AT THE THEATER

Delightfully."- amusing were the two
Masons last night in Rudolph and
Adolph." A large audience witnessed
the show, and enjoyed it, if hearty
laughter and generous applause can be
taken as indication. The idea of mis-
taken identity, which is the leading one
of the farce is cleverly enough devel-
oped in series of comical accidents,
and the presentation was snappy and
entertaining, with one or two pretty
women in the cast, some good dances,
and many catchy musical numbers
The best of these were those given by
Mason and Mason in their original
speciality in the second act, beginning
with song Of a football game. and
ending with the rendition in German
of some of the most familiar songs of
the daT. the effect of which was in
describahly funny. The show was all
that it was advertised to be, and
proved one of the most successful of
this years productions.

ginger, absinthe opalescent, Ohio claret,
jaundiee tan and, in brief, the eolors
of the rainbow have to take a rear
seat when brought into comparison
with the multifarious hues of Miss
Reck's hosiery. She is said to be the
proud little proprietor of more stock
ings than any other two actresses, Her
girl friends say that it is impossible
for her 10 pass drygoods store with
out her Unsuitable craving for stock
| ings overpoWertng her, and that she
variably makes a purchase of more
| hosiery.
Manager Ollie Mack fears that if the
young lady continues blowing her
money on stockings that he will be put
to considerable expense paying for ex-
cess baggage on the railroads; and he
has mildly requested Miss Beck to try
to reform and curb her mad propensity
for cornering all the hosiery in the
