The Time Of Year when tho First Fiutter OF
Fall Activity Crowds Upon the Rsmaining 3
Midsummer Iiveiincss-vaadevtlis shows.
The first hutter Of fall activity has come. an
he summer liveliness is still with us. The
high standard OF roof garden vaudeville set by
the Victoria and lived up to by some OF the
cys other midsummer resorts, Is not low
cred at that pioneer OF good open-air entertain
ment Each week there the bill Is sifted out a few
Of the most popular performers being retained
but enough new ones are added to make variety.
The Johnsons are there as they have been since
the first OF the season Real enthusiasm a
much abused word in speaking OF stage per-
formances, greets them at almost every per-
| formance. An act that rivals theirs in popu-
| larity Is done by Eleanor Fak and man who
echoes her song in the audience. and finally
jumps onto the stage and Joins her IN wildly
| spirited cakewalk.
Some Of the roof gardens are using the talk
| Of the shirt-waist man for advertising. Nat
| Wills. who is still favortc in the Cherry Bios
som Grove walked on Broadway Thursday
without his coat to attract attention and pose
Us a disciple OF the innovation. His list OF
| Jokes that he tells at the New York seems never
ending. He adds new humor every week. and 1t
all has the stamp Of originality.
| The Casino is another resort that is trying
| TO make stock out Of the shirt-waist man. a
new entertainer there Is person who calls him
self Mr.. s. W. NJ. of Baltimore, and says that
he is the original shrt-waist man.
The Lion Palace roof garden seems to have a
following Of its own. and Is a delightfully."- cool
resort, where good vaudeville can be found.
| To-morrow's incoming rosters Of continuous
| vaudeville folk are familiars for the most part.
| But they are an expensive lot. and few fea-
| lures Of the bills will be new. At Proctors
| Palace, Williams and Walker will have a sketch

source Of its fun. Lesser specialties will be
