Me s meeting “Father and the Boys.” You'll find the opportu:| at the Empire Theatre, where William H. Crane is having the lark of his life in by far the best play George Ade has written since “The College Widow.” time Mr. Ade turned the tables, and it is ‘the old man’ who gets the Detter of “the young folks,” instead of tlother way round i's all very good fun, In fact, it is the best fum In town. It is as funny as an Ade fable, The author had no oceaston to sail away and get his criticisms by wire! All the onions in Bermuda could not bring tears to his eyes over the fate of “Father | for it is settled for a long run, You can’t keep a good laugh | end the Boys” down. Hl There is no blow that almost kills “father,” though Mr. Crane yields for a | moment to comediana and makes a small bid for sympathy when “the boys’ leave him alone in the office, one answering the, coliege cry of football, the other tagging after an “important matron.” Lemuel | Morewood has taken his two sons into his wool brokerage business, but they | are not working partners. Work doesn’t interest them. One puts on the gloves | mith “Tuck” Bartholomew, the other puts on society airs and {s ready to serve tea to all comers. They are terribly bored when father announces that he has | at last succeeded in forming a nice new trust for them. When a breezy young woman comes in to see the aoclety youth ‘on business," the humble parent say “That's his desk. Go over there and make yourself a cup of toa But Bessie Brayton hasn't come for tea. She is a ‘coon singer,” and she wants to get Into society for $0 a night. Gho explains that she does “stunts, nd adds that she {s from N ala, “Why did you come to New York?” he inqutres. “If you had seen the other place yov wouldn't ask," {s her answer. ‘The next evening, when the boys give a dinner party at the house, and father sneaks out of the back door to get something to eat at a restaurant, Bessie is there to “oblige.” The old man finally gets tired of being told he is seven miles ‘behind the procession, and that his sons will not be interested in him unless he gets interested in what they are doing, and going upstairs he arrays himself in all the glory of a “dress sult.” Then he comes down and plays roulette with such recklessness that the boys drop out. Besse, whose “father wrote the game, and gave her a blve chip every time she went to Sunday School," stands by and tells him how to pinay. He breaks the “bank,” kept by a man-about-town who has been breaking the boys right along, and then takes Bessie out to a gtided restaurant to “blow” his winnings, she easuring him that this ts the proper course lo pursue. Ho drops his milk diet and Mr. Ade's so-called comedy falls head over heels into farce. The fun keeps up, but {t runs a trifle lame at @ race course where the boys seo father as a full-fledged “sport.” The winner in this act is Mr. Dan Collyas, who acts as the oh! man’s betting commissioner with an enthusiasm that knows no Mmit, If Miss Lillian Russell ever sees Mr, Colyer in this scene ahe will probably engage him as her leading man at any salary he may be pleased to name. Your heart goes out to “Tuck” when the oki man turns a deaf ear to ‘a good thing” and runs off to Nevada with Bessie to save her gold mine from the wicked man-about-town, who ts trying a new game. This may sound shocking the Empire, but it's purely platonic, rest assured, and Bessie is delivered safe fate the arme of em old-time tover whom she hal mourned as married to s squaw to the temptation common 3 fm Alaska. ‘The bays come after father and agree to marry and settle down to business Af be will give up Gls wild fe That's the Crane of tt You see it all, but the doys Father has done everything for them--but while he was at It he might have sent them to a school of acting. Surprising as it may seem, Miss Margaret Dale displays a breeay sense of Bessie, and gives a clever performance. But it is hard work for her ‘Western accent from taking sudden trips to the Fast. Crane is better than ever. He has broken many of his former bad habits. 10 tonger smacks his Hps over what he has to say, and for once he lets you i Was a i Pony Express !

The job was worth $125 ® month and meant ceascless dan- wer, ‘The pony express service was started by my old employers, Russell, Majors | & Waddell carly in 1869. It had taken stage coaches three weeks or more to go from the Missouri River to Sacr mento, By means of relay stations my employsrs made tt possible for mails, telegrams, &c,, to be carried that dis- tance on the backs of swift ponies in from eight to ten days. The route chosen is now travermed by the Union Pacific tracks. But in those days much ef 't was almost trackless wilderness, warming with Indians and highway- men, In 1681 the pony express ser- vice was killed by the telegraph. But for @ year or so it flourished mightily. At the start the mall pack would be thrown over @ pony’s saddle, The rider would mount and nde at top speed to the first relay station.
