WHERE THEY ARE.
Theatrical Performers Who Have
Appeared in the Alamo City.

hlSS tIOld OdI DSIu, WIN was
last seen in San Antonio in the
Grand opera house in starlight"
is confined to her room in the Hofr-
man House, New York City, as the
result of an accident which befell
her recently. While attempting
to reach high shelf in her room,
the chair on which she stood, slipp-
ed and she fell, striking her side
against the back of the chair.
She has suffered severely and her
physician says she must remain
quiet for some time. Miss Jarbeau
was about to leave for the country
to spend her vacation, but her de
parture has now been postponed
Indefinitely.
Lew Dockstader, the we'll known
burnt-cOrk artist, who was seen in
San Antonio with Primrose q
Vests MINISTRIES three years ago,
on the opposite end to George
Primrose, is at present filling an
engagement at Proctor's theatre,
New York City and from all re-
ports is warmly received and never
fails to keep the audience in good
humor.
A troupe of Hindoo jugglers will
be feature at the Worlds Fair.
They are now appearing in vari-
Gus cities EN- route to Chicago.
They appear in their native cos
tunes and go through all the in
carnations of which one has read
in descriptions of the kind. Many
of their tricks are familiar to those
performed by tragicians or other
countries, but instead of producing
rabbits and doves they have a pen
chant for changing strings and
such things into snakes-real live
ones, too.
The Patterson Brothers, in their
horizontal bar act, who have played
many engagements in the San An
tonic variety theatres, are filling
a successful engagement at Tony
Pastors theatre, New York city.
The Buffalo On. W Times, in the
theatrical column, says:
"The best audience that Shea's
music hall has enjoyed in some
weeks, was present last evening,
and the enthusiastic encores in
dictated, better than anything else
could possibly do, that the attrac-
tiOns were of the right kind. That
old favorite, Maude Huth, was
given a warm welcome, while Billy
S. Clifford introduced a taking
drum novelty"
Billy Clifford was with Fields
MINISTRIES two years ago, when that
company was seen in this city for
the first time, and engaged the
present Alhambra theatre for two
nights. The manner in which he
pounds the sheep-skin is mar
velous. Miss Huth is also known
in San Antonio as good speciality
performer.
The summer season at EldOrado,
on the Palisades, in Weehawken,
n. j., has opened with the specta-
Gle of "King Solomon and the De-
structiOn of Jerusalem" which has
been revived. Over 800 people are
employed in the production. At
the conclusion of this spectacle the
crowd then wandered to other parts
of the ground. Many went to see
the boxing match between a kan
CARGO and a negro. This exhibit
ton of Australia versus America is
exceedingly amusing. The kanga-
roo and the negro boxed three short
rounds and the four-legged animal
got the best of it every time. He
knocked down the negro in the
second and third rounds, and did
not want to let the cOlOred man up.
The best piece of work done by the
kangaroo was when he walked up
to man who was talking the au-
dience deaf and poked his glove in
his face.
Frank McNish, the originator of
"Silence and Fun" who appeared
at the Grand opera house in this
city last season with Al G. Fields
minstrels, and who has performed
on all parts of the globe and before
the royalty, is at present at the
Imperial, New York. Mr.. McNish
is pre- badly the most sincerely fiat
tered man of his time, if there be
any truth in the old adage, he be-
ing ian artist with more imitators
than any man living"
