Then, all of a suddeji POP POP1 POP! Musical comedy was uncorked at several points along the gay white way. Pretty good musical comedy, too, all of it. HUNGRY HE TURNED BANDIT AND CAVE MERRY CHASE Lew Fields is offering "Suzi" at the Casino. It is from the Hunga rian. The music is by Aladar Renyi, whose name has hitherto meant nothing in the life of the American theater-goer, but who promises to make a place for himself in the hearts of music lovers if he contin ues to send over such charming mel lodies as many of those in "Suzi." The cast is strong in comedy as well as vocal ability, including Jose Collins, Connie Ediss, Robert Bvett, Tom McNaughton and Lew Hearn. Joe Weber is running opposition to his old side-partner with a musical offering called "The Only Girl," at the 39th st. theater. Victor Herbert did the tunes and Henry Blossom the lines.

A score of deputy sheriffs were scurrying around the highways leading from Seattle, armed with grim-looking Winchesters and instructions to shoot to kill, if necessary. Between the bandit and his pur suers many shots were exchanged. The fact that nobody was killed even injured seems due to caprice of Fate, coupled with poor marks manship. The Greek held up a man. He says he did it because he was hun gry and could find no work. And now he is in jail, smoking in numerable cigarettes, . jesting with the prisoners and jailers and appear ing to take himself and the whole world as one huge joke. He looks as innocent as a babe and as harm less as a kitten. Twenty policemen- established camp for the night at a station on A jgaHMMltti
