Amy Stanley's pickaninnies are a

snake are shown by William Alexis
in a combination of steps and con-
tortions done with Della Schell.

AUDITORIUM

The title of this weeks bill at
the Auditorium, "The Education of
Mr.. Phipps," sounds rather tame
in comparison with the real merit
of the production. The piece is a
comedy drama portraying the trou-
bles of an American millionaire
family, the maternal head of which
is intent on marrying off her daugh-
ers to titled foreigners. There is
sufficient plot to the piece to main
tain a keen interest in it's final
termination, but the humorous side
of the play is its most commend
ing feature. In this respect it is
one of the best put on by the
Shirleys. Miss Jessie Shirley as
Julia, one of the Pipp girls from
Pittsburg, makes the most of a
part that does not bring her tai
ents into play with usual force.
Jack Amory seems at home in the
character of Mr.. Pipp, the million
aire. Mrs. Pipp is forcefully por-
trayed by Miss Laura Adams.
Howard Foster as John Willing,
and Charles e. Gsnn as Gerald
Fitzgerald, furnish the heroes. Miss
Ethel Won Waldron as Ida Pipp,
and Miss Anna Cleveland as Lady
Fitzmaurice, were in favor Thomas
Hefron, the new man with the
company, made an ideal villain in
the part of Count Charmoral.

quality is offered this week. The
most attractive probably, from an
artistic standpoint. Is the Hawaiian

tunes and native, songs The music
of the islands is the music of the
tropics. The Four English Bellies
make up quartet of handsome
performers in singing and dancing,
with acrobatic features. Maddern

novelty in the act Of Ching Ling

to sustain the popularity of the

THEATER
SPOKANE

After witnessing Teddy Webb's
performances at the Spokane with
the San Francisco Opera company
playing "Fantana" last night one
wonders what Teddy's possibilities
would be were he full grown as
the average man. He isn't quite
the whole show, but he's the axis
around which the others revolve
and the magnet of attraction. 1t
isn't SO much that the part Of
"Awkins," the valet, is so funny,
for Teddy was funny even when he
wasn't saying or doing thing, but
just there. OF material assistance
to "Awkins" is Jessie, maid, a
part taken by Amy Leicester. Fred
Shook as Commodore Everett, Eu-
gene Wiener as Lieutenant Sinclair
Warren, are excellent performers
and singers. The part of Henry
Pasdoit, bogus count" is well fill
ed by Frank Bertrand. The best
voice in the company is Mabel
Day, who played Fanny Everett,
nick-named "Fantana." Her en-
deavors were thoroughly appre-
ciated. J. Russell Powell as Mar
quis Kioto, Charles Browning as
Fred Everett, Ruby Norton as Elsie
Sturtevant, Jeanette Lowrie as
Anita, Partisan actress, are all
good. The chorus is small but of
good voice. Fantana" is the bill
