"The Girl OF My Dreams

The delightful musical produc-
ton THE Girl of My Dreams'',a
two act atmosphere play by Will
bur D. Nesbit and Otto Hauer-
bach, with music by the late
Karl Hoschna, composer OF
Three Twins" Madame Sher-
ry" and Doctor De Luxe" will
be the attraction at the Comus
Theatre. Monday December 18th.
1.-The Girl of My Dreams" is a
production of more than the us.
ual attractivaness common to
musical shows. 1t 8 a clean,
fresh aud exhilerating entertain
ment, 1t proves no end of delight
to the children who attend the
performance, for it has many
features that appeal to the young
person, 1t is youthful in spirit, a
large proportion of its characters
are the school boys and girls who
romp and play games on the
stage. One of the best of the
scenes is Dear Little Games of
Guessing" and finally in the last
song the little tots are appealed
to when Olga Won Hatzfeldt
gives Doctor Tinkle Tinker of
Old Toy Town"
The musical numbers, Of
which there are an unusually
large number are credited as be-
ing among the prettiest compost
tons of Mr.. Hoschna. Miss Won
hatfield, appearing in the lead
ing female role, is the possessor
of unusual beauty and attractive
ness. AS the winsome little
Quaker maiden, she appears in
deed as the girl one might dream
about. The songs given to Miss
Won hatfield are so beautifully
given that the dainty songstress
must give encore after encore.
Mr.. Purviance. a very good light
comedian, makes a capital team
mate for Miss Won Hatzfeldt.
They caper through their scenes
together in the most facinatlng
manner and execute some very
clever dances.
Others contributing t t h e
gaiety are Eda Won Luke, Irving
Brooks, Francis Gaillard. Cecil
