True to expectations, the play was good and the acting weln .done. It had a real plot, contrary to most musical com edies, and the characters were so fixed that no one actor "hogged" the stage. Jimmy Jarvis wds a poor boy, but he had an idea and that idea was to make enough money to ask for the hand of Merriemay Marvis, the daughter of J. Dependable Marvis who was a big fig ure on Wall street. Count De Le Sam avour was also in love with the pretty Merriemay, and told her of his palace. Enter The Villian The family favored the count, who contrary to expectations, is a real one, but Jimmy secures the aid of Little Venus, the vaudeville star, and every thing works out fine, a seemingly fool ish business deal of Jimmy's making him a fortune, ruining the count and causing the Marvis family to love him. The chorus was composed of pretty girls, and the songs and dances were warmly applauded. Ed Baker's inter pretation of the "Charleston" was so well received so that he had to respond twice. Misses Elizabeth Thompson, Kath erine Phillips, Mary Cantwell, Kather ine Zeigler and Leora Johnson, all co eds, had parts in the play, and Johnnie Strickland, W. H. Graham, Lindsay Hall, Ed Baker and Carlisle Smith had the leading masculine roles. BILLY BULL'S A Meal a Minute ! "An American Restaurant" 1211 Gervais Street REGULAR DINNERS.
