weeks engagements at the Academy last
evening before the, customary large audi
ence. Comedy and patfos are cleverly pre-
scented at the right tf1ra The climaxes are
strong and exciting. THE ride of the hero

makes an interesting scene. Realistic home

KERNANS LYCEUM THEATER.-Ker-
nan Lyceum Theater presents for its pa
irons tnls week show that is exceptional.
one that has an abundance of dash and
ginger. in which the several turns of the
OHIO are nearly all above the average. The
aggregation is Hurtig and Seamons Bow
cry buriesquers, and it was given a rousing
reception at both the afternoon and evening
performances. There. is no opening bur-
lesque, the show beginning with the Mach
rema Twin Midgets, in songs and acrobatic
dancing that were much appreciated. Neva
Aymar, assisted by Ben Jansen made hit
with negro songs, and Gilbert and Goldie
proved themselves capable entertainers
In the quick-talk line. The Taylor Trio,
FRANK Taylor, Ethel Cope and Tom Carter,
are well known for their clever work. Hen

Trial In Vaudeville" which allows them

the fun. The feature of the burlesque in

preferable to new one badly propounded.
BIJOU.-Twice yesterday hosts of regu-
lars and visiting race patrons crowded the
Bfjou, where the favorite stock company
in a roliicking absurdity, supplemented by
half dozen variety turns, gave the initial
thanksgiving week performances. The
burlesquers half of the program, as usual,
was full Of dash and spirit, while that of
the vaudeville suffered by comparison with
high-standard olios of preceding weeks. The
clever funmakers, singers and dancers OF
the house company led the bill with a
twisted, tangled bit of musical comedy,
fixing away under a title that had moth
ing to do with plot and a plot that sure

ton served the purpose, however, of incit-
ing riot of good songs. choruses and may
dances, with heavy thuds of comedy by
Dave Lewis and Bert Leslie. Nellie Mich
OILS, Susie Rocamore. and Grace Spencer,
and Messrs. Rodgers, Harris and Kennedy
all established fayorites-continued their
respective successes in a musical way. ably
aided and abetted by the sprightly chorus.
Mile. Hilda, contOrtionist and spectacular
artist, assisted by Zavo, opens the olio.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robyns and Mabel Sisson and
May Stuart give pair of too-talky turns,
which last night unfortunately followed
each other. Al. Cameron, Susie Fisher and
John Rodgers score well in illustrated
songs; but the hammer-and-tongs acrobatfc
act of three Brothers Ross is still the same
as in its circus days. A short sketch of ar
tlstlc merit, however. Is that of Callahan
and Mack, whose Irish character pictures
prove a refreshing departure from the usual
run of cross-talk teams. ~
