by "Ragtime Reilly" it is heard at its best.
Having a very magnetic personality, a fine bari-
tone voice and good stage presence, together
with the ability to select songs which the public
likes to hear, Mr. Reilly is sure of always being
one of the most popular entertainers on any
program.

New Dillingham Show With Fred Stone Ac-
corded Wonderful Reception on Broadway—
Ivan Caryll's Delightful Music a Feature
Seldom has a new production on Broadway
been accorded such an enthusiastic reception
as was granted to Chas. Dillingham's new mu-
sical comedy, "Jack o' Lantern," with Fred
Stone in the leading role, and which was pre-
sented at the Globe Theatre for the first time
on Tuesday night.
The book and lyrics of the new piece are by
Anne Caldwell and R. H. Burnside, and the
music is by Ivan Caryll, who has already been
responsible for the music of many successes.
The show is an up-to-the-minute comedy, clean
and wholesome, and is staged and costumed
throughout in excellent taste.
Mr. Stone, of course, depends upon his nimble
legs to produce most of his comedy. He dances
all kinds of dances with about everybody in the
company and then for variety dances by him-
self, but through it all he displays a brand of
humor that won his place on Broadway years
ago. He also shows some lively skating steps
in the Ice Carnival that is a feature of the show. :

"Where Do We Go From Here?" is one of the voice, while not strong, is very sweet, and she
is an exceptionally graceful dancer. Her num-

done.
Mr. Stevenson, who made "Good-bye
Girls, I'm Through" popular, has a good song
in "Along Came A'riother Little Girl." Miss
Falconer sings the hit of the piece, "Wait Till
the Cows Come Home," and also another pop-

THEMATIC CATALOG FOR TEACHERS
OUR
SONG WRITER COMPLAINS IN VERSE
Many ambitious song writers submit their ma-
terial to publishers and almost as many have the
material returned or ignored. It is estimated
that there is only one man in every thousand
who has not at some time or other tried his
hand at song writing, which explains in part.
why so many start in the game but so few fin-
ish. Recently a New York publisher received
the following bit of verse from an ambitious
song writer. The verse seems to explain, in
part, why the song itself still awaits publication:
Dear Mr.
-: I thought I'd drop
A line to ascertain
If, for one of my lyric-crop
You'd pay my price of bane?
Just twenty-five is all I ask,
To get some needed things
Before in hell ray high hopes bask
On singed, Icarian wings.
All roads to Rome, 'tis said, do lead,
(But Rome's road is not mine)
And Fate has taught that few, indeed,
Run white to Llasa's shrine;
There is but one (and that not sure)
But the good Buddha saith:
"(>m mane padme, hum! endure,
Ye who are of the Faith."
And, so, across bleak, ice-chained mount,
And parching desert drear,
I fare to seek the healing fount,
Tho' Llasa draws not near;
Om mane padme, hum! I turn
The wheel (for life's but lust)
Yet, on the altar Hope's firea burn—
Tho' dreams do turn to dust.
