ment.) The new bill for next week
promises exceeding strength. All of the
numbers are of the highest class, and
the newcomers have the additional merit
of being distinct novelties. The latest
eastern innovation Of introducing a "le-
gitimate sketch" into vaudeville will
also be feature at this house the COM
ing week. That charming and talented
comedienne, Patrice, supported by ALT.
Hampton and J. F. Whitbeck will pre-
sent new and original one-act play,
entitled "a New Years Dream" This
little play abounds in sweet simplicity,
comedy and pathos, and the company
presenting it is exceptionally clever. An
other leading feature will be Mile. Rom
bello, the sand painter" She produces
beautiful pictures Of landscape, flow-
ers and animals by the skillful sprink-
ling of colored sands upon plush back
grounds, held in place by large picture
frames. Her work is said to be 80 novel
and so artistic that it excites the ad-
miration Of even those who have little
or no knowledge of art and but small
appreciation of artistic ability. An
other team of newcomers is the Farnum
brothers, extraordinarily fine acrobats,
who do some especially clever tumbling.
Only the best of last weeks bill is re-
tained. Musical Dale will render new
selections upon the bells and concertfna

songs and sayings; the Gilmore sisters
introduce a new sketch; the Avolos

izontal bar exhibition, in which they
excel, and La Petite Ophelita will give
some graceful dances. There will be
