Ths piece had its Initial offering In New Jersey and w.is brought to Weber's Musio Hall, simply to All a small gap in the bookings there, but Its success was so great it continued an uninterrupted run of seven months and played to ths biggest business in ths history of the house. Critics declared it was one of the few productions of its, sort ever made, that carried with it a high class plot and still contained a laugh in every line of ths dialogue.

Paul M. Potter, the author of the work, who was also re sponsible for "Trilby." and many other celebrated stage successes, received more royalties from "The Glrt't laBtens with Gabbert and Gabbut In a very season than was paid any other writer nleaaing acrobatic act. Mr. Gabbut be for his single work In such short epaci of time. The story of "The Girl" Is that of a young society woman of Bat Us Creek, Michigan, who waa interest ed In every charity there.

For recrea tion, however, she comes to New York, and through occasional visits to Rec tor's earns ths title. When she re turns to her home, suddenly she finds many of her metropolitan friends the.e and entanglements ensue which are not explained until Just before the fall of ths curtain on the last act.

The company Is larger than It was tne metropolitan run.

Julian Mitchell, the famous stage manager, selected the host of pretty girls personally and Victor Herbert's most tuneful airs, such as Floretta O'Fynn. tls In Spain, Beatrice Barefacts, I Can't Do That Sum Jane, Slumber Deep, Before and After, He Won't Be Happy Til He Gets It, the Moon Will Help You Out, Bo Peep, Song of the Poet, Toyland. and other equally as good popular songs are being whistled from end to end of the country. There are five comedians in the country com pany and the combination of Victor Herbert's music, witty lines, clever comedienne singer and pretty girls gowned In elaborate costumes Is a gusrantee of success.

Our theater goers have been talking of no other show for weeks, which, argues well for a crowded house when "The Royal Cher comes to this city. A musical attraction of exceptional merit and one that has mads a metropolitan reputation In all the leading theatres In this country Is "Ths Royal Chsf," which will be seen at the Landers next Monday evening.

Goes After Loan Agencies. Spokane, Not. 15. Salury loan agents, chattel mortgage houses and easy payment concerns charging more than 12 per cent interest, the legal rate In Washington, will bs prosecuted under the usuit law by Mayor Nelson 8. Pratt of Spokane, without the cost of a penny to the victims.

Ho gave out this statement In announcing the foregoing: "It every person In Spokane who is In the hands of salary loan sharks or the mortgage octopus will call at my office In the city hall, I will afford them the relief granted by the supreme court of the state Washington." This Is believed to be the beginning of a state wide fight on agenclea. backed largely by eastern capital. which have been established in Spokane and other cities and towns throughout the state during ths lost few years. Many complaints have been made In Spokane that the ttnerest charges are usurious; also that foreclosures have followed In numerous Instances. Managers of agencies loaning money to city employes hinted recently hnt they had worked out a plan whereby the lew enacted by the last legislature could be evaded.

The scheme Is that the assignment of wages, which the rmpWys Is rennlrflt" t'(m In blank. Is dated on the first of ths month for I the sa'ary of the preceding one and Is not filled until that date; thus, there Is no assignment of the pay to ha earned in the future, and ths employs can show a clean record. "I am prepared to fight these leechi to the last ditch," Mayor Pratt said. "We have a law in this stats to protect ths people from paying usurious rates of interest and I am ready anJ willing to use It In any and all cases brought to my stention."
