HIPPODROME SHOW
IN SUMNER DRESS
Mr.. Sousa Wears White, and
New Songs Are the Rule.

Summer arrives at the Hppodromc
in advance Of its appearance in the
subway this year. John Philip Sousa
and his musicians last night bloomcd
forth in Immaculate white, and the en-
tire Hippodrome show underwent a
process Of more or less rejuvenation.
To the lay eye there was evident no
particular necessity for the rejuvcnat-
ing process. since the year at the Hip
podromc has been one Of the most pros
porous that that playhouse ever has en-
ioycd. Last nights performance was
the 36Sth, and the number Of persons
who have viewed the entertainment Is
30 large that only the llippodrome press
department can remember the figures
Despite these facts, however. several
new songs have been added and several
of the old numbers have been recos-
tuned. Belle Storey now sings a new
one by Irving Berlin, entitled Every
thing Is Ragtime," as we'll as a new
Chinese number. Charles T. Aldrich
offers one or two new metamorphoses
and Nat Wills has a new and amusing
song which recites the adventures Of
one Anna. Ono waited yainly, however.
for new joke in Mr.. Wiils's series
Of kilograms. Mr. Sousa's "Hippodrome
March is missing, being replaced by
The Pathfinder of Panama" and a
patriotic number. The skating scene
also has been rcarranged and aug
mented.
Despite these changes. IL must be
added that Hip, Hip Hooray," is n
show OF such magnitude that IL seems
but little altered. Il Is to-day what fl,
was on the opening night huge, in
genious and varied entertainment that
is enjoyable both because of and in
spite Of its size. 10 will remain at the
Hippodrome all summer, and will be
seen next season in those cities which
boast auditoriums sufficiently large to
accommodate N
