"The Candy Shop." Tapping the list is William Rock and Maude Fulton, the Nationally famous travesty stars who are admittedly a show in themselves. It is doubtful if there is a team of singers and dancers better known or in a more advanced class. Besides having been featured in the original New York run of "The Candy shop," Mr. Rock is credited with the arrangement of the various sang and dance numbers i A this production, and in company with his teammate he figures conspicuously throughout the entire show. Among the supporting principals is Frank Deshon, leading comedian last year of "The Rose Maid": Ted Burns, whose comedy eccentricities have been conspicuous wherever funnylsms are to find the owner. After many com plications and claimants they discover that the money has not been stolen at all. Wednesday the Globe will show the greatest animal drama yet produced, "In Tune With the Wild," made in Se lig's wonderful jungle zoo. 5000 ACTORS tS COMING PLAY "Cablrla," Gorgeous Spectacle, Is Heilig Photo Drama Bill.
