BILLY SINeLE) CLIFFORD co.

Billy CSingle) in The Girl, The Man
and the Game" his new musical fam
tasy, will be seen at the Dickinson
opera house Saturday October 10Th. This
piece is in the very latest style and is
an entertainment of the highest class.
The foundation of it is farce, full of
complications and ludicrous predica-
ments. To this is added q dozen songs
of the popular style and a chorus of ele-
Gantly gowned young women. who can
sing and dance, and who are pretty and
sprightly.. Billy (Single) Clifford, who
is starring in the piece, is too we'll
known to need any introduction. He
has been on the vaudeville stage for
many years as n of the brightest and
cleverest singers and dancers and he has
q style and manner all his own. In his
present vehicle he has a role that fits
his personality to a nicely, and it is
one in which he shines with Rreat
b%rilliancy. The story of the piece has
to do with a young man who pretends
he is married in order to satisfy a
whim of a rich uncle. He borrows a
wife and child, and attempts to carry
the bluff through when his uncle returns
from Europe, but of course he gets mix
ed up in all sorts Of funny predicaments
and has all sorts of trouble before the
plot is finally untangled. Mr.. Clifford
is seen as the young nephew and he is
given many brilliant lines and he is
caught in many very tight places.
There is q love story running through
the piece also. and 1t forms one of the
very interesting features of the attrac-
ton. Mr.. Clifford has surrounded him
self with a good company. Miss Marie
Weller, the prima donna, has had much
experience in musical comedy. She
has q fine voice, and q splendid stage
presence. Dainty Mae Collins. the
soubrette, is a clever mimic and has
gained much distinction on the vaude-
Vile stage. Jack Trainor %acceptably
portrays the old German uncle. Lol
Marlowe, the French maid and Bud
Braman that of DR.. Merry; these and
others with a bevy of beauties who
charminaly sing and dance, provide an
evenings entertainment long to be re-
membered
