 During the week just closing at Jacques the theater goers have seen one of the most sensational acts now on the variety stage. It is the sharp shooting by McCrea & Poole, and is down on the program for the first number. In this act Frank McCrea who is now the champion sharp shooter of the country and one of the ablest men in the world with a rifle displays much skill and clever ness. The shots he makes are really amazing and the audience looks on in perfect wonder. Mir McCrea has for his partner Roy Poole who also displays much nerve, he actually risks his life at every performance standing with glass balls on the tips of his fingers and a wreath of ten or twelve balls on his head while the |sharpshooter shoots them off one af ter the other with great rapidity. Another close shave for MT Poole is when he holds pipe between his teeth and allows the rife man to shoot 1t off part by part until there is nothing left but butt which is less than an inch in length. These are only few of the many stunts. Mir Poole can show many scars of wounds which he has received but he has never had any wounds which he would consider as dangerous. The couple have been in vaudeville for the past three years and have met with great success, they started out from Pittsburg and have travelled over the greater part of the country travelling from Maine to California. At present the team is billed up to August of the present year.
