VAUDEVILLE.

Twill I ever be president of the United States?" asks Tramp Gardner, of the team Vincent and Gardner. in the sketch Winning Queen" at the Jacques this week. Il should say not. I'm a democrat" The jest alone and the manner which accompanies it. is worth the price of admission to any one who likes bright things smartly said. The act is filled with just such bits of humor which with the uncom- mon idea of the skit tends to make the twenty minutes the number runs most enjoyable. Mir Gardner's char acteriZation of a wearied tramp is an excellent one and the surprises which follow one after the other all during the performance are unusual enough to satisfy anyone. The singing hon ors of the bill go to HOlcOmbe.
