The artists ares heralded as being among
the top liners, and sthe only reason they
do not appear in that position on the bills
is the lriShman's reason that some of the
top lines are bottom lines. There is not
dull or unpopular tarn in the whole show.
The singing and the dancing can satisfy
the most critical, and the jokes keep the
audience In one perpetual roar Of laughter.

CA. c. ENTERTAINMENTS Mon
day evening at the Columbia Theater Will
be given the annual entertainment of the
Columbia Athletic Club. These entertain
mcnts have always been successes, artisti-
cally and financially, land the one the club
intends giving this year will by far excel
all others. Last year it was deemed adj
visable by the Committee to change the ma
ture of the entertainment. and they de-
cided upon departure in giving minstrel
entertainment in combination with their
well-known athletic attractions The pro-
gram to be given Monday night is by far
the most artistic effort they have ever
made, as a glance at the program will
prove. The Columbia Theater should be
filled to the doors by an audience desir-
Gus of seeing what excellence their fellow
townsmen have reached in their respective
lines of minstrelsy and athletics.
CONGRESS OF FOREIGN STARS
What promises to be the most important
vaudeville engagement of the season is the
appea, ance week after next at the National
Theater of Roster & Balls Congress of
Foreign Stars, at the head of which is
the much-discussed and widely-advertised
Charmion. TNnis artist has appeared for
twenty weeks at Roster & Balls Music
Hall, New York city, and, expressing it
mildly she created a sensation. Her rather
risque act consists of a disrobing scene
upon the trapeze. The company is
at present playing at the Music Hall. New
York, and returns there directly after this
engagement.
