That -was only five months ago, and tiiey are •nee more obliged to move into larger qnarters and have just leased an entire floor with an area of 8,500- square feet in the building at 217.31.<)- 221 West Xadison Street, into which they will move on'or before December 1.

The Anderson Sisters' Big Musical Comedy Company write from Obion, Tenn,, that they are doing., fine business, and that everybody in' tbe amuvement line Is^di^ttg-well in, that sectjon^ of- the country.

The Anderson Company was booked at,the Colonial Theatre, Trenton,.an np. stairs house, with the clause In the contract that there waa no opposition. "When the com- pany arrived they found tbe Gny Stock Company under canvas. There was no jise bucking -the Gny Show under tbe conditions, and It looked as though the .Anderson Show was up against It, but Charles Mercer stepped to the front and of- fered them tbe use of a 50-f t. top, - -with which the company played matinees at tbe fair grounds and Mercer played - evenings, with the result that both done turn-away business. And to top It off, Mr. Mercer refused to be paid for tbe use of the tent. Mr. Carlton Gny and the mem- bers of .the company also showed the Anderson Company many favors, which were highly ap- preciated.- edly 'the "greatest producer of the day is the world.

Her voice had given out again. But Miss Partington. -who will alternate with Miss Syiva TiencefortD, carried the part most successfully. " ," Tbe Sun says: "It Is somewhat difficnlt to sav Just what Gypsy Love would have been with the voice and personality of Miss Sylva added to It. Without her. even in snite of the nnnsnally tun ■ fnl music, the piece wanted a certain snap and - spirit, tbe lack of which might easily be ac- - counted for by tbe general wet blanketing efTect of - the star's Illness. There w.as not In the whole piece any number that will be as popniar as The . Ifotry Widow Waltz, but there Is much tbat Is • thoroughly enjoyable. 'Many of tht n'nnibers and most of the dances sre in waltz time, and th:r one song, Gy-sy Love, has a particularly 111 tine refrain that Is frequently reneated throngh tb'- piece. . "TSie atory of the piece is of adrl, Zorlka. tl:e daughter of a nobleman, who Is filled with lone ing for a roving lite. She meets and falls in lov<; with tbe half-brother of her afilahced lover.'am" promises to ma away with blm and :joln bini in the wild roving life of a' gyiisy mnslcian. But before she goes, her old n^rse persuades be- to drink from a certain magic spring that will give her a glimpse of tbe fnture.; . The girl drinks and fails asleep' on -a' txansv bank. The second act Is all the dream tbat comes to her, tbe revealing of her position In three years, when the' gypsy life palls on her. when her father refuses <to recognize ner and her lover has grown weary of her and finds amuse -.ment in.the gay life of the cafes. • "She wakens to her lover's exhortation to Join him in flight, but the recollection of the drean> still before her, she turns away from the gypsy love he ofTers. and goes back to the safe If somt*. what nnromintlc arms of her betrothrd. I ."Apart from the two principal characters then- were few roles of any Importance. Miss Francen Demorest. as 71am. a young widow, sang ann danced, but without especial' distinction. Her strongtest point was the manner In which sh< wore her clothes. "Harry McDooongh, as Zorika's father, and Albert Hart, as a barber and beauty doctor, had perfectly conventional comedy reles, which they played In « nerfectly conventional msniter. I ;-GeorBe I,.
