Hanky Panky opened Sunday to hii^ house, which seemed to be very much pleased with the show. Seattle Theatre: iJailey and Mitchell v,ill fin- ish their dramatic season at this house with a new play, The Short Cut, which opened Monday nit^ht. The play is by Rachel E. Marshall, of this city. Miss Marshall is a well-known contrib- utor to the jiopular magazines. She also enjoys the uni(|ue ])osition of hav- ing written a sketch that has been ac- cepted, the actress who is to appear in Miss Marshall's Tlie Mother being Blanche Walsh. In the i>lay. The Short Cut, the plot deals with the cur- rent problem of the working v^'ii^l and tiie wage (|uestion. The heroine is a working girl, with a crijjpled sis- ter to su]iport, on $6.00 a week, and the struggle is a titanic one. A num- ber of matters that ha\'e recently been given .space in the i)a])ers and maga- zines, including a consideration of white slavery, are incorporated in the storv that Miss Marshall has written in The Short Cut. .\ana 1 Bryant, Jack Livingston and Claire Sinclair have the ])rincipal parts and show up in good form. The play has tiie makings of a success. Ornheum: Heading the new bill is Miss ()rford and her three f:le]3hants in a circus novelty.

This handsome young couple have played here a year and a half, the last twenty-five weeks of which Mr. Lindhard was the popular leading man. Their work has always been characterized bv intelligence and relinement, and they leave here to the regret of many loyal friends and admirers. .■\t the State conclave i>f Masons held here this week. Mr. Lindhard took the high degrees of Masonry, including the Shriuer's degree in the Affifi Lodge. Ethel Tucker, who was leading vvcmian at the old Sa- voy Theatre several years ago, o])ens an eight-weeks' engagement at the I'rincess tomorrow and will be seen in characters-.

The ai)iJearance of Ray- mond Hitchcock at the Tacoma Theatre, June 22-23, aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The po])ular verdict was that not in a long time has so good a musical comedy been seen here. Mr. Ilitclicock is a whole show himself, and when beauty, good singing and dancing, humor and fine staging are added, the re- sult is a joy. I'lora Zabelle scored as the Red Widow. The Lyman II.

Warda Howard was seen to advantage in a i)leasing role and Miss lieimlich scored as the show girl, jean Mallory, I-'rederick Har- rington and Ilettie Harrows con- tributed to the comedy success of the play while Lt)ring Kelly, Xeil -McKinnon, J.
