The first stellar engagement Of Elsie
Janis in this city is announced for the
next week in 1.-THE Vanderbilt Cup
Miss Janis has all the arts of the sing
er, the comedienne and dancer, and best
of all is her initiative gift, she captured
New York and Chicago instantly, and
was received during long runs in both
cities with the widest enthusiasm.
1.-THE Vanderbilt Cup is all automo-
bile play, or more properly the space
killing motor car is the pivot around
which the action moves.
The great race is the chief incident of
the third act with actual 80 horse power
cars, colored landscape panorama Gre
ates the illusion of road burning and as
thriller it stirs the audience to hyster-
les. Aside from this race there is
sufficient number of good features to
keep the stage lively, there are whirl-
wind dancers singing fashion plates,
sextet of homely danes, fat and funny
comedians, quartet that sit off in dark
corner, a she villain that is too sweet to
be devilish, hero who can reach high
c., and other equally interesting charac-
tiers. Among the songs are 1.-THE Little
Chauffeur, Somewhere in the World
my Houseboat Beaux', The Light that
lies in Girlish Eyes etc.
