At THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Gennett.

luite an entertaining and renned
program is provided in the vaudeville
bill at the Gennett this week and ii
was opened to an audience of liberal
size last night. To many, no doubt,
the bill will appeal more than any
that has been presented in recent
weeks. One of the numbers that is
much out Of the ordinary for vaude-
vile bill, at least in the houses that
charge but ten cents, is the vocal
work of Miss Dorothy Aldonne, pri-
ma donna, who appears to great adj
vantage in both simple and dificult
selections. Miss Aldonne has a wide
reputation as a vocalist and it is only
tention to vaudeville. Her press no
tees show that she has sung in con-
nection with many notable musical
events and that she has been accord
ed high praise. Other numbers on the
program this week are Dil1a and Tenn
pleton. clever young equilibrists and
contortionists; J. G. Pope and his
dog, Uno, the dog with the human
mind; the Tianita Midgets, vocalists
and dancers; Casey and lie Clair, r.
ish character artists; Ernest Renk in
illustrated songs and the motion pic
lures. One of the pictures THE Train
Wreckers," is especially interesting
this week.

Tim Murphy appears to have
found another success in his new
comedy, Rufus Rugg" which he pre-
sents at the Gennett on Friday even
ing and to have again selected a role
that fits his own personal peculiari-
ties to a nicely, for he is appearing in
a delightfully."- droll characterized of
an Indiana School Teacher-a man
with limitless fund of vita kindly
lovable disposition, and self-sacri-
f1cing nature that endears him to all
with whom he comes into association.
Such role is within the line followed
so successfully by the late Sol Smith
Russell; and in such characters Tim
Murphy is today the one and only dis
tinguished exponent.
The Little Egypt Company.
songs, lively dances, pretty girls and
good wholesome comedy are among
the features with the Little Egypt
company booked for Friday night at
the New Phillips. This organization
is quite familiar one and has always
been noted for the breezy style of en-
tertainment 1t provides. Two burles-
ques are given the first being styled
"A Rialto Rounder" and the other
Gay Girls of Paris" Both coceits
are replete with many laughable stu
atoms and musical numbers. The cho-
rus will display some. elaborate cos
tunes in addition to appearing with
Little Egypt in big dancing number.

PERTAINING features and especially with
the comedy element. Charles Kenna.
presenting his original specially, 1.-THE
Street Fakir," made a decided hit. He
has all the arts Of this at his fingers
ends and he has monologue that
keeps the audience in constant
laugh. Black and O'Brien, who were
substituted on the bill for the Four
Grohs, appear in black face and have
the liveliest stunt Of the kind New
Phillips patrons have ever seen.
Mitchell and Browning have a novelty
comedy that secured them abundant
applause. The Valpos furnish a nov.
city musical act and some slight of
hand and the Keeey Sisters sing and
dance. Two Illustrated songs are
given and instead of the usual mo-
ton pictures the Hooks and England

films show the various great shows of
the country, including the old time
Barnum and Forepaugh aggregations
and the chief features of the Main
and Ringing circuses, and Buffalo Bill
and Pawnee Bill shows, also scenes
from the Durbar of India. There is
a change of program nightly. The
week opened with liberal patronage.
