"THE GIRL ILoVE."

For the first time in this country a
genuine bit of the famous English
style of entertainment known as lex
anza-pantomine'' is being present
ed to the theatTegoers of this country
as a feature of The Girl Love-, the
merriest of the La Sale opera house
successes which will be seen at the
Illinois next Sunday, Pantomine enter
tainments are particularly popular in
England during the Christmastide hol-
iday period and are the delight of both
grown-ups and children. When Man
ager Harry Askin decided to introduce
Is minutes of this peculiar and exquis-
lite entertainment into the performance
of THE Girl l Love- experts declared
that 1t would never go on this side of
the water regardless of its popularity
in the British Isles. 1t was too fanci-
full, too picturesque. too elusive. they
argued, for audiences long accustomed
to slap-stick musical comedies that are
barren of all imaginative delights. Mr..
Askin, however, turned a deaf ear to
such suggestions. Suffice it to say
that after tireless effort and exhaus-
tive study, Mr.. Askin succeeded in get
ting a pantomine scene into just the
shape he wanted it, and it was used as
the opening feature of the second act
of THE Girl / Love-" From the very
first night this novelty registered
distinct success. and it is one of the
most applauded scenes in the perform
ance. The scene illustrates the joys
and innocent pranks that gladden. the
festive hours of Halloween when
young hearts thrill with merry excite
ment and old hearts become young for
the nonce. In the course of the &C
ton, all the delightful games and rev.
els sacred to the evening are introduce
ed to an array of beautiful costumes
and effective lighting schemes.

J., by a small margin, in a ten
round bout last night.
Langford's harder punching en-
abled him to carry on the honors,
such as they we're, but Jeanette
gave a splendid exhibition of skill.
From the first tap of the gong the
battle was sensational. No love was
lost and the men fought desperately
for supremacy. 1t was not until the
10th round that Langford did enough
effective punching to assert himself,
and when the gong ended the en-
counter Jeanette was yisibly wor-
ried and tired.
LANGFORD USES SHORT HOOKS.
Langford depended entirely on
short hooks at close quarters. 1t was
difficult to follow this plan of at
tack for the reason that Jeanette
employed rapid footwork as much as
possible. He always was in motion,
taking care to keep away from the
tar baby's blows and at the same
time scoring many points with rapid

exchanges it was clearly evident who

"THE BOSS" IN CHICAGO.

The characters made known in 1.-THE
Boss, the new play by Edward Shell
don, author of Salvation Nell" and
1.-The Niger, which Holbrook Blinn
and his admirable company are now
presenting at the Garrick theatre, Chi
cago, are such as one meets every day
not only in the big city but in the
small town. There is Michael Regan,
the role played by Mr. Blinn, who will
be readily recognized as a type that
has become common in American cit
les in recent years-a man who by
mingled force of character and not
prescriptions ways, has succeeded
in making himself a financial power
as we'll as a leader in the community
where he lives. There is James ID.
Griswold of Griswold & Co, business
rival of Regan, whose daughter, Regain.
with the aggressiveness peculiar to his
type. insists on marrying There is
Emily Griswold, who sacrifices her
self, as she believes, to save her faith
er's fortune from disaster There is
Donald Griswold. socialist reformer,
with violent antipathy toward Regan,
" no leduS q SJEihc against the DOcS
which ultimately leads to the latters
downfall. There Is Archbishop O'Con-
nor, singularly interesting character.
whose efforts are directed toward
bringing Regan and his striking EN-
ployes together, though without sue
cess: and there is long list of other
easily-recognized, familiar characters
including several representatives of
@the boss in the district which he
dominates. Ali these characters are
drawn with a remarkable knowledge
of human nature and with a fidelity
to truth that is often startling The
scene of the play is one of the eastern
lake ports. and the time is the present,
so that the play is uptOdate. Mr..
Blinn work as Regan is said to be
one of the most striking characterize
tions seen upon the stage in recent
years. and it maintains his reputation
as one Of the cleverest players Of
character parts in the United States.
