 l VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES. Batty's bears and the fine vaude- iville show that have proved so .attrac- tive during the week at the Jacques Twill have their closing exhibition this evening. In connection with the vaudeville features of the performance one act has attracted considerable at tention and met with pronounced ia lyor. This is the illustrated song act introduced by Allen May and Major Fred Darcy. MT May, who is the singer, stands out, of course, with greatest prominence, so far as the inn mediate attention of the audience is concerned; but, like the man behind the gun who sometimes overshadows his immediate officer, Major Darcy has won notice from all because of the beautiful dissolving views that he throws on the screen. Such beautiful coloring and tinting, bringing out so perfectly the realism of the scene pie tured and reproducing it so absolutely true to nature, has not been seen in any illustrated song act shown at this house; and it is the admirable hand ling of the machine, by which one pie iture is made to dissolve into another I with the most exquisite perfection of shading, that gives effect to MT Mays dramatic vocalism. This is the work of Major Darcy, and to him have been extended many congratulations during the week. Prices Sare 10, 20 and 30 cents
