cially when IL brought with II the old
time fayorite. Years that have passed
must float as pleasant dreams before
Mr. Stodart, and his warm reception
must have been pleasing indeed To him.
No one who can enjoy a pleasant and
able bit OF dramatic work should fall
To see him. His support is good, Miss
Josie Stoner making very interest
ing Jane Learoyd, the woman whose
sweetheart is under suspicion of having
committed "A murder.
Just as merry and as full OF the
things which Joe" Hart and Miss Car
rie De Mar give delight i'm is The
Quiet Mr.. Cay" as the piece in which
they appeared last week. The fun and
happy incidents i'm the piece as well as
the songs are of the same class as Mr..
Hart favored very 3ppreciative pub
lie with last week. and Miss De Mar
wears some costumes that are dazzling,
while she dances and sings and makes
many moments very merry. Mr. Hart
still gives his very popular and inn
proved version OF 1.-THE Stars and
Stripes These two favorites seem as
fresh and agreeable to their hosts Of
friends as they have ever been.
Rudincff's smoke pictures are a unique
feature. They are wonderfully we'll
done. With a little smoke and the
clever use of his fingers he presented
yesterday some work that was very
pleasing to the eye. His pictures on
paper are good and quickly done, be-
ing made upside down. Children love
pictures and they also love the shadows
made on Il sheet on the wall, and they
will be delighted with the unique and
interesting things Rudinoff puts on his
screen. He is clever imitator OF the
song Of different birds, and last night
he seemed to be one Of the most attrac-
tive features for the audience of the
long program.
The second feature of special interest
To children Is the black art musical
turn of the Kleist Brothers, whose mys-
terious illusions include the "materiali-
zations' of the forms OF performers and
OF musical instruments on darkened
stage, together with a number of beau
tiful electrical effects, and the swing
ing Of illuminated clubs constitute quite
as entertaining and mystifying a per-
formance as any famous magician has
prestnted.
1t is a very acceptable musical num-
her that the three Vilona Sisters give.
Two of them are violinists and the
third a pianist. Their selections are
finely given and there were yesterday,
as there always are in this theatre,
keen lovers of music. and from these as
well as every one else warm recogni-
tion came. Fleurette is certainly an
excellent danseuse. and her clever and
tion The Seven Reed Birds amused
the audience hugely i'm their skit, The
Morning After the Ball" and the sing
ing and clever work Of Freddie added
much TO the grand total OF amusements
that the clever seven manage 10 get
out of the skit.
Adolph Adams impersonations OF
noted men by the swift use of wigs
and boards and very clever facial eX-
pressions are first class and were keenly
appreciated AS clean and bright club
Juggling as was ever seen in this city
was the club swinging of Derenda and
Breen. The dancing of Howley and
Leslie is particularly pleasing. Chill
dren, too, are remembered in the bio
graph this week, and there's more fun
ny pictures than ever before. The ia
nous theatre hat pictures are happily
retained, and one of the very best mo-
tion pictures yet given is the Empire
State express passing at 90 miles an
hour. George w. Day knows how To
