Hooray," a: burlesque or ganization which has been annexing many house records in the past few seasons on the Columbia Circuit, will be seen Thursday, Friday and Satur- day at the Park The diversity of en- tertainment provided in this produc- tion eXertS an unusual appeal to the theatre goers and has placed it among the leaders in burlesque attractions. The company has been provided with an exceptionally good laughing vehicle and George Hayes, Ben Pierce, Pat Kearney and Jack Dorman exhaust every comedy opportunity. In addi- ton there are some top notch vaude- vile numbers. As a burlesque pro- duction, Hip, Hip, Hooray'' fills-every requirement. It is one of the costliest burlesque shows ever put on the road and the money investment has ob- tained artistic detail in costuming and in scenic equipment. The producer has not been afraid to be original and he has made wide departures from customary burlesque methods, which have made his show all the more eff fective. In addition to thase already mentioned, the company includes the Misses Helen McClain, Kitty Warren, Vivian Myers and a corus of selected show girls.

The same year 1918, Rosa Pom selle made her debut in the leading role in La Forza del Destino'' with Caruso at the Metropolitan Opera House.
 Until her deubt at the Metropikan, Miss Ponselle had never before appeatf+t in opera, her work had been entirely in vaudeville. Since her triumph in La

 triumph, she has sung in "Operon.' ' 'Cavalleria Rusticana." La. Juive" and Aida" Her first performance Sl
