CROWDED HOUSE
HEARS "MIKADO"
Abernathy Lads Come in for
a Share Of hOnOrS as
ElkS' Guests

Last night at the Garrick, a record !
crowd heard
aI,kadol Mikadol 1Iikado.
They laughed and they clapped. their
emotions were stirred,
BY the ylks in Mikadol Mikadol
For the flowers that bloom in the
spring, tra-la,
Are nothing to Pitti-Sings face,
Yum Yum is a maid that can sing,
tra-la,
Peep-bo is a handsome young thing,
tra-la,
Katisha is a vision of grace.
There is a little list, there is a little
list,
OF chorus men and women too. who
sing and dance with great virtue.
They surely would be missed, Great
Scott, how they'd be missed!
A more humane mikado never
Did in Japan exist.
Than w. Grove, you ought to lSnaw
This true philanthropist.
The sweetest voice in Titipu,
is j. McCullin, NanlSi Poo.
Ne carols songs and snatches, and
dreamy lullaby.
With a fearful, f-ightful, frantic
frown,
James Kane as Koko flops him down,
Down on his knees fops he,
Saying, "Kstish, you must marry ne,
Q willow, willow, willowl'
Pish Tush, Pooh Bah, they tend their
Jobs,
And Homer simmons tends His Nobs,
And all of us whistle "AIikado" in
gobs,
In street and in Office from breakfast
20 tea,
And we are right. and they are right,
and all is right as right can be.
The Elks made ano,her big hit with the
production Of the Mikado last night. the
weather which was doing its worst being
unable TO prevent a crowded house, with
every seat sold. The chorus and the prin-
cipals sang with spirit and acted with
grace, and the house applauded vigorously
and continuously. Tonight there will be
delegations present from the Democratic
League. the Irsh-American Association,
and other organizations Saturday, the
finale, will be "Elks' Night" when all the
Elks who are not on The stage will be in
the audience.
A big hit last night was made by the
Abernathy boys. the little chaps who have
come horseback all the way from Okla
homa, and are going 90 New York to see
| Teddy" They were at the opera as
guests Of the Elks. ami were given seats
ia a downstairs box. where they and IN,
audience surveyed each other with great
interest. In the intermission between the
( FIRST and second acts, Manager Docks tader
and Sol Reis took the boys up on the
stage. where they we're introduced by AIr.
Dockstader. who related their remarkable
! feat Of travel. and proposed three cheers
for the plGcky youngsters and God snced
on their Journey. The house broke loose,
and everybody IN it clappcd and cheercd
until IL seemed as II the roof would come
Down James II. Kane KoKo. took up
little Temple on his arm, and Katisha.
: George II. Grove, convulsed the audience
by kissing Louis. the older boy. The elder
ly maiden also had intentions upon Tenn
pie. but that clever fad saw what was
coming in time 20 dodge. The little chaps
were tired after their long days ride and
Temple began to rub his eyes sleepily,
50 they were taken back to the hotel be-
fore the last act. Mr.. Abernathy. the boys
father. telephoned thanks to the Elks from
New York.
An amusing innovation was the appear
ance of a small air-ship, which few grace
fully up on the stage when KoEIo sang his
Little list" The machine was the inven-
ton Of Robbie Seidlinger, and was sent
stageward by DIR. George W. Quinn. Mr..
Snellenburg and Mr. Bothman received
/ large boquets from admirers.
Tt is probable that the house will be
sold out the tive remaining performances,
such renown has the production achieved.
