"GINGER GIRLS" PUT SNAP
INTO SHOW AT GAYETY

With 1.-THE Ginger Girls in "Janitor
Higgins" Joe Hurtig presents one of
the snappiest burlesque productions
offered this season at the Gayety
Theatre. where the company will oc-
eupy the boards for the remainder of
the week Capacity audiences greeted
the opening yesterday afternoon and
evening.
Joe Buckley. in the leading role, is
seen to great advantage during the
entire performance, and his comedy
work is of an unusual and pleasing
variety. He is capably assisted by
Owen Martin, as a race-traclS tout,
and Henry p. Nelson. in German
comedy role. The three keep the au-
dience In continuous roar of laugh
ter. The singing of the male quartet
was generously applauded, especially
the work of Gus Roeber, whose pleas
ing and melodious voice was one of
the hits of the entertainment.
Miss Margie Austin, Miss Helen
Bryon and Miss Jane LaBeau divided
the feminine honors equally and, in
fact, each of the sixteen musical
numbers. which were led by one or
the other of them, and assisted by
the chorus, was good. The chorus is
not only we'll trained and elegantly
costumed. but is one of the best look
ing collections that have visited the
city this season.
The staging Of the production is of
an exceptionally high order. There
are four scenes, and each is novel,
especially the arctic scene in the
opening of the second act, which re-
ceived tremendous applause.
Wednesday night the usual wres-
Ting carnival will be held and on Fri
day night the amateurs will hold
forth.

ON WHEEL
A HIT AT THE ORPHEUM

While the lesson of "a Butterfly
on the Wheel no longer possesses
novelty for local theatregoers, since
the work was presented here only n
short time ago, the thought is one
which bears repetition. 1t was re-
peated with real effectiveness by the
Payton Stock Company at the Or
pheum Theatre yesterday.
There are many clever lines in the
play. but just why they should be
called collectively "a comedy in the
present instance will remain an I'M
fashionable mystery to the intelligent
The purpose which prompted them is
much more serious and earnest than
the grossly deceptive term comedy"
implies. II might better be called a
serious drama whose moral has a
wide and immediate significance.

LONG TERM FRANCHISE

The city administration has under
consideration the granting of a fan.
chise to an electric power company
for a term of so years. Apart from
the wisdom of granting franchise
TO any company at this time, it would
certainly be bad policy to grant a
long term franchise urder any cir
cumstances. Ten years wo Id be long
enough unless valuable consideration
is given for longer period, and even
then 20 years should be the limit.
But the wisdom of granting fran
ehise at all is doubtful at THIS time
in view of the declared ntention of
the city to purchase tae present dis
