American vaudeville performers have
many a hard row to hoe Cn the continent
of Europe when they venture across
seeking music hall fame. according to
George Meers, of the Three Meers.
II have never found an English mana
ger who has attempted to repudiate his
business obligations or in any way tried
to break his contract. No matter what
kind of a bargain he may possibly have
made, there is no caneeling or changing
of dates, and salaries are paid on Satur-
day at 1 o'clock moon, and in some in
stances after the show on Friday night OF
the week of the engagement. In most re-
spects their business principles are above
criticism.
But on the Continent the reverse of
all this is frequently true-yexatious po-
lice restrictions, insane rules originated
for the purpose of assessing fines, double
meaning clauses in contracts that are
impossible of accurate translation, no con-
tract being made in good faith, all being
full OF catch phrases a1d flaws. 1t seems

The really excellent bills Of vaudeville

stage of the Bijou Theatre thus far this
season bid fair to be completely ecl'psed
by the array of headliners that will fur

At the Lafayette Square Theatre this
week the Bellows stock company Will re-
vive one of the most brilliant of the long
list of the Augustin Daily comedy sue
cesses, THE Great Unknown" The piece
was adapted from the German Of Schoen
than and Kadelburg, who have contributed
so many successful comedies to the Ger
man stage. AS an adapter Mr.. DAILY
achieved quite as enviable reputation as
he did as manager.
The Great Unknown" was first pro-
duced October %, 1889, and the cast was
an unusually brilliant one. 1t brought out
the full strength OF the great DAILY COIN
pany, then in the very zenith OF success.
1t included James Lewis, John Drew, Sid
rey Herbert Tom Cronin, Ada Rehan,
Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Isabelle Irving, Mrs.
C. II. Gilbert, and Adelaide Prince.
"The Great Unknown" is brilliant in
dialogue, and the situations are ludicrous
in the extreme. The parts are claimed TO
fit the individual members of the stock
company like the proyerbial glove, and
the revival of the comedy here ought to
prove exceptionally interesting.
Large-sized autographed photographs
of Katherine Field will be presented to
each lady attending THE Great Tn
known" tomorrow night and the Satur-
day afternoon performance.
In the production for the first time in
this city of "A Gamblers Daughter" at
the Academy of Music this week, People
who care for melodrama are promised
good entertainment.
This piece is said TO fairly bubble over
with "neart interest" and appeals
strongly to the emotions of the audience
from the first rising of the curtain to
the close of the performance. 1t strikes
all the sympatbies and responsive chords
of the human breast and the spectators
follow the fortunes of the beautiful hero
inc, the daughter of a gambler, who is
also a Chicago Board of Trade member,
with much interest.
The interpreting company includes some
well-known and popular players. The
leading woman is Elsie Crescy, who, al
though young, has already won iCr her
self prominent position upon the native
stage, and for whom several 'ritics have
predicted a brilliant future other uem-
bers of the company are Camilla Crune,
Edna Browning, Frank E. Mitchell, Zoe
Farnsworth, c. o. Goodrich. Charles \.

others.
