came from Belgium to California fine
large photograph OF Maeterlinck with an
inscription I'm the poets own hand: TO
the women OF America, with the compli-
ments, etc. etc which indicated that the
author supposed the club to be the repre-
sentative organization OF its kind in the
new world
Now, it so happened that the husband
OF the president Of the women's club was
the foremost grocer OF the town, and he,
having got a touch of the Maeterlinck
fever by association, conceived the idea
that he could use the photograph TO
great advantage In advertising his 0usi-
ness; so. by fair means or foul, he gained
possession OF the treasure. and the next
morning the portrait was seen in his win
dow supported by boxes of breakfast foods
and hanked by tins OF sundry sorts Of
vegetables. Thus was one OF the very
first lkenesses of Maeterlinck that came

OF the many different kinds OF acts
offered in q vaudeville entertainment the
kinds which most appeal to Providence
vaudeville devOtees are musical and
comedy acts. And the musical acts, TO
appeal particularly, must be OF the bet
ter grade which is probably the reason
why the Three Dumonds, Partisan street
singers and musicians, are so well liked
The men OF this trio formerly belonged to
an orchestra that was very much In de-
mand by the New York smart set, but
like everything else, they were discovered
by vaudeville managers and induced TO
enter that field. in which they have re-
manned ever since. They are at Keith's
this week.

and best liked blackface monologue come

az Keiths, and very welcome one, for
he always brings with him new con-
giomeraton OF amusing anecdotes and

Robbins, Circus Has "Banda Rosa,

Among the many numerous char
acteriStics which have secured popu.
larity for the Frank A. Robbins
Circus is its musical department. Its
several hands are not "wind jam.
mers" and creators Of noise, but they
play strains Of popular melody and
classical music, so as to favor the
patrons of the circus with high,
class musical entertainment.
Prof. Frank Gregory's Famous
"Banda Rosa" of IS artist musi.
clans are capable of entertaining the
most critical concert audience. SO
far superior are they to the ordinary
travelling show brass bands that it is
remarked upon by novices, as well
as by musicians.
For forty minutes preceding the
two performances to be given in
White River Junction Monday,
June IS, the Banda Rosa will play
grand high-class programme of
eight numbers. 1t is advisable that
patrons of the Frank A, Robbins
Circus should go early, so as to avail
themselves of the opportunity of
hearing musical treat free Of any
extra charge.
