morrow evening. Everything in
the way Of a modern production
will be seen when this musical
play, in two acts and five scenes,
Is given. Colonel /. Willard Helm,
president and general director of
the Musical Comedy Guild, and
his associates have spared no ex.
pense in the production of the
Gellett Burgess story, based on
his fantastic poem, THE Purple
Cow, which has caused so much
comment in literary circles, and
for several years has proven one
OF the most delightful rhymes for
children. To Carolyn Wells, who
has been so we'll known to the
stage. is due a great deal of
credit for the manner in which
she has aided the poet to put
forth his numerous verses into a
complete musical play. OF Edwin
Heims, the young composer, hail
Ing from Philadelphia, a great
deal can be said of his music,
but that should be left to his aud
fences to judge.
During rehearsals music critics
nave been present and each has
expressed himself as more than
pleased.
Such well known names as
Gertrude Vanderbilt, Dorothy
Francis. Harry Deft, Harry T.
Shannon, Phil Dwyer, Arthur
Leming, Ida Mule, Percy HeIton
and Carolyn Reynolds are in the
cast. Among the newcomers to
be seen and heard are The Field
Sisters. Douglas Kinleyside, Mar.

The company is due to arrive

he busy all day putting on the
finishing touches. For nearly Two
months rehearsals have been going
on at the Lewisohn Stadium and
in Carnegie Hall. There will be
fifty people in the chorus and the
orchestra will be composed OF
thirty.five musicians.

states that he carried 104 eggs to
the said hatchery and that he re-
turned with 101 little chicks. Some
of his friends think that the average
is altogether too good, but he has
the chicks as his evidence. However
he finally admitted that he pur-
chased thirty of the little fellows
from the hatchery, which accounted
for his great success with his White
