The title page of "The Girl of My

Opera Co., is a unique example of designing
and printing in pyrographic effects. Both it
and the song have been greatly admired, and

has several "good things" in preparation

"Laughing
Water" will also be issued in vocal form,
and made a feature of a big Broadway
musical comedy, to be produced before the
holidays.
The fall and winter season at Proctor's
four theatres have opened with a veritable
"boom," and bids fair to continue in that
highly profitable manner for many months to
come. The audiences during the past few
weeks were the largest in point of number
ever assembled in these spacious houses,
while the enthusiasm that marked the rendi-
tion of the productions presented was simply
remarkable. The continuous vaudeville pre-
sented at the Twenty-third Street is of the
best available, and large business rules at all
times. The Proctor Stock Co. is the chief at-
traction at the Fifth Avenue, Fifty-eighth
and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street,
presentations of the best comedies being the
rule. Vaudeville is interlarded between acts,
and the combination of the drama with varie-
ty is still a decidedly popular form of amuse-
ment.

W. Stern & Co., mark up another high mark-
in their recognized record as the "House of
Hits."
HOW WE BOUGHT THE GREAT WEST.
An article on "How We Bought the Great
West," by the late Noah Brooks, in the No-
vember Scribner's, tells how we acquired the
vast region included in the Louisiana Pur-
chase, and of the interesting contemporary
political reasons that influenced President Jef-
ferson in undertaking so great a responsibility
without any support or apparent means of
meeting the great obligation involved.
The publishers announce that the "Congo
Love Song" will not be used by Amelia Som-

KLEIN'S CLEVER MUSIC.
E. H. Sothern's play, "The Proud
Prince," produced, in New York Monday
night, has achieved an artistic success, and$$
strange to say, every critic in reviewing the
drama has commented upon the beauty of the
incidental music. This is unusual, as one is
rather given to considering such music as a
matter of course. . The composer, Manuel
Klein, has depicted every phase of the dra-
ma's development with truth and beauty, and
some of its very best emotional moments owe
not a little to the skilful musical accompani-
ment which is effective and telling without
being obtrusive.
