Variety at the Empire.

Harry Bryant's Burlesquers, playing a re-
turn engagement at the Empire Theater,
show some new features. The most notable
of these is a troupe of Japanese acrobats.
They do the regular balancing act with a
boy seated on the top of bamboo pole.
One of the troupe performs on a slack wire.
The Japanese conclude their work by the
slack-wire performer walking up a rope
reaching from the stage to the front of the
gallery and then sliding down backward.
Bryant and Saville, musical comedians,
have improved their act. The Perry and
Burns trio, composed of two men and a
woman, have funny Irish sketch. Lillian
Perry wins applause by her clever singing
and dancing. NJ j. Burns, an Irish come
of a Celt. Russell and Tillyne have an
eccentric dancing and acrobatic act. Russell
performs a number of difficult featS on a
table while the "other half Miss Tillyne,
proves entertaining with her queer dancing.
Tom Ripley concludes the olio by singing
several songs of a sentimental nature.
The performance opens with a burlesque
entitled Captain Beans of the Horse Ma
rnes" The title role is taken by Harry
Bryant. He would prove more entertaining
if he would eliminate his nastiness. There
can be no excuse for the vulgar way IN
which he conducts himself on the stage.
His cursing detracts greatly from his few
virtues. Several musical numbers are
given in the opening act. Harry Bryant's
singing of RIP Van Wrinkle Was Lucky
Man was we'll received. Among the other
numbers are Picture a Man. by Edith
Bryant, and Loves Dream" by an octet.
The title of the closing burlesque is
in this act. The show will remain until to-

Must Talk of Clothes.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
One of the feminine propensities for which
men express a hearty detestation is the
inclination evinced by most women for
what may be called cloth talk, says an
exchange. In public places of all kinds
even churches not excepted, men aver that
where two or more women are grouped
there inevitably will the ears Of the help
neghbor be assailed by gossip about ma
terals and cuts. Even intelligent women
cOllege-bred ones, men Say-are bitten
with this frenzy for perpetual dwelling
upon the wherewithal with which they shall
be clothed. so that contiguity to pairs or
groups of women is something to be avoid
ed If one would escape boredom. 1t must be
admitted that the charges of the men are
not libels. Most women do talk and think
about clothing to extent that leaves
comparatively little time for the serious
consideration of other subjects. But given
the conditions of social life as they exist
to-day, il is not clear how much less time
could be given to the matter. The unWrit-
ten law for women in every grade of life
is that she shall be ornamented and al
circumstance and native endowment, fail
utterly to attain this ideal, they are not
freed from the obligation to strive to full
fill their decorative destiny. At every turn
unless their tent be pitched in the wilder
nesS-are they reminded that, whatever
their mental attachments, il is expected of
them that they shall take an interest
in dress. and the woman who refuses 10 do
so is regarded as unwomanly and dowdy.

"A Poor Relation the play made famous
by ~ ;-As Sol Smith Russell and also
played by Frank keenan,, was presented
yesterday a the Park Theater by Fred.
erick Summerleld. The work of Mr.. Sum-
merfeld in the quaint character of Noah
Vale was surprise to many who had the
pleasure of seeing him. He possesses many
of the qualities of the other two actors
who have played the piece in higher-priced
theaters. Even the labored stride of the
poor inventor has not been overlooked by
Mr.. Summerfeld and his carriage was one
of the salient features of his performance
In fact, he seemed TO lack nothing for the
character of Noah Vale. He portrays we'll
the optimistic philosopher and at times
makes a good deal of humor out of him.
AT other times his droll manner produces
pathos.
Especially in the second act is he seen
TO advantage when he enters the parlor OF
Roderick Fave, the millionaire manufac-
turer. Here Noah Vale is confronted with
all the finery that wealth can afford. At
first sight he is astounded. Hunger has
weakened him. but the object which he
has in view-that of disposing of his in
vention-instills life into him Mr. Sum-
merfield's acting in this difficult part was
clear. Later in the same act, when he is
seated before a luncheon set by Dolly Faye
he changes the solemn strain to mirth
at his having forgotten his table manners
Nor is Mr.. Summerfield the only person
in the cast who can act. He is aided by
Miss Laura Oakman, who plays the part of
the tattered waif, 'Scolops." AS the two
children of Mrs. Warmer, Rip and Patch,
Margaret Mckinley and Little Velma add
a great deal To the comedy. Miss Maude
Vaughn. Dolly Faye, who has just re-
turned from school. acts her part with
grace. The part of Roderick Faye the man
ufacturer is played by George r. Sprague.
A. V. Johnson plays the part of Casper
Sterrett, the partner of Faye. The play
will continue until tomorrow night.

tional enough TO compete with her; 1 m
not enough of an actress. That girl can

her to go to a house where a suicide had
taken place, worm her way into the conf

with them tearfully and jolly them into
believing that she was a veritable angel
of mercy She would explain that her pa
per had sent her for the merest details,
that little would be written concerning the
tragedy and that her heart bleeding
for the bereaVed ones. In the end she would
get a photograph, go back to her office
chuckling and write the yellowest kind of a
story, embellshed with all the sickening
details. And it's all because she can cry

The Quaker City Quartet present their
familiar musical sketch. which they call

The widest farce that the Grand has had
this season is How to Get Rid of Your

audience laugh, but the fun ends there.

her drunk. His wife becomes jealous OF

is the end the husband has in view.

idea from Miss Graham and it certainly is
true that Miss Melville does 1t much bet

have been many Sis Hopkinses, and Miss
Graham ought to turn her ability else
where and not go on trying to make the
public recognize the business of her claim,
which is of no Importance to any one eX
cept herself. The Sis Hopkins talk is IA

The Vaudeville at the Grand.

Jessie Couthoui and Edgar Atchison Ely
do the smartest things in the new bill of
vaudeville at the Grand. Miss Couthoi is
a close observer and a humorous imitator
and her department store talk is excellent
This was mimcked here recently by little
Winona Winter. Miss Couthoui falls short
In the rest of her work. She uses an old
song about some BARRIERS in a basement
that were so eager to see the stockings of
woman ascending the stairs that they
slashed the faces OF their patrons She has
another unfuuny song about woman
married only a year, that resented the doc
tors question as 10 whether she had one
cHnd or two. Miss Couthoui closes with
an alleged poem telling of man that stole
a horse out West i'm order 10 ride 10 see
his dying mother. The owner of the horse
and his friends caught the thief and pre-
pared TO string him up. The poor fellow
drew his mothers letter from his pocket
and asked that IL be read to him before he
was hanged. The letter had such an effect
on his captors that they gave him the horse
and a roll of money and told him 10 go TO
his mother This touching story il recited

There is no reason whatever, except that

loath to turn their skill to account when

which makes it so expensive; yet work for
