BOOKINGS AT THE GRAND. At an Early Date "Veronique." "The Ginqerbread Man." It is only fair that the sterner sex should be uiveir a chance, no matter what the particular business in hand. As a rule, for years past the domain of musical corned v. or at least a large section of it, has been given over to the "girl." From A to Z the dictionary has been ransacked to find adjectives qualifying the "girl in some of her numerous in carnations. Xow comes the change. A new work of this school is to he pre sented at the Illinois theater on Sat urday. Dee. S, that bears the curious and. from the comedy standpoint, not unpromising name of "The (lingcr bread Man." It is the work of Fred erick Ranken and A. Raldwin Sloane, both with much standing to their credit in the annals or light and pleasant en tertainment. In ihe story the work is said to hold much better together than the majority of its class, although deal ing altogether with the realm and crea tures of imagination. Kris Kringle is prominent in the proceedings, as are Little Jack Horner, Margery Daw, Sim ple Simon, and other interesting individual:-, that step out of the story book into lli'sh and being. Particular stress is laid udoii the elegance of the scenic ffect and the costumes. One incident. of which much is exp cted. is where Kris Kringle, in his proverbial cos- tunic, with silver reins and a golden sleigh, drives a team of pretty reindeer girls of the chorus. Another scene in cident, claimed to be specially novel, is a fire-spouting dragon that Keeps itself busy helping out the conspiring elements in the story. Of the princi pals, mention may be made of Ger trude Zimnifr. Mae Phelps, Nellie Lynch. Marie Harry, Helen Miilert Ho mer Lind. Ross Snow, Ren CJarnell, Eddie Redway, W. II. Mack, and Will Dunlay. Widow Brown for Friday. "The Real Widow Rrown" holds a reception at the Illinois theater Friday, Dec. 7, under the watchful eye of A. Q. Scammon. This lady is a real personage and about her hinges some of the most amusing complications ever introduced into iaice company. Iler attendant merry makers comprise some of the cleverest comedians an-i comediennes on the stage. She is a devout admirer of bright, up-to-date songs and captivat ing dances, and the play abounds with them. She is also a stickler for fash ion, and the costumes are chic and rare. The play was built for laugh ter, so do not be misled, for ir you are really of a serious turn of mind, don't go. Wait until Mr. So and So comes along with Jus grand aggregation of legitimate artists in "Othello," etc. "The Flower Girl." At the Ktnde- bakcr "The Flower Girl" enters upon the second week of its engagement af ter having played to crowded houses every night since the opening a week ago. The play has proven just 'the sort of program best liked by Stude baker audiences and a more success ful musical comedy has not visited Chicago for a long time. Dramatic critics in that city have been. enthusi asticc and sincere in their praise. Lou ise dunning was hailed as "the Fritzi Scheff of America" by the Record Her ald, as "one of the best singers" by the Tribune, as as "one who could charm the very birds from the trees." Not for years has a sincer made a more instantaneous bound "into favoritism than did Miss Gunning on the opening night. "The Flower Girl" music has captivated all Chicago with its beauty and charm. Equal in quality to that of the old time favorites. "The Mika do" and "Iolanthe," this latest music of Andre Messager has been character ized as the most beautiful heard in Chicago for years. Sharing the hon ors equally with Mis3 Gnnninz. is' Lois Harrison, the "most legitimately! funny fellow- on the stage today,"; whose witty sayings and droll humor i keep every audience In a continual chuckle, broken only by bursts of laughter. The chorus is excellent and Now Storm 3orsP I Lrred P aper the settings of the three. acts could not be imagined more beautiful. There are jokes, songs alid choruses, but these three ingredients of musical com edy as incorporated in "The Flower Girl" are so far above the standard of like pieces usually seen, that the great crowds which have seen the latest Shu bert offering have raved over the ef fect. No song in the history of comic opera, has aroused such favorable com ment as Miss Gunning's solo. "Rirds of Spring." In view of great popu larity of "The Flower Girl." it looks as though the Studebakrr would have to extend the engagement.
