VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

@NC'
 Sandwiched between the conjuring novelty of last week and the big cleo uric novelty of next week, Manager Poli has put in an all star comedy show for the present week at the Jacques. It is having its first pre- sentation this afternoon and the laughter and applause of the large au- dience in attendance indicate that it is to their liking. AS a headliner Hal Godfrey and company are pre-
 senting the one act comedy "A Very Bad Boy" This comedietta is re- cognized as a standard headline at traction in all the leading houses and has always won its way in popular favor. It is not likely to do other wise at the Jacques where well played comedy Is always sure of pop ular acceptance. Another very anus ing act is that which Stinson and Merton introduce under the title of '"The Unexpected" It is an inter- change of talk between man and wo- man that seems to border on the 1i- diculously absurd, but is withal so laugh-provoking as to keep the audi ence in ia continual roar, Very live ly, too, is the singing and dancing turn of the Golden Gate Quintet,
 while Nevins and Arnold and the Sey.
 ons likewise contribute to the comedy portions of the bill. The Melrose
