The eXtraord- mary success she had achieved i'll Madam Butterfly and Naughty An thony" had prepared patrons of the Jacques for q surprise in the matter of real comedy acting, and they have cer- tainly had it. She is quite the clever lest comedienne that vaudeville has vet brought us, and no matter how high expectations may be raised, she always more than realizes them. Her 'comedietta. 'tBillie's First Love-" has a Imost interesting story that is worked out through q lot of most amusing de tail, and in making it a success Miss Bergere receives capital assistance from Menifee Johnstone and Belle Stoddard. The Jacques ought to have a record breaking week with Miss Der gere, as the headhner, and there are some indications that it will. The rest of the show is capital too. and has lots of comedy, the acts being pro- vided by the famuos Onri Family. Lar kins and Patterson. Claudius and Cor bin, Barry and Halvers.

And as she heard her face became
very pale. her large eyes grew dim and

with the pain of a too intense joy. She
lifted her head. and all the unuttcrable
love she bore her country and her peo-

voice:
"Frenchmen, that was nothing!"
That was all she said. In that one
first word Of their COMMON nationality
she spoke alike to the marshal OF the

cross that had been the dream Of her
years since she had first seer the
