In announcing to his patrons the looming production of 'The Girl in the Taxi," which follows "The Ne'er Do Well"- at the Baker, Manager Baker wants to correct a rather general im pression that it is a musical comedy. It is not musical in any sense of the word, but one of the liveliest farces ever written, and Its success has been little short of marvelous. It is clean and free from suggestiveness, carry ing a story of Bohemian life with Just enough spice to keep things lively with out offending. The situations are ridiculous in the extreme, and are constructed with but one purpose to create laughter. It all started from the unusual incr dent of a certain girl and a strange man happening to get into a taxi dur ing a rain storm at the same moment and what It all lead to. Like all farces it is foolish and impossible, but that THEATER MAIN 2, A 5360 BROADWAY AJVD MORRISON ST. GEO. L. BAKER.
