Coming to Har j risburg after its four months' record |of success at the Knickerbocker The atre, New York, and its ensuing tri umph at the Illinois Theatre, Chicago, this big organisation will undoubtedly be the prominent spring attraction. In addition to having the singing, dancing i and funmaking services of three of the brightest stars of musical comedy, it ; is conceded to be the best all around I girl show ever imported from the Gaie jtv Theatre, Loudon. The music, bv Paul Rubens and Jerome Kern is tune ful to a degree and includes tho fa mous song hit, "The Same Sort of I Girl," which has swept the country.

It is a Vitagraph picture and a merry farce in four parts, featuring Ciasy Fitzgerald and a whole lineup of most excellent players. The winsome widow is a musical comedy actresß, but business is bad and the press agent worries about how to keep the ghost walking. The financial hori zon finally brightens and Cissy's wink plays havoc with every member of her eompany and some rich men in the audience. Each admirer sends her an ligent, kind and true than a whole lot of people." Miss Hint's lays her dimple against |Ossinnnnn's white neck and pats Ossi anna's exceedingly pink nose. Ossi anna is one of fifteen "slatne horses" that will pose for the ndmiriug multi tnde at the circus here next Thursday, I May 6th, and Albena llines is the little lady who puts the animal through her stunt without tap of finger or Hick of | whip. If you so much as laid the tip of a ilash on Ossiannn's ear, she would shiver with nerves and refuse to go through iher act like the dogs of Japan who do I not move if you shy a stone at them |because they have never been ill treated and do not know fear. Ossiantia re sponds to love and kindness but does not comprehend force. It took Miss Mines and a male trainer I five months to teach Ossi anna and the | animal as a pet and in turn she in vites them to attend a dinner party.
