THE STAGE

For Cadillaqua week the Bonstelle
company will produce that rousing
farce Seven Days." In the Garrick
theater The piece which has been
seen In Detroit twice before, Is a
farce pure and simple, and Is good for
gales OF laughter from start to finish.
The current production OF Elizabeth
Jordan's new play, The Lady from
Oklahoma" is a big success and so
far, the house has been sold out for
every performance. The playwright
herself sits "out 'front.' and watches
closely the various scenes with a view
to improvement OF action and dia-
logue, where II seems desirable, al
though there are few rough spots In
this amusing comedy, with its under
current of heart interest and pathos.
Although the chief object Of vaude-
Vile Is to entertain, the patron OF this
form of amusement Is often educated
at the same time that he Is being
amused and such an instance Is the
act OF Prof. Fred Andrews, In the
Temple theater this week. Prof. An
drews calls his act The Magic Ket-
tIe." The Kettle, to all appearances
is an ordinary vessel to be found upon
almost any kitchen range. but the
stunts Is goes through makes every
house wife sit up and take notice. II
cooks Ice cream over fire and good
Ice cream il is too. II you happen to
get a sample, runs small locomotive,
lights cigar, heats quicksilver, turns
flowers to ashes, fresh fruit to seem
ing stone, fries meat upon a cake OF
ice, and does many other seemingly
impossible things, finally setting IRE
to a cake OF Ice. All this the pro-
lessor accomplishes by means Of liquid
oxygen. Prof. Andrews recently ar
rived In this country after having ex-
'hibited- his wonderful !. kettle from
London to South Africa and from Cape
Town to Australia.
