Excellent Hits OF Acting Often Seen in Them
Nowadays.
The dime museums are continually growing
In Importance. and now enjoy a recognized
position in the estimation Of very large class
OF people. Their managers carefully watch
the drift Of public opinion and endeavor to
copy. on q cheaper scale. such features OF en-
tertainment as prove popular in the higher
priced places OF amusement. Moreover. the
dime museums have become haven OF rest
for many an old-timer or impoverished actor
who Is willing to accept a position with small
salary in lieu OF something better. and conse-
auently one may often see excellent bits OF
acting at these humble establishments. Mr.
Doris has added to his large museum on the
west side a collection OF wax works similar to
those on view In the Eden Mus6e. and he has
also engaged Fanny Herring. a woman with
IN admirable professional record and a great
favorite with his audience. At Worth's Mu-
scum there are still few interesting and
eccentric human beings. but the chief charm
OF the place lies In the variety entertainment.
which goes on In its little theatre from morn
ing till night. A Crystal Maze will soon be put
on exhibition. At Huber's establishment there
will be this week q Kansas giant a French
bearded lady. and a band Of cat minstrels.
There Is also q variety entertainment to be
enjoyed in the theatre part OF the establish
ment. and some very clever people will take
part In 1t this week.
