 When George NJ. Cohen started to write "T-le Little Millionaire" he intended it to be q straight musical comedy. As the story progressed however. 1t developed exaggerated qualities that offered oppor- tuinlles for ridiculous situations and, placing all his musical numbers in his first and third acts, he made the second straight farce. with the result that the finished product has been aptly described by one reviewer as an appetizlng stage sandwich.

 Dramas

At the Majestic

"A greater show than last week. is rather a broad assertion to make when one thinks of the really great offering which the Majestic theatre management presented to the patrons of this popular house. but. owing to the fact that the programme the week just ended was quite departure from the usual vaude- vile bill, it is permissible.. consequently a still greater offering is announced by Manager Whitfield. It is for all lovers of clean, original vaudeville and the manager feels confident that everyone especially the children will be more than pleased with every act which forms a part of this great combination of artistic variety.
 Schrode and Mnlvey will present a unique novelty sketch entitled "A Visit to Vaudeville Agency" which will probably prove one of the big laughing hits of the bill, as both Mir. Schrode and Miss Mulvey are clever artists and com edians of rare ability. The act deals with a subject entirely new to the av- craze theatregoer. and really gives very true insight into the troubles of a strand ed performer looking for work up in the office of a big vaudeville circuit, even though it is a travesty. The lines in this offering are overfowing with clean, original comedy, interspersed with d song and eccentric dance.
 Another interesting feature which will delight all the little ones is the Stroud Trio, featuring Americas youngest com edienne Baby Violet. dear. sweet little girl who takes her audience by storm on her opening number and keeps them screaming with delight She has all the swing, dash and mannerisms of the most clever performer, and can boast of one of the most beautiful voices of any little artist in vaudeville.

A Eeathered Beauty.

The quezal of Guatemala is consid-
cred the most beautiful bird in the
world. Its plumage vies with the rain
bow and shines with a metallic luster
Until within the last few years it was
unknown to science, mainly owing to
the fact that it is hermit among the
feathered creatures, delighting in the
silence of high attitudes. 1t dwells on
mountain heights above 1000 feet in
elevation. The quezal was the royal
bird Of the Aztecs, and its plumes were
used to decorate the headdresses and
clocks Of the kings of that land. Its
breast is a brilliant scarlet. while its
green tail attains length of three feet
1t is about the size of the common
pigeon. 1t nests in holes in rotten trees
which it enlarges with its bill. so as to
make roomy and comfortable resi-
dence. The young are Matched totally
devoid Of feathers
