way theatre for the current week is "A Bag inge
Check" one of Mr.. Blaney's pet connections,
vaudeville. and is performed by actors who are
specialists in various kinds OF song. dance, and
miInicry.
The vaudeville pot is boiling. and the all-day-
and-evening shows are extended BY we!l-played
dramatic bits. Thus at the Pleasure Palace
Maurice Barrymore appears twice q cay in
"A Man of the World" and is put at the head
OF the bill. Among the specialists are Frank
Bush. whose inning of character limitations is
newly equipped with jokes; Caicedo, the wire
walker and jumper. who has just recovered from
n hurtful fall; Le Claire ard Hayes. Ray L.
Royce. De Moss and Mals, Gardner and Ely, and
Stanley and Jackson. A new item here is the
biograph. the best.equipped of all the projectors
OF instantaneous photographs. Among to-day's
performers are Isabelle Crquhart, James Thorn
ton, Laura Biggar. Joe Hart. Frank Cushman.
Carrie De Mar. and Smith and Fuller.

where it would have had previous service, prob
ably. but for the fact that it employs n dozen
persons. Miss Seligman's more conspicuous as
~sistants are thoroughly capable players. Variety
sketches here are done by O'Rourke and Gardner
and by CharlesT 7. Ellis and companions. Outright
specialists are the Polos. John KeTnell. the Del
to~rellis, Evnns and Vidocq, Nellie Burt. John 4.
