MONTGOMERY AND STONE IN
1.-THE OLD TOWN."

1t is pardonable to assume that not
since the visit of Bernhard has any
announcement been received with so
much pleasurable anticipation than
that of the coming of Montgomery and
Stone IN one of their greatest musical
comedy successes 1.-The Old Town."
which is underlined for production at
the Lexington Opera House, matinee
ard night, February z.
Montgomery and Stone are making
their first Southern tour. Not since
they have achieved fame and fortune
have they ever left the precinct of
that popularity which has been solely
confined to the largest of the Eastern
cities where in many instance they
have remained whole year at time,
and that in but one piece. The demand
for their appearance in the far West
and the North and South has been SO
imperative that Montgomery and Stone
have at last said goodbye to their con-
stituency and have sailed forth to
make new friends and conquer new
territory, and SO it goes that the origi-
GALS of "The Wizard of Or and 1.-The
Red Mill" and kindred successes find
themselves in our midst for the first
time. In 1.-The Old Town" it is said
that Montgomery and Stone have a
worthy successor to their former Gre
atiGns. The two grotesque comedians
appear as couple of youths who run
off and ar stranded with country cir
Gus. Their vicissitudes reaching home
again furnish the nucleus of a most
amusing story. 1.-The Old Town" has
spent practically all time in Mr.. Dill
lingham's Globe Theatre, New York,
and his Studebaker Theatre, Chicago.
with few visits to the NOR important
points. We are promised the same
beautiful production and the same no
table cast remarked during the met
rOpolitan engagements together with
the Old Town Pony Ballet which has
considerable reputation as a marvellous
dancing octette of picturesque clever
ness. Some eighty-fve people COM
prise the numerical strength of the
party necessitatlng special trains for
their conveyance.
THE SWEETEST GIRL IN PARIS"
Trixie Friganaz and her eighty odd
associates in 1.-The Sweetest Girl in
Paris,' which comes to the Lexington
Opera House, Saturday matinee and
night, February 3, are making one of
the most extended and comprehensive
tours ever undertaken in the history of
American theatricals. During the
present season of forty weeks this
greatest of all La Sale Opera House
successes, which has record of more
than three hundred performances in
Chicago, will be presented in every
section of the country, from coast to
coast. and from the cities of the Great
Lakes region to the localities along
the Gulf of Mexico. TO cover so much
ground in so comparatively short a
time. it is necessary to employ a
special train during most of the sea-
son, huge expenditure when one
considers that this train is composed
of two baggage cars with scenery and
properties, two sleepers, day coach
and dining car. The Sweetest Girl
in Paris however, faces only capacity
audiences IN every place it is shown,
so that the expenditure is more than
worth while, especially as Harry ASkin
desires that TriXie Frigdnaz and 1.-The
Sweetest Girl in Paris" shall have
visited every theatrical center of any
note in the country before her appear
ance again at the La Sale Oprea
House in a new vehicle next season.
