AT THE LA SALLE THEATRE.

“His Highness the Bey,” (it the LaSalle Theatre, Chicago, has undergone a revision during the past week until now it is thoroughly novel and the best offering this theatre has ever put forth. Since Joseph E. Howard, the composer, has assumed the stage management, some of the unnecessary dialogue has been replaced with something better, songs that were not unqualified hits have been withdrawn and new ones introduced, and now, “His Highness the Bey” can boast of an even half dozen musical numbers, any one of which is enough to carry almost any half way meritorious musical comedy. “It Makes All The Difference In The World” by A 1 Shean is one of the new ones that is pleasing nightly, while “My Gipsy Maid,” with George Mac Kay and the “broilers,” made a sensational hit Thursday evening, taking nine encores, when it was put on for the first time. Another new one to be put in Sunday night is “The Caliph I,” by Mr. James C. Marlowe. One other feature, lending brilliancy to the cast, is the addition of Miss Zelina Rawlston, the well known vaudeville actress, who plays the part of Dottie Dimple. As it now is “His Highness, the Bey,” without question of doubt, stands as one of the best musical productious Chicago has ever seen.
