Summer Tke atric als at
(By AIM Bale.)
ONDON. July St. I don't believe
that Melba herself could chirp In
liquid iciuc? from a. donkey-
MCk. '...-..
I resolutely decline to plcturt the
; portly,, yet cultivated Clave, sitting; In a
.'.'swing; and twittering; melodiously ea'shs
mil propelled to and ' fro In seasick-y
rhythm by an affectionate tenor.
Pattt, In her heyday,, never monkeyed
with her vocal equipment In such, a way.
"As for the stout German' frau who ex
,hauats herself for tha .sweet sak of
Warner well, she, too, might balk at
, the Idea of- a donkey and a swing:.
Cunnlnir little Ruth Vincent, the new
George Edwardes gell, whom we saw
' land applauded last season at the JJroaA-
- .way theatre. In the more or Mm melllflu
, ous "Medal and the " Maid," achieves
. these strange feats In the new Messagar
eomlo opera "Veronlque." at the Apollo
- theatre. Undaunted, . and In limpid, vin
, .sophisticated, ingenuous, reluctant
'maidenhood, little Miss Vincent gives
London these new wrinkles, and pushes
forward a work that Is almost too
"good": to be. "popular," and too worthy
'to d compared with the ordinary run
Of Mr. Edwardes' productions. .;
However, the donkey at the Apollo, be
haves himself far better than the aver
age low comedian would da He steals
none of Miss Vincent's thunder. He Is
not. endeavoring to capture Irrelevant
. laughs while the little lady sings, and
thus break her np. Although a donkey
. ' Is unusual In the outfit of the comic
opera prlma-donna, I ahould think. Jhat
she would infinitely prefer him mute, in
glorious docility to the human antics of
- a Jlmmle Powers or a Bam Bernard. .
"Man transformed Iqto an ass Is ons
of tha Immemorial fictions of antiquity,'
' wrote my nimble colleague. Henri Peno
au 1301s, in mess very voiumni a iiv
months ago. "It came from tha depths
' of the Mlleelan fables Into the novel of
. Lucius, and tha "Metamorphoses' . of
Jtpulelus.". , . i
Therefore,' we need feel no compunc
tions at the transformation of the ass
Into the comedian, and Miss Vlncent
may be photographed. In all sincerity,
' sitting pleasantly on tha donkey's back
' and singing tuneful ditties from that
i vantage point. '
j - This Is what she sings, and when f
tell you thst It took three- men not
: three donkeys to write It, you may
wonder why I remarked above thst
"Veronlque" was so far superior to the
usual George Edwardes production. Tou
may even ask yourself what inferiority
could possibly be. Listen:
Trot here and there!
Taka care. take caret . ;
, ' . Never slipping,'
Never tripping. ' '""','
Dear little donkeyt ' t .
. t Trotting here. and there.
Take care, take caret
. A bunch of carrots soon shall be your
' fsrel, .
A, Vanloo'and R. Duval wrote this In
' French, and Harry Hamilton adapted It
into English. All three are men. Per
sonally. I can't help thinking and Mr.
' du Bols will, I am sure, defend me
that the ass. or the Apotto stage could
have written something better. How
ever, It was worth the price of admis
sion to hear the pathos, tha eoolng
fervor, and the sweet apostrophe In lit
tle Miss Vincent's admirable voice, as
. she sang "Dear Little Donkeyt," It was
almost touching that -"Dear- Lit Ue
Donkeyt"
The second" feat, noted above, 'was
tha "swing song." Little Miss Ruth,
. seated in a sort of IdeaflsedLConey Isl
and seasickness-Imitator, warbles one of
; the prettiest things that Messager has
written. The lover In the case, Jar.
' Lawrence Rea, pushes the swing back-
CIURLES MACKAT, WITH THH
ward and forward: It crens In ominous
threat; she sticks forth her pretty little
tootsy-wootsies as he swings her higher
and hla-her, but never once does her
voice falter, or the accuracy and sweet
ness of her tones diminish. Ton hold
' your breath and wonder what would
happen if she came a cropper, but she
. has no such feat and the eplsods ends
aa merrily as it began. - Miss Vincent
has no avoirdupois' worth speaking of.
. and tha occasion cannot be aald to suffer
from undue strain. . .
Tet "Veronlque" Is worthy. It Is
genuine comlo opera, o'f tha old-fashioned
brand. Mr. Edwardes Is trying to
.elevate himself by Its means. With
"Veronlque" and the now defunct
. "Duchessof Dantalg" In his record, he
can proudly ssy that he wants to be a
good boy. If tha London pub! la will only
allow Ik Will itf That remains to be
seen. ,
There are charming melodies In Vero

, didn't like, "La Basoche," at the Cosmo.

There Is also a story to "Veronlque"
quite a simple and almost Silly one,
about a pretty young gell. who wan tea

Today Is the last appearance of Hugh

Is not "knocking," but an expression of

This week a new gold-lettered sign was
put up running along tha front part of
the building, reading:
"Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposi

What an opportunity thla St.N Louis
fair gava us to advertise the Lewis and

riches of our state. If we had had a
more generous legislature.
Wednesday It rained m torrents, and
with the usual lightning and thunder ac

cooled very considerably. . Speaking ef
atmosphere, let me -advise any one com
ing from the PaclAo ' eoast to be sure
and bring their very lightest clothing;'
Itu fact, it la necessary to get lighter
materials than are generally worn on
the coast.' The majority of the ladles
wear white shirt waists and white skirts.
How "to sea the fair depends largely
upon tha time permitted. There are so
many 'beautiful and interesting things to
see in alt the great departments that
which would Interest one person would
bore another. ,. .
The Ltndell entrance is preferable. The
Olive street cars run every minute aad
are better than the Wabaah ahuttle
train. I would suggest taking a ride
around the grounds on one of the elec
tric automobilea; cost IS cents. . Then go
through one of the large buildings, pass
ing quickly those exhibits ,not Interest
ing you. Then take a ride around the
lake and lagoons In either an electric
launch or a Venetian gondola; the for
mer cost K and the latter to cents. This
boat ride Is enchanting, and one should
be sure and take It. After thla restful
ride, take In another building. One

the Manufacturing building; whether
man or woman, old or young, one will
be pleased with the dainty and beautiful
