Mcintyre and Heath, in the comical
musical play, '"The Ham Tree" at the
New York theatre, continue among the
strongest drawing attractions in New
York. In fact, the success scored by
these funny entertainers is phenomenal.
The biggest show in New York at popu-
lar prices, it has naturally drawn large
audiences. but only its phenomenal merit
can account for people being turned away
at every performance. In one of the lead
ing hotels, one evening last week, a gen.
tleman purchasing tickets at the news
stand was heard to say to gentleman
with him: "You ought to see The Ham
Tree at the New York. It's great" "See
The Ham Tree" was the reply. 81 have
seen it four times and I'm going again to-
morrow night. never laughed SO much
in my life" Mcintyre and Heath will
remain at the New York but short time
longer and all who want to see the fun
NEST show on earth should not miss it.

ger will present at the Broadway theatre,
New York, George Edwardes' company
from the Apollo theatre, London, in the

The coming appearance of Mr.. Elwyn
Strong, in Robert Louis Stevenson's mas
terpiece, 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" at
the Auditorium. Burlington, this evening,
promises to be one of the most pleasing
theatrical events of the season. The pub
lie has been given comedy and melodrama
in all their different phases until they are
worn and tired, and it is indeed with
pleasure that we announce the engage
ment of this sterling actor in play of
real merit. Very few are the people who
have not read this wonderful book of Ste
venson's, and dramatization that is cor
rect in every detail, with a competent
cast of actors, electrical equipment and
scenery, we are sure will be warmly wei.
coined by the theatre going public AL
though "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" was
written some time before Robert Louis
Steyenson's death, and was from it's pub
location considered literary masterpiece,
it has never been so popular and widely
read as 1t is at the present day. In select.
ing a dramatization of this wonderful
book for the tour of Mr.. Elwhn Strong,
Mr.. Dave B. Lewis has shown an excellent
insight into the want of theatrical pub
lie. The parts are all in the hands of
competent actors and an excellent per-
Torrance is assured.
The Joe Weber All Star Stock Com
panY will appear for limited engage
ment, beginning last evening, at the
Chestnut Street Opera House, Philadel-
phia, presenting the two laughing and
musical triumphs, which for more than a
year packed the cosy little Weber Music
Hall, in New York city. ''Higgledy Pigg-
ledy" and 1.-The College Widower" A
glance at the personnel of the company is
a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of
the performance and the promise that it
is three hour laughing spell. Headed
by the quaint and foremost of German
comedians, Joe Weber, the cast includes
such names as Marie Dressler, Trixie Fritz
ANA, Bonnie Magin, Erminis Earle,
Edythe Meyer, Chas. A. Bigelow, Sam
Collins, Ernest Lambart, Edward j. Con-
nelly, and Sam Marion, supported by a
company of more than 100 people, and
the prettiest, best singing and dancing
chorus to be seen anywhere. The Weber
shows have always been famous for the
beauty and sprightliness of their choruses
but the sixty girls who form the ensemble
in "Higgledy Piggledy" and "The College
Widower" are without doubt the .liveliest
and prettiest Mr.. Weber has ever sue
ceeded in securing. Both ''Higgledy Pigg-
ledy" and the college Widower" are the
joint work of Edgar Smith and Maurice
Levi, who have accomplished much in the
line of musical farces and satires. Mr.. Smith
has written every success Mr.. Weber has
had in the last ten years, and as librettist
he stands alone as having never met with a
hits in the two pieces which have become
popular from ocean to ocean, and from
the Gulf to the northland. In order to
accommodate the hundreds of out of
town patrons the curtain will rise at
eight o'clock sharp.
MRS. Temples Telegram" which will
be the attraction at the Burlington Audi
forum for one night only, Thursday, Oc-
tober 26, is said to be without doubt the
most emphatic comedy success of the sea-
son. 1t is described as a farce wholly
clean and free from suggestiveness. being
more than mere framework for
laughs, having a bright and entertaining
plot which must be seen to appreciate it.
There are stories within stories and lies
upon lies which make this play one grand
battle of mischief from rise to fall of cur
tain. 1t is as symmetrical as Moliere
comedy and as rollicking as Hoyt farce.

ent there is a big demand for tickets.
