1t is believed that Mr.. Caldwell will
consent to this. If he does not Gov. Rus

it was gratifying TO see The children
who take part in the spectacular features
were astonishingly clever and sang and
danced tunefully and gracefully. The
nursery rhymes by the little tots will
make a great hit. The fan drill by
larger girls and the boys chorus are sure
TO take with the audience. The specta-
tors were appreciatiyc Of the excellent
work done, and Were liberal in their ap-

is inserted a tube set with cement

ing goes. The new bill, to continue for

eight pretty dancers, who give the
hornpipes very neatly. On the recall
Stella Saville. a very graceful little girl,
gives a transformation dance in the
midst of the ballet, attired in Cuban
colors, which, by a swift movement in
the midst of the dance, change into
American coIors. The transformation
was greeted by thunders of applause.
AS the little miss ceases the dance, the
chorus, led by a male voice, sings I'm
Gle Sam, tell us why you are waiting,
and at the same time stereopticon pa
triotic pictures are shown, including
portraits of Washington, Lincoln, Grant
and Mckinley, whereupon the audience
applauds and cheers to the echo, and in
the whirl of it all a little tot dressed as
Uncle Sam comes forward bearing the
United States and Cuban flags, greatly
to the delight Of the audience, If cheers
and hand-clapping are to be received in
evidence. LoZelle, gymnast who was
here with a partner last winter, gives
daring trapeze and ladder exhibition.
He is a remarkably fine worker. Real
ly, he should be required to provide
safety netting If ever he makes
slip he will be dashed head first into
the orchestra. The Saville sisters, Stel-
la and Alice, appear in a clever song
act, lie Partisan Grisette," and then
in their original Gaiety dances. The
sisters are graceful, pretty and pleasing
dancers, and sing quite as we'll also.
Gruet, Beers and Gruet gave a splendid
acrobatic act. 1t is grotesque, very
laughable, very skillful and has many
features of distinct originality. 1t is in
all respects a fine number. Bogart
and O'Brien, an eccentric comedy and
musical team, greatly please the audi
ence. They are decidedly novel, and
Bogart in black face is irresistibly fun
ny. The entertainment closes with
Nilsson's original aerial ballet. 1t has
been seen here before. but is consider
ably improved. 1t is very pretty brill
liant in costumery and gorgeous in color
effects, worked through four powerful
electric stereopticons. The patriotic
features in it induce great waves of ap-
plause to sweep from the auditorium
across the stage. 1t includes the diver
dance, the flying mermaid, the fairy
dance. the human butterflies, the ia
nous skirt and spiral dances and con-
cludes with finale in which chorus
song is given with good effect.
