"Hello, -BIU,' at the Lyric.
"Hello, Bill," a very funny farce.
opened at the Lyrio yesterday, to two
capacity houses. In . the form of a
musical comedy It Is ons continuous
laugh from the rise of tha first curtain
to Its final fall. Mr. Athon In the part
of William Fuller, who has been ar
rested In a' gambling raid on the eve
of his wedding, is the cause of all the
fun and Is very ably assisted by Mr.
Howard as the general fixer.
"Bill" (Mr. Athon) Is the most cheer
ful Uar that has been heard In many
day aad ' the many lies that he must
tell in order to square his absence,
with his wife, Is really the whole show,
The play la cast well and reflects
credit upon the stage director. Jack
Bennett, who, by the way, is the real
"Bill." and which is handled by him
In the best of style.
Miss Knowles, as the newly wedded
wife, handles a difficult role In her
usual acceptable manner. The ladles
of the company wear some handsome
gowns. The musical numbers are par
ticularly well directed and staged, and
serve to show the worth of the popular
members of the company. The stage
settings, painted by Lee Hutton and his
assistants, are good. . "Hello, Bill" will
be at the Lyric all week, with matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. .

Gold, a cyclonic bit of femininity, who
works over' tlma In the rola of Molly

shy on voice. Is an excellent actress,
and made the greatest kind of a hit in
her Impersonations In "Goodbye. Molly

Harold J. Rehlll. who plays Tom Man-

agreeable singing. Charles Halton aa
Barnaby Bustle, who loathes aummer re
sorts, and Miss Josie Intropldl as Mrs.
Barnaby Bustle, who adorea summer re- j
sorts and actors, supply a goodly snare
of comedy. Their duet "Bah," brought
forth many a laugh and deserved en
cores.
The chorus, though hardly comely. Is
entirely competent and remarkable for I
Its number of good volcea. One of the
striking numbers executed by the chorus
Was the regimental review. The music,
one of the best features of the ahow, Is
delightfully whlstly.

m ine now ramoua case of Charles E.
Btegaii, a gauger in tha employ of
ine unitea btates department of inter
nal revenue, waa resumed today In tha
United States court .The case, it will
be remembered, evoked a sharp con-
xnst : Detween tna state and federal
courts, the Dade county superior court
' holding. 6tegall In contempt because .he
declined to answer before the grand
jury a question as to what was being
nwuiuiaciurea at me curefaon distil
lery. The -United States authorities,
on tha other hand, upheld the gauger,
taking tha stand that his oath and bond
forbade him to divulge tha desired in-
lormauon. f
The Issue la regarded aa ona of great
Importance, especially In prohibition
states or localities. Tha decision is
awaited with interest as it will afford
a precedent for state oourta In the trial
of alleged violations of tha prohibition
law. And, furthermore. It will become
a precedent In tha matter of state or
county interference with United States
