profitable of all the II assemblies and the even

have not another equal in all the land. There
are other Chautauquas, and other assemblies
but none of them can eclipse the original, the

The so-called legitimate has been drawing
heavily upon the vaudeville for its shining
stars of late, and it is but natural to suppose
that the stock should be exhausted. But the
supply seems equal to the demand. Where the
vaudevillists come from is not in it here suffice
1t to say they come and bring with them new
specialties to entertain, amuse and frequently
instruct. Shaffer and Blakely, whose names
head the combination at the Academy of

company with an an eye to diversity and refine

surprises for the old habitues of Manager Will

applause and encores. Singing, dancing, mu-

white, single and double team comedians,
slack wire and trapeze kept all in good
humor. One act-that OF Freddie, billed as
musical prodigy"-deserves notice. Freddie
is bright little fellow, a inguist with child's
musical voice and an adults musical feet. He

In an article designed to prove to the
workingmen that they have everything they

that 'ls States within two years have enacted
laws or made constitutional provisions against
trusts" This would be very gratifying II the
10 States had elected officers of the law who
would enforce the provisions against the trusts
instead of leaving them dead letter. In this
connection it is singular that the Tribune omits
to state what the Republican rulers of the

Gently required copyist to answer questions
concerning the Elizabethan dramatists and
which parts of New York were most thinly pop
ulated, has been squelched by Commissioner
Roosevelt's declaration: "We never asked any

supposed to be an invention of the spoilsmen
to bring civil service reform into contempt; but
even in that hypothesis it is somewhat surpris-
ing to learn that the spoilsmen ever heard of
the Elizabethan dramatists.

The Bjiou Theater.

One of the songs which Mr.. Charles A. Gard
ner sang at the Bijou Theater last night is
about bunch of lilacs. 1t is pretty little
song, with very small melody, and words to
match. THE song is the keynote of Father
land; IFS virtues are those of the play. In
word, Mr.. Gardner is a pleasant, goodlooking
actor, who follows closely in the footsteps OF
Fritz Emmett and sings simple, little
songs in a tenor voice, with large
reserve of falsetto and German accent. His
play, '.Fatherland," is about what Mr.. Emmett
has made US acquainted with as the back
ground of his singing and dancing. 1t has
precious little in it. but it is mildly entertaining
and often picturesque, as, for instance, when the
spinning bee is in progress.
Mr.. Gardner sings well. and he has mag
netic quality about him which had its effect
upon the oyerfowing audience at the Bijou
last night His songs were all received with
loud approval. Among his supporters several
good voices are to be found. and thus Father
land" musically is pretty strong. But Mr..
Gardner should not follow the example of
Fritz Emmett in one respect: little acting
never hurts play, even if it be as light and
iplotless as "Fatherland."

JUDGING from the vigorous manner in
which some of the metropolitan dramatic
critics are criticising the comic opera stars,
whose stock in trade is their anatomy. most of
the old favorites will have to lay aside their
light and airy costumes for toggery of the
bloomer pattern. The awful things said about
one or two burlesque favorites are enough to
make their limbs blush.

The announcement that the cutter Corwin

preparation of Baby Mckee joke.
