KERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER.-
Packed houses greeted Scrfbner's Gay Morn
| ing Glor1es at Kernan's Lyceum Theater
yesterday afternoon and night. The open
ing ana closing ourlesques are weak, but
the ollo is far above the average to the
ability OF the performers, new songs and
original lines of work being unusually
numerous, and as consequence an enjoy
able entertainment was given. Bessie Tay-
lor opened the olio with a budget of new
songs, and as she is good singer and
pretty her turn was loudly applauded.
John Black and Madeline Franks followed
IN taking, singing and dancing turn,
ana oree more originality was noticed and
appreciated, the laughter being almost in
cessant. The Hebrew monologue of Harry
Walters was meritorious, his songs and
JOKES pelns new. Dryden and Leslie scored
heaV1y with combination Celtic and aero
patio turn, while Webb and Hassen proved
;l, acrobats of unusual cleverness and nerve
The colored pair, Grant and Grant closed
the olio and made the hit of the afternoon
ana evening. Both performers are good
looking and dressed the turn lavishly, but
IN sood taste. Several new coon" songs
were given IN addition to the humorous
dancing and cake walking.

gram this week starts with a burlesque,

company. A number of the popular mem
bers of this unique organization are seen

THE sHAKEsPEARE REc1TAL.-To-
morrow night at the Universalist Church
Mr.. Percy Foster will present Mr. VIM.
Shakespeare, the celebrated vocal teacher
of London, who will give a song recital.
The interest in Mr.. Shakespeare's appear
ance here has been very great, as is evil
denced by the active demand for seats. The
sale already indicates a big attendance and
there are but very few seats left. These
will probably be sold today and tomorrow,
so that when Mr. Shakespeare steps upon
the platform tomorrow night it is expected
that every seat in the auditorium will be
occupied. Shakespeare has a pleasing tenor
voice, and he sings with taste and feeling,
but 1t is as vocal teacher that he Is best
known In this country, and so he aims to
make his tour a combination Of both
tertainment and instruction. Consequently,
he calls his entertainment lecture recital,
and he will speak of voice building and
tone production and then illustrate his
theories by songs. Seats that remain are
on sale at Sanders & Stayman's.

After a few suggestions on methods Of

and villages that are rich in associations
with early tradition. with medieval
nance and modern letters Many OF those
in the audience had taken the trip already,
and these expressed especial pleasure in
this renewal of fading Impressions and the
filling in of gaps incident to hurried travel.
The talk next Monday evening will be on
