of the moon, comes in search of
moon bride, who must be a maiden

starts and never let's up a moment
up to the finale. which Is supposed to
be in the palace of the man in the
moon. The earth beings involved in
the story are Happy, Hans and Mike
of THE Cat and the Fiddle" fame,
aided by the Genii, the good fairy,
the new play being a continuation OF
their experiences. AS Mr.. Sellon is
aided by some 20 other personages,
with a number of musical features and
song hits, and a carload of scenery
and effects, theatregoers here can be

that almost dignified vanity itself, at
another with an uneasy jealousy at
once petty and absurd.
Some years ago in a review of the
work of the two Dumases. father and
son, an anecdote was related that we'll
illustrates this trait. Both of the Du-
masses, Victor Hugo and several others
were chatting together when a foreign
gentleman was presented, who made
an excellent impression on every one
until the moment of his departure. As
he bowed in taking leave he addressed
himself to the most celebrated mem
bers Of the group and assured them Of
his pride and satisfaction IN having
met the greatest poet, the greatest ro-
mancer and the greatest dramatist of
France"
"A little unthinking of our friend to
address his parting compliment entire
ly to me, was 1t not?" remarked Victor
Hugo complacently.
The others looked at each other and
he caught the look.
The dramatist-that was you, then.
you think, DumasT he inquired Of Du-
mas the younger in An ominous voice.
Then a thought even more appalling oc-
CURED to him, and without waiting for
a reply he turned TO Dumas the elder.
THE romancer, monsieur-the ro-
mancer! Do i understand you to sup
pose that by the greatest romancer' it
was you who WAS designated? Reply.
monsieur" he demanded. His brow
was thunderous, and the company held
their breath, but the elder Dumas, who
! never found himself at loss, answer
ed with an easy laugh:
But certainly 1t was I, and the
! dramatist was my son. How should 1t
be otherwise? You did not invite the
gentleman to dine, and l did. You are
not a cOOk-a good cook, a veritable
/ prince among cooking amateurs-and

are, are for US, his prospective hosts.
But they are only payment in advance
| for the salade marseillaise of peppers
! stuffed with minced crab meat which
! have promised 10 prepare for him and
which | invite you TO share also"
The great and only Hugo shrugged a
tolerantly contemptuous shoulder.
"No; have had enough Of the SO
ciety Of this gentleman who speaks
from the stomach, not the head" he
stated grandly. You may appreciate
It. Dumas. but I do not. 1t is true
