Not only is the comedy of the ‘‘side-splitting” variety, but the chorus is—well it’s “some chorus”. That Norfolk boy, Leo Greenwood, who handles the principal comedy role, tried to outdo himself, and it must be said in all fairness to him that he’s “got the goods”. He takes the part of Dr. Van Winkle, a "Yid isher Doe”, and his every movement waa the signal for an outburst of laughter, Mr. Greenwood is well known here, and last night a gioup of his friends presented him with a floral horse shoe as a token of their esteem, | and In a little speech of presentation congratulated him upon his success in f the theatrical world. Mr. Greenwood; Is, as is generally said, the "whole show" and his work was liberally ap plauded, but the entire company Is by far superior to the general run. "Honeymoon Trail" is presented in two acts. The setting is appropriate and the plot immensely entertaining. Hie musical numbers are written to fit in with the play and everyone of them are good. Leo Greenwood and chorus, in “Kill That Bear"; Hazel Boyne and A 1 Raub and chorus, In "I Don't Went a Million Dollars”; and "Sail on, Silvery Meen", by Emma Ab bot, seemed to be most popular with those -In front. There are ten other musical numbers and all of them scored- The ‘Stair-Step” chorus Is Just about as nifty a bunch of girlies as you’ll find anywhere.

We see the wavering lines reform again and again and strive desperately to hold the surging line of grayelad sol diers, who savagely drive them back. We receive glimpses of the wounded, and see the overworked surgeons go ing hastily from one to the other. We see the nurses trying to eomfort and al leviate the pain and suffering of the maimed and the dying; we get close up studies of the generals and see their emotions. We are shown the sharp shooters tn the trees, and watch their satisfaction as they pick oft their vic tims. This wonderful picture will positively he shown at the Dreamland Wednesday April 2nd. We open at 10:89 a. m. and close at 11 p. m., an • would suggest that the ladies and children come as early a@ possible, to avoid the crowds at night.
