Singles Out Young Man at the Black
Crook Performances.
When Miss Marshall, the soubrette,
who is pretty and clever, sang her local
joke song in the third actof the Black
Crook, last night, and directed the
point of it to a young man on the south
side of the house. three young men who
occupied the front box on the north con-
cluded she would be over there next,
and were in such hurry to get out that
they tore down the curtains and knocked
over the chairs and did not return to the
box during the performance.
The audience was delighted and called
her back. In response she ran across
the stage, stopping long enough at the
foot lights to throw kiss to Dan Adams,
who sat down in front, and say Here's
one for you. Dannie" This tickled the
gallery immensely, and there was dan

studied this kind Of dancing all her life,

city, where her father is a well to do
merchant. 1t is generally believed that
dancers on their toes have sort of shoe
especially adapted by the use of steel to
the work. The slippers Gautrie wore
last night were just like any others ex-
cept that the toes were of a different
shape and contained sort of cushion of
cotton to protect the ends of the toes.
The French quadrille dancers work
harder than anybody else with the
BLACK Crook" but they do not seem to
mind it and spent the time off the stage
last night doing about the same thing
they did before the footlights. They are
