vEsTA TILLEY.

vesta Tilley Ii the latest Imitation Of

last night. when she launched her latest
song at Tony Pastors. I'm inclined to
think that She does herself an injustice.
She Is an imitation of nobody at all.
and she 10 far more entertaining. more
vivid and more humorous than the
Prince could possibly be. Made up as the
Prince-and his own mommer wouldn' I

garden cut. faced with black velvet.
She had . white silk hat. and all the
nattiest accessories. II. II. II. would
sell his mommer's crown for vesta's

but II Is not equal to tn. admirable dit
ties OF Miss Tilley's inexhaustible roper

Beethoven and Mozart foiios and search

Very few women can sing a comic
song like Vestn Tilley. She is one Of the

mating little women on the vaudeville
stage. She sang six songs last night,
and each one was so good that it effaced
the memory OF its predecessor. Miss

She Is chic. vivacious and At for a
