It's all very well to talk about

me having a cinch in that kissin

song," complained Arthur Dunn, the

diminutive comedian of "The Runa

ways," who causes a thrill of envy to

percolate through the masculine por

tion of the audience when he executes his A Kiss for Each day in the week

specialty, assisted by the six beauti

ful widows, the star show girls of the

opera.

"Kissing is all right and I don't

say a word against these widows, but

I think the public ought to understand that while it may look like a snapshot from the front I am earning

my salary by hard work.

"In the first place it takes all the

enjoyment out of a kiss to have a gill

fussing about her gown all the time

If I am to do that kissincr sons: 1

think those widows ought to discard

those $3,000 bunches of chiffon and

lace and wear something that will

stand for a little gentle embracing.

"The kiss may look good from down in front, but here's the line of

talk I get handed out to me every

time I try to kiss one of those wid

ows :

"Don't you dare tear this gown or

I'll have you settle the bill out of your own salary. "While another is pursing up her lips in a way to inspire every man in the audience to apply for the job of understudy, I am informed to keep my distance and not dare rub the make up off her face. "When I kiss another she gives me a sigh and murmurs "Thank goodness, that's over" and in spite of those cruel things I have to respond to an encore. "People who applaud may envy me and may think they know something about osculation, but they don't know the pangs of anguish in stage kissing. My song is supposed Jo be A Kiss for Each Day in the Week,

but I certainly have to work ocer-

tive. There are eight days in all of

my weeks.

"Figure it out for yourself six kisses to each chorus and five encor"8. There's thirty-six kisses. Seven performances a Aveek two hundred and fifty two kisses. At the end of forty

Aveeks ten thousand and eighty kisses, Avill be placed to my credit. "Dancing anyway, the inconvenience of kissing a pretty girl on a ladder or on stilts. Instead of getting sympathy from the Avidows though, when I try to balance myself on stilts and look pleadingly for a kiss, a girl murmurs sotto voice : "Lookout, you're going OA-er, don't you dare tare my dress. "I got six kisses while standing on my dear little golden ladder, but that isn't all that comes to me. While I'm singing Here's a Kiss for Monday and am trying ft imprint a kiss on the girls lips, she is trying to push the ladder away from that five hundred dollar bunch of feminine Arearing apparel. "Can you imagine where much pleasure comes in 'Here's a kiss for Wednesday when I think most of you,' Avhen you are bracing yourself so -that your A'oice won't do tremolo stunts with the ladder and at the same time are being encouraged by having a girl tell you that the chiffon

on her gown is caught on the ladder and she will ha-e you fined if you're not careful. "I suppose those widoAv's gowns are about the most expensive bunches of loveliness a press, agent eAer

it is considered that the old and decrepit look upon it with the esame wide-eyed amazement as the young and buoyant-, there must be something else to it than the flaming billboard and the-golden promise of the advertisements. What is the chief unit of its stregth and power of attraction, it would be hard to say. The man of affairs, impressed with the difficulties of his own business, would likely attach most interest to its astonishing mobility, with its thousands upon thousands of parts, folded and unfolded, Avith the sureness, precision and smoothness, that seem incredible and comparable only to some triumph

of mechanics. This feature of the circus few people consider seriously; jet the populaee must Avonder mightily where it all came from, and how it is managed.

It was well attended at the Gen-

nett last night.

"Candida" The remarkable vogue which Bern

ard Shaw's brilliant play "Candida"

obtained in New York las season pre-A-ented the appearance of Arnold Daly in any cities except Boston and San Francisco. His traveling will be

almost as limited this year as this city

will be one of only ten in which the Shaw comedies wil be presented by

Mr. Daly and his strong company.

"The Runaways." Enthusiastically praised by more

than three-quarters of a million of people who haA'e Avitnessed the magnificently-mounted production of Sam

S. Shubert's' musical extravaganza entitled "The Runaways," with Arthur Dunn in the stellar role, is an envia

ble record. The curtain first arose on this production at the Casino Theatre in NeAv York City a little more

than a year ago. It Avas a revelation

of extraAagance in scenery and cos

tumes, and enhanced by the glare of

lozens of calciums and new electrical

effects. "The Runaway" became the rage of the toAvn and played for more than seven months at one thea-

re to immense audiences. This sea

son "The Runaways " has taken on

tour and the date at the Gennett

heatre Avill be Monday evening, Ocober 3rd, when local theatre goers

Avill have their first opportunity to

Avitness the most laughable role before

the public today. The cast includes such Avell knoAvn names as Charles Dox, Clarence Harvey, Thos White-

bread, bread, Mm. Meehan, Misses

Ermine Earle, Blanche Wayne, Sallie Randall, the Althea sisters and the original Casino show girls.

"A Thoroughbred Tramp." In Denver, during the week . of

March 9, 1902, while "A Thorough

bred Tramp" was playing at the Den

ver theatre, after the orchestra pit, aisles, and eA-ery aA'ailable foot of space was filled with auditors, tho police were obliged to interfere and

top the further sale of tickets. A

gentleman from the mountain dis-

rict who did not understand the rend of affairs inquired at the box

office for a ticket. Upon being informed that the police had stopped

he further sale of tickets, he looked

wisely at the ticket seller and turned away. Crossing to the door-keener he tendered him a tAvo-dollar bill for

admission. Upon being refused he stooped OA'er and Avhispered to hi:n; "Just let me in, I Avon't squeal. ' He imagined the police interference had been actuated by an entirely different motive, and it took all of hf-

wrote about, but it's a shame to put teen mi.mte? to convince him other

them in a kssing song, especially Avhen they get kissed so tall you have ot use stilts and ladders. "Bring on the fellers who say I have a snap. Kisses are all right, but for mine let's cut out the glare of the footlights and a bunch of AvidoAvs who think more of those swell gowns than

they do of the opportunity of being

Avise. At the Gennett Tuesday, O ;rober 4th. Fogg's Terry. The new Fogg's Ferry, Avith Mattie Tickers in the stellar role- is a play Avorthy of the patronage of discriminating theatre goers for the reason that both play and players are not unknOAvn qualities, but both rank Avith the best. Minnie Madden (Fiske) attained ' her celebration through the medium of that beautiful

Miss Bob White. The unmistakable marks of inspira-

tion is apparent in uillara hpencer s play aviucii through successive years score of "Miss Bob White." It is. has held its hold upon popular favor entirely devoid of that studied strain and Avhich in its new dress of scenery that prevades the conventional eom- etc., Avith an able presenting composer's Avorks as exemplified in tke pany will give still further honors at modern, so called 'up to date' musical the hands of Richmond theatre goers, comedies.

so pure in eA-ery detail that it immediately recommends itself to everyone AA-ho appreciates the best in theatrical. It goes Avithout saying that "Miss

Eva Tanguay's Paris Gowns.

In connection Avitli the announcement of the coming of Miss Eva Tanguay in her big musical comedy

Bob White" Avill appeal to local thea-success, "The Sambo Girl" at the tre goers to the very last man. The fJennett Theatre, next Friday eening engagement here takes place soon at' and one that Avill no doubt be found

interesting to the fair sex, is the fact that the little comedienne Avill Avear some particularlv fetching cos-

the- Gennett. England-Hook.

That the England-Hook Indoor cir- tumes designed by herself and made cus is one of the most popular insti- in Paris during a Aisit paid the tutions there is no gainsaying. When French metropolis the past summer.

Miss Tanguay's first entrance in "The Sambo Girl," is made in an automobile suit Avhich consists of a skirt and long automobile coat of tan leather, Avith shoes and hat to match; from this she changes to a beautiful affair made of light blue Brussels net over chiffon and most elaborately trimmed Avith white lace. A picture hat will be Avorn AAith this dress Avhich is unlike any design yet shown in America. A pink chiffon trimmed with Irish lace follows this. The Tanguay third costume will be made in a Avhite net "gown spangled in odd designs of many colors, while an enormous green bottle fly Avill form the head-dress and complete a costume that, to say the least, is most unique. Perhaps the most stunning of all Miss Tanguav's stage costumes how

ever, is a severely princess of panne velvet in the new burnt orange sha4e, shoes, hat and sunshade will match this gown, making a beautiful effect. Next comes a magnificent low-nick dress of Avhite lace. In the second act of "The Sambo Girl," Miss Tanguay has a march song in Avhich she will appear in tights, the costume itself being of Avhite broadcloth, with trimming? of gold braid and sable fox. A quaint idea, and entirely; origlaal with Miss Tanguay, is a dress made exelusiAelA; of red velvet ribbon. One of the Frenehiest creations is a light blue satin chiffon, very tight as to Avaist and decidedly diminutive as to skirt. It is in this costume that Miss Tanguay will render her famous song entitled, "A Banja Serenade."
