THE STAGE

When a 20-year-old boy. thirsting
for his first taste OF "life." as the

out OF his home I'm the dead of night

that's deucedly funny, don't you

And it's still funnier when q nephew

Detroit cannot be gainsaid, the pretty
and melodious operetta opening the
second week OF its engagement, In
| the Garrick theater, Monday evening,
| to an audience that crowded every cor
ner OF the playhouse despite the vici-
Gus March storm that ragged through
out the town. The charming melodies
of the score have caught the universal
fancy, and the excellence OF the COM
pany, with its accompaniment OF a
large and thoroughly adequate orches-
ira, has aroused general enthusiasm
and resulted I'm the largest audiences
of the season in the Garrick.
The presentation, Monday evening,
was spirited, with piquant Miss Lii
liam Poll singing the principal role OF
Nadina. The favorable impression this
young lady made last week on her
first appearance. In her native city,
was strengthened Monday evening.
Miss Poll sang with excellent effect,
her pure, fresh young voice and clear
enunciation proving delight. She
acts the role with much vivacity and
Is graceful and pleasing at every turn.
Her work. with that of Forrest HUFF,
"the chocolate soldier" In the song
which gives the title TO the piece,
and in the delightful Letter song,
prove both to be intelligent, capable
artists. Both numbers were encored
again and again, the delicious humor
and pretty music winning ready re-
Spouse from the audience.
Mr.. Hun as the gay, fiippant and
self-assured chocolate soldier" offers
one OF the best bits OF characterize
ton the light opera stage affords. He
has an excellent voice, and, like Miss
Poll, every word he sings is distin-

MILES.

A truly remarkable exhibition OF
strength Is one of the features OF
the Miles bill. for the current week.
II comes at the very end OF the pro
gram in unique and well-staged nov
city. presented by four husky Ger
mans, who style themselves The
Armourers." The setting shows the
interior of a blacksmith shop. One
OF the four. who is as large as two
ordinary men, is made up as the
smithy, and on him, naturally, falls
the heavy work. He first disguishes
himself by holding a heavy iron ball
with his teeth, while he keeps pound
ing away at the ball with a heavy
steel bar until the bar bends percep-
tibly. But his real stunt comes at the
finish OF the act. when, standingerect,
he holds a 300-pohnd anvil against
his chest with his teeth, while two
of the other huskies swing repeatedly
on the anvil with sledge hammers,
apparently putting their full strength
into the blows. The act Is one Of the
most novel of it's kind seen on the To-
cal boards In many a day.

nounced that the company had been
caught In a trolley wreck near Mil
waukee. In their place Winkler's Mil
itary Dancing Maids were engaged
and made favorable impression
when they made their appearance In
the evening. The act Is made up OF
sprightly dancing numbers, and the
attractive young women who COM
prise the company show the effect
OF careful training. They also dis
play some attractive costumes.
BY far the classiest act on the bill
is that OF Cecil Lyndon and Edna Dor
man, 'The English Boy and the Yam
kee Girl" Their patter is new, breezy
and original and they close with a
bathing scene that is good for several
hearty laughs. Cliff Dean, native
Detroiter, who has played here for
several years, heads company OF
four, presenting a playlet called "A
Burglars Nerve" I'm which Diamond
Jim a burglar, just released from
prison, gets even In novel fashion
with former pal who had done him
bad turn. The plot is well worked
out and Mr.. Dean, as the burglar, is
given opportunity for some good char

of a choice line of slang. Dean is
supported by Miss Nell Vernon, as
Mrs. Fred Sterling. In whose home

and by Baby Loeffler, as Mrs. Ster-
ling's little son.
Ed. Gray, the tall tale-teller," as
the program christens him, looks the
part and has some good stun, though
his act is inclined TO drag. Nine. Hen
gleur's trained dogs open the show
with an act that Is good Of Its kind
and is featured by some remarkably
high jumping. on the part of grey
hound. The Milescope fills out the
regulation bill with lively comedy
