THE THEATRES.

A week ago last night there was some
thing going on on the stage OF the
Lansing theatre. Side Tracken"
believe is what they called the entertain
ment. Pity it wasn't side tracked before
it got to Lincoln. haven't program
by me, and am unable to recall the
names of the performers. But it doesn't
matter Suffice it to say that the "show"
that have visited Lincoln theatre goers
this season. 1t was awful. Beyond
the tramp characterization and some
musical specialties in one act it was
without reedeeming feature. 1t was
il anything. worse than Fishers Gold
Day" and The Swanee River" and
Through the War;" and when this is
said, it is unnecessary to make further
comment. Mention might be made
however, Of little girl with dime
museum voice, an actor who was
evidently engaged for his wardrobe,
and woolly dog. The little girl shufflled
her feet and piped her voice. The man
with clothes persisted in such combi
nations as silk tile, Prince Albert
and tan shoes. The little dog was
loaded with lead. and however thrown
or kicked about always came up on his
launches. "Side Tracked" in one
respect, resembles Clara Morris. Miss
will probably not be seen in Lincoln
again. In an unguarded moment she
embraced religion. "Side Tracked'will not
be seen in Lincoln again. 1t could never
bunco its way into Lincoln second
time.

"Our Flat comedy farce in three
acts, was given at the Lansing theatre
Monday night to small but thoroughly
delighted audience. This comedy came
to Lincoln with strong London and
New York recommendation but Lincoln
people refused to be guided by the judg-
mept of these two big cities, and stayed
away from the performance-in large
numbers. Our Flat" so far as the
movement is concerned, resembles "Mr.
Wilkinson's Widows" and pieces of
that ilk. 1t is brimful of go. with just
a little of French spice. The abilities
and versatility of the acting people are
not held down by the conventionalities
of plot. Anybody and everybody did
his cleverest speciality. introducing feat
ures of all sorts susceptible of no posi-
bl" connection with the thread of the
story. Emily Bancker. who had been
seen here before in "Gloriana,r has a
pleasing face and some acting ability.
Tom Ricketts,, p. III. Reyley. Miss Mar
ian Van Cortland, and Miss Lee Jarvis
are all distinctly clever people, and they
did not hold themselves in in "Our
Flat" The best burlesque of theatri-
cal scene ever given on the stage of the
Lansing was the parody on Marie Bur-
oughs in The Prohigatc,' given by
Miss Bancker and Mr.. Ricketts,. 1t
lost some of its force in that Lincoln
people have not generally seen Miss
Burroughs in that play; but all could
appreciate the cleverness of the burles-
que. In "Our Flat" the people work
hard to do the best they can. In the
second act where the hard hearted fur
niture dealer takes away the furniture.
Mdrgery, Miss Bancker, does a great
deal Of hard manual labor in making
up lounges. tables and chairs out of
soap boxes, barrels. ETC., with the assis-
tance Of liberal quantity Of draperies.
This scene has the merit Of originality.
The element OF fun enters very largely
into this farce, and for wholesome
humor it has few equals among the plays
that have preceded it the same stage.

lack Of resp:ct for the audience. A
notable feature of SOusa's band concert
at the Lansing Tuesday afternoon was
the immaculate gloves worn by the
handsome di, ector. There was no evil
dence Of their having been worn before
And any criticism of the gowns worn by
Miss Barnard and Miss Duke could not
be otherwise than favorable. In Mr.
Sousa's case it seems that word to the
wise is sufficient. Sousa is an ideal
band master. 1t is pleasure to watch
him WELD the baton; so graceful are his
movements. He is not gymnast on
the conductors stand like Johann
Strauss. and he is altogether different
from Theodore Thomas or Victor Her
bert. But his mastery OF the musicians
is well nigh perfect. There is so much
more life and spirit in Sousa's band
than in Gilmore's, or rather, Herbert's;
and Of the two / believe intelligent
opinion will generally incline toward
Sousa's as the better band. Sousa is in
close touch with popular taste. He
gives the public, both in his own com
positions and in selections from other
authors, just what it wants. A gentle
man was telling me the other day that
while in Washington, some months ago,
he heard the Marine band, under the
new leader playing before large crowd.
Selection after selection, including the
new leaders own compositions, were
played. with little or no apparent effect
on the audience. Toward the end Of
the program one of SOusa's marches,
either the Washington Post" or Lib
erty Bell' was given, and as the first
bars of the familiar music were heard,
the crowd cheered and applauded so
that for few moments the playing
could scarcely be heard. Sousas music
always makes an effective appeal. An
attractive program as given Tuesday
afternoon ranging from William Tell
overture to an illustrative piece, "Fo de
Wa" Liberty Bell'' was on the pro
gram. and two other SOusa marches
we're given as encores. Miss Currie

THE CARE OF SHOES.
Valuable Hint Important Adj

l have before me pair of shoes, one
save for the shape Of the foot iav-
ing destroyed the stiff outlines of new
ness. looking as If it might have just
left the store; the other shoe looks as
II even tramp might pass it by With
contempt. Yet they are mates.
One has been cleaned, the other has
not, is all the difference; yet neither
have ever been "blacked;" the shoes
have never been worn with rubbers. yet
when cleaned the leather is soft and
pliable as one could wish; yet with all
the spick and spanness they are half
worn out. How is it done?
Have three small clean cloths, basin
of water a bottle Of cosmoline, vase
line, petroleum jelly, or whatever name
you like to call it. it IS all the same,
and a clean shoe polishing or cloth
brush.
The shoes should we wiped as free of
mud as possible before drying and
should be hung in a warm current of
air. say two or three feet above a regis
ter or stovopipe. not underneath the
kitchen range, where they Will be
seorched on top and wet underneath
When they are perfectly dry wipe
the mudstains off with a damp cloth
be sure TO get them all off; then rub
hard with a dry cloth. then polish with
the brush. being careful about the
stitching around the sole. II is best
to do only a part at a time. say first
the vamp, one side. then the other, not
forgetting the heel.
Unless your shoes have been badly
scuffed and rotted by bad shoe dressing
they will look almost like new. Now
rub cOsmoline over them with a clean
cloth, and rub 1t we'll in; use 1t literally,
for too little will only destroy the polish.
while plenty of cosmoline improves il.
The whole shoe should be carefully done
even among the buttons and button
holes, and presto. your shoes are soft,
pliable black. and Just polished enough
to look well; will not stain your under
clothes or fingers when putting them
on, and little water will do them ne
harm.
Try it once and you will never want to
do 1t any other way.
