his native Italian with wealth of florid
coloring play hoydenish gum-chew-
ing American schoolgirl to the life, and
initiate French opera bouffe struggling
with an English pastoral ditty with in
imitable skill. The skit in which Miss
Jarbeau and the company of very clever
people she has got together which ap-
pear at the Vogt Grand, Monday next is
simply vehicle for the introduction of
the specialties of the star and her sup
port. There is no pretense of plot to

character indicated above and dances of
almost every nation and period, from
the stately gavotte to the breakdown of
the plantation, or the lively Jig of the
mirth-loving Irishman. There is snap

are at full tension while the curtain is
up. -
