Marie Dressler is the headliner in the
Wilbur Opera Company's fine bill at
the Providence Opera House this week.
Last night she was greeted by a large
audience and from her first appear
ance on the stage. she was given con-
tinuous applause. Twenty Minutes in
Shirt Waists" was the name OF the
skit Miss Dressler was seen in.
The name was no index to the act at
all. Miss Dressler appeared first as a
census taker and went the comic news
paper paragraphs several points better
in her fun making.
Every time she made a statement
the audience applauded. Next Miss
Dressler sang coon song In which the
supposed-to-b colored lady promises
no reform in the midst OF a spree. The
audience was delighted and its ap-
piause broke into the performance and
somewhat disconnected Miss Dressier.
but she rallied and expressed various
phases OF coon life in song. gesture
and walk.
Miss Dressler had an interesting
talk with her assistant and she then
repeated the ghost scene from Ham,
let.
Only while this was being gone
through was the audience any way
reasonable and when Miss Dressler re-
turned TO coonland her audience was
again carried away and recall after re-
call was given as Miss Dresser bowed
herself out.
She was very generous in respond
ing TO encores and in the view of the
actions OF the audience last evening
her success in vaudeville is assured.
Miss Dressler will be seen at every
performance at the Opera House this
week.
The opera given last night was "The
Two Vagabonds'' version OF Erminie,
and it was pleasingly given. Most OF
the delightful melodies OF the delight
