H,—This well staged playlet of aonga, dances and comedy should do rcry nicely in the "pop" houses, though tbe tour "ponies" need a new routine of atena uud at least one more ■ change and up-to-date costume*. It opens in one. with an exterior drop of a candy store, the "ponies" are Invited to a "frappe" by a rattier stiff working principal man. The Inlerlo. set la good, and allows a soda clerk (comedaln) tome chances to work op laughs with soda mix- ing business, etc, He does real well, as does a fortunately well formed young woman as cashier, a tlgnt fitting strl|>ed dress working to advantage. There la bunineei to keep Interest going with "nop" audiences, but a couple of other songs are needed. "The cashier," assisted by the girls, does best with her "Just for To-night' num- ber. The "ponies" make their second change tor •lie last number, a comic soldier drill by the en- tire cast, all carrying a toy gun, and lead and worked up to fair finish by "the clerk," Floyd Simpson. Laura Roth and T. B. Orctnmer are ate other two principals, and the "ponies" in- clude Mary Miller, Anna Pairoa. Nettle Smith and Iris Kennedy. It Is presented by Uus San.

The "chubby" blonde gets her single num- ber, "Poor Pauline," over well, and makes a change from a green bodlced, pink accordion plaited to a neat black and white striped gown, vbllo her partner doesn't get oh* to ohsnge. She looked well In a blue gown. "Ureat Big Bashful Doll" it their opening, and "Can't Stop Loving Ulm Now" to close, for "doubles." "Tulip and Hose" is well chosen for an encore. To4.

Dec. 0. have been reported by the Chief of Police. This will probably be the end of tbe affair, aa the consent of the Attorney General of the Province Is neces- sary before prosecution can be commenced. The Lord's Day Alliance who called the attention of tbe Chief of Police to the matter, are taking little part in Ihe affair, probably because of the fact that tbe public condemned their Interference. Tbe proceeds of tbe concert were to have been given to the Red Cross Society, but the latter, presided over by Lady Tiller, have declined to ac- cept any money from any Sunday concerts.
