Unique-PoIite Vaudeville.

There is well-balanced vaudeville bill,
full of dash and interest, at the Unique
theater this week.
The strength of the bill lies in its nov
city with the Tennessee trio in the lead,
introducing a variety of new dancing
features and comedy juggling turns. The
young men are natural comedians and
their success is in a large measure due
to this fact They also introduce several
novel acropatic stunts in their number
making the act whole circus by itself.
Miss Evilla Sanford presents musical
novelty act that is far above the average
and her act is entirely too short She
plays the most difficult instruments with
ease. and her selections show excellent
taste.
Miss Eva Lumpkin sings the illustrated
song this week and Burt White has a
monolog that takes well. His jokes are
new enough. but some of them need a
diagram. Annie Leslie Williams has an
unusually pretty number in her German
singing turn Budworth and Wells have
a new version OF DIR. Jekyn and Mr..

Lyceum-"The Cipher Code"

A somewhat complicated but intensely
interesting plot artistically unfolded fas-
cinates attention and furnfshes real en-
1oyment to the auditor at the Lyceum
theater this week. In THE Cipher Code
Ralph Stuart has chosen to present a
comedy drama of more than ordinary
worth. Written by Charles Klein, author
of the "Music Master and 1.-The Lion
and the Mouse this weeks Lyceum pro-
duction shows the touch Of a master
hand both in line and story. 1t abounds
In dramatic situations, bristles with
action, and the authors brain chiilren
think, and talk and move thru the intri-
cac1es of the story with a genuine nat
uralness that makes complete Illusion
and compels admiration. Thru and
around and above the rest moves a
love motif, beautiful and predominant.
The story revolves around the plot to
bull the stock market by the
use of a forged statement of the
president Of the United States. The
scene is laid in Washington and the char
acters are men and women prominent in
Social business and official life of the
capital city. The predominating influ-
ence is that of James Kelso, the clever
gentleman adventurer who instigates, and
with perfect precision carries out criminal
schemes, but who in the last analysis
spurns the cowardly baseness of his con-
federates who would impicate an limo
cent man to save themselves. and rises to
height of unselfishness that few of the
plodders in the straight and narrow
path ever reach. The intricacies Of the
plot prevent it's being detailed here, and
the weakness of the play-from the stock
company house point of VIEWS that it
| requires a little too careful attention Its
intensity, however, seems to counterbaI-
ance this, and the Lyceum audiences so
far have demonstrated their power of
concentration. The play is produced in
the carefully artistic and thoro fashion
that have made Mr.. Stuart's previous eff.
forts here the subject of so much favor
able comment. :
AS James Kelso, Mr.. Stuart ESSAYS a.
role different in conception and inter-
probation from those in which he has
hitherto pleased Lyceum patrons His
| forcefully artistic and depressed methods
are, however. no less effective as the
Washington swindler than they have been

MetropoIltan-"The Serlo- Comic Girl"
In spite of the best efforts of an able
and Woodworking company to make
something Of the piece, THE serio- Comic
Girl at the Metropolitanv for the first
half of this week, falls below the. stand
ard of the theater. Once failure, al
ways failure, Is truth that has been
proved on the stage and 1.-THE Serio-
Comic Girl' is no exception Cecilia
Lotus failed to make, a go of the comedy
from which the present one has been
taken, and 1t is wondered. that Frank
Howe, Jr., had the nerve to send out
company in face of the fact that such an
able Coincidence as Miss Lotus could do
nothing with the. piece. p 8, .,-s.
The Serio-Comic Governess" was the
title Of the original comic opera as It is
rated. Since Miss LOTUS gave it I'D an
effort has been made to improve It, The
result has been the Interpolation of sew
eral coon songs and other incongruities
that make it "a most peculiar conglomer-
alton of Irish, English, American and
nameless ideas. No doubt it is better
than when it was ~perpetrated upon Miss
LOTUS, but still 1t seems shame to see
such able persons as Richard F. Carroll
and Nellie Beaumont and the ambitious
company that supports them, wasting
their talent on 1.-THE Serio-Comi Girl. !"
The brightest spots in the production
are those In which Mr.. Carroll is the Gems
trail figure. He is an excellent comedian
and but for his" droll-work~ an audience
might well have grounds for demanding
the return of admission fees Miss Beau
mont sseizes. every. one of the few oppor-
tunities that the lines give her for pleas
ing work, and deserves praise for her sin
cere effort to manufacture cause for ap-
preciation.s The same energetic spirit is
prominent In the entire. company, and
with a better piece they might stand high
in the opinion Of both critics and theater-
goers. . .>5% = =r5:@..
= The original idea, which is credited
the irony of the word-to Israel Zangwill,
is not a bad one, and might provide a
nucleus for an entertaining piece There
is a semblance of plot-probably more
than in the average comic opera. The
piece has a villain and true lover who
throws said villain thru a door. .. -,
One of the novel features, and which In
dicates that the chorus has ability de-
serving of better material, Is the SON
brero song in the last act. The lasso
work is new feature, and the man who
gave birth to that idea deserves half the
scanty praise Israel Zangwill may obtain
from the piece. There are several other
good songs, evidently hurled into 1.-THE
Serio- Comic Girl in an effort to brighten
it, as carelessly as oil would be poured
upon smoldering enlbers to produce a
blaze. E. c. H.
