To-night. ‘‘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.

Gordon have also been mentioned in this con nection by the legislators, but not like, the others, as certainly among tho governor’s appointees. Lesters’ Case Critical.
