Joseph Callahan, supported by an un-
usually strong company, appeared Hast
night at the Academy of Music in presenta-
ton of Faust" The scenic and electrical
effects OF this production are probably the
best eyer shown IN this city.
The fourth act, which portr8ys the sum
mitof the Brockeu and the Wild md Shastly
reveis OF Walpurs's Night, is master
piece OF staging.
Mr.. Callahan in tie character of Mephis,o
shows an adaptaiio ion to tue part that is
heyond criticism. Miss Beatrice Ingram as
Marguerite carries the character to perfec-
tion Her appeal TO the Virgin n the third
act is a notewNrthy bit Of acting.
MT Edwin Boring undertakes the part
OF Faust with grea tsucceSs. Atsome stages
his emotional acting was very strong and
he was called before the curtain at The
conclusion OF nearly every act.
Among others who deserve mention are.
Mrs. Addie Farwell. as Martha. Frederick
Powers. as Valentine, and Miss Lillian
Du Bois. as Hilda.
The two ''faust" Quartets. composed OF
Messrs. Warning. Moore. Maurice, and
Carter. and Misses Warren. Du Tois,
Pryor. and Rogon. were very well received.
Harry W. Williams own company. PLAYED
to a packed house last night at Kernan's
Lyceum Theater. The show ia q good
one throughout.
Daley and Hilton. a clever sketch team.
opened the show. Daley did some very
unique croteSQue work. while Sadie Fl ilton
sang prettily. James Wallrook clog
dancer, has lively pair or feet and was
one OF the evenings hits.
Smith and Fuller did one of the neateSt
musical acts ever seen on the stage here.
They played on a variety of Instruments
and didn't mar their work by inflicting
ancient jokes upon the audience.
Gertie Gibson is Just US pretty as her sister.
I.ottie, but that's all. She has neither the
air nor voice of the inIInortaliZer of Little
Willie"
The distinct feature of the performance
is the act done by Dan McAyoy and Miss
Jessie May. 1t Is entitled "a Crazy
Conglomeration," and 1t deserves the naine.
Miss May is the only lady knock-about artist
on the stage.
John j. Cain looked pretty while his part
ner, George Felix. did a wonderful" Silence
and Fun" act. Farnum and Seymour. a
clever pair OF acrobats and high jumpers
The show closed with Dan McAvoy's
laughable afterpiece, entitled "Nothing,s
Too Good for the Irish."
Locked Up as Migrants.
Frank Kent. John O'Brien and James Lee
were arrestedlast night by Policemen wens

cinct, as Migrants. They were picked up
