Usually when a musical comedy has
one or two good musical numbers
everybody is satisfied. "The Girl From
Minimis. ' which comes to tlic Ov. r
holser has sixteen real hits, six of
them—•'There's a Reason," "On the
Road to Philadelphia," "Teach Me,"
"Captivating; Cleo," "Homesick," "The
Girl From Mumms and Mine" are hav-
ing a race for popularity and from
present Indications It is going to he
impossible to pick th© winner. Each
one of these numbers is the kind
which create successes.
The music is by F. A. Rohnhorat,
and shows the refreshing originality
with a whist ley tunefulness which has
made "The Girl From Mumms" a sure
fire success. Combined with this Is
the book by J. A. Lacy, a book without
u dull split, • book 4Hth ;i I' iil plot
and with such sparkling comedy that
every member of the company takes
as much pleasure in each performance
as does the audience.
Mill Olive Vail. Amrloi'i fivorite
comedienne, whose previous visits to
this city have left such an excellent
impression that no further praise is
necessary, heads the perfect cast —
comprising such prominent artists as
J I. Oliver, Geo. Chesborough, John E.
Frank, Frank Bertrand, Miss Nelie
Watte rs, Miss Devona Mae. Miss
Marjie Dow and Miss IJazel Regan.
The chorus has already been named
"The Olive Vail Beauty Chorum."
Naturally, with such a production
it requires a gorgeous setting and cos-
tuming. and in this respect Messrs.
Sheehan and Beck have outdone them
selves; the gowns including those
worn by the chorus are each and all
original creations, having been de-
signed and created by Madame Mc-
Gregor Hull; each gown being made
and fitted for the individual girl who
wears it.
It is safe to say that there will
be nothing heard this season which
will afford more genuine pleasure
than "The Girl From Mumms."
AT THE MET.
You will miss one of the best
things of the theatrical season if you
let slip the oportunity to see the North
Bros.' Stock Co. at the Met this week
in a splendid scenic production of
one of the latest stock releases, "The
Poor Kiclf." Nothing since the produc-
tion of Paid in Full and Th* ThlM
Degree have equalled this play in the
measure of public approval it has re-
ceived. A great story of red-blooded
American life. For the last half of
the coming week "Children of the
Ghetto," a romance of the east side
of New York is announced. This play
will afford Mr. Bert L. Russell, the
character actor and director of North
Bros, an opportunity to display his
talents to marked advantage. The
next week promises two of the best
plays of the entire engagement.
Athletes Are Wrought Up Over Method
of Dividing Out Class Letters,
Claiming Discrimination.
i The awarding of letters to the Holy
! Cross athletes brings to light a queer
situation. Of 60 men w ho reported and
{ slaved through the season, 20 were
given letters, which Is a greater num-
ber than la usual at the institution,
but the puzzle comes in the naming of
the games in which the men must play
• to get the coveted letters.
Holy Cross played Princeton, Yale,
Harvard and several smaller elevens,
but In naming the games where play-
ing counted in getting letters, both
Princeton and Yale games were left
off, and Fordham, Worcester Tech and
Georgetown were named, says a Bos-
ton dispatch to the Detroit Free Press.
Why the Tiger and Eli games were
not rated as high enough to warrant
the issuing of letters is hard to un
demand.
They certainly were bigger games
than that with Worcester Tech, which
Holy Cross won by an overwhelming
score of 72 to 0 for Holy Cross. An*
other unique turn of affairs at Holy
Cross kept Captain Metivur from win*
ning his letter. He was injured at the
time of three of the four "big" games—
Fordham, Worcester Tech and Georgo
town—but played in the Yale, Har
vard and Princeton games. In other
words, he played in the real games
and did not get his letter, while sub-
stitutes played in the easy games and
received their letters.
WHERE CHAMPIONS ARE MADE
Sidney Marvin, Wealthy Resident of
San Francisco, Developed Mc-
Loughlin, Johnston and Others.
Developing tennis champions is the
favorite pastime of Sidney R. Marvin
of this city, a man of wealth who de-
votes his spare time to the promotion
of Juvenile athletics. His success is
measured by the progress of Maurice
E. McLoughlln, United States cham
pion; William M. Johnson, dinner of
the Ixmgwood cup at Boston, and John
Strachan, winner of the national clay
court championship at Omaha. This
trio was graduated from the club
which Marvin founded ten years ago
and his directed since.
It was Marvin's Idea that if through
constant tournament play, great ac-
curacy could be obtained with the
speed developed on the asphalt court?

Rubber From Lettuce.
Two species of wild lettuce, lac-
tuca canadensis and L. scariola, both
common in the northern United States,
have been shown to contain rubber,
the former to the extent of 2.19 and
the latter 1.58 per cent., of a good
quality. As the plants also contain
lactucarium, which is a recognized
drug, it is suggested that they might
be protitably exploited for both these
products.

Foolish Jealousy.
The jealous man throws a thousand
stumbling blocks in his own road.;
He often lives in constant fear of the
tripping he has prepared the way for.
No philosophy will so surely build him
a smoother way as that based on the
sensible conclusion that he could not
be the other man and that what he
has reason to hope for will be as
gratifying as anything another man
can get.

Millions for Defense.
A negro had heard of Charles C.
Pinkney's famous words, "Millions for
defense but not one cent for tribute."
Some time later he was crossing a
field on foot and an angry bull chased
him. He made a tremendous effort
to get to the fence first and this is
what he said: "Willions for de fence,
but not one cent for de brute."
"To cure warts," says a Chicago
doctor, "burn them out with a red hot
pin." Another method is to put in a
charge of dynamite.

William M. Johnston of California.
of California, a series of champions
would bo produced. At the outset he
engaged a veteran professional to in-
struct his young charges, and monthly
tournaments for high class trophies
have stimulated interest in the game.
"Mr. Marvin's boys," as they are
known on the Pacific coast, develop
championship caliber early. McLough-
lln was only eighteen when he first
was sent to Australia as a member of
the United States team of challengers
for the Davis International trophy.
Johnston, who eliminated such players
; Touchard and Clothier at Longwood
i on his invasion of the east and his
first lmporant competition on grass
i courts, celebrated his eigtheenth birth-
day only recently. Strachan, the new
clay court champion, is the same age.

Fighters Sail for Australia.
Ray Hron8on, Eddie McGoorty and
young Saylor have departed for Aus-
tralia to light the rising stars of that
island. It is a recognized fact that
fighters take on weight very fast in
the Antipodes, so it will not be re-
markable if these fighters come back
as heavyweights. The most striking
example of this occurred to Cyclone
Johnny Thompson. A lightweight on
leaving, but after staying away for
two years, came back to the United
States and fought Bob Moha, Papke
and other light heavyweights.
