Black Patti and an ebony-hued chorus
of much sweetness monopolizes the close
in perhaps the best snumber of the even

Reed and James Crosby are more than
worthy of mention in connection with
the abundance of vocal numbers contrib

1.-THE Innocent Maids put up the
strongest show of the season thus far at
the Star. Yesterdays big audience en-
cored every act on the programme be-
yond the limits Of reason. The two
skits, "A Wooden Woman and "a Lot
terry Ticket which open and close the
show. are very funny and have the merit
of cohereney. The women of the COM
pany are all pretty without exception,
and have many changes of costume,
and, what is more sing and dance well.
The musical selections are all catchy.
Annette Yale, who is given the center
of the stage the greater part of the time
is Shapely beauty, and the chorus
which supports her is far above the or
Ginary in vocal ability The Carl Dam
mann tr0up of acrobats is the leading
feature of the show, and many of the
feats performed are entire novelties
Several OF them border upon the sensa-
tional. As wind-up to the act. Carl
Dammann balances a pole upon his feet

~ 500 people. The entertainment was
given under the direction of Prof. VIII

club. -
One of the features of the evening was
the work of the chorus composed of
thirty voices. They were well trained,
and their voices Showed careful work
and study. The tenors in the chorus did
exceptionally good work
Mrs. Emil Traeger, whose voice while
not strong is sweet and well trained,
rendered two selections that brought an
encore from the audience, who would not
be satisfied until she had made her third
appearance 3a
Among the Instrumental features of the
programme was a. piano duet by Miss
Lorette Haasaand Prof. Maenner A diff
ficult piece was well executed by the
players, and the audience demanded an
encore. &@E
"Erlkonig's Tochoer'' was rendered by
mixed chorus, with solo parts for bari
tone, soprano and alto. Mrs. Traeger
sang the soprano, Miss Louise Heck the
alto and William Conradi the baritone.
The piece exacts clever work on the part
Of the singers. The solo parts and the
chorus were both up to the standard de-
manded by the piece.
