The attraction at X Kernan's Lyceum Thea
ter this week will be the Henry Burlesque
Company, an organization composed en-
tirely OF talented vaudeville and bur
lesque artists. The performance begins
with new and laughable comedy skit
entitled Pink Dominos.' This is ar
ranged for the purpose of introducing the
full strength OF the company. Many topcial
hits are gotten off, anda number of musical
numbers are eNceIlently rendered.
The olio, which is feature of the pro
gram, is made up OF Carr and Mcleod,
the musical comiques; Billy Barlow, the
singing and dancing comedian; Brooks
and Brooks, the Broadway entertainers;
the O'Brien Sisters, the twentieth century
girls; Clifford and Hail. the refined comedy
duo; Miss Nollie Whitten, singer OF the
latest popular songs, and others.
The entertainment will conclude with
a quick glance at the New York success,
entitled, An Artistic Model" which is
replete with pretty girls, rich costumes,
special scenery; clever comedians and elab-
crate electric effects. The electric doll
dance, by the four Rossard Sisters: the
Partisan tic-tac dance and the trick
elephant, Tip, are among the novelties
to be introduced. There will be matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Courtenay Thorpe is not only maxim &

Mr.. Courtenay Thorpe. Itisnow certain that
he is the coming actor. 1 can see no limits TO
