Majestic Theatre.

Herbert and his troup of trained dogs is the chief attraction at the pop ular Majestic Theatre on Commerce Street this week. The other two acts are also good.
 Herbert and his dogs are truly mag nificent. In all thereNare thirty of the prettiest canipes that have appeared on the vaudeville stage in long time. and they are splendidly trained. The dogs seemingly are anxious to do their part of the show and appear to appreciate the applause which invariably greets their appearance.
 The act comes to Montgomery by special arrangement. It Is not on the regular Majestic Theatre route. but In order to break the long trip from New Orleans to the Eastern circuits. stop was made in Montgomery for this week. The act did not appear on Mon days bill on account of the fact that 1t was necessary to give a Sunday night performance in New Orleans. and when the troup arrived in the city Mon day night with the car load of appar- atus, the animals were too tired to give their usual performance.
 Of the other two acts, Cora simpson in a monologue does some creditabis impersonattons of characters which are we'll known types in the different sections of the country, Her perform- ance was well received.
 Laurens and Sylvester in their nov. city singing and dancing act are good. Their clog in wooden soled shoes brings repeated encores from all of the audi ences to which they have played dur. ing their stay in the city,
 The bill Is concluded with moving pictures which are exceptionally clever and entertaining this week.
 After every performance of Herbert and his dogs. which will bo ct the end of every show, every lady and child in the matinee will be invited to come back of the scenes and meet the dogs. This invitation will be given at the end of the matinee performance only.

.'The virginian." Owen wister's very charming novel in a dramatized yer sion. was presented at the Grand last night to thoroughly appreciative audience.
 w. s, Hart. as The virginian, was entertaining with his unusual inter pretation of the role, which has been seen here before with Dustin Farnum in the part.
 The supporting company. with Frank Campeau. as Trampas, was equally as good as the one brought here by MT. Farnum. Leo Delaney. the original shorty was a particularly pleasing feature.
 Miss Anne Meredith. as Molly Wood. was rather spiritless in her interpre, tation of the role, and suffered the handicap of ha~ing her blue skirt sag on her in the second act. The Vir. ginian" will not bear repetition year after year. for the reason that its ac- ton Is too intense and well-remem- bered without the merit of high iite- rary perfection to sustain 1t. Hence, the small audience last night. Three. year intervals will make Tho Virgin ian" houses better.
 Cyril Scott in "The Prince Chap" will be at The Grand tonight.
