IN THE VAUDEVILLE HOUSES.

Gilbert MOrice, the manager of the
Star theater, is giving his patrons
treat this week in the way of d pro-
gramme. There is not a single num-
Der during the entire evenings per-
Torrance which does not merit the ap-
plause which is given it by the audi
ence. The number which seems TO
make the greatest hit with the audi
ence is Emil Chevriel in his musical
stunts. he seems TO be able to get
lf7usic out of anything from a toy
pistol to washboard. He starts out
on the classical, finally strikes the pop
ular airs of the day and then just TO
please his audience strikes rag time
with d running start, winding up with
a dull chug and bows himself off the
stage, to return again but only to bow
t0 quiet the applause of the audience
which seems TO want a dollars Aorth
according to the Crawford way Of
measuring it, for the cents.
The crowds which have tested the
seating capacity OF the Novelty theater
ever since it was opened, continue even
though two performances are given
each evening with matinee thrown
in. The little play house which was
started as venture has proven a sue
cess. The programme this week is one
of the best that has ever been seen in
the theater and is greatly appreciated
The moving picture machine seems to
be in a better humor this week than
it has ever been since it has been do
ing business at its present stand The
picture which is being thrown on the
curtain this week is entirely new and
the machine brings out the minutest
details.
