Mr. Monroe has long been identified
with eccentric female character parts,
and is said to have never had a role
which fitted him more perfectly. He
is surrounded by cast of principal
mum bering % people, and a chorus OF
60. Prominent in the support of Mr.
Monroe are Alma Youlin, George
Schiller. John Murray, Teddy Burns.
Elizabeth Mayne, Mona Desmond, and
Walter Ware. The Midnight Sons
is described as an entertainment with
little plot and many features, embrac-
ing nearly every variety that the stage
is heir to. It combines farce comedy
novelty vaudeville, pantomine, must
cal comedy, ballet and straight farce,
all blended into one big entertainment
frequently termed a revue" From
a scenic standpoint probably nothing
has been presented in recent years
which comprises so many surprises as
this production The eight scenes Of
the two acts are mammoth in their
proportions and novel in their effect
The opening scene of the first act dis
closes a stag dinner party with so
male participants, after which we are
shown the exterior of a fashiona BILE
New York store. and then is revealed
the interior Of the same, where many
very funny incidents occur, at the
conclusion of which we are whirled
away to a realistic view of the con
course of the big Grand Central rail-
road station, in New York, and then
occurs one of the most novel effects
ever staged, showing a rapidly reced-
ing train with real people gathered
upon the observation platform. This
effect is worked by a moving picture
appliance and is the only scene of its
kind ever produced in this country.
The second act opens with an interior
view of a modern up-to-date theatre.
showing the orchestra tiers of boxes
balcony and gallery. On the stage be
tween the regular audience and the
stage audience, is erected a miniature
stage on which occur the several head
line vaudeville acts. At the conclusion
of this scene, We are shown the exter-
Tor of the theatre and then, the con-
Guiding scene of the performance, that

Harry Stephens, Dallas Wexford and
Milo Joyce. The chorus was well train
ed and gave evidence of real ability to
sing and dance. The staging was
splendid.
