when doubtless the legion of follow
ers of that most popular of all musi
cal comedies will wear the smile that
will not be eradicated, for a surety
lio jollier, snappier, or more rib-
tickling play has visited the classic
precincts of this village for many a
day. Geo. M. Cohan has succeeded
in evolving a musical comedy with a
real plot, and there is just enough
love interest in "Little Johnny Jones"
to keep the folks who lean towards
the sentimental side of life in a de
lightfully preoccupied condition.
Song hits galore are found in
"Little Johnny Jones." Startling
situations are found in "Little Johnny
Jones." A chorus who are never
idle is found in "Little Johnny
Jones," and through it all stalks "The"
Unknown", who says everybody in
the world has got a mean disposition
because they do not countenance his
convivial views of life. This- unique
character must be seen to be appre
ciated. It is a classic in so far as
musical comedy is concerned.

scenic standpoint on tour this aea-
son. It is in three acts and four
scenes and will be presented here
with the same massive and realistic
scenery as seen for six months ia
