ssThree Twins'
''Three Twins" Jos. M. Gates enor-
mously successful musical comedy that
will be the attraction at the Forrest
Theatre. Phila., beginning last evening,
is full of interesting dramatic history.
Mrs. r. Pachoe's famous farce comedy,
"Incog," of which the musical play is an
adoption, was originally produced at the
Bijou Theatre, New York City, February
CAD, 1892, with Mr.. Charles Dickson, the
adaptor, in the star role.
There are several bits of real life TO-
nance connected with "Incog," among
them being the origin of the famous old
saying, at is to laughp On the open
ing performance, Louis Mann's dear little
mother sat in the front row and when after
the final curtain, Charles Dickson asked
her opinion of the play; she replied in
her quaint German way "Achl it is to
laughp' and since then every German
comedian on the stage at one time or
another used this sentence in his work.
When Charles Dickson conceived the
idea of making musical comedy version
of 'Incog," which he put into immediate
execution with the result that "Three
Twins" was produced on March 18TH, at
the Whitney Opera House, Chicago, Ill,
and ran until June 18th, when it was only
taken off to allow New York production
at the Herald Square Theatre, which ran
for fourteen months.
1t was an instantaneous success and
was this true of the catchy
lyrics of Otto Hauerbach and the beau
tiful music of Karl Hoschna. Every one
of the number scored an individual hit
and the Chicago press and public were
unanimous in their praise of the striking
melodies, including boo Hoo, Tee Tee,"
Little Miss Up-to-Date, 'The Girl Up
There, Good Night, Sweetheart, Good
Night, " Hypnotic Waltz" "Cuddle Up
Little Closer" 'sLovey Mine" and the
'Yama Yama Man, the last two numbers
achieving success that was positively
phenomenal.
'Three Twins" is a clean, wholesome
entertainment Astounding in humor with
two hearty laughs every minute, or three
hundred during the one hundred and fifty
minutes of each performance. 1t is filed
with many striking novelties, prominent
among them being, ''The Merry Go
Round, 1.-THE Seven Ages of Guiding"
THE Crying Grass Widow" s'The
Hypnotic Kiss, =" the awe-inspiring ''Yama
Yarna Man." and The Mysterious Face, {"
the latter a genuine sensation.
Mr.. Gates is sending the original New
York Company of eighty including Clifton
