NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The enorm-
Gus popularity of the musical show
is in greater evidence than ever. At
no time during the last twenty years,
can I recall an avalanche similar to
that which has descended upon us
this season.
The serious" drama is regarded
askance. The quick and vivid life of
New York yearns TO forget itself at
night, and the way of forgetfulness
is apparently via the musical show.
Whilst a considerable number of
dramatic attractions have this season
and veni'd and vidi'd and NOT
weld, the musical shows have nearly
all enjoyed long and profitable runs,
and although they are expensive af-
fairs, the outlay is warranted by the
results.
THEATERS ARE SCARCE.

ing, the musical attractions in the
city show this astounding list:
