The Princess Pat"


Enchanting music and an unusual
~ bright book and lyrics, according
to the critics elsewhere, accounts for
the immense success that is being en-
joyed by the latest Victor Herbert
Henry Blossom musical comedy, THE
Princess Pat" which comes TO the
academy of Music for a matinee and
night performance tomorrow. That
interesting and humorous books and
lyrics and enhancing music can be
created by Blossom and Herbert. re-
spectively, is best proven by their
earlier combined achievements which
include Mile. Modiste' and The
Prima Donna" two operas in which
FRITZ Scheff starred, and The Red
MIL, vehicle that was valuable to
MONTGOMERY and Stone.
The story Of The Princess Pat" is
ouilt around the endeavor of the
Princess di Montaldo (nee Patrice
OConnor). otherwise known as Pat.
to win back the warm affection of
her italian husband who latterly has
shown signs of indifference toward
MS viFacfous young Irish wife. That
the witty and resourceful Pat, with
the assistance of Bob barrow, a good =
natured chap of the adventurer type,
works out her designs TO a happy
conclusion is only accomplished after
all the parties involved have expert
enced some surprises. A pretty love
romance in which Grace Holbrook
and young Tony O'Brien figure, lend
additional Interest to Mr.. Blossoms
book or the music, and there are
twenty numbers, that Mr. Herbert
composed for this comedy 1t can be
safely said that they are equals Of
any he has supplied to his many other
successful operas or musical comedies
A few of the hits are Two Laughing

With the glory of the Red Sox,
White Stockings and Giants fresh in
their minds, the average fan Is prone
to forget that the greatest baseball

away race that set the National league
record for victories won in one sea
son. and eliminating when they were
blown to pieces by Connie Mack
Athletics, then rising to fame, in the
fall of 1910, the Cubs occupy q unique
niche in the baseball hall of fame
Just twelve men bore the hrunt OF
this four-year grind, and have gone
down in history as the only dozen
men that have ever formed the back
bone OF a club winning 500 games In
Ave consecutive seasons.

outfit; Frank Chance, manager and
first base: Ed Reulbach. Miner Brown,
Orvie Overall and Jack PffesteP, pitch
ers; Johnny King, catcher; Johnny

Their record is as follows:
