IA Correspondent Of THE New Yora
Evening Mathas the following inter
esting things to say Of Miss Eva Tan
quay, well known in THIS city;
Coming along Twenty.third street ]
noticed a large electric sign reading
.sAil Star vaudeville" and on Lines
below the names Of Eva Tanguay May
Tully 6 Co. and wiHona Winter. Sc
I went in.
To say that the bill presented BY
Manager Harry Leonhardt at the
Twenty:thfrd Street theater IS an all
star one is hardly enough. There were
many stars, but Eva Tanguay optshone
all.
It Is not necessary for managers "a
go to London or Paris to find extraor'
binary attractions to bring to Amer
lea; there are numerous talented com
.edlans and condolences in this coun'
try, and the time will soon come when
some brilliant manager will borrow
the price Of boat or rraln 70 explore
the United states and find out what
we have here,
/ have seen all the European i'm
.portatIons brought to this country IN
the past fifteen years, and have yet to
see a better artist than Eva Tanguay
demonstrated herself to be at yes
terday's performance.
Miss Tanguay bills herself as the
"otiginal sambo Girl and is modest
in her billing, as she is entitled TO call
herself the Worlds Greatest Eccea
trio Comedlenne."
Miss Tanguay sang FIVE songs, each
one better than the other. The titles
were, 81 Don't Care" Success" rag
time" "a Good Fellow" and lone,
ly." Miss TSnguay has the ability to
make a success of her songs without
depending on the audience TO help ner
out, as has been the case with our
English condolences.
Everything about Miss Tangay is
American, her style, manner, cos
tunes, music and her beauty.
With each song she changes cos
tunes without the nve-mInute wait
which has been inevitable with the
English artists. Miss Tanguay makes
her changes in less than half a min.
ute.
When entered the theater every
seat in the house had ben sold, and
after Miss Tangday's performance l
spoke to Manager Leunnardt about the
theater being SO wei filled at this
time OF the year. He said:
"The enthusiasm OF the audiences
here shows that Miss Eva Tanguay is
overshadowing in every way Vesta
Victoria or Alice Lloyd. am delight
ed to know that an American artist OF
her caltber Is so fully appreciated
The programme opened with Wise
and Milton IN songs and dances which
pleased from the start.
Then followed the Chadwick trio,
presenting "For sale-Wiggin' Farm"
a laughable farce, which introduced
Miss Chadwick, who IS the champion
dancer of America. Then came Chas.
semon, the narrow feller who re-
ceived tremendous applause, and he
received the same upon his exit.
The fourth number on the pro
gramme was the appearance in New
York of wnona Gordon Winter, for.
merly of "The Little Cherub" com.
pany. This may be Miss Winters first
appearance, but it certainly will not
be her last, as she has proven herself
a valuable addition TO vaudeville.
Following Miss Winter the B. R,
Rolfe company presented "Ye Colonial
septet." 0 more beautiful musical
act has been seldom seen on vaude-
vile stage.
Miss May Tully and company then
appeared In an original one.act play
entitled "stOp, Look and Listen" Miss
Tuuly's sketch is filed with sentiment
and comedy and well acted by herself
and the members of her company.
The Belong Brothers, cycle equilli.
brists, did very well, although they
had to follow such q cylonic hit as
Miss Tanguay.
The audience was so enthusiastic
that few If any left until after the NOV.
ing pictures, which presented If You
Had a Wife Like This"
tie all the man TO us with tight shoe
laces, so that we might step bravely
out together, side by side, hand in
hand. We need the help Of the men
