‘‘Tho Nabobs” is tho high sounding
and East Indian title of a new music
al farce extravaganza written tor those
two clever artists, John E. Henshaw
and May Ten Broeck. The meaning
of the word is “a person of great im
portance,” and is aptly applied to
Henshaw and Ten Broeck, for they
are of great importance, especially in
the amusement world. Tho vaude
ville stage has given some clever peo
ple to the so-called legitimate, but
none who are more widely known or
who have been credited with nroro ar
tistic work than these two artists.
This season they are surrounded by
equally clever people, forming of a
whole, an admirable company of com
edians, singers aud specialists, novel
ideas in brilliant costuming and spe
cial scenic surroundings. ‘‘It is bet
ter to laugh than be sighing,” se.ys an
old song, and the fun makers who
make us laugh tho heartiest and liap-.
piest are perhaps doing much good in
the world.

state might not ho without legal ad
vice at tho present important junc
ture, the governor telegraphed Hon.
Clifford Anderson to come at once to
the capital, aud he is expected to ar
rive here in tho morning.
Tho peoplo of Georgia will sympa
