VAUDEVILLE.

In spite of the wretched weather conditions the first performance of the present weeks bill at the Jacques
 was greeted yesterday afternoon by an audience that taxed the capacity of the house to its utmost. Those who hiavcd the terrOrS of the outside world felt amply repaid for their ven
 turesomeneSs by the high character of thr program. which is headed by Gardner and Vincent in an uproariouS- iy merry sketch. Winning q Queen"
 There never has been an act presented at this popular play house which com- parrs with it in point of surprising features. There is something new and something doing every minute the Sklt iS in action and the moving pie turc of the tlamp'S introduction into heaven changes the performance from q simple variety sketch into d finished
 Not less successful than the hcadinrr was "A Winters Session. the funny singing turn introduced by Holcomh. Curtis and Webb.

T.ALMA MINSTRELS

There'll be many funny things said at the Talma Club mnstrels, Thursday evening February 23. The clubs lyric writers have prepared bright verses of local application for many of tue songs. It is said that the local traveSty on certain features of the city'S public life will be brighter and even sharper than the smart satire of last season. The club will hold rehcarsais every evening until the night of the per
 formancc. The costumes for the big overture have arrived and it is said the color scheme of white. rcd and gold makes an elaborate stage setting. The management has decided to sell the gallery seats at ? cents each.

present in Polls theater last evening to witness the production of the musi- cal comedy. "Rice's Merry shop Girls" which is really the English musical comedy. "Mr WiX of Wickham." Those who were present were not very strenuous in their appreciation of the comedy. There were several bright numbers, but as a whole the piece is not satisfactory. Claude Radcliffe as Mr Wix was amusing and created the most interest by his dancing. Our old friend, David Litbgow. was as usual clever aDd the others in tue cast did very well. The comedy was beauti- fully staged. but there is something lacking to make it comedy that will enjoy d long journey.

POLI'S
HENRY MILLER.

Clcverness is the hall mark of all Henry Arthur Jones plays and "Jo- seph Entangled," in which Henry Mil Ter appears at Polls tonight, is no exception. Like ''rhe Liars." the story has its rise iu the efforts of two inno- cent people to explain a situation wbich is itself entirely proper under the circumstances, but which is con- str,lad amiss by two scandal mongers of the smart set in which the cbalnc. ters move. Lady Nerona Maync and Sir Joseph Lacy accidentally meet at the town house of the former when both arc supposed to be out of the city. Neither knows of the presence of the other until they meet at breaf- fast. when they are disturbed by a pair of busybOdi1> who call. and who. noting Sir Joseph and Lady Verona together, withdraw to spread the story. lnasmuch as Sir Joseph is an old flame of Lady Mayne, her llus- band. when the tale reaches him. takes it seriously and proceeds to rage and threaten divorce. After various consultations with friends the inter- ested parties are brought together. The husband, overlrearing a conversa- ton between Sir Joseph and Lady Verona, realizes his groundless ieal- nuSy and apologies to both and is re- stored to marital happiness. Mir Mil Ter assumes the character of Sir ,Jo- seph Lacy and Miss IIilda Spong that of Lady Wayne. The company also embraces Miss Electra Rule. Mrs Mag gie Holloway Fisher. Miss Laura Crews. John Glendenning. Walter AL len. Frederick Tyler. Frederick Tiden. J. Hartlev MennerS. Stanley Dark, Rartram Harrison and Frank Willard. Prices are oa. 70. 73 cents. S1 and $1.50.
