Fields Minstrels.

Just how the idea of burlesque on

which Miss Maude Adams will be seen
this season under the managemnt of
Charles Frohman, originated in Al.

"Chanticler is going to prove the the
atrical surprise of the century. l be-
lieve it is going to be the biggest sue
cess of the age"
That's all bosh," said another,
"Chanticler is going to be the prize
package of frost, believe me-"
well, you may think that" replied
Field, "but can't l cheer?"
At the hotel that night Mr.. Field be-
gan to think over the remark. The
more he thought, the more he became
convinced that he was right regarding
the Frenchman's play. and then came
the idea for burlesque. The name
didn't bother him long, because it was
of his own making. He selected his
own remark to the scoffing manager.
Cant l Cheer?"
In Cant I Cheer" Mr. Field has
made no attempt to follow the plot OF
the play. But all the characters are
there. the owl, the blackbird, the
pheasant hen, chanticler. the turkey
cock. the laughing horse. the old phil.
osophical hen. the parrot, the singing
COW. the sheep and all the rest. In
addition, he has included the chick
en- thieves, the big dog, the dancing
fowls and just little bit of politics
shown in sly digs at Uncle Joe Can.

bears a shadowy resemblance to Theo

adds to his description of the piece,
