neW$ Of tbe Stage

has done but little work along scien- tific linesy and given little thouxht to scientific subjects, the professors bril- |1iant experiments seem like tricks Of iegerdemafn. dazzling by the eaptd succession of things amazing and at first .inexplainable. There is enjoy ment and instruction for all classes.
 Magazines and newspapers have fre- |quent mention of the newly discovered Radtum. scientists are in a furore about its marvellous qualities, Pas tors are preaching about it. and the whole civilized world talking of it's wonders. So there is naturally great interest shown in the forthcoming ap- pearance of radium demonstrator in this country with a supply for exhibf- tion and demonstration purposes
 It will be passed through the audi ence and all given a chance to look at the strange stuff, to see the experi- ments and hear a clear explanation of its almost miraculous properties.%
 Prof. Patty also brings a supply of liquid air and complete Marconi Wireless Telegraphy outfit. with which additional experiments will be given at the Montgomery Theatre Wednesday night.
 
 There may be other Pattis. but the Black Pattf' at the Bijou tomorrow matinee and night aims to be as dif- ferent from them as black Is from white.
 Sissieretta Jones knows her place in the show, and as a star she sticks to arias and roulades of the true Patti type. Even the ballad encores, per- foctly enunciated and sung in prima donna and not in darkey fashion. are all in character. For the rest, she keeps in the background.
 She surrounds hertelf this year with a ragtime musical and vaudeville troupe that is all as full of life as its very last member. Billy Johnson, the big, black. green-eyed cat, who has nine stage lives at his disposal. 'Loon- ey Dreamland" Is an up-to-date com edy and the olio has in Christian and Reed a pair of skaters who wear 'furs and a fan" not to mention also Dolly Gray. the gilded lady cornet, with John Rucker, the Alabama Blossom in the funniest song hit of the genera tion. 'oh Give Me the Leavings." Bob by Kemp in the sweet. swell. Lazy Moon hit. Mattie Phillips "The Un- bleached soubrette" humorous sym phony of rapid fire stage energy in a U Ida Forcen. the pickaninny song and dance moral in the Maids of Timbuc- tco'' a dainty morsei of dance and harmony.

Kemp, Byrd, and Cooke.
 The olio comprises all red hot, swell, and startling acts. Kratton. with his educated hoop. Christian and Reed, Skatorialists, vervalian and Gray, in- The Watts. Sketch Art ists, the inimitable and laugh provoker, John Rucker: the old time reminder of the happy ante-bellum days in the Soutix-the very incarnation of the sweetest harmonies and inspiring dances are exemplified in "Pianta- tion Pastim'es" and the "Offenbach Review" with Black and the entire company gowned in beautiful orea- tions.
 The Black Patti Troubadours is claimed to be the best show of It's kind In the world.
