WHAT THEY SAY.
Sometime, somewhere we have
heard it said that the famous song
birds of the stage use bird seed for
breakfast food, now it wouid be in
teresting to know the special brand !
used bv the "Mikado” company.
Without wishing to boost him in j
friends aver that he would have j
the least, Walter Janggen’s many
made a great success in grand opera, j
if only his talents had been directed
that way.
They say that T. J. Pennell has as !
much artistic temperament as Car
uso, also he can sing too.
The excellence with which Theo
dore Brown sings Japanese love songs
leads one to believe that he is fond
of rice, either as a food or powder j
anyway he says Yum Yum a lot.
Friends of his swear that Lawrence j
Erickson can sing as well by day
light as he can in the dark. Yes, in
deed lie's some' ball player.
It is said that Osborne Williams. !
when a boy used to have frequent!
interviews with Father in the wood
shed, which helped in developing the I
world r.'ul range and pov-eful sing
ing tone of voice he now commands
They say that Gordon R. Shuck j
used to cry a lot when he was a \
youngster for fear he'd be bow lev
ged, but his worst trouble now is
that he sings in his sleep, he also j
sang in the Mikado.
Jack Rounsefell thinks he’ll be
come an actor, he says that it does
not excite him a bit to have the au
dience applaud him.
Street Commissioner Brindle looks
fine when all dolled up, but says he i
feels worst.
Ralph Bartholemew was the chief
mumblepeg player of tli^e Mikado
company. Oh, yes.
Important Query.
N'ot that he cares in the least, but
His Honor Mayor Henneghan w-ants
to know who put the "Mik" in Mika- |
do.
