particularly adapted TO the display OF her
powers as an emotional actress; and, al
though she Is capably supported, her role

and finely balanced impersonation.
Hall and Staley have I'm THE Twen-
tieth-Century Burglars" a sketch sugges-
tive OF Mcintyre and Heath's Georgia
Minstrels;" and II Is not too much to say
that both the sketch and the performance
are as laughable and enjoyable as those

with the addition OF some novel musical
features that are excellent They scored
the laughing hit of the bill. and hit OF
exceptional proportions at that.
Al Bellman and Lottie Moore, good
comedian and baritone singer and a dain-
~ soubrette, offer "Hesters Promise" an
amusing trifie that introduces some clever

clog dancing set on with a comedy at
mosphere and embellished with hand
some special scenic effect: and their ped

kind yet offered here.
Jennie Yeamans, whose cleverness as n
mimetic comedienne is at times almost
too artistic and In a sense too deep 10 be
fully appreciated at a first hearing, pre-
sented an act with which no other can be
compared. Her by play with the pianist
and the operator of the spot light was
intensely ludicrous, her caricatures were

bit OF melodrams most clever.
Ameto not only has advantage Of rare
personal charms, but her act is distinctly
different from that Of any other "dra-
perry dancer. and I'm its way quite as
pleasing. IL opens with a series of very
pretty posings impersonating various
well-known actresses, after which she is
seen in the fire. lily and other drapery

The Three Barretts offer a comedy club
Juggling act. containing many new feat
ures of particular excellence, the triple
work arousing great enthusiasm; and the
act Is one Of the conspicuous features OF
the bill. Anna Teresa Berger's cornet
solos are played with fine taste: and her
quality of tone and triple -tonguing won
deserved appreciation. Gordon II. Ell
