Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Vaudeville patrons in this city were never more satisfied with a variety show than they are with the bill at the Jacques this week. There are features on this bill which ap- peal to all. William J. O'Hearn &
 Co in "A Romance of Killarney" is
 a charming little classic and gives Opportunities for splendid acting. en- ltertaining singing and beautiful ls.lnery. Jack Lorimer, the real iScotchman, with his gorgeous dialect
 and his Highland kilts is one large
 hearty laugh. He's a happy funny
 man; he smiles and the house smiles
 with him. Gertrude Mansfield and
 Caryl Wilbur present "61 Prospect Street" which is mirth from begin
 ming to end. Miss Mansfield is the
 surprised and amazed mistaken girl and Mir Wilbur appears in the dual
 role of the sedate clergyman and his sporty brother. The Belong Brothers
 do bicycle balancing act which
 beats the most daring feats of the
 circus ring and Le Dent is the only
 man in the world who can juggle
 nine balls at one time. Jean ArdeIl and her Inky Dinks, Bissett and MiI- Ter and the electrograph complete the excellent bill. Popular prices. Tel. l090.

EAGLE HALL PICTURES.

''The Pork Butchers Nightmare" is the feature picture for the moving picture and illustrated song perform ance at Eagles hall for Sunday night. This subject is a series of the most comic pictures imaginable. It Die lures the dream of a hard working butcher, who imagines all kinds of things. He sees hams. sausages and bolognas issuing from the ceiling and jig about the floor. then disappearing into a cloud of smoke. Then a num- Der of men appear who resemble the swine and take the butcher to a den where there is nothing but swine. The climax comes when the swine to he killed on are put into a machine and when turned out 1t all appears in the form of sausage. hams and bolognas. This scares the butcher and he pleads for mercy. In the most thrilling part he finally wakes up and goes back to his work. Another good picture vill be The Foxy Hoboes" Eddie Weston will sing one of Leo Curley's selections of this city enti- tied When Tin Man Like Daddy" The slides for all his selections will be new Prices are IS and g cents.
