without a single sketch, but with a
minstrel show, troupe Of trained dogs

The Ministries are of the feminine va

The maids were the hit of the bill they
headed at the Orpheum two years ago
and have been gaining in popularity
ever since.
A passing fair portion of the same
popularity was gathered in by Ethel

Good conversational comedy general

A Notable Dinner Speech.

1t is not often that one is invited to
such feast of wit, humor and philoso.
sphy IN post-prandial speech as. was
served up to the lawyers at their ban
quet last night by Mr.. Hume of Texas.
mr.. Hume responded for the young
lawyers, and assuming to be one Of
them, he was able, from that vantage
point, to throw out some hints as to
conduct to the old lawyers, the middle
aged lawyers, to all the lawyers. For
half an hour his wit sparkled while
his humor circled and eddied about the
assemblage. It was like surf bath,
first the tingling of an epigram, then
the surge Of an enveloping wave of fun.
1t there were any genuine young law
yers present it must have appealed to
them no less than to the older fellows,
VINO look back to the time when they
existed "by presumption of the law
and when their chief function was
to grow older.' The trials Of the
young lawyer were pictured in the
phrase "faith, hope and charity
which were interpreted to be, faith in
the law, hope for the dulness Of Judges
and charity for the older lawyers who
had all the business.
Mr.. -Hume's speech was an illustra-
ton OF that kind Of preparation which
often accounts for young barrister
winning his first case from a practiced
hand. 1t left nothing to chance, yet
with the art of concealing art, had all
the appearance Of a. spontaneous effort.
After-dinner speaking is not yet a
dead practice in America. Indeed it
is a very live one. AS people we
like it, but while we like it we dread it
from the knowledge that where four
or five are gathered together to speak
one may be depended upon to read his
speech, another to forget what he
came to toast, another to speak for
some time after he is done and still
another to trust to the moment, to
throw him a line with which he may
draw himself from deep waters. All
OF these things, evidencing lack Of pre-
paration, detract from the enjoyment
OF the function. Every possible pit
fall of the after-dinner speaker was
before the Texas representative last
might, but skilfully he avoided them all,
taking his audience with him from
kpoint to point in a state Of mental ex-
shilaration and never letting them down
to the dust Of the commonplace nor Of
Tending against taste in a single allu-
sion. Voice, gesture, diction, all COM
bined to make the speech unit. Mr..
Hume's speech will appear in full in
the Sunday Journal. -.

Ou1Que 1uedG6I-
The Unique family theater submits
a big show next week. Commencing
with matinee performances Monday af-
ternoon, two important European acts
will be features, in addition to one Of
the best all-round vaudeville bills of
the season.
The banner act will be offered by
Albini and company, the magicians,
cry known to eastern orientals. Albini
claims to possess knowledge which the
great Hermann never knew. and enough
information concerning bright tricks
to make Kellar sit away back.
The next headliner is Lizette s troupe
of trained poodles and cockatoos,. one
of the most expensive animal shows on
the road. This is one of the prettiest
and showiest acts in the business, &C
cording to eastern managers, and Of
especial interest to women and chill
| dren.
Emile Wait, the pretty Boston girl
who sings catchy songs and talks en-
tertainingly; George Hillman, the vet
eran German comedian who has made
people laugh for twenty-five years, and
other good performers will be in tho
new bill.
Irene Little, the popular little song
stress who is in great favor with Unique
audiences, has been engaged for an
other week. New motion pictures and
| the latest amusement ventures in the
picture line, will be featured at every
performance.
The Sunday performances will in
clude all of the big acts which have
won such favor during this week.
