"The Hastings Show." "A Frolicsome Frolic" Is the first part. The program credits the authorship to Tom Coyne. "A Summer's Night," held for the closing. la about equal with the first. The most novel idea in this portion is the burlesque circus, with its "strong men," "trapeze" performances, parades, clowns and other arena manifestations. One of the oddest numbers yet seen la tbe "Merry Widow" brigade, and by far the best-rendered number is the Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana," by Viola Sheldon and nine other good singer, Including a contralto. The "Baby" number proved one of the hits.
