New Phillips Has Good Bill.

Lovers of vaudeville will have much
to praise in the bill that is being pre-
scented at the New Phillips this week,
and which was seen by two audiences
of good size yesterday, especially at
night, when standing room was in de-
mand. The performers, almost
without exception, were given a cordil
welcome and some of them were en-
Enthusiastically recalled.
Reilly nd Morgan, who open the bill,
made good their title of wholesale
and retail dealers in mirth and mel
ody," and they set the house wild
with their take off on melodrama.
Reilly is one of the very clever men
who has been seen at this house and
he has much that is new to offer.
Ward and Ward, musical hussars,
were highly pleasing in their turn and
demonstrated marked musical ability,
both on the cornet and on the violin.
Adelyn, wooden shoe buck and wing
dancer, and who also sings, was we'll
received. She dances especially
we'll.
A decided feature of the bill is the
troupe of dogs and ponies under the
direction of Prof. Clark. He has a
very valuable collection of animals
and they are fully as clever as any
ever seen at the New Phillips. Many
interesting and amusing feats are
performed. This is an act that will
appeal especially to the children OF the
city.
Orville Pitcher, as the original
stump orator, presented real novelty
to New Phillips patrons and got a
good welcome.
The illustrated Sings this week,
sung by Charles T. Bell, re Sweet
Adeline," and Kate Kearney," the lat
ter being especially attractive from
the unusually fine pictures shown. The
motion pictures are "A Green Goods
Man" and "A Thrilling Rescue"
Good Bill at Gennett.
There's variety enough for any one
at the Gennett this week. The the
tres return to vaudeville after several
weeks intermission was marked with
the presentation of a first class show
yesterday afternoon. The audience
was well pleased with an evenly bal
anced Observation-Disclosures pro-
gram.
Eske, the mysterious Sphinx Wiz
ard" is about the "handiest" man
with his hands that has apparel at
the theatre in months. He handles
cards, handkerchiefs and other arti-
cles with a dexterity that is wonderful.
His feats are unique and many of
them original.
Burnett and Weyerson, eccentric
comedians, sing and dance but make
a particular hit in the closing part of
their sketch. The male half of
the team assists his partner by illus
trating her song in an unusual and
comic manner. Their singing and her
costuming is good.
Miss Lizzie Weller sings, dances
and plays the piano all at the same
time. She plays with one hand as
others would do with two. She plays
with one hand and one foot at the
same time, and does other tricks.
She is clever for juvenile.
Ernest Renk's ballads are beauti-
fully illustrated They touch re-
sponsive chords. Farewell Molly
Darling" is a soldier song" that is
almost equal to Way Down East
Among the Shady Maple Trees" a
song that appeals to lovers of home.
Roger and French, in "Johnny's
Visit" are among the greatest mirth
provokers that have appeared at the
Gennett
Pero and Wilson, comedy tantominN
lists, have stunt that Includes bar
rels and Japanese umbrellas. They
roll plates and coins about the top of
the umbrellas in a wonderful man
ner, and jump in and out of the bar
rels.
The pictures, Adventures of Hat
and THE Critic" are both funny.
A big cowd saw the bill last night
nd liked it.
