edy expert, with all of his happy ori- ginai repartee, music and song-with all of his novelty and Yankee Dood- le" ideas and his characteristic vim and vigor, has never offered the American public a Performance as good and few with as many charm ing features, as are the The Three Twins :. To Joseph NJ. Gaites the local theater Soers owe their thanks To this one producer. who never does things by halves, who spends money lavishly on productions, as was evi- denced last night in the brilliant ar ray of costuming and scenery, We should doH our little caps Gaites has certainly discovered the musi- cal comedy north pole" with his
 Three Twins" If they had come as 'Triplets they would not have been better nor more thoroughly en- joyed. The performance musicallv scenically and from comedy stand point is the best ever.' That a set of men can originate such ideas of costuming and brilliant electrical eff fleets as are distributed in this show, is to be wonderful at It deals with lot of Nuts most of them cracked and other who become bat ty' from association. They are all brought together at a :. sanitarium where much of the comedy is ''dished out There is laugh in every line and two laughs in every move.

There are others who deserve spe- cial mention for magnificent work, including Harry Hanlon, Eddie P. Bower, Ada Bateman, Lillian Sadler. Minnie Allen, Ada Clifford and Helene Salinger.
 The company is an ideal one, each part fitting its wearer as tho spe- cially designed for that particular member. The principal are artists. The chorus a delirium of delight.

In the first place this show has plot that you can follow without getting lost in the foliage of folly; second, tuneful, Whistly songs punctuate the action with some regard for the rules of punctuation; third, the voices are requirements of the song; fourth, the maidens are mainly fair and well- fed; fifth
