The Casino Operate Burlesquers opened
at the Empire yesterday with a good lively
olio and two burlesques that ran consider
ably to chorus singing. The opening bur-
lesque was the Dromioish affair in which

comedy to elicit a great deal of laughter and
applause. In the olio were Thompson and
Carter in a sketch that really had some
continuity, and in which Miss Carter exer-
cised voice much better than that usually

dancing; Edwards and Conley, Irish team,
and Miss Jeannetta Elliott in an acrobatic
and tumblng turn in long skirts that was as
neat an act in its line as has lately been
seen here. The bill also included the fa-
milar favorites, Louise Carver and Pauline
Black, in an eccentric and highly personal
batch of chansonettes.' and Roberts and
Doreto in their Heap Fun Laundry aero

of musical numbers, ending with rendi-
lion of Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever
by the whole company zObo band.
