HICKMAN soYs IN CAIRO.

Two 12-year old boys from Hickman
KY, who had heard much about the
wonders and terrors Of the wicked"
city OF Cairo were overwhelmed with
the desire to peep into the myster-
ious city up the river that shipped
gallons OF trouble into their peaceful
village. They hoped a freight train
for Union City and there caught a
/ Mobile a. Ohio freight train for Cairo.
They had taken care to note that
their older brothers and fathers of
other boys had told OF getting off at
the bridge. The boys followed this
stunt, but one of them bumped his
head against the side of the rack be-
fore rolling the hill BY the time
they reached Thirty-fourth street, the
boys were longing for home and ma.
They were delighted to get an oppor-
tunity to tell their troubles to officer
French, who took them to headquart-
ers. One Saturday night trip to Cairo
was enough for those boys. They
were sent TO Union City via the Mo-

cAYETY.

A lot OF new burlesque material has
been put together in "A Run For Your
Money" the vehicle in which Phil
Sheridans Marathon Girls appear THU
season. stage settings. costumes and
scenic effects are novel and clever
and old gags" are rare. The frsr
part has the deck OF an ocean liner
for setting and the comedians make
their appearance by falling from a
disabled aeroplane. That is going
some in up-to-the-minute ideas.
Clare Evans and Billy Welp as the
Right brothers are energetic clowns
and never let the action lag when
they are on the stage. Anna Suits as
The Vampire" has q dreamy waltz
number with Frank Hayes that got
several encores. and her singing was
equally a hit Babette appears in
many characters and as many dances.
Her Hula-Hula dance is as lively as
is permitted In the Gayety.
Worth special mention in the caste
is Irene Cassin. the maddest. spright-
lest, little atom OF feminity that has
appeared with burlesque chorus.
She is miniature Eva Tanguay. and
her madcap dancing and cute, dainty
singing rink her with the principals
as an attraction. Clare Evans and
Babette have clever travesty on
"The Easiest Way" in the olio. The
other olio numbers were good. AS
closing feature, the Ameen Abou
Hamad Arab acrobats, Is in number,
performed marvellous feats.

Is put on in the Lyceum this week
had been as discriminating in the
selection of a cast as they were gen
erous in the matter OF costumes and
scenic inyesture.. the offering would
be far more acceptable than Ii Is.
The story itself is pretty one, a
decentralization from George Barr Nc

display real talent. Others. however,
showed q seemingly inexcusable lack
OF preparation at Sundays perform
ance. and seriously marred the good
work Of their associates.
But, as already indicated, n is In
the scenic effects that the current
production excels The first act shows
the picturesque hills OF the tabled
principally OF Graustark. which 10
readers OF McCutcheon' charming ro-
mances, have become almost a real
ity. Here is begun the little romance
between Beverly Calhoun, the Ameri-
an girl on her way to visit Princess
Yetive, and Baldos, the bandit. who
turns out 20 be the prince OF a neigh
boring principally in disguise. The
act reacehs a thrilling climax when
Paldos defends Beverly's life at the
risk OF his own and wins her heart
completely by his bravery.
The next scene shows the council
chamber OF the royal castle in Gran

in the valley beyond But it Is in the
last two acts that the artist has
shown his best work. Here are shown
the exterior Of the castle. and the SET

Justina Wayne is quite acceptable

TAMMANY FARES BADLY.

mayor tells him. Il am grateful to
you for your support In the campaign.
Any names You submit shall have pref
ererce. but they must be good names.
Under this agreement Murphy sub
mits the names and the mayor rejects
them. In the first two weeks OF his
administration the mayor has distrib-
uted nearly 100000 worth OF patron
age and issued orders that will affect
the distribution OF hundreds OF thous-

was TO abolish the private secretary.
