SMITH LEFT HOME"
TO BE TOLD AT oRPHEUM

"Why Smith Left Home" is just as
funny as What Happened to JONES'"
and everybody who knows Jones will
be glad next week at the opportunity
to make the acquaintance of Smith,
and of George Broadhurst, whose
construction of ideas Is equaled only
by his Witness of dialogue.
Smith and his wife live at home
and all the relatives and friends live
there. too. One of these days Smith
and his wife will enjoy their long
deferred honeymoon-but the day is
not in immediate view. Those who
recently screamed with laughter over
what Happened to Jones" viii look
forward with the keenest satisfaction
to the trials and trlbulatlons of poor
Smith in his futile endeavor to rid
the house of its extraneous popula-
ton.
Clifford Stork has never enjoyed a
better part than his volatile benedict
the type of character that every
body sympathizes with-and laughs
at. For that matter, Mr.. Broadhurst
has every reason to be grateful to
Corse Payton for the Interpretation
of his farce generally. Harry b.
Roche is a too affectionate French
soldier, one General Billetdoux, and
Miss Virginia Wilson finds plenty of
scope for her talents as the generals
suspicious wife.
There is a nervous and intense
German nobleman, Count Won Gug-

itably personated by Joseph w.
Girard. Major Duncombe, a gruff old
soldier with memories of last night"
affords Lee Sterrett full opportuni-
ties for the exercise of his unique

of the boyish Robert Walton falls to

MIDNIGHT MAlDENS" TO
MAKE GAYETY GAYER

w. S. Clark's Midnight Maidens''
burlesque, coming to the Gayety next
week, was written and produced with
the express idea of making it the best
show in the burlesque field. 1t is a
musical comedy equal to any Broad
way production of recent years, with
a well-deined plot and a laugh in
every line. The plot is entirely away
from the beaten path of burlesque.
IT deals with a young man of the
fast set" of New York city, who in
the story Of the play has the breach
OF promise habit; in other words, he
has a habit of proposing marriage to
every pretty girl he meets, which
naturally leads to many uproarlously
funny complications. especially when
& half dozen prospective brides APP
pear at his wedding.
Instead of being at college. which
his father is paying for. the young
man Roy is surrounded by a bunch
of white light beauties that would do
credit TO a Pittsburgh millionaire.
Papa arrives and, luckily for Roy, he
proves to be just as good a sport as
his SON. Father and son both find
their affinity. and an all-star bur-
lesque company is formed for a tour
through Australia, with papa for the
angel.
The next act shows the company
aboard the Overland Limited"
bound for San Francisco en- route to
Australia.
The scene is laid in a Pullman
sleeping car, and the title Of the
comedy here becomes evident, 'The
Honeymoon" The comedy of this
scene is of a sort never before shown
in a burlesque performance. and must
be seen to be fully appreciated. AM
