The Winter Garden has achieved an
individuality of its own in q remarkaDly
short time. It began as an imitation OF
the European music hall, and the nrs'
two or three shows offered on this pian
were rather sad and himsy analrs-a
sort of cropping for something new and
different with no coherent idea OF tine
outcome. But after this brief trying
out" period the Winter Garden touno
itself" and became an essentially Amer
ican institution, Offering distinctly orig
inal entertainment, and today furnishes
the best hodge-podge Of pretty girs,
catchy music, terpsichorean art noSelties
and gorgeous scenery in the world Every
entertainment offered there Is riot OF
color, burlesQue, extravaganza hunor'
and sycopation-
Further than this the Winter Garden
has achieved its phenomenal success IN
dependent of individual artists. The hrst
entertainment which was given there
with success so swelled the principal ar
lists with a sense Of their Importance
that they Immediately assumed airs.
As a consequence OF this the next snow
was given without them, and 1t MADE
inst as big a hit. From that time the
house has never been identified with any
one artist, or set Of artists, although
MANY clever folk are engaged In making
the wheel of amusement spin merrily.
.sThe whirI of the World" is the most
elaborate of all the Winter Garden
spectacIes, being travesty on the mod

with nirth and music.
