Bill at Famiy.-The bill for the
first half of this week at the new Fam

sented since the opening of the play

way and is overfiowing with a mixture
of comedy, music and acrobatic feats.
Probably the strongest act is that OF
Seymour and Dupree This is the first
appearance of this team in this sec
ton of the country and they are win
ming great favor. The pair re&urnei
only short time ago from a tour OF
Europe, and while there they played
in only the largest theaters. Mr. Sey-

dancer of rare ability and her cos
tunes in these dances are very beau

accepted with great favor by the pa
irons of the house, it will be held the
entire week. This act closes the bill
at each performance. The show is
opened with the appearance of May

Japs, was added to the bill. Mrs. Mae
