As was to be expected q good house
greeted tffS appearance of George Wilson s
MINISTRIES. The entire programme, which
was long one, is rcplete with good things.
Space VIII not permit of individual particu-
larization. George Wilson, as usual, sus-
tanned his reputation as burnt cork come
dian. Another feature was the clog dancing
in costumes of the First Empire, in
Producing William Rowe in pedes-
tai clogs. The musical numbers
were good, especially the number, ''Aiemor-
les Of the Past by VIII e. Nankiville. A
little more courtesy toward the public on
the part of the management would have 4
beneficial tendency on the occasion Of sub
Sequent visits.
GUS WILLIAMs-I5 is a well-known fact
that there is no comedian on the stage to-
day who is more legitimatey amusing or
more popular than genial Gus Williams,
who comes here Friday and Saturday, and
who will also be seen at the Saturday matt
nee, October 30 and 81 The Pittsburg
Press says: '..Kepplers Fortunes is all
that IL is advertised to be- splendid sue
cess. The crowds that filed the Bijou last
night laughed from the time the curtain
was raised until they reached the sidewalk
after the performance. Gus Williams, slim
ulated, perhaps, by the heavy reception
awarded him, never made a bigger hit.
The role he took seemed so perfectly

character been before the audience,
it would be difficult to tell the
actor from the individual he portrayed.
Good German comedy is refreshing to hear.
II is seldom that 1t Is presented There are
plenty of Irish comedians on the road and
not few good ones. On original German
dialect comedian such rs Gus Williams is
cannot be found every day. His brogue, his
little peculiarities and his uniquely original
wit cOnduce to make Gus Williams what he
is one of The greatest German comedians on
the stage to-day. The play is not of the
boisterous order 1t is not overdrawn, and
people laugh at the pure humor which it
contains. it is not a farce comedy, and
there is enough of pathos in it to make the
comedy all the more laughaOle.'
kAsANKA-Miller Bros. magnificent pan
tomime spectacle will be presented in this
city Wednesday and Thursday of next
week with a special matinee on Thursday
for ladies' and children. The following no.
tice is from the New Orleans Picayune of
October 10:
'.Kaianka'' is pantomime spectacle.
There is nothing new or startling about the
show, but it is 4 pleasing performance,
nevertheless. There are two acts of panto-
mime. one act of specially, with some
pretty scenery running through the play
like the refrain of a song.
Tire scenery is not fresh from
the painters brush, but the work OF the ar
fists lives after the gloss of newness and
some of the pictures are delight. The
flower bower in the last act is especially
beautiful and leaves the eye on good terms
with the entertainment. The burden of
the pantomime is borne by Ravei. q robust
and graceful clown, whose face and feet
act well all the time, while Frank Gillette
makes the acrohatic devil in the ''silence
and fun duet. They are assisted
by great deal of trick scenery,
some of which long ago earned its right to
popularity, while several new tricks stand
out prominently and enjoyably. The spe-
cialty features are all good. The good and
the bad fairy both sing, and all the gym
nasts and dancers try to sing. The Mari
posa skirt dancers are clever kickers and
their twinkling feet make merry under the
flying drapery of their spreading skirts.
The Marlanis are exceptionally good aero
bats. Mile BertOtto is billed as the
Transformation dancer" She is evil
IDENTIFY young and certainly a genius. Be-
sides all the skill of the premiere danSeuse,
she IS a good deal of an actress, and is one
of the features of the company. Alto
gcther "Kajanka'' affords over two hours
of amusement better than the average, and
will draw crowds during the week. Last
night there was standing room only and
little Of that.
