The old saying that nothing suc ceeds like success has never received greater exemplification than in the case of that most successful of mod ern farciai comedies, “Hello Bill,” which is to be the attraction at the Star Theatre tonight. At the origi nal production of Willis Maxwell Goodhue’s merry play, the purest French farce was at the zenith of its career, and the critics declared with one voice tnat an absolutely clean comedy, dealing with absolutely clean characters,without a suggestion of double entendres or risque situa tions was foredoomed to failure. How little,they knew of the American public has been proven by the over whelming success of Mr. Goodhue’s funny playlet, which ij now in its fourth laughing season, aud which has probably made more|people laugh during the last three years than any other American comedy, while the French farces, with their filthy sug gestion, have been buried deep under the avalanche of popular disapproval. Although “Hello Bill'’ is now in its fourth year before the public, it has never yet been seen west of St. Louis, and with the exception of a few weeks at the close of last season, is a stranger also to the great Southern country, hence its first trans-conti nental tour this season from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexi !0, brings it into a territory where it will to all intents and purposes be a new attraction. Bearing this point in mind Messrs. Goodhue <fc Kellogg have made ex treme efforts in the selection of their company this year, and it is said that the organization they hive brought together is the best of the kind which has been seen in these parts in many a day - ; ‘•The Prisoner of Zemla.” The attraction at the Star Theatre on Monday, March 9th, will be the dramatized edition of the cream of Anthony Hope’s genius,“The Prison er of Zenda.” This fascinating story is to a greater or less degree familiar to all, and its intense situations, its episodes of thrilling adventures, so originally conceived and so brilliantly executed, have made this play the one successful romance of the age. Plays have come and plays have gone, but the popularity of “Zenda” like the water of the babbling brook runs on forever. Its success this season has far exceeded in the line of attendance that of its previous achievements, enormous audiences greeting this attraction wherever presented. The same scenic splendor that signalized the New York produc tion has been duplicated in its en tirety by Mr. Ernest Shipman, who is directing the present tour. Along cast, headed by that exceptionally clever romantic actor, Joseph 8el- man, appearing as “Rudolf, King of Ruritania,” andjtbe beautiful Flor ence Gale, as the “Priccess Flavia,” will be found on the programme. Lovers of an evening’s entertainment that is food for the imagination, pleasing to the fancy, satisfying the intellect and thrilling the senses, should not miss seeing “The Prisoner of Zenda.” A Valubble Commendation. Dear Mr. Maxim :—I was keenly interested in your programmes, and am very glad that you sent them. It seems to me almost marvelous (judg ing from trustworthy accounts of the primitive condition or musical taste in the South) that you can ven ture to present such “stiff” pro grammes. Either it proves noble perseverance on your part, of unusual willingness to be converted, on the part of the public. Your influence must be great for good in this way, and you merit all possible success. Cordially yours, (signed) Percy Goetschins. The programmes referred to are those that have been given by the college faculty this season. The praise falls, not primarily upon the faculty of the school of music, in dividually or collectively, but upon Limestone College which makes pos sible this series of recitals. The value of the commendation is appreciated by those who know Dr. Goetschins as a Royal Wirtemberg professor and the author of “Tone Relations,” “Counterpoint,” “Melo dy Writing,” “Material of Musical Composition” aud other treatises on musical topics.
