PRODUCING Frederick V. Bowers, the son
writer, and company of fifteen in scene
of melodies popularity supposed to be com
mon to undergraduate life, there will be
} complete change of bill, with Brindamour
''the original jail breaker and king O
handcuff experts, " as the bright particular
star.
Brindamour, who recently returned from
a series of successful exhibitions of his
experiences before crowned and other pre-
cious heads in Europe, is a veritable wiz
ard In freeing himself from the most in
tricate and seemingly secure fastenings.
Not only does he escape from handouts,
shackles, safes, boxes, cells and straitjack
cts, but all Of his feats are accomplished In
plain view of his audiences.
''The Girl In the Clouds, heralded as a
distinct novelty and a spectacle of mark
ed beauty, was its first presentation in
Philadelphia. 1t is described as a wonder
full and mystifying production, introduce
ing many odd electrical effects and fine
musical numbers. to say nothing of the
"girl" herself and a company of capable
performers.
Bargain Mad" is the title of lively
comedy sketch in which will appear Hugh
Stanton, a favorite Philadelphia actor;
Florenc Modena, and small but carefully
selected coterie of thespic assistants. The
plot of the piece has to do with the hui
morous tribulations and complications that
arise in an erstwhile well regulated house
hold, once the good wife contracts the bar
gain-hunting fever.
The popular little comedienne, Marion
Ballou in FThe Little Organ Grinder
under the direction of B. E. Forester,
comes to the Burlington Auditorium on
Thursday, August Is, as Clarice Lyndon,
In new musical drama. Miss Ballou is
one of the most accomplished actresses of
her day and generation, being possessed
of great magnetism, charming personal
ity, and superb emotional powers. She
has long been favorite with theatregoers,
who will be glad of an opportunity to see
her in vehicle which gives her such an
opportunity to display her consummate
art as an actress, as well as her ability as
vaudeville artist. B. E. Forester has
given "The Little Organ Grinder" an ad-
eqaate production. Every scene is mas
piece, and the supporting company is large

One of the most prominent features of
Chas. Fl. Yale's Everlasting Devils Auc-
ton" and, by the way, feature that is
not now presented by any other spectacu-
lar organization, is the transformation
scene. In former years spectacular per
Torrance was not considered complete
without its final scene of transformation
and fortunes as in the case of the original
"Black Crook" THE White Fawn,"
and later in David Henderson's show
pieces, were spent In presenting these
magnificent specimens of the scenic
painters art. OF late years the promoters
of spectacle outside of Mr.. Yale, have
discarded these effective fnales to their
performances, possibly to save what they
consider an unnecessary expense. In any
event, the scene has been cut out in the
majority of fairy productions, with the
exception of the Devils Auction"
Manager Yale, however. has each year
offered his patrons beautiful series of
stage pictures, and in this, the twenty
sixth edition, promises a radical change
from anything hitherto attempted In this
line. The new transformation is entitled
Amor" Love) and is claimed to be one
of, if not the handsomest, mis-en- scenes |
ever presented. At the Auditorium The !
