"Coming Thre, the Rye.o

In Coming Thro' the Ryen the Rork 1 Company served collation. theatrie at the Grand last night that was mas | terpiece of the musical and fun mak- | ing chefs art. There was no verdict | of it Is the best" 1t was an acclaim that Frank Labor headed the best musi- cal. attraction of the season.
 In selecting the components of this delightful concoction of bubbling fun, Hsparkling repartee. tinkling and sono- | rous music the projectors lost sight of | no condiment that might add flavor. | Frank Lalor's fun was garnished with | Miss Sallie Stembler's breeziness and | splendid vocal numbers; there were i've and twenty chorus girls" baked into the pie. half score of splendid | soloists as piquant sauce. and after the 1 crust of A. Baldwin Sloane's musical melange had been spiked down George l Hobart sprinkled the whole with the very salt of his wit
 It was beautifully set in both epoch l of the action of the story. and there Is q story and clever one; brilliant In | the dialogue, convulsing in the com Nedy. beautifully sung throughout, l splendidly drilled. handsomely cos- tuned and right up to the minute.
 It had, viz, Frank Lalor. My, but how that fellow can slip the fun to you. So easy like. Not Wrinkle in his chin comes out of time and not twinkle of his eye is left loose when there isn't bit of a jest; and Sallie Stembler. beautifully voiced. charm { ingly attired, and excruciatingly la Mrs MaIaprop; and Fred L. Tilden, pol ished. speaking to the sixteenth of<a second in time, barely ke9ping the cockney from his< English. but alto getherS a polished son of the tight lit- tie Isle" and Eveleen Dunmore. charm Ing in every physical perfection and habiiiment, with a soprano, of remark able power and sweetness; and Isabelle Lowe. a pretty doll, entrancing with her juvenile song effect; and a chorus that seemed to have been sorted from all the many dashing misses that throng the Great White Way" and, perhaps l.not the least of any stage manager 4 that had the clucks going all the while and hustled everything along until the audience fairiyAsighed with delight. A | groat dish, in which those not men, tioned in the above recipe need not feel slighted that they are but the pastry to the pot.
 Last night was not the first time. this piece has been seen here. Last season it made a distinctive hit but the com pany has been rejuvenated since then. There were more pretty girls, there were more good voices, there was bet ter scenery and Frank Labor was fun nier.
 Labor. lHsve's the comedian that gets down to the heart of the humor and applies 1t so smoothly over ones risibles that it leaves that glow of hap piness and content without the ex- haustion of enthusiasm. It's the hu- mility of Sol Smith Russell's humor and Dave warheld's magnetism of facial expression Clancy" sung by MT La- Tor and a .raala. oh orus. was not per mitted to be finished until eight en- cores had been responded to.
 The best of Miss Stembler's work
 -1-t. md I.owe's "My Broncho Boy" was also charmingly rendered. Miss Dunmore sang That's What Rose Said to Me- in such, captivating manner that she was forced to respond to several en- cores She has ample opportunity In this selection to display the marvel lous power and sweetness of her voice. | All of the other numbers were eS- ceptionalIy good. and there are few who will not join in the general yer dict,
 at the Grand tonight.
 At the Majestic.
 Before three audiences which packed the little Majestic Theatre to It's full capacity. and then some more, the troup of tight wire equihbrists the l three Famous Troubadours" and Els worth and Burt in their comedy sketch, "Home, Sweet Home, proughI | encore after encore Every one or those who had to stand all through inc performance in the crush in the aisies felt amply paid for their ineon- venience.
 The Christmas bill put on by the popular playhouse was good. as those who saw the performances will testiIy, but the attraction booked for this week by far surpasses anything of the skind ever seen in the city. Every act lis a headliner in the real sense of the word, and the combination will doubt less continue to draw standing room only signs at every performance dur- ing the enga cement.
 The first act on the bill. is "The AL pine Troupe of Five. These people ] are remarkable. Nothing oT the kind has ever been attempted before, not even in the circuls were feats of dar- ing and skill are highly prized. These five people on two tight wires are seemingly as much at home as If they had the board of the stage under their feet instead of a thin wire. They do cake walk, dance jump over tables, 7. walk on one foot. and run or walk as it pleases them. There's something do- ing all of the time, and not once does the audience hold its breath fearing that some accident will happen.
 The Three Troubadours have ap- peared in Montgomery before. and yes terday drew many encores Their voices are good, and their selections attractive. At all three of the. per formances yesterday they weTe re- called several times.
 The comedy sketch which concludes the vaudeville bill, is very amusing. It deals with the husband who can not say a kind word to his wife, and the method she employees for his subjec- tion. The skit is good and well de- serves the applause which it received.
 The bill is concluded with the nov ing pictures. A good lot has been
 a of the chief attractions of the Majestic. The bill will be repeated three times a day throughout the week, with the l exception of the moving pictures which will be changed every day!
