Tales of Theatre.

People who patronize entertain
ments of the type suggested by the
American Burlesquers. the offering
last night at the Illinois,
have, as a rule, no occasion to frown
if their higher sensibilities are shock
ed. The show i'm particular, however,
transcribed anything i'm the line of
stage productions seen in Rock Is
land before, both in dialogue and sit
nations. Ii was an exhibition of the
lower depths of obscenity to which
creatures of either sex could descend
AN aggregation of foul-mouthed
and vulgar-acting men and graceless
women. In the performance were
two vaudeville acts introducing such
clever team work as to afford a sad
commentary on the associations with
which genius may be thrown in CON
tact before the footlights. The per-
Torrance. taken as n whole. was one
of those exhibitions of dcgeneracy
hat fortunately are few.
To the credit of the theatre man
agemcnt. he il said, that when il
learned of the racy character of the
show, notice was given to the at
taches of the house to admit no la
dies TO the performance.
