The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1907-12-10
Theatres.

At the Forrest Theatre, Philadelphia, this
week novelty and newness in Advanced
Vaudeville will be the vogue inasmuch as
two new acts, both of unusual merit, will
be presented, and the return of several
favorites will make program of general
interest. Heading this bill is Fred Niblo,
known as 'The American Humorist," and
considered the most finished refined and
best monologist on the vaudeville stage to-
day. Mr.. Niblo, who, with his wife,
Josephine Conan, has just returned from
a trip abroad, where they visited foreign
lands, as far as South Africa, will give a
comical version of what he saw while
abroad, Americanizing and bringing the
talk up to date. Josephine Cohan and
company will offer for the first time on
any stage a dramatic novelette, called
The Girl of the Times" in which Miss
CohaD appears in the role of a reporter for
the paper by this name, and in trying tc
get data for story breaks into the apart
ments of rich bachelor who catches her
in the act. This brings series of compli-
cations which result in some clever and
dainty comedy. The playlet is from the
pen of Fred Niblo. By special request
Cinquevalli, the juggler who has made
Philadelphia talk as it has never talked of
an act before, returns for another week.
j. W. Winton, the English yentriloquist,
comes with new line of comedy and
eccentricities familiar to this line of work.
This artist is said to be in the same class
as Arthur Prince, who created such all
furore here earlier in the spring. Vasco,
the mad musician, who, with his complete
scenic environment, gives novelty 10 the
way of handling intruments, plays thirty
two different selections on as many differ
ent instruments, and his work has receiv-
ed the most favorable commedation ever
accorded an artist of this character. Col |
Inns and Hart will be seen in a monologue
both novel and new. Alexandra and Ber-
tie will introduce their new actrobatic fea- |
lures, and the program will be closed by a |
brilliant equestrian act introduced by the |
Cottrell-2owells, formerly with Barnum |
& Bailey's circus. A new picture made
expressly for the Forrest will also by |
shown.
The success attending the production |
Of ''Zaza" by the Orpheum Stock Com
pany, at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, last week, has prompted the |
to continue this emotional |
drama as the attraction for another week. I
This necessisated the postponement of |
The Prodigal Daughter" This stock |
production of ''Zaza" has been pronounc-
ed by all who have seen it, as one of the
best the city has ever seen. Lillian Law
renee in the title role, has scored one of |
She hits of her career and her portrayal of |
he character compares favorably with the
performance of Mrs. Leslie Carter In
one act in particular, Miss Lawrence
reaches her height of emotional histrion-
SIN and throughout the play; she lends a
lew charm TO the trying role of 'tZaza."
The support she is receiving is excellent.
Alexander Frank, who was especially
to play the part of "Dufrens,
IS giving splendid tone to that thank
ess role, and Robert Cummings as
'Cascart, " "Zaza's" singing partner, is
winning additional laurels as a clever
character actor. One of the hits of the
how is made by Airline Gardner, the
pretty little Philadelphia girl, who is
,laying the part of "Toto," ''Dufrene's"
,hild.
