in the opening chorus. Those partic-

Glotfelty and C. S. Zeller. They were
roundly applauded in their speciality
acts and for their singing.
The big song hit, Henry Made

was splendidly rendered.
The second part, eliza Rosewater's
Divorce Case" was very amusing as
well as entertaining and brought forth
some ridiculous situations.
