wick" opened at the Herald Square Theatre
on Monday night, and from all accounts is
a musical and artistic success, and on Tues-
day night "The Wizard of Oz" opened in
the new theatre, the Majestic.
What the "Darling of the Gods" is as
a scenic production in the legitimate, so is
"The Wizard of Oz" among musical come-
dies.
Julian Mitchell has given us a wonderful
production and to him let there he all credit.
"The Wizard of Oz" is a musical extrav-
aganza by L. Frank Baum, Paul Tietjens
and A. Baldwin Sloane. It is a good old-
fashioned show on the Henderson order; the
music is distinctly good and there isn't any
book, so to speak.
The company, headed by Anna Laughlin
and Montgomery and Stone, is good.
The comedians are funny and the chorus
tuneful. Taken altogether, "The Wizard of
Oz'' is a high-class vaudeville entertainment
which is likely to be very popular and enjoy
a lengthy run.
We must say a few words about the new
theatre, and a quick and short verdict is that
Messrs. Stair and Wilbur have given us
the best theatre in New York. Artistically
decorated, comfortable and large, it is a per-
fect treat to sit through any kind of a per-
formance.
STILL PENDING.
Up to going to press we are unable to
ascertain whether the deal between A. H.
Goetting and the Enterprise Music Supply
Co., by which the Springfield firm was to
buy out the New York company to the tune
of $100,000, had gone through. We learned
on very good authority that the papers were
signed a week ago Friday night, but we
were unable to get this corroborated.
We do know, however, that A.. H. Goet-
ting has taken over the business, of the
Weber Publishing Co., of Providence, R. I.,
and also that the Springfield firm is about
to open up music departments in Sheppard's
store in Providence, and in Houghton &
Dutton's in Boston, Mass.
When Mr. Goetting gets control of the
Enterprise Co., which he undoubtedly will,
it will look exceedingly like a music trust
in the East.
Harry and Sadie Fields, the clever team
who are playing the comedy roles in "The
Road to Ruin" company this season, are
meeting with big success singing "Mister
Dooley," "Susie Anna," "Those Tantalizing
Eyes," "Just Kiss Yourself Good-bye" and
"When the Stars are Shining Bright," "The
Gambling Man," and the season's greatest
ballad hit, "I'll Wed You in the Golden
Summer Time." All the above are from the
catalogue of Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.
