Davis, Ward and Raymond, Walter A. Bohme, Marie Elmer and Ami Hill. As a special feature there will be introduced The Fair Dancing Baby Elephants and a large chorus of beautiful girls.
 It would indeed be dull mortal who would fail to be enlivened by the antics of Happy Hooligan." The first act is now located in the Rapid Transit Hotel the second act depicts the woes and trlb- ulations of ''The Guburbanite" and the last act is located in Japan. Anyone can picture the beautiful scenery. costumes and light effects used in these three acts. The costumes are by Hayden and crea- tions of art. There are show girls who know how to wear swell clothes and the little girls who know how to dance, as well as q male chorus that can sing.
