Opals seem to have outlived the evil repu-

The Observation-Disclosures.

Waldron and Bryants Trocadero Bur-
lesquers will hold the stage at the Empire
all week, beginning with the usual Monday
matinee. The managers claim that their
company is the strongest and most ex-
pensive organization playing the circuit of
burlesque amusement houses and that in
the matter of scenic accessories, wardrobe
and light effects it is in advance of any
of the rest. The opening musical travesty
will be Prince Henry's Visit" with Larry
Smith as Prince Henry and w. NJ McEvoy
in the other leading comedy part. The clos
ing skit is called The School of Love-" and
is considered a very funny burlesque. The
vaudeville olio, between the two burlesqueS.
will present Adolph Adams, an imperson-
ator of famous characters; Larry Smith
and Mamie Champion. in comedy sketch;
Carrie Massoney and Martha Hableman,
vocalsts: the three Herbert brothers, aero

lyon Yonson" comes back to the Park
Thursday for the latter half of the week.
This piece is old favorite. 1t made a
fortune for its author Gus Heege. who
used to play the title role, and it has
been making money ever since its initial
presentation several years ago. Perhaps
the chief reason for its success lies in the
fact that although ii is a comedy-drama
pure and simple, it possesses so much hu-
man nature and so many genuine touches of
sound philosophy that ii appeals TO every
body. The story, as most regular theater-
goers may know, tells of the struggles of
young Swedish emigrant in this country,
who. in spite of his almost. childlike inno-
cence and unfamiliarity with American
manners and customs, finally triumphs over
all obstacles, marries the girl of his choice
and makes lot of money. Nelse Erickson,
who is, as his name would Indicate a Swede
himself, will play Gus Heeges old part of
Yon Yonson. and he is said to portray the
character as well as Heege ever did. There
is a well-trained quartet with the company
