is full of life, with unique features.
Various solos by the end men and ballad
lists follow, Swith free sprinkling Of

live assortment of novelties makes the
eecond part lively and entertaining
closing with a finale in which the whole
chorus participates. This gives the merest
conception of what the entertainment
will be like.

gagement on Saturday night, ana IN snal

bestowed on her wherever she has ap-
peared for her acting as Iess OF 5he

the English or American stage to equal
her portrayal of this part" says one
writer Another Scritic marveled at the

Simmons and Slocum's Company Com
ing To. Morrow Night.

An innovation I'm vaudeville In this
city will be given by Manager Leath OF
the Broad-Strect Park Vaudeville TO-
morrow night, and during the week.
when he will present on the stage or
that popular resort Simmons and Slo-
GUMS Ministries, a compact company OF
fourteen members that are all represen-
tatives Of their profession whether il ne
comedy. singing, or dancing ana VINO
alone can rank with the best OF stars.
The company this summer has been en-
tour through the Northern states, app
pcaring for week engagements and ire
oucntly longer al the largest and most
extravagant pleasure resorts. where their
pcrformance has always pleased tne
public, and locally placed halo or
fame around the organization Tor inc
superiority Of the entertainment they
give.
Manager Ioath has added n further
attraction 10 the engagement by not ad-
vancing the price OF admission, nor OF
reserve seats, but will permit the COM
pany at the popular prices that nave
prevailed at the resort all this season.
Tho firm of Simmons and Slocum IS
easily remembered by theatre goers. as
they have been for a number OF years
the prime advanccrs Of minstrcisy, and
their abilities as dark iaced-comedians
have made conspicuous more than one
minstrel aggregation. Their aim has
always been 10 give q refined and strict
~ moral performance that IS entirely
free from vulgar jokes and perfectly
agreeable to ladies'. and # is the inten-
ton OF Mr.. Leath 20 see that IL is carried
out I'm this city.
Among the comedians with the troupe
are Lew Simmons. Vic Richards, Clark
Glib. Jr, and Clark Glib, ST. all OF
whom are jokers OF bright minds. and
ever ready 10 please the public with new
material. Vic Richards IS seen during
the oHo IN his up-to-date monologue or
fun and nonsense. and Gibbs, ST., and
Lew Simmons viii produce whirl of
merry moments with their slap back talk
and a bunch Of all manner Of dances.
The vocal strength of the bin is found in
the brilliant quartette composed OF
Mcssrs Jack Marion, j. II. Eapp. Frank
Mitchell. and &. o. Marsh. who intro
duce their splendid vocal melodies in a
musical burlesque called "TOmmies I'M
cle's Cabin. Their singing Is one of the
strongest features Of the performance.
and i'm conjunction with the comedians
they make the first part an hour of sol
id enjoyment There are many other
specially acts ia the oliO, and the enter
tainment is brought to "a close with the
black face sketch "Beasley's Dog that
introduces bismarck" the wonderful
performing dog.
