ACROSS the Pacific"

Charles e. Blaney's stirring military
play ACROSS the Pacific" is drawing
well at the Bijou this week. 1t Is melo-
drama of the ultra-sensational type, with
the requisite number of thrills in every
act and with the smell of gunpowder per-
meating all. 1t tells of an interesting
love story, and appeals to the spirit OF
patriotism that animates every American.
There is plenty of comedy and some good
specialtles.
The dock scene, showing the departure
of the transport CITY of Pekin." loaded
down with Uncle Sans soldiers, bound for
the Philippines, is one of the best on the
stage. Then there is battle scene in
the Philippines, showing a small body of
Americans defending Block House No.
against the enemy. This is where the
real Calling gun is used. When the
smoke of battle clears away the Stars
and Stripes fly in the breeze. The usual
performance will be given tonight.
Next week the Bijou will offer Hanlons
popular "Fantasma," one of the best
known stage spectacles at present before
the public. The original Hanlon's will
appear in leading roles.

"a Corner In Coffee"

Mr.. Tim Murphy on next Tuesday night,
at the jefferson theatre, will present "A

charmingly played by an excellent COM

trayed by Tim Murphy and Dorothy Sher-
rod, and a caste specially chosen by Mr..
Murphy with regard to his or her fitness.
for each part, promises to make a most
pleasing and satisfying performance.
brilliant play is often ruined by a poor
company, which accounts for that feeling
of disappointment that one often ex-
perences on seeing a much heralded New
York success. 1t takes an actor or ac-
tress of high ability to play the leading
part in play of high ability. and actors
of that class can seldom be induced to
leave New York unless they are starred
or featured.

At the Majestic.

Gillian and Murray, the former a
miserable coon. and the latter an up-to-
date man about town, present a sketch
at the Majestic theatre this week the best
features of which are the singing of
southern melodies. The impersonatlon of
the negro by Gillian is very laughable.
He claims to be the Man What Am"
and is always lnquiring from his partner
and the audience: Are You An EllI?'
He is one of the funniest black face
comedians seen this season at the theatre.
Other amusing features of the bill are
the acrobatic work of Rice and Elmer,
and Bert Howard and Leola Bland in
their playlet, "A Strange Boy" introduces
situations that keep all in laughter. For
entertainment on instruments Of differen.
sorts the Esterbrooks have few equals.
Eldridge, the san man. is wonderful. Miss
Leona Bland in a single character act is
making a hit at every performance.
At the performance Saturday night Eli

aster in the New York harbor, in which
over one hundred Sunday school chill
dren lost their lives some years ago.
