SORROW EXPRESSED
FOR CROWN POINT
"Girl and Tramp" Fit the
Pike After Rank EXhi-
tion in Hammond.

No wonder the theatrical season is
so rotten. The barn storming aggre-
cation known as The Girl and the
Tramp" at the Hammond theatre last
evening was one of the worst excuses
for musical comedy that has been
seen in Hammond in months.
Cnfortunate tely it played to a big
house. Many came from Gary and East
Chicago to see it. The show was made
up of fourth raters all of the way
through The chorus was of the cot
ton stocking. variety and their singing
was in keeping with their costuming.
The tramp would not have made a
good buriesuue comedian. He was
svecse than anaafassrizn n Thafe are
plenty of poor chaps counting ties and
begging handouts who have him beat.
Other leading parts were taken by men
land women equally incapable. The
best part of the show was the drop OF
the curtain at its end. Many people got
up at the end of the second act and
went to the nickel picture shows for
entertainment.
The actors forgot their lines and
were constantly prompted from behind
the scenes. The prices 25 cents to "a
rents. Indicated the character of the
play so that discerning person knew
what he was going up against The
attraction is scheduled to appear in
Crown Point tonight.
