GOOD SHOW AT McDoNALD's.
Gagnon-Pollock Company Begins
 Weeks Engagement.

The Gagnon-Pollock Stock Company made good last night in its first perform ance at McDonald's Theatre. The bill which the company presented, and the specialties combined, establishing new mark of merit for popular price organt- zations.
 It can be truthfully said that the com pany exceeded all other popular price or ganizations seen here. It pleased big audience, an audience that had gone there with no other idea than that the company presented the mediocre perform ance of a 10, 20 and 30-cent aggregation This audience which crowded the house to the doors received the company's first bill with enthusiasm.
 It was not so much the play, "The Side walks af New York; nor was it the specialties alone that pleased the large audience, but the combination of the two made the performance a thing to be enjoyed.
 First of all in merit was a sensational cycle speciality called 'the cycle whirl. !" The act Is done by two expert bicyclists on a cup-shaped track made of slats with wide interstices. The slats were placed, 1t is said. at an angle of s5 degrees. and they looked fully that steep. The circle was said to be thirteen feet wide at the bottom and seventeen feet wide at the top The Castellanes gave a daring and startling exhibition of break-neck riding about the cup. The act aroused the en- thusiasm of the audience.
 The play is a strong melodrama with a full equipment of knives. pistols and hairbreadth escapes An entertaining love story runs through it and there is a large estate in a fair way to become tho spells of the villain but in the fifth act he was finally outwitted and triumphant virtue came into its own
 It was we'll presented. The company a'- together is strong but it has it's weak members Some undeniable talent was dis played and all in all the presentation of the play was good.
 Bert Gagnon is the particular star of the company He presented Bud Brady, a Bowery tough, and did it we'll He gave the part an Individuality and originality that called for and received applause
 Another good bit of character portrayal was the eccentric but pleasing work of Allan Ramsay as an aged lawyer.
 Jack Ferguson portrayed the hero in a manly and convincing manner. He has the advantage of good stage presence.
 Edith Pollock played a Bowery girl cleverly and in an interesting way. She showed herself the possessor of histri- onic ability above the average.
 The illustrated songs were decidedly good and the dancing was equally meri- torious.
