behind it, a flavor of rustic romance

rise triumphant over frustrated villainy

the hearers quite out of themselves.

At the Majestic.

Bert Levy, a famous newspaper artist,
will be the feature on the vaudeville bill
at the Majestic theatre this week. lie
presents in many ways the most unusual
character on the American stage
Mr. Levy has a national reputation as
an artist. and in addition, he is frequently
invited to participate in the services at
the Jewish synagogues in the cities where
he appears He sits on the pulpit and
takes an active part in the services.
The artist sits at an easel and draws
with a sharp stick on little piece Oh
blackened glass about two inches in
diameter As he draws his work Is mag
nifled 800 times. A spot light Is thrown
on the artists hand and the audience
sees every touch of his pencil on the
original and it's repetition hugely repeated
on the wall of the studio. On the stage
he uses no makeup, sitting before the
easel lust as in his New York studio,
trusting to his wonderful personality and
work to speak for him and he never rails
to make good. His pathetic cartoon of the
, Frisco confederation is one of his draw
ings made at every performance. Out of
a smo1ldering mass of ruins he deftly
draws. line for line, beautiful woman
figure (embematic of San Francisco, and
with uplifted arms, appeals Tor SYM
pathy.
Iorifner tombstone and Caroline Frances
Cooke will present a one-act comedy
Shave For Wife" which abounds in
humorous situations. The scene is laid
in the studio of Tom Dale in New York,
a sister of Alice Dale, interpreted by
Miss Cooke, who thinks very much OF
George Stanton, an artist struggling for
honors. The comedy is written around
the situations and the funny part is
brought out when Miss Dale enters the
studio to find Stanton in the midst of
shaving himself.
Fanny Hatfield and company, known
as the Three White Adonises, will be
seen in statue posing and fancy dances
This is a unique act entirely out of the
usual run of statue posing. The stage Is
darkened and when the curtain arises the
three white figures are seen against
dark background in representation OF
some Of the prominent works of famous
sculpters.
Mile Esmathilde Will attend to the mus
zeal part of the entertainment. She is All
artist in the rendition of classic selections
on the saxaphone and violin. This Is her
first season in vaudeville, hey present

Richard Mansfield acted Peer Gynt'
in Chicago recently for the first time In
English and an unequivoeal triumph was
his portion as actor and as producer. The
morning after the production the box Of
fee was fairly stormed by crowds eager
to get the remaining tickets. Mansfield
had moved the hearts. tiekled the humor,
charmed the ear. dazzled the eve, Toasted
the imagination and infamed the enthu-
siasm of the great first night assem-
blage as he had never before. The crit
iclsms must have bathed the artists am
billions in chaste delight. Everybody said
everything that discreet rhapsody could
lay pen to. peer Gynt seems to be the
greatest achievement the American stage
has known for years and Mansfield has
again triumphed in a new direction.
