"The Only Girl," the musical com- edy success by Victor Herbert and Henry Blossom, which qualified as a fine example of musical comedy when given here last year, will be seen in a return engagement on Saturday, Dec. 9. The success of "The Only Girl" also proves that Victor Herbert is the most versatile of American light opera com- posers. The character of his musical genius is also more than ever evi- denced in this work, there being in every number a striking originality in melody and treatment. Like his associate, Henry Blossom has also put some of his best work into "The Only Girl," with the result that the combination of Herbert's melody and Blossom's delightful story com- pletes a rare treat in a musical com- edy. AT THE MAJESTIC. In a varied bill beginning Monday night, "The Letter from Home," played by Thomas P. Jackson and company, promises to be the headliner. The story depicts in absolute fidelity an in- cident in the life of a young man. It is a homely offering and its moral is excellent. Kate Watson is known as the "Hoos- ier Girl" and her make-up reminds one of Sis Hopkins. She has a large as- sortment of droll remarks and some squeaky songs. Her monologue ma- terial is good and she has a decidedly original manner of telling her stories. A lively, melange of comedy stunts intermingled with harmony singing se- lections constitutes the act of the Mimic Four. Two men and two women take part in this entertainment, which TWO DAYS UNTIL IICHIGANENSIAN SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN.

As a special attraction, interesting and instructive to the kiddies, Merian's Swiss canine actors will be on the bill. They introduce a comedy play, "The Territorials Quartered." These dogs do everything but talk. "The Prince of Graustark" will be the attraction today at 1:30, 3, 7, and 8:30 o'clock. Bryant Washburn and Marguerite Clayton will play the lead- ing roles. "The Prince of Graustark" deals with the activities of Prince Rob- in, son of the characters in the original "Graustark." The son of an Ameri- can father, the burdens of his country rest lightly upon his shoulders and u hen his nation needs a huge loan he comes to America and floats it without difficulty. Incidentally, he wins a bride, but only after a series of romantic events. AT THE ARCADE.

Uniformity is not important, lie declared, but speech should be sin- cere and show culture. "The beautiful dialect of the south- erner does not need to be defended," said Professor Scott. "New England, formerly supposed to govern in the choice of dialect, no longer holds that honor. I have noticed that the most cultivated New Englander, when he warms up, pronounces his 'r' just as aistinetly as his 'p' and q.' "We must cultivate the poised, in- telligent, sincere personality and the voice which will fitly express that personality."
