"Top Notchers" at the Gaiety,

The swish of the silken skirt of the
soubrette was heard not at the Gaiety
yesterday, and seltzer shower baths
and other popular laugh-raisers of the
burlesque were not indulged in to any
extent. The programme presented by
Sheehan and Kennedy's TOP Notch
ers' was straight vaudeville and was
one of much merit.
The acrobatic features We're probably
the best on the Gaiety stage this sea-
son. The closing act of the four Earl
sisters on the dying rrapeze was n
thrilling performance Of grace and dar-
ing that is seldom attempted among
the athletes of the fair sex. The musi-
cal specialtics presented during the
evening We're also excellent. The Top
Notchers" will be at the Gaiety today
and tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Edwin Mayo.

Edwin Mayo will be seen in his play
OF "Pudd'nhead Wilson," at the Ly-
ceum next Friday evening. Mr.. Mayo's
rendition of the character of "Pudd'n-
head Wilson" is a study in compOsure.
1t Is curious in many lights, for in
stance, throughout the entire play there
is not one line which indicates that
Wilson ever felt the emotion of affec-
tion, excepting in the calm and order
ly manner which entertains the toler-
alton of our relatives and intimate
friends. This Is sufficiently remark
able to be noted with care.
This is. perhaps. the one play ON the
stage without a love story The un-
questionable success of this dream con-
clusively disayows the theory that this
element is necessary in play or story
for success.
