AMUSEMENT NOTES
"The Little Cafe" Realism.

The first act scene of "The Little
Cafe which will be seen at the opera
house Wednesday, Feb. 2S, is a fac sim
lie of the cafe in Mont -Martre, wherein
Tristan Bernard received his idea of the
theme of his plot, in which he wrote the
first lines of it, and which Mr.. c. NJ. S.
Mcclellan personally photographed and
brought to this country for the artists to
reproduce. The incident of the story
was nearly duplicated in this city last
week when baker Unexpectedly became
heir to large fortune from relative
in Germany, and upon being asked if he
would give up his business, remarked,
"No! | shall remain baker eight hours
q day, and a man of leisure and money
the rest of it."
No matter how realistic the details of
production in musical comedy may be,
very little attention is paid to them by
the audience. In "The Little Cafe"
fortune has been spent in its environ
ment which does not strike the eye, and
in the blaze of color and whirlwind of
action may not be seen at all. The tap
estries in the Grand Gala restaurant of
the second act are fine enough to drape
millionaire mansion. All the glass
and silverware used in this act is OF
the finest quality. The entrance from

rant in Paris, which is the rendezvous
