usual standard. TFgo brisk burlettas, full
OF music. motion, and pretty girls, and
strong olio with novel features make up

The character songs and costume i'm
pcrsonltioHs Of we'll known actors by
Dixon and Holmes, who are the top-liners
of the olio made . decided hit and the
per roriners earned enthusiastic applause.
The novel and entertaining manner in
which Miss Abbie Carlton presented her
album OF living pictures, which were of
considerable merit, was decided feature.
Dot Davenport was enthusiastically re-
ceived and scored a success with her
songs and dances. Pat White is a come

Nellie McHcnry Presents s.iI'Iiss- at
the Academy OF Music.

Bret Harie's "M'liss'' was presented
last night at the Academy OF Music before
an audience Of generous proportions and
appreciajive tendencies, and 10 all ap-
pearances, the play repeated its success
CT last year, when it was produced at the
Stair house.
The story of the play recounts the
hardships ard innumerable disadvantages
attending lie in little Western mining
colony, and IS replete with thrilling situ-
atiOns and dramatic events which to the
comfortable, plodding Fastener, have
much the favor of romance, but the
author evidently has not exaggerated the
conditions. The play deals with the love
OF VI liss, wdif of the mining camp. for
The schoolmaster, and the many daring
and hazardous experiences through which
she goes in order to prove her affection
The murder OF her father and subsequent
arrest OF the schoolmaster on suspicion
OF having committed the crime form the
two main incidents of the story. while
The schoolmaster's escape from the burn
ing court house" planned and executed
by Mliss. is distinctly thrilling.
Inc iltle role Is IN the capable handS
of Nellie McHenry, who played it here
last year and who scored a distinct hit
last night. Miss McHenry is clever
cor7edienne and her conception of the un-
tanned though withal womanly little
Western product was amusing and inter-
esting. Her entrance with Yuba Bill on
the box Of the old stage coach was pic
turcsque and brought forth a round of ap-
plause. Miss McHenry is supported by
capable company, individual successes be-
ing attained by Ida Rock as Mrs. Smith.

The burlesque on David Belasco's play,
''Du Barry which the author, Bert

of real burlesque that the Bijou organi-

big hit with their very amusing act, and
the sisters Howard-three of them-sing

Fitzgibbon and Mccoy trio in a sketch
called "A Mischevous Brother" score a
success. The ladies' matinee at which
smoking is prohibited is a regular feature
of the BijOu's enterprises.

starting the rooms the desirability Of pro-

the plan Of having members of the club

a day at a time. Although this plan has
sometimes been difficult to carry out, it is
still in force and, for Rochester, is be-
lieved to be the best plan. 1t has had the
desired effect, Of drawing together the
town and country women. A part of the
support NOW comes from donations from
country patrons and from entertainments
given in thecountry districts. There are in

The Woman's club of Rochester was
probably the first club organized in the
state for the express purpose Of working
for various projects beneficial to the hui
manitarian interests Of the city instead
of seif-culture. 1t was organized in 1896
and one of it's first steps was the estab-
lishment of a rest room to provide a COM
Portable place where people might drop
in when in from the country. It was the
first enterprise of the kind in the country
and has been the model of hundreds of
other similar establishments.
Early in the history Of the rest room 1t
was brought to the attention of Mrs.
Charles M. Henrotin, then president of the
general federation of women's clubs. She
was much impressed with the beautiful al
truistic spirit of this work and with its
practical possibilities and she told about
it from one end of the country to the
other In her visits to state declarations,
and also wrote a magazine article about
it. The rest room has. become indispens-
able and is SO much a part of the life
of the place that it perhaps has ceased to
impress those familiar with 1t as any
thing unusual, but strangers are full Of
interest in seeing it and hearing of it's

Announcement That He Will Return
Is Well Received.
The announcement that Burton Holmes
is to give one more lecture in Mime
apolis this season has been received with
many expressions of pleasure by those
who never fail to hear him. He will give
what he considers his best new lecture
next Friday evening, April Is, at PIym-
outh church. Mr.. Holmes is to tell about
Moscow and a Visit to Count Tolstoi.,
Mr.. Holmes found Moscow to be the
best lecture material he had ever dis
covered in any city. 1t is a city of life
and color and pictures innumerable,
where the man with a camera is tempted
always to be busy These facts coupled
with the city's historic association gave
Mr.. Holmes most agreeable field in
which to gather matter for an illustrated
lecture, while his visit to- Tolstoi in his
home at Tula near by, afforded additional
material, with the result that Mr.. Holmes
is able to give his hearers an evening of
absorbing interest
