There are eight people in this act, and the girls" have been picked from the chorus departments of the beauty shows in Gotham. The critics who reviewed the trial production, declared that the act would be great hit in the popular thea tres. and their prediction, it is said. has been made good by the immense hit scored by the double quartette.
 But this act Is by no means the whole show, for there are others which make strong bids for a hit.
 Bailey and Madison, eccentric grotes- que comedy acrobats, will contribute what promises to be one of the most amusing of the kind that has been offered local theatregoers. Bailey and Madison have been features for the past two seasons with some of the best musical comedy shows, but were induced to accent the circuit of Association of Vaudeville Man agers' houses, which means they origin- ally received a contract for seventy-two weeks of work.
 The Wartenburg brothers, European equilibrists direct from the famous Win ter Gartens, of Berlin. are now en tour over the Association circuit, presenting one an original and novel act They are foot balancers and display wonderful gift of indurance. The act is one of the highest salaried, and Is considered to be drawing card, as soon as it is known.
 Dick and Alice McVoy, a duo of that famous family of fun-makers, will pre- sent their character skit Hogan Alley Kids" Dick McAvoy is one of the best tough boys" the comedy stage knows, and Alice McAvoy is a close second.
 Latimore and Leigh, known profession- ally as that ''mysterous team will intro duce modern conception of the trunk mystery. The young entertainers have perfected the trick that made Hermann famous, and offer a mighty interesting treat of fifteen minutes
 Ernest and Bert is the stage name for comedy duo, that is proficient in par ody singing and comedy talking And the Brownings will appear in a very laughable comedy and singing sketch.
 The bill is going to be right up to high standard of the popular theatre and will serve to interest all during It's engage ment

WHISKY GOES UP 2H CENTS.
Crop of '99 Which Has Been on Mar
 ket Months Snapped Up.

Louisville, Ky. January 1o.-The Herald says: st
 "All new whiskies of the crops of 1899. 1900, 1901 and 1902 were advanced 2R cen'' a gallon yesterday by the local distillers. Whistles of the 99 crop which have been on the market for six months with out a bid being made for them, were snapped up in lots of five and fifty bar rels The scramble for '99 goods was one of the liveliest ever seen in this city. Several distilleries which have sold their product bought it back at higher prices in the hope of still higher prices. <
 "The passage of the outage bill is largely responsible for the activity of the market. For the past six months the whisky market has been in a state of un. certainty. Retailers, rectifers and whole sale houses have bought no more goods than they actually needed for immediate use.
 "The advance caused general surprise, as 1t was not expected to come so soon after the passage of the outage bill, and distillers believed prices would remain stationary for several days. If the de- mand continues a further advance is probable"

 Does the character which an actor por- tray affect his own. personality? On the other hand Is 1t necessary for an actor to not merely assume and feel the personal ity of the role he portrays but also to be sincerely the. character in which he seeks to sway his audience to laughter or to tears? These are questions which find wordy dsputants to take up the verbal cudgal on either side. But if either be truly the case, then is the inner life of some of our stage favorites an open page where those may read who wish. Let us apply the hypothesis, for instance, to Tim Murphy, who Is so soon to be here. Like most artists he leads a retired life. His admirers are legion but his acquain- tances are few.

A Grand SoIoist With Creators.

The vocal portion of the programme when Creatore and his Italian band band comes here will be furnished by Mime. Barili, beautiful woman and charming soprano, with a high range voice of excellent lyric quality. She has been one of the successes of the band throughout its career. The band through out is composed of excellent instrumental soloists, several of whom are famous in Italy. This gives all of the music the best of performance, and under the al- most hypnotic influence of the great con- ductor, some of the grandest effects ever heard in music are produced. Of course the most interesting thing in the enter tainment is the personality of Creatore

 The dramatization is one of extraordi- nary strength and the production pie turesque and beautiful, while the cast, supporting Miss Eleanor Robson, who has the title role is perhaps one of the strongest and most expensive ever gath cred into a single organization.

keIcey 6 shannon,ln sherlock Holme

Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. kelcey 6 shannonsln Sherlock Holmes
 The forthcoming Appearance of Her. bery Kelcey and ,Effie shannon in Will liam Gilette's stage version of Conan Doyles famous detective stories, "Sher- lock Holmes," is ap event of more than passing notice in local theatricals. It will mark one of the important engagements to be played here this season and as such is attracting attention. The engagement morrow night.
 As artists Kelcey and shannon stand at the head of their profession, and have oc- cupied an enviable position among stars for some time. This standing they have maintained by upholding the high stand ard they have assiduously borne and their appearances every where are greeted by those who admire high attributes in dramatic art.
 Sherlock Holmesa has enjoyed the dis tinction of having been played contin- uously for ten months at the Lyceum theatre, London, and for over 300 nights at the Garrick theater, New York and will be presented here with the original London and New York scenic and cleo trical surroundings. Sherlock Holmes " triumph as a play has surpassed his pop ularity on the book shelf, and in the cir culating library. The value that Conan Doyle lent to his detective stories was the charm of humor. The typical detee- tive of fiction always lacked this charac- teristic. "Vidocq' Monsieur Lecocq," I..l.. ..1I Sherlock Homes. however. has a keen sense of the humorous side of things and never takes himself too seriously. Like the heroes in the recent revival of the romantic drama that now prevails, Sherlock Holmes is a humorist as well as a hero. That, possibly, has much bearing on his lasting popularity.
