played here for years, and his numbers last
night were eXcellently given, the War Mem

English artist gave amusing character and
mimetic sketches, but the remainder Of the pro

piano solos by Miss Lizzie Higgins who played
with much taste and fine expression, her
brother, Mr.. Charles Higgins, young violinist
of unusual promise, and Miss Minnie Stevens,

Clarks, high kickers; the Salbns family of
jugglers and bicyclists; Goldie and St Clair, the
best combat dancers in the profession; Fred

the smart little bit of man" A funny sketch
