VAUDEVILLE.

Miss Valerie Bergere in "A Bow cry Camille" has aroused much in terest this week among theater- goers. The little playlet tells a very absorbing story and is especially we'll played. Miss Bergere plays the role of a street waif who is takel from her poverty to become an artist model for a struggling painter. The artist falls in love with the girl, but his marriage to her is opposed by the artists mother. She pleads with the girl to give up her son and tho heart-broken model finally consents and tells the artist that her love for him has been but a sham. Heart broken and weeping, she leaves the studio, while the artist is reconciled with his mother. Miss Bergere is supported by capable company. De Witt, Burns and Torrance have T pleasing novelty act in "The Awak ening of Toys" and Happy Jack Gardiner, the Misses DelmOre and several other acts complete an eX' cellent bill.

the difficult part and plays it we'll. The butler, feels sc very important and so anxious not to lower his dig
 nity that his love for the tiighty, spasmodic, Patty causes him much trouble. Miss Luke is a sweet old lady and proves to have greater love for her nephew than her cats. Miss Bryant, Miss Rogers and Philip Royson are three hearty, wholesome young people, full of the joy of liv- ing, and Miss Helene Cecil Futile, under whose direction and training the play was given, made no mistake in casting the parts. The grand finale of the yacht race, when MT Bob wins in Philips boat, leads him to offer the boat and "the owner that must so with it''' to the charming MT Bob. The setting of the stage was extremely appropriate and pretty, for no room is more livable than an English breakfast room, and this one with its books and pictures and royal portraits means little visit to the old country just for one evening.

HAPPY HOOLIGAN."

The announced attraction at Polls Saturday afternoon and evening is the ever popular production of the musical farce comedy, Happy HOoli- gan's Trip Around the World,' which comes to us this season as an entirely new production, embellished with new and tasteful scenery, and costumes of richness and value that are entirely beyond anything ever before seen in musical comedy. As the costumes and scenery are new, 50 are the special ties, music. dances and ensembles. The r,t!rr production has bee:. made by the management glittering and gorgeous spectacle and no expense has been spared to have everything of the very highest class. There is a cheer fitness and gaicty about Mir Opper's genia, Eoho which, when put into dra- matic form, makes his influence well nigh irresistible. There are no dumps, blue devils. vapours, megrims or hypo- chondriasis in "Hooligan's Trip Around the World" Instead there is life, all acrity of spirit and pure hilarity. i Popular prices.

There's not a dull moment in the brilliant perform. ances. The curtain goes up prompt ly at 8 D. m. and until II it's one continuous, fast and furious rush of mystery and fantasy seasoned with delightful comedy. Popular prices.
 "WILDFIRE."
 It was not a large audience that greeted Lillian Russell and her com pany in her new racing comedy ''Wildfire," which was presented at Polls last evening. There have been worse comedies played before bigger audiences It is not society com. edy if one may use the word in that sense, but it was filled with clever work and there was scarcely one mo, ment when the people who were pres ent were not given good laugh. Nat urally being racing comedy it had few coarse spots and yet those were tempered off in such a manner that they really hit the audience w!tf perfect satisfaction. Applause was plentiful so much so that at the end ing of the second act, there were SC many curtain calls that the count was forgotten. It was a splendit company that was associated witf Miss Russell and there was not { poor character in the cast, if we may except Charles Arthur as Ralpl Woodhurst Boyd Putnam, Mis- Russell's leading man in the characte of John Garrison gave a splendit rendition of his part. One funn! little character in the comedy wa that of Bud, the stable boy, playe' by the chubby little Will Archer. Int comedy evidently was satisfactory t the majority of those present for the, applauded at every opportunity.

 The features of the dinner were speeches by Senator Knox himself and Representative Burke, his political manager. Burkes speech will be pub lished in pamphlet form and circulat- ed throughout such states as might possibly be brought into line for Knox.
 In his speech Senator Knox said: "For the too generous words of com mendation spoken of me tonight per init me to thank you all most sincere ly. AS to the suggestion of possible higher service for the future, that suggestion must rest upon such foun- dation as my public record and the wishes of Pennsylvania Republicans supply. l wish I could feel as certain of the value of the one as feel gratl- tude for the confidence implied in the other"
