opened an engagement at the Empire Thea
ter. yesterday, for three days, played TO
the usual large Monday matinee. The
performance began with a curtain raiser
called 1.-The Sousa Girls" the principal
feature of which is a large chorus or young
women. The singing of a sextet COM
posed of Isabelle Garfield, La Belle Par
sens, Ada Brown, Florence Tyler. Allie
Burke and Bessie Burns, was particularly
good. In the clio Miss Henrietta Dreyer,
a vocalist, sans two selections, one OF
which was 1.-THE Holy City" Jack Burke
boxing match, entitled His First Les
son." that was a decided hit. II Is claimed
that Burke fought the longest battle on
record-l0 rounds. which lasted seven
hours and twenty minutes. Sam J. Adams,
known as The Long Boy" is a versatile
comedian and has a funny act. One of the
principal features of the olio is the artistic
posing OF Miss Bessie Burns. The olio
also contains Carlin and Brown. German
comedians: Anna and Charles Checker. ex-
pert ~manipulators of the baton, with their
trained pig. "Sapho," and a series of NOV
ing pictures which are very artistic and
unique. Among the pictures shown Is an
exhibition by the Ricardo family, aero
with a burleSque called The Artists Mod

and posing. "Isha, the Oriental Queen"
Is introduced in this burlesque with glow

Melbourne Mcdowell added another to

most substantial footing as an actress of
great ability. I'm a sumptous scenic produc-
ton OF Sardou's great play, 'Theodora.'
at EngIish's Opera House last night. 1t is
likely that the rumor to the effect that
Mr.. Mcdowell had parted company with
Mr.. and Mrs Bruno had much TO do with
the deplorable smallness of the audience.
A production would nave TO be far below
the merit OF Theodore" To really deserve
such q shabby reception. Strict candor
ccmpels the admission that, with the ex-
ception OF Mrs. Bruno, Mr.. Diston and
Mr.. Mcdowell. the company is very in
ferior in acting ability. However. the
magnifcence of the production and the
fortunate Circumstance that the burden of
the strong situations is borne by the three
principals named. ~justifes the statement
that Theodore is well worth seeing. The
lines ar times fairly scintillate with the
brilliance of the Sardou wit, eynicism and
sarcasm. Mrs. Bruno is a young woman
of splendid stage presence and of remark
able versatility. Her impersonation OF the
chameleon-like empress. who is by turns
a 'prowler among the porehes of the tenn
pie" and the arrogant. naughty ruler. Is 4
piece OF acting that would be difficult to
surpass. All the emotions felt by a queen

Brady's finely mounted dramatization of
Marie Corelli's novel, began a three days
afternoon before an audience Of such pro-
portions as to demonstrate that the piece
still retains its previous popularity in this
city. This seasons tour of the production Is
under the management Of w. a. Miller,
who is well known and popular here. The
cast shows but few changes and the pro-
duction cannot be said to suffer on account
OF these. Edward r. Mawson, who has
succeeded Charles Kent in the role of
Prince Lucio Rimanez (Satan in human
guise), gives a splendid impersonation of
the character, which is the leading one in
the play. Mr.. Mawson has "a fine stage

The meetings at Roberts Park Church
will come to a close tonight. to the great
regret Of many. Mr.. Harrison was re-
quested by the board of trustees to remain
for a longer period. but had to decline, in
order to fill another engagement. There is
some difference of opinion among mem
bers Of the board of trustees as to the
a~dvisability of continuing the meetings
from a financial standpoint, but the board
is a unit in declaring that a great deal of
good has been accomplished by Mr.. Har-
rison during the present series of meetings.
Last night the church was crowded, and
much religious fervor was apparent dur
ing the entire service. Mr.. Harrison was
particularly effective in exhorting those
who had been backward. Thirteen knelt
at the altar rail at one time, and of this
number ten were professed conversions.
