Tliero Is the usual lightness Of pbit, proverbial with this class of enter- liilniiicni. the story revolving around some lthnr*N-of mining slock, which, supposed to •lie worthless, pass, through several hands. I-'Initllv, when Ihe mine proves valuable and the slock sours skyward, the original owner sets out to recover the. shores, which he eventually does, but Is obliged to follow them from Pnrls to New Vork before he succeeds. The authors, hnve written n bright snd In- teresting bonk, nnd Mr. Kerker bus furnished music much hotter nnd more pleasing than is usually found in this class of en- tertainment. Mr. Burnsldc, under whose dl- recilon . the production was staged, has proved himself equnlly clever as writer anil producer, und Jack Mason deserves much credit for the various dances which were ar- ranged under hlB guidance. There are sev- eral verv eatehv songs and choruses, one of Hie best being "The Subway Express," sung liy Air. Harrison and Miss llltchle nnd chorus, which proved to lie a pronounced novelty.
