The wholesome hearted lavender.

Hashim's Academy of Music-yaude-
willie.

Few entertainments or entertainers
have ever been greeted with more en-
thusiastic reception than that accorded the
inaugural week of fashionable vaudeville at
Hashim's Academy Of Music. From the
opening performance on Monday afternoon
until the fan Of the curtain last evening
the playhouse was filled not only with
large and appreciative audiences. but with
such a discriminating class that there is
no doubt that vaudeville as provided by
the Messrs. Hashim is popular better
bill has seldom been seen anywhere, and
more appreciatiye audiences are rarely
found In any local theatre. pleasing
feature Of the performance IS that there
are no delays, waits, or efforts 10 kill time.
and every minute from the overture until
the fan of the curtain is occupied by the
features on the stage. a fact which Man
ager Hashim desires particularly to i'm
press upon his patrons is that the curtain
rises promptly at O'Clock for the daily
matinees and at S o'clock for the evening
performances.
For this week Manager Hashim promises
another harmonious blending Of we'll
known names. favorites, and pleasing nov
elites in the array OF headliners. Every
act announced stands for the best in the
line TO which It is peculiar. Foremost In
this weeks bill is Marie Dressler
Miss Dressler, who makes her first ap-
pearance here in vaudeville, is entirely
different from others in that field
and thoroughly unconventional. Moth
ing that she does surprises anyone but 1t
makes everyone laugh. No one takes her
seriously for moment. This week al the
Academy will be her last engagement in
vaudeville, for the present at least. as she
intends to twinkle as star this season. A
sketch team that has stood the test OF
time better than almost any other that can
be readily recalled is Clifford and HUH.
In fact, their sct has always been main
tanned at q high standard and kept replete
with new songs. bright witticisms, and
contagious nonsense. Billy Clitford's i'm
personation OF the eneminate dude is very
funny. while Maud HUH is the original and
one of the best Of coon shouters Their
combined abilities make a most interesting
and amusing bit OF Entertainment

The audiences at the Academy CT Music

that the venture Of the Messrs. Hashim

The new management Of the Biiou made
an excellent impression with The
Queen OF the Orient and comfortably
filled houses witnessed the performances.

1.-THE High Rollers" as the magnet, not
withstanding the extreme heat and the
competition Of another house catering to

Peter Daley. who fell from stardon
three or four years ago, now bitches his

and Mr.. Daley is himself amusing when
not too largely in evidence.
In other respects. gossip is rife over
the new season, and 1t may well be con-
cluded that 10 theatrical term in recent
years has opened with schemes SO far
reaching. This is apparent not only with
managers and players OF prominence in
this country. but those more mOdestly
situated in the amusement world. The
theatrical shopper may find about every
thing desired this year. but not ell the
goods are warranted. 1t needs nothing
more than a partial inspection of the
wares displayed to show that some are
purely ornamental and likely to break.

juggler Montrell stands In the foremost
rank and his handling of all sorts of
things has amused theatregoers in many

an able character delineator, giving we'll
known portraits of worldwide celebrities

famous musical trio, the three Murrays,
render popular songs and play various
musical instruments with skill. Others
in the list of Hashim entertainers for the
week are Hayes and Bandy, dancers;
White and Harris, in a comedy creation
of their own; Vernon. the ventriloquist;
Howard and St. Clair, in a comedy sketch,

There is a certain local pride in the
notable success of William Farnum, who
on Monday night last, assumed the diff
cult title role in Klaw g. Erlanger's mag
nificent production Of Ben Hur." Mr..
Farnum has host of Washington rela-
tives, while his parents have friends al
most without number in this city. The
elder Mr.. Farnum was a business asso-
ciate of Robert Downing for many years.
While, for the purpose OF exciting in
terest in their new Ben Hur. the man
ayers OF the production nave neglected to
speak Of his former successes, they have
been neither few nor puerile. Mr. Far
mum assumed the role of Don Jose in
Olga Nethersole's Carmen" on sixteen
hours notice, and SO great was his sue
cess that he had all New York's theatre
cal population talking about him for the
remainder of the season.
His later work in Under the Red
Robe" and as John -Grlgsby, jr., in
Sol Smith RusseIl's company. is OF too
recent date to be forgotten even by the
most casual patron of the stage. But,
for all that. Ben Hur is the greatest
opportunity that Mr.. Farnum has ever
had and before the end of the decade
the young actor should be even more
prominent that he now promises to be.
