IMPERIAL THEATRE

The Nightingale Company is the at
traction at the Imperial theatre this
week. and yesterday IL won the approval
OF two large audiences. Two good enter
tainments were given and the patrons OF
this popular house will no doubt be well
satisfied all week.
The company has a very large and at
but little TO be desired. The program is
a fine mixture OF music, comedy and
vaudeville. Some very bright sayings
give the blues a go and the singing and
dancing are well up to the demands OF
critics IN those lines. Miss Annie Yale.

certainly worthy OF her placing in the
show. There are two main parts TO the
show. designated as Americans Abroad
and "Out for a Lark" In the first part
the chief fun producers are Toney Ken
nedy and Ted Evans, and they certainly
make good in the merry line. Some very

ations of Dutch character adds consider
ably TO the fun. Some of the songs by
the chorus are given with q. remarkably
attractive swing,
Or. 8. Gordon. who Is designated on the
program as The Great Vulcan" dis
plays remarkable strength In his lifting
of great weights. and a very remarkable
feat OF his is the lifting 9f horse of
the stage and carrying the animal sew
eral rungs up a ladder.
AS for "Out on a Lark there is every
effort on the part OF the company TO
stage but is forced into action. Kennedy
and Evans do things and the audience
ests wound up TO high pitch OF excite
ment.

westminster THEATRE.

The Greater New York stars opened
TO two large audiences at the Westmin-
ster Theatre yesterday and other than
ona or two numbers In the olto and the
scenery there is but little that gives the
company any license to so great name.
The opening and closing numbers OF the
bill are by no means up to the standard
and from start to finish they are coarst:
SO much so, In fact that the stories ana
Jokes fall fat. In the olio the Buch broth

Howell and Emerson, billed as rapid-frs
comedians and they have few ~iories that
were told long before the Westminster
Theatre was In existence.
.Hoyt and Marion give comedy sketch,
and the Tyson sisters, the latter being
assisted by a half-dozen girls In an act
that Is down on the bill as the Ginger
