The theatrical array suggests a song
promised for Eddie Foy in the last
named production, "Girlies, girlies,
girlies."
Inc merry chorus which it is to be
hoped is 'nimble and fair" according to
advertisement, will reign supreme.
The one dramatic offering, though one
would not know 1t from the name, is
The Girl in Waiting at the Columbia.
The press agent fails TO mention the
TACT and it may be a secret, but here
goes This play was seen at the Belasco
Iheater during the summer season two
years ago. Then II was known as Miss
Brown-Burglar." There is no reason to
conceal the fact, for the critics liked
ii then and the public went to see IT.
The first act brings to mind the Collier
comedy, Caught in the RAIN as it
transpires during a London rainstorm.
The second scene is laid in a tea shop,

Without consulting chronological sta
tistics. it is safe 10 assert that Laurette
Taylor IS the youngest dramatic star on
the American stage" So says the press
agent. Whether chronological stats
ties would prove otherwise doesn't
much matter, for Miss Taylor should
prove just as diverting. She was on her
previous appearance. Both she and the
Leading man, A. II. Van Buren,. retain the
roles in which they were originally cast.
The writer IS not afraid to venture an
advance tip" on up and Down Broad
way party Of Washington newspaper
men saw the production in Baltimore
last week and their verdict was favor
able.
Eddie Foy will attract a large personal
following and a player who has vet to
win pronounced recognition, Miss Emma
Carus. is also featured. If it be to the
credit OF a musical piece to have a plot
this ShUbert revue may be lacking. But
in its spectacular array its advance man
makes glowing promises. There are
twenty-five scenes, says he, and the
piece is further described as the biggest
musical affair brought out OF the New
York Casino.
The plot % is founded upon the plight
of Momus CFoy), janitor of the High
Brow Club, on Mt. Ps,rnassus, who is
banished from Broadway. He is COM
missioned I OrefOrm the stage but he
becomes demOraIized and accepts a po-
sition in vaudeville. Then follow a Sc
ries Of burlesques on well-knOwn Broad
way attractions, many Of which have
been seen IN Washington.
1.-The Girl in the Taxi comes with
Carter DeHaven's name in large black
type and a cast that includes Laura
GUeTite, Jessie Miilward, and jeanette
Bageard-
The piece is said to be remarkable for
its numberlesS complications. The
Jess complications. The old story of a
husband who likes TO have a midnight
lark and who unexpectedly encounters
his son in one of these eSCapadeS is the
basis of the plot.
The play has been seen in Chicago
