with Wednesday matinee, possess many
features decidedly to their advantage. In
| the first place, Mr.. OFT is a star Of the
first water, in a class by himself, whose
genius stands out stamping him an ar
| fist of exceptional ability. The pieces he
| presents are of the lighter order of mu-
steal comedies clean, yet crisp and
| sparkling in every line, written es-
pecally for him by his brother Matt,
| whose ability as a playwright is recog-
| nized the world over. This gives him the
| advantage of presenting new and orig
| inal ideas and novelties whereas as a
| usual thing. musical comedies on the road
| have been worn thTeadbare before start

! necessity suffers by comparison with the
one who originated the part which mars
| the pleasure otherwise to be derived. In
| supporting company, the necessary spe-
cial scenery and a bevy Of handsome show
girls who contribute materially to the
charms of this attractive combination
which is presenting high class musical
comedies at bargain counter prices.
