Tickets for the performances next week
at the Shubert, or Empire, Theatre OF MISS
Frances Starr in Belasco's Rose of tho
Rancho were placed on sale this morning,
There is lively interest in the sale as in
deed there deserves to be, for The Rose
OF the Rancho is a most entertaining play
and. in its staging, constitutes an exquisite
specimen of the art of the most expert OF
all stagecraftsmen. The Belasco manage
ment is playing under a handicap in pre-
senting a Belasco play in a house common-
.ly devoted to burlesque, but the great and
widely known merits OF the production VIII
doubtless counteract the effect of this.

Proctor's-vaudevule.

One was beginning to feel a little bit
tired and discouraged at Proctor's Theatre
last night when Miss Irene Franklin APP
peared on the scene. Before that there had
been five or six acts that were endurable.
but not exhilarating, There had beer a fe-
male contortionist, billed as Gertrella. who
was good of her kind, II one liked her
kind. There had appeared Mr.. and Mrs.
Allison in some songs and n bunch Of
nonsense at which ii was a positive labor
10 feel amused. There was an instrumental
musical act. such as one sees on every
w-eli-resnlated vaudeville bill, performed
by a man and woman who teamed MS
Alsaee and Lorraine. There was some
very vigorous dancing by Miss Vinie DAILY,
who has emerged into vaudeville after a
career of some prominence in musical
comedy. Miss Daily used to be with Sam
Bernard. and when Ethel Levey quit the
company. matrimonial and professional, of
George NJ. Cohen. Miss Daily took her
place in George Washington, jr." Miss
Daly certainly can sing and dance 10
lively fashion, and she was more loudly
applauded than anybody else. on the pro-
gram. Then there were Emil Hoch and
company in a farcial skit called Loves
Young Dream" which was q bit fatiguins,
though Mr.. Hoch did labor hard and earn
estly TO Gus laughter as a c~antaukerous
old parent.
But all this, though 1t was really very
good, according to the usual vaudeville
eriteria. was but mere casual preliminary
10 the act Of Miss Irene Franklin. Just
as soon as Miss Franklin appeared every
body began to perk up. Here was a young
woman Of no usual ability and an act Of
no usual vaudeville quality. Here was
something exceptional. The young wom-
ans beauty first attracted one to her, for
she had an undeniably sweet face and
manner. She looked something like Hope
Booth. and she was as gentle and de-
lnurely dove-like as Edna May. But when
she began 10 sing and deliver herself OF
her remarkable studies in expression, ones
pleasure reached its elimination. Each OF
her songs was a study In character. Each
Of them was novel and sung with positive
art. There was one in which Miss Frank
lin impersoaated an enfant terrible play
ms havoc with he big sisters lovemaking,
saat was most clever and ''cnte.' There
was another in which she impersonated a
German girl signing for a lover that was
also very funny and fetching. Then there
was her song, Expression. . In which her
mobility OF countenance enabled the as
tonishingly graphic reflection OF a wide
variety Of emotions In caricature. Though
not the headliner In name, Miss Frank
Inns act vas that In reality. Alone It
makes Proctor's Theatre n place one should
not miss visiting this week. Burt Green,
q pianist Of ability, assisted Miss Franklin.
