Frank Daniels in ‘‘The Girl in the 
Train.’’ 
Frank Daniels in the newest 
musical comedy success imported 
from Vienna, ‘‘The Girl in the 
Train,’’ will be seen at the Colonial 
beginning next Monday, March 27, 
under the management of Charles 
Dillmgham. ‘‘The Girl in the 
Train,’’ is now being played in 
most of the capitals of Europe, and 
has been the rage of musical centers 
for the past year. It was written by 
Leo Fall, the famous composer of 
‘“‘The Dollar Princess’’; and _ the 
entertaining book was written by 
Victor Leon, who gained fame as the 
author of ‘‘The Merry Widow.”’ 
The American adaptation has been 
made by Harry B. Smith. 
The story of ‘‘The Girl in the 
Train’’ relates to an adventure on 
a sleeping car. A young husband, 
leaving his wife behind after se- 
curing a sleeping car compartment, 
meets an actress on the train and 
gives up his compartment to her. A 
talkative sleeping car conductor 
draws wrong conclusions and reports 
the matter, so that the wife brings 
suit for divorce. This is brought 
out in the first act, showing the 
divorce court of Amsterdam, Hol- 
Almy, Bigelow & Washburn ' 
SALEM, MASS.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
land, with both ladies contending 
to establish the truth of their state- 
ments, and the funny judge (played 
by Daniels) endeavoring to concili- 
ate both. The first act is without 
doubt one of the funniest ever shown 
in musical comedy. The succeeding 
acts show a masquerade ball, and a 
village fete in a small seaport town 
of Holland, and the developments 
show the judge in love with both la- 
dies, and unable to decide whether to 
marry the ex-wife or the fair actress. 
Ultimately, husband and wife are 
reconciled, and the judge wins the 
actress. 
The cast is a strong one, with Mr. 
Daniels in the~stellar role of the 
Judge. Miss Sallie Fisher will ap- 
pear as the young wife,-and Miss 
Vera Michelena will be the fascinat- 
ing actress, ‘‘the girl in the train,”’ . 
who causes all the trouble. There 
are a dozen other principals, and a 
chorus of sixty. 
THE FISH SPOKE. 
Hearing a faint rustle in the dark 
hallway below, the elder sister, sup- 
posing the young man had gone, 
leaned over the balustrade and called 
out: “Well, Bessie, have you landed 
him ?”

There was a deep, sepulchral silence 
for some moments. It was broken by 
the hesitating, constrained voice of 
the young man: “She has.” ; 
“I’m so run down that I can give 
no more tick,’’ sighed the alarm 
clock.
