But It's not necessary to go to the ipark If you have a place to pay rent for. Well, anyway, Graoe Connell skipped her . white silk socked feet to old "tlnpan alley" one day last week to give as the "so long,'' minus the slobber on tae forehead, beforo she grabbed herself a rattler for San Fran- cisco, where she and Frisco De Vcre are going to be "one of the grandest little slater acts in the business."

Never before In the history of burlesque In Chi- cago has a house devoted to :hls form of smaes- ment been honored by the presence of so many distinguished Mople of the theatrical, Journal- istic and official world, and never before has a burlesque catertalnmont received the undliMe.l attention snd gene.al approbation accorded Jo- seph Uurtlg's Ginger Girls, with Bd. Lee Wrothe In bis familiar role of Janitor Hlgglas. Responding to the wonderful sdvertlHlng eiun- ptlgn Inaugurated by Manager Colonel William Roche upon bis arrival in Ohloagu from Detroit, where for several seasons be has managed the Gayety Theatre with groat success, Cblcagoins flocked to the Columbia Thestre by huulreds. and for hours before the Initial curtain rang ttp, the "SoJd Oat" sign was on view. Hsd th- Chkcgo ordinances permitted, every Inch of standing room would nave been disposed of at a premium, and area then hundreds would have been tamed away. Among the first arrivals were the representa- tive* of the dally newspapers, among them being Obaflea Collins, recently appointed dramatic critic of 2~ae Chicago Homing Pott; Frederick nation, who, with his talented wife, Mrs. Fanny Ixx-ko Ilotlon, 1* writing dramatic criticisms for Thr VMcago Heroli; O. L. Hall, of r*« Journal; Dob Lee, of Tht Soluro\tv Homing Ttlrgrnp'i; Guy I'. Lee, of Tho Tribune; Warren A. Patrick, ->r Tar .New Yousc OUrraa, and a number of other*. To those familiar with, the former situation In Chicago with relation to the press and burlesque, this representation of Journalistic talent means much and augurs well for the future of tbe Columbia under tho guldauee of Colonel Bocbe. The performance given by Hr. Wrothe ami hit associates fully merited tbe kind things said of it by the local critics in their columns on the following day. Only word* of praise wero printed and tho gentlemen of the press s|i|iearou morn than pleased and not a little surprised at the work of the stage. Wrothe'* comarly, Jane Lo Dean's character work, Augusta Lang's voice, Frlttl Leylcn's manner of leading numbers, tbe dancing of Ixxxianl and Alvlu, and of the "Blglit English Rows," all were praised, as were the costuming and scenic effects. The opening scene Is laid In tho apartment* of Mrs. Laura Armstrong, on Riverside Drive, and Wrothe mske* his apiiearaiice as tho Janitor of the apartment haute. He is called upon to nsper- sonate the mlsKlng husband of Mrs. Armstrong, in order that she may nil tho requirements of ■ will and teeeive a sum of money from her uncle's estate. Whon he has carried out bus nbllgutlou, ho loathe* that but for blm Mrs, Armstronis could not have obtained tbe money and lUvnands half, threatening; exposure unless his demand is complied with. Having gained tho money, bo offers to take Mrs, Armstrong and her guests to Alaska, where the second scone is laid, ss bis guests. Tin ro, after having lost all of his money, be hns ninny adventures, all, of course, of a rouir edy value. Tho comedy is quick anil sure, and Wrothe get* it over with all of bis old-tlnu as- surance snd despatch. The cast of "Illgvlns At Home," is th* first act is titled, is as follows: Mis* Sallle Tucker, Bister of Mrs. Armstrong, Jane Lo Beau Mrs. Laura Armstrong, Wife of Commander . Aruistroog, U. S. N Augusta Lang Mnrle, a Maid Frlttl Ley ton John D.

"The Eight Knglbvh Rooos," a dancing team, well-known In vaudeville, make a valuable addi- tion to the above list, and their specialty Is one of tbe substantial hit* of the offering. The Columbia has been re-decorabea throughout since It closed, following Jack Singer's engage- ment of flro weeks with stock, sad Colonel Itocho ha* one of the handsomest theatres lo Chicago. The Colnmbla's staff this season Is as follows: K. H. Strlngfellow, treasurer; Fred Mshon, assistant treasurer; Ben). S. Oarotson. prms reprttcutatlva; P. M. Murphy, president of tho International BUI Poster's Union, advertising ogent: Alfred O. Rackett, musical director; Jo- seph Healy, stags manager; Al. Wilson, proper- ties: Larry Oassldy, electrician; Loals Byrne, bead naher. The affable Murphy and hi* ten men made a wonderful showing of paper for the open- ing of the house snd four men will be kept at work throughout the season. The Colombia first opened Its doors Feb. 211, 1011, and sinco that time has steadily grown In favor with Chkagoons, who realise that there, if anywhere, they get a dollar's worth of entertain- ment for the dollar admission charged to the highest-priced seats, and from all Indications the new season nnder the uuruAgexnetit of Colonol Roche should prove the banner one hi tbe history of the house.
