Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Why is it that the work of Miss Jo- sephine Conan, who is leading the bill at the Jacques this week with Will Cressy's sketch, Friday the Thir- teenth," makes such an impression on the most blase theater-goers? Any one who has ever seen her can answer the question without a second s thought It is because her dancing. singing and general manners are diff ferent from those of others. The dane ing is the essence of grace and deli. cate charm, the singing, which Is neither remarkable for quality of voice nor extent of range Is given an inde- finable personal touch that more than makes up for vocal deficiencies, and the general manner is one of the most perfect winsomeness. These qualities so peculiarly effective to an audience were never better displayed than in the comedietta which Miss Conan with the assistance of Horace Powers and Robert Chatterton, pair of excep- tionaly clever players by way of no harm, and the great hit the offering has made is solely the result of merit. Of the other attractions on the pro gram nothing but the most just praise can be given. Naida, the nymph oi the air. as skilled toe dancer as any ever seen here. has an act of surpass- ing beauty. scenically and from terp- sIchorean standpoint, and with her as sIstants. one of them a tiny tot, exc cutes a series of difficult and trying dances. Fred Niblo has won every ones regard with his monologue com edy. which possesses the rare combiI'- ation of real wit and cleanliness. Ca ron and Farnum. comedy acrobats. are another team that have gained popu Iarity hy their efforts. The three Yves tons are contributing musical act which unites artistic merit with genu inc ability and their part singing Is we'll worth special notice. Murphy land Andrews with melange of har- monIous and conversational nonsense and Rita Farnum In wooden shoe Dutch speciality are by no means in- significant factors In the bilTs success. The electrograph pictures are unus- uaIly interesting and prices are 10. 2p and a cents: afternoons 10 and 3p cents, ladies i0.

yNTHEN Katherine came back to the WV dinner table after answering the telephone she looked so sober, es- pecially in contrast with her previous high spirits, that the family resolved itself into an interrogation point at once.
 Harry cant come for me-" she said slowly. ..
 "Is that all? Thought there must have been death at the very least
 No, that's not all. He very ldni- iy provides me with an escort, and that escort none other than MT. Ran. dolph Payson."
 Well, what's the matter with MT. Payson? I thought he was all right?''
 That's just what's the matter-hes 90 invariably and provokingly all right He's perfect paragon of pro- priety, and shall be sure to do some thing to shock him. I've half mind not to go."

 Yes, that's another thing. Some one has failed him at the last minute and he wants me to sing another I hate these concerts for the benefit of some thing anyway; they're always in some stuffy hall, and there's never decent piano"
 Well, dear" said her mother, sooth. ingly, you must just do the best you can. I can't imagine why you feel SC about it. Most girls would be delight ed with Randolph Payson as an es' cort."

The story of The Great l Am." which will entertain the patrons of Polls tomorrow night, opens at q charity bazaar given by Justin Wright" the owner of large depart ment store, to which he has invited all his friends including Bella Lander and her famous show girls from the Hip Hurrah Gaiety Company" whom, however, Justin introduces to his friends as Madame De vought," the great missionary to the Zulus. Mean while Justin" is greatly exercised over the fact that he has received sev- eral threatening letters, and has ca bled to Scotland Yard for famous de tectiye and secured the services of Bud Weiser,' a retired pugilist, to protect him until the detectives arriv- al. Bud" makes use of the old mans nervousness for his own benefit: for 'tise he that has sent the threatening letters. "Justin's' son, Lester, who has aspirations to become a great nov elist, reads letter from Bella's broth CT suggesting several changes in his bloodthirsty story This letter falls into the hands of the detective, who at once jumps to the conclusion that there is conspiracy to kill Justin" and straightway tells "Justin" that it is his own son that is plotting for his downfall: Justin" discards his son, and to celebrate the event invites all his friends to his department store to attend big bargain sale. When they get there. they find that all the girls are on strike. so "Justin's" friends all volunteer to take their places: of course this naturally causes mishap and many funny situations evolve.
