SPANISH VAUDEVILLE
 AT HARDWICK THEAIER
Very Good Performance by Small
 Troupe.

The Spanish vaudeville company opened. it's Phoenix engagement at the Hardwick theater last night before an audience of pleasing size which yOcif- erously demonstrated its appreciation at frequent intervals during the en- tire performance. The company play ed a very successful engagement of several weeks in Tucson and en route to Phoenix spent a couple of nights in Tempe, greatly to the delight of the Mexican and some of the English speaking population of that town. If it receives sufficient support in this city it will most likely continue it's dates here indefinitely, possibly for a large part of the spring and summer season. The character of the per formance is surely a novel one for Phoenix. The town mas been visited occasionally by Mexican theatrical troupes but they have always attempt ed something wholly dramatic that person not understanding the lan- guage could not enjoy in the least. or the performances have been of the na- ture of the cheap Mexican circus which is only a parody on the Ameri- can circus. But the entertainment given by this company is entirely de- voted to comedy and music. For one who does not understand the language much of the comedy is lost for it cos sists very largely of jokes and funny situations. However there is consid- erable character work and the cos tunes and gesticulatiOns afford con siderable amusement even when an understanding of the words is impos
 sible The music however. is quite pleasing regardless of the words, for the acting that accompanies much of it is explanatory and the airs are pret-
 ty. Though the singers are not of national reputation they are fairly good, some of the comic and sentiment
 tai operatic selections being excep- tionally well rendered, and appealing to the same sort of an audience that would enjoy English comic opera. The acting is better than that presented by many Englesh speaking com panies and the continual out
 bursts from those who know the lan-
 guage is proof of the richness of the humor.
 The company is a small one. having eight performers of whom three are female dancers and singers.
 It is altogether a modest Spanish vaudeville entertainment and in the opinion of number of well known citizens wno understand the language. is a very fair one. SenOr Pima, the Mexican consul here. in commenting g
 on the entertainment last night said he had frequently seen the same per
 formance in the City of Mexico and he considered last nights production a very creditable one.
