"The 'Chef struck the right chord and the La Ralle theater, which wltneaBed its prcmir, was packed. The people of Chicago said It was 'the best ever,' and relying upon this estimate It was sent to New York, where It was said to be the worst ever. This, however, should not discourage Chicago produc ers, nnd it didn't because New York can't understand anything that Is not of Its own making. 'The Chef returned to Chicago and prosperity and resumed omelets and dollars for an almost in definite length of time. It is credited with Ave scpnrnte engagements in St. Louis -in a single season, and made a bit each time. "Seattle was promised the piece and last night got it. The story is just a impossible as most musical comedy stories, and it has something of the same impossible atmosphere that was attached to the 'Sultan of Sulu, with out the wit of the Ade lines or the jingle and tunefulness of the Wathall miiKio, although there are several places in the score marked for local apprecla- given In fine spirit and was recalled.

His singing of 'In the Morning' was along Romoee lines, and was encored. Mr. Ciemson has a tenor voice which was employed in a solo, 'When Old Glory Floats from Every where,' that Bhared the same fato as tho rest of the favorites. Lempbauser's solo, "It's a Way They Have In Chi cago,' went with a rush and the corne lian's other solos in which be urged his dcire to return to Chicago, offered him a chance for a couple of really pathetic lines, if pathog may be as sociated with low comedy. "There were several other musical hits, Including 'O'Reilly,' by Elsie Era uoe, as Kitty, in which she was backed up by an effectively dressed chorus. There was a big finale nt the end of tho second act, and a chorus opening the third act, that were well received. The ensemble continent can sing, nnd there is vim and ginger throughout. The witch chorus, seen in Seattle a number of times, was disposed of by the encrgctio broilers. The scenery and settings are effective and the cos tuming picturesque."
