times motion picture manufacturers
have endeavored to reproduce wild an
imaI hunts by using broken down Cir
Gus animals, but the pictures have al
ways been obviously manufactured,
and have given no more idea of a big
game hunt than a Autographed poster
on a wall.
The picture shown as portion of
the Paul j. Rainey African hunt, how
ever, is so obviously the real thing,
that no one ever thinks of questioning
it. In the first place, the background
of a jungle. peculiar only to Africa, IS
shown. and then the complete hunt is
thrown on the screen.

Throughout its action there is not one
instance of mistaken identity. no male
person is required to masquerade in
feminine garments, and none of the
other age old and now tiresome rules
for provoking laughter in this sort of
play has been observed. The subtitle
is aptly descriptive. Mr. Hughes has
taken a score and a half of persons
from everyday American life, placed
them aboard a Pullman sleeper on an
Overland flyer bound from Chicago to
the Pacific coast, and let things hap

while they are perfectly logical in their
origin and sequence, keep up laughter
for three acts.

Oscar Hammerstein. the interna-

control of the Manhattan Grand Opera
company, his famous grand opera
organization, made a working ar
rangement by which he would not
embark in grand opera in America

ately upon the settlement of these ar
rangements, he contracted with Vic

pretentiousnesS, with a score demand
ing exceptional voices, in order that
many of his grand opera employees

devoted followers are Old Matt and

add that pretty romance is woven
