"The Touristii." the offering of Sam
S. and l.ee Sintbert at tin- Academy,
id Music last night. Is- one of th,. most1
enjoyable musical comedies seep hero
in several seasons. The book, for
which ft. II. Burnsldo Is responsible,
contains many bright and willy lines
and a number of tuneful ami catchy
songs uro to bo found In the score.
To vay thnt tho production pleased
Hie fair sized audience that was gath?
ered In I he playhouse would be put?
ting It rather mildly. Nearly all of
the musical numbers were vigorously
applauded and hearty laughter greeted
the funny lines ami situations.
Most of the comedy work fell to tho
pari of Eddie Qarvlo, ami ho handled
It iii a capable and comical style.
Mr. Garvio was supported by a can?
aille ami well balanced dorps or prin?
cipals. Miss Leonora Watson who has
the principal female, role the Princess
Chnlulu, has a sweet and pure sopra?
no voice of considerable strength, and
she was forced to resound lo many ell
cores. Miss Louise Barthel also has
a good soprano voice and she shared
honors with Miss Watson.
The chorus- was an exceptionally
strong mid well drilled one, most of
tin- girls being pretty and shapely.
The production was handsomely
staged, Hie settings lor the two nets
of the piece being exceptionally pret?
ty. Tho costumes were in keeping
with the general excellence or the pro
diction.

"Peggy F.otn Paris " George Ado's
musical piny, will be the attraction
at the Academy of Music tomorrow,
Friday night, with Miss Helen Byron
us Peggy.
The very mention of Mr. Ado's name
as the author is proof of tho laugh
tor ci eating clement of Hie piece.
Tin re are d oil characters and funny
com pi lent ion a from first to last, in
deed. "Peggy From Pails" Is a mirth
maker. All the persons in the play
and everything they say and do Is
amusing. Then there Is the music,
which was written by William Lo
radio.
Take a succession of pretty airs
and havo tllhni sung !?? a score of
pretty girls in strikingly pIctiirosQUO
costumes and there Is something
Worth listening to and seeing. Add to

in a musical play.
