JOHN HOWARD PAINE ,

BALTIMORE LIKED
"HEIGH-HO. SHOW.

The Washington Theater Produc-

"Heigh-Ho." will open at the Shubert-

proper musical comedy is ever burd-

that II boasts picturesque and artistic

also plays one of the leading roles
with great finesse and in the true

of the lyrics, whereas Mr.. Taylor did

The important subjects to be

Governor Cornwell has been the
most able executive We have had
in years and it likely that he has
something up his sleeve that will
cause the people of the country
to sit up and take notice.
