It at the annual reunion Of his regi-

poem along. II was IN able produc

Where the shot and shell were falling

All, when southern hosts withdrew,
At AppOmattoX with the blue.

EVERETT THEATER, SUNDAY,
OCTOBER 90.


As in the instance of Billy (Single)
Clifford, the legitimate stage is con-
stantly recruiting from the vaudeville
stage. Mr.. Clifford is one of the best
known and most popular actors on the
variety platform and he has been a
headliner for many years. But the de-
mands for good actors on the dramatic
and comic stage has been great and the
supply has not kept up with the de-
mand. The result is that variety has
had to relinquish some of her brightest
players This season Mr.. Clifford is
starring in a new musical fantasy in
two acts called "The Girl, the Man and
the Game" 1t is farce with a plot
with many complications, but it has
other features to recommend it, for it
is packed with good songs, and they are
sung as only Billy Clifford can sing
them.
The story of the piece in brief con-
Germs an eccentric man, who has great
wealth, and his rollicking nephew The
uncle is travelling abroad, and while
there sees a photograph of an American
girl. Straight away he proceeds to fall
desperately in love with the young wom-
an. Then he sits down and writes to
his nephew about her, and asks him to
find her and make a proposal of mar
riage for him. The nephew finds the
girl and falls in love with her himself.
He writes to his uncle that the girl is
homely, drinks and smokes and is not
a fit companion for him, and that ends
the love dream of the uncle. But it
seems that the uncle had insisted that
his nephew should marry and settle
down, and on the condition that he did,
the uncle promised to send him money
The nephew thereupon proceeds TO say
that he is married and has one child
and the uncle sends the money regular
ly. All seems WELL
Then the uncle takes a notion to re-
turn to America, and the nephew is at
his wits end. Finally he prevails upon
friends wife to pose as his Spouse
and a child is borrowed to add to the
deception. As may be imagined, any
number of ludicrous situations develop
and the fun is fast and furious. BY dint
of clever ruses, the young man worms
himself out of the difficulties, and every
thing ends well.
Mr. Clifford plays the role of the
young nephew, and it gives him brisk
bright and entertaining part that fits
his style to perfection.
