was remarkably clever, indeed II was
done so cleverly that. although they
laughed heartily. the audnece somewhat
regretted that he divulged the secret OF
his Illusion.
There is no doubt about Mr.. Aldrich's s
supremacy in his line. his work not only
being out-of-the-ordinary but AS funny as
can well be imagined. One OF the funniest
acts In the bill. one might also say in
vaudeville is that OF the QuigIey
brothers. who made an unqualified sue
cess. and gained a strong hold on the es-
TEEN OF the Keith clientele. They do a
talking act, which is decidedly unique,
one man representing an up-to-date
well-to-do Irishman. who has been con-
gressman. Their act is clean-cut. and
brimming over with new and original ma
terial. So fast do the laughs come that
the audience hardly recovers from one be-
fore they are convulsed by another. They
left the stage amid shouts Of laughter
and were heartily recalled, their success
being emphatic.
The Pony Ballet, a coterie OF very
youthful and pretty girls, repeated their
success Of last season in their lively and
somewhat acrobatic dances, which scored
heavily. This act has vastly improved
since last year many new and original
dances have since been added. Their cos
tunes are bright and attractive, and they
make a particularly pleasing picture
Their rope skipping dance was especially
fine.
James f. Kelly and Dorothy Kent. two
old favorites. made one OF the biggest
hits on the bill In their crisp patter 81

VILE comedian. and is also very grace

work at the finish of the act. particular.
ly the tough dance, simply brought out
deafening applause. The only regret OF
the audience at the end OF this act, was
that there was not more OF 1t.
Charming and gifted Edna Aug, the
talented comedienne made her first bow
10 Keith audiences and at once made her
self a favorite. Miss Aug is a very beauti-
ful young lady, Of the Anna Held type,
and her act Is styled after that OF Cis-
sic LOTUS. Her limitations were very life
like and received with much applause.
but the big hit of her act was the imita-
ton OF a German scrub woman. This lat
ter was funny beyond description. and
the audience laughed until they were
tired. Charles and Minnie Sa-Van gave
splendid acrobatic act, Miss Sa-Vans
work being truly remarkable in the diff
flculty OF the feats performed and the
grace in which they were executed. while
Mr. Sa-vans was as funny as ever. 9th

OF commendation were Hollis and How

Joe" Saunders and Ned Singleton. Mr..
Giltether has very adequate conception
of the part OF the rough but true-hearted
miner, Joe" His Interpretation Of the
part brought out all its really fine points
and though there are temptations to over
90. yet Mr.. Gilfether never yields to them
and his work is ever interesting and never
lacks In force. Mr. English did some very
clever work The part Is not as impor-
tant as that OF Saunders, but there are
some interesting bits of work neverthe-
less
James A Nuno was admirable as the
early day candidate for office and speech
maker Arthur Rutledge was acceptable
as Matthew Brandin. Edward T. Nagle's
portrayal OF the we'll known character
of Josiah Scrogg. the smooth villain who
never forgave or forgoS. was a capital bit
of work In the murder scene and in
the last act he was particularly good.
Frank Kendrick was inimitable as Wing
Lee This character is really one Of the
best in the play and as presented by Mr..
Kendrick was full OF unforced fun. Con-
stance Hamblin played the part of Posie
Pentland In a manner that could not be
improved upon. and her love scenes with
the major were indeed amusingly carried
out.
Ruth ,Macauley's presentation OF the
character OF Mary Brandon was full OF
earnestness and strength. II was a care
ful bit OF work. too. and Miss Macauley
won merited approval for the manner in
which she acted the very strong scene

Douglas as the younger sister was very
pleasing and interesting. Mark Harrison
left nothing TO be desired as the lover
OF Grace Brandon.

rest Of the week and the play and COM
pany are well worth seeing.

INTELLIGENT ELEPHANTS EXPENSIVE
Neither His Ivory Nor Beauiy Add to
His yalna

An elephant does not command the
maximum price because of the beauty
Of his conntenance, the elegance of
his figure, his intellectual endoW-
ments or his size, but because of a
sunny disposition. A mean elephant
is about the most wicked of living
things; sooner or later he has to be
killed usually after he has slain two
or more keepers and done more damage
than he is worth. OF the two animals
of equally good disposition, the larger
and finer commands the higher price,
CT course. but the most magnificent
pachyderm with an inclination for
murder isn't worth as much as a very
common beast that is trustworthy.
Elephants. particularly those of a.
higher degree OF intelligence, seem to
have a certain sense Of justice which
prompts them in some instances to
constitute themselves judge and jury
to execute a sentence against the often
der in n manner which appears to
them fit and proper. Animals revenge
themselves frequently for wrongs they
have suffered. but many interesting
cases of retribution or punishment in
ficted by elephants are on record. The
Asiatic elephant has the well-founded
reputation of never forgetting an in
jury done to him, and it is known that
he often waits a long time for an op-
tportunity to take revenge. One of Mr..
Mains keepers once gave an elephant
sandwich. the butter of which had
been mixed with a strong dose of
cayenne pepper. Almost a month
later he visited tho elephants quarters
again At first he was received by the
animal like an ordinary visitor, but
after a few moments, the elephant
filed his trunk with dirty water and
gave the keeper a vigorous shower
bath. So. It is clearly demonstrated
that elephants with sweetest tempers
have Gays when they seem inspired
by satan. Mains circus comes to Will
mington On Monday. afternoon and
night, June 9.

In a speech replete with humor and
pathos he held his audience SPELL

visit TO his old home where he met the
friends of his youth and looked into
their eyes for the last time, brought
tears to the eyes of his audience.
Then HE broke into a humorous vein.
and told some ofhis alleged expert

paragraphs, he said:
