demure appearance of Edna May. Miss
Queenle lassar as Fiji Fricot, a Parisienne,
was oewltchlnSly graceful and attractive,
tne pest representation of the character
that mas been seen here. Cameron as the
pus1llst and Miss Bobby Burns as Mamie
ClanceY were very much in evidence and
were ehthuslastlcaaly encored at each of
thelr turns. Miss Catherine Lngard was
queen of comic opera who could sing,

Clnch, dark secret, was pleasing. None
of the women of the company can lay claim
to more than the ordinary share of good
looks, but their lack of beauty is made up
by their good singing, enthusiastic acting
ana hVeiy dancing. Bessie Tannehills songs
were pleaslngly rendered and well received.
Mary Cunard as a maiden lady, was viva
clous, but too much made up. May Shirk
gave an tcrohatic waltz with Garnella that
was one of the cleverest ever seen in this
city. Marie Leslie's work as Mrs. Quick

and Rich were more or less entertaining
The Great Sparrow presented novel
