Dan Daily was in much better voice last
night and sang his Belle of New York
songs with the old-time droll expression
that made them such a hit at Englishs last
season. Theatergoers in search of capital
entertainment with something going on ev-
cry minute that is worth remembering
should bear in mind that THE Belle" will
give a matinee to-day and close its engage
ment at Englishs with to-night's perform
auce While Dan DAILY, Helen Lord, Queenie
Nassar, D. L. Don, Catherine Linyard and
William Cameron occupy the most attention,
there is great deal in The Belle" besides
these excellent performers. Among the
women there are several in minor role who
advancement whose
Nivacity and charm assisted largely in
helping to make the show enjoyable. Miss
Bobby Burns may not have the rOlypOly
shape of Paula Edwards for the Mamie
Clancy role, but she is plentifully endowed
with the soubrette talent and gives promise
Of something better in the future. Then there
is the petite Nella Webb Kissie Fitzgar-
ter, regular little French doll beauty, who
gives more promise than Edna Wallace did
at the same age Her conduct in the frothy
role of Kissie is a constant delight. The
faces in the chorus, particularly those Of
the six bridesmaids, are also Str1hingly at
tractiVe. The performance last night was
better, if anything, that that of the first
night Helen Lord, as the Salvation lassie,
has the sort OF beauty that captures the au-
dieuce at once and is probably of the kind
more admired by the men than by the wom-
en- There is only one woman in a thousand
with such a complexion, and it is still more
rarely found coupled with real dramatic tall
ent. The second visit Of The Belle Will
be remembered as one of the brightest and
best things of the season, as well as one of
the most prosperous.
THE Private Secretary" so well played
by the Grand Stock Company is amusing
large audiences at that theater and will con-
tinue 10 do so all week. There will be
matinee to-day and another one Saturday.
The Private Secretary is just the sort of
thing TO make people forget their cares, If
they have any, for there is not serious
moment in it.
Digby Bells many friends in this city
should not overlook his one performance
Thursday night at Englishs, squeezed in
between two such popular attractions as
THE Belle of New York and Alice Nielsen
