MILLER AND EYLES IN

NEXT WEEK
By ATTERFlELD

A musical comedy replete with
catchy singing, snappy dancing,
beautiful scenery, gorgeous costumes
wonderful chorus of forty, and their
own orchestra-that's the description
in brief, of Miller and Lyles latest
success "Runnin' Wild" the Academy
of Music offering on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, February 5, 6 Z,
with a matinee on Saturday.
Miller and Lyles are bringing the
production here with the original
cast, so popular for one solid year at
the Colonial Theatre, New York e.
Miller and Lyles wrote the play,
Mack and Johnson supplied the tune
full music. "Runnin' Wild" is said
to be as good an entertainment as
one could wish it moves with pleas
ing rap dity through two acts and
ten scenes and leaves pleasant
memory.
It has a dozen or more cl1nging
melodies, which are few more than
the average white show can boast.
1t has dozen capable principals and
chorus who dance wonderfully, and
their own "Runnin' Wild" orchestra
who play through the entire perform
ance, and offer novelties between the

acts. in short it is recommended as
the ideal way to spend an evening.
The piece is crowded with special
ties, all of which are fresh and
spontaneous and done by capable
principals. Most unusual about the
performance are the chorus. The
fact ia they dance in way that is
little short of automatic. One can
bardlt describe thear-wse&i isssresem
bling that OF chorus. It Is strictly
.fndirIdual They appear frequently
during the show. and each time they
are on they nearly stop the perform:
ance. They are one Of the many
good things in "Runnin' Wild" and
ore Of the spec.alties that make the
piece as attractive as 1t is.
The principals are all very good =.
Miller and Eyles have an individual
style Of comedy that provokes laugh
ter continually. Their method OF
putting line across is always effec
tive. AN things combined "Runnin'
Wild" can be proclaimed as delight
ful a musical production as has
played here in many seasons and one
worth seeing.

SOUNI\IR pOSTAL.S
 MAY PASS.

An ili0syncrasy of the now postal law that has not received much at- tantion, but will be noted during the tourist season. has to do with the elimination Of the one-ccnt mailing privilege for souvenir or private mailing cards.
 Vacationists in the summer time have relied upon the souvenor cards 10 inform their friends back home how they were enjoying their yaca- ton, frequently winding up with "wish you were here" II is doubt- full if extrayagant yacationists will go in for souvenir postal cars quite as heavily now that the postage thereon win require a two-ccnt stamp. Rather tlan contribute in that amout 10 .he government they probably won't inI1lge in the orgies O. card-shovcrine the friends back in the homo to@u,
 It is doubtful # the government will gain through this increase on souvenir postal cars, It will cost the 1 goyernmon, JUS. as much to operate The mails, and instead ot the cus- tomary to'as oC souvenir and pri- vate mailing cars, there simply will be vastly fewer. The bright mind that thought of this scheme proh- ably had dimrul}y in seeing beyond the point Of his nose.
