Burlesque at the Empire.

James Hyde always furnishes an enter
tainment pleasing to lovers of burlesque
and the reception given his blue Ribbon
Girls Burlesquers" at the Empire yesterday
rousing one. For originality of his
productions Hyde is always at the front,
and this year his show begins with the
Blue Ribbon Minstrel Girls" an act
which is one of the best now on the bur-
iesque stage.
The act is a counterpart of one which
experienced successes on the Eastern vaude-
vile stage, and shows the dressing room
of a theater and the minstrel girls MAX
ing up in black face for the show The
setting is the old-time minstrel kind with
the necessary interlocutor and end men.
AS interlocutor Miss Pearl Bradburn makes
the best of Fields, Primrose and Vests
and other aggregations look to their lau-
rels. The end ''men, Emma Krause and
Margaret Rosa, know well how to handle
the tambo and the bones, but their jokes
make one think of a revival of the minstrel
show of twenty years ago.
The olio of the Hyde show is, perhaps,
one of the best seen at the Empire this sea-
son. Leroy and La Vanion, comic gym
nasts, give performance on the horizontal
bars well worthy the vaudeville stage.
Coke and Hayes, with their bunch of non
sense, The Capt&in and the Kidder," keep
the audience in an uproar, and yesterday
at both performances they received encore
after encore. w. III. Ward and Pearl Brad
burn do their share of the laugh-making
with German songs and dialecr Orth and
Fern play the piano well and sing new
songs. Their comedy is much better than
that usually found in the average Empire
musical act.
The Five Flying Banvards place an as
tonishing midair act upon the stage. A
marvellous piece of trapeze work is the
double loop.
The Hyde show closes with a roaring
burlesque on "The Sultan of Half Moroc-
CO." The people who make up the olio are
the stars in the burlesque, and all are good
at fun making.
