" THE DAZZLER."
Seattle Times, Nov. 22d.

Brighter. freSher and funnier than
ever is the verdict Of the immense
audience which packed the Third
Avenue Theatcr to the doors last night
to witness the initial performance of
the third annual engagement OF Cos
grove & Grants comedians in that
funniest of farce comedies, "The
Dazzler."
That Seattle is farce comedy town
there can be no question, for a per-
formancc of this nature, wherever it
may be given, never lacks for patron
age. And the people know good
thing when they see it. They know
what good dancing is, and this is the
reason that they applaud the per-
iormance of James Dooling to the
echo, for he is certainly the most
graceful dancer, and has the largest
variety OF new steps ever seen here
That also is the reason that they re-
called Rose Leslie and Evelyn Audley
several times in their charming spec
ialty. They know what good singing
is, and that, too, is the cause of the
tremendous applause received by Ber-
trand Bendell, who possesses remark
ably rich baritone voice; John Rcidy,
May Fisk, Leo W. Wright, Albert
Lloyd, and in fact the entire member
ship of the company. Then, again,
the people OF Seattle know when they
hear a clever musical speciality, and
the one rendered by Messrs Boulder
and Griffin was so clever that it fairly
took the house by storm. And, last
but not least, the Seattle people enjoy
hearty laugh. and for that reason the
work Of the comedians of the COM
pany was applaudcd to the echo.
The plot of the "Thc Dazzler," for
strange as it may seem it has a plot, is
the same as last year. The people,
however, have changed very materially,
and nearly every change is for the
best. The company too, is larger than
when seen here before. Miss May
Fisk is the third Dazzler" that has
come to Seattle, and she gives perfect
satisfaction in the part. Her special
ties are all new and clever. Howard
Boulder infuses new life into the
tramp act. He uses all OF the best
material belonging to the part, and
builds it up by adding a great deal of
his own. Leo w. Wright is an excel
lent Dutchman, and Bertrand Bendell
is an excellent jay. In fact the COM
pany throughout is clever, and will
doubtless pack the house to the doors
at every performance this week.
The above attraction will appear at
Olympia Theater, next Tuesday night,
Nov. Goth. Popular prices, %, so and
75c. Tickets will go on sale at O'Con-
nor's Monday morning.

A REMARKABLE instance of insubor.
dination and treachery is afforded by
a portion of the crew of the cruiser
Buffalo, which had been ordered to
proceed to Manila with 300 sailors to
relieve the men of Dewey's feet whose
enlistments had expired. The infa.
nous act consisted in disabling the
machinery of the ship to prevent her
from being sent to station so far
from home. A board of inquiry is en-
gagged in investigation of the circum-
stances and if the report proves true
the malefactors will probably be de-
barred for years from making a very
extended voyage in anv direction.

Dewey's fleet IN following the Spanish wa
ships into the harbor Of Manila and forcing
them TO fight. His majesty said on the
subject:
There is evidently something besides
smartness and commercialism IN the Yau-
kee blood. These fellows at Cavite have
fought like veterans
Emperor william. II is reported, Is in
clined in his private capacity 10 be on the
side OF the United States, but N view OF
the grave dynastic interests involved in
Spain by the war, he is unusually cautious
in expressing his views on the subject.
Grave apprehensions as to the ultimate
fate of the Spanish dynasty is felt In all
the courts OF Europe. and the queen regent
OF Spain has been the recipient, since the
battle OF Manila. of marks of sympathy
not only from Emperor William, but also
from Queen Victoria and nearly every one
of the crowned heads % Europe.
The comments of the German press IN
general on the victory at Manila make a
sharp study of the engagement. Until Mon
day most of the military editors of the pa
pers predicted an initial defeat for the
American navy and army comparing the
latter unfavorably with the Spanish forces
When forced to believe, however that an
American victory had been attained. they
said that nothing else could be expected in
view of the evident superiority of the
| Americans, and eulogiaed Spanish courage
in fighting against overwhelming odds.
