In the appearance of Allen Sells and
Sheldon Wilson, two Topeka boys, and
Miss Frances Holland, in musical
melange called Much Ado About Moth
Ing" 1t signalizes the appearance OF
the two boys in professional vaudeville.
The act was tried out on Saturday
night and met with such approval
from the audience that Mr.. Kearney,
the assistant manager of the Majestic,
booked it as part of the regular show
for this week. It will now be booked
for the big vaudeville circuit which the
Majestic is on. And there is no rea-
son Why it should not meet with as
much success abroad as it does at home
Tor 1T provides vaudeville entertain
ment OF merit. Both of the young men
are exceptionally clever as fun makers
and in Miss Holland they get some val
liable assistance as she is singer with
an excellent voice and is well equipped
to help them out in their musical COM
edy work. Most of the stuff put on by
the trio consists of Skits from comic
operas and all of their work is exceed
ingly we'll done.
Messrs. Chatham, Cullen, Boland and
Carroll, comprising the Big Four Quar-
tette, have an entertaining act in which
there is lots of good singing and good
fun and they are bound to make a big
hit this week. Then there is Ferry,
the human frog, than whom there is
not a greater contortionist in the world.
that is justified. 1t would seem to be
an absolute physical impossibility for
any human being to twist and turn his
body as does Ferry and there is no
frog that ever lived which can go
through the stunts that he can. Among
the other acts on the bill, each of
which are particularly good and which
go to round out one of the best vaude-
Vile shows which has been seen at the
Majestic for some time, are Whelan and
Searles, who are top-notch entertain
ers with a line of talk and a number
of songs: The Dolleys, twin sisters,
who are clever dancers and singers,
and the Ehrendall Brothers, comedy
acrobats of a high class. Two illus
trated songs are on the bill for this
week. Mr.. Hummen sings with his

gree. The play is filled with the spirit
of youth which is perhaps the best ex-
PLANTATION of its success. 1t is acted by
young men and women, said to be but
recently out of college themselves. They
are still inspired by the ambitions and
enthusiasm which helped them through
school. For this reason playing in
Brown of Harvard is simply living

memories. Mr.. Woodruff himself, is a
Harvard man having graduated with
the class of '9S The story of Brown
of Harvard" concerns a boat race be-
tween the Harvard eight and an Eng
lish crew, the contest taking place on
the Charles river. The climax of the
play is the scene representing the race
in the third act when Tom Brown
(played by Mr.. Woodbury., steps into
the Harvard shell at the last moment
after the strike oar under force of a
plot laid by rascally alumnus, refuses
to enter the contest. The race and at
tendant incidents are said to be the
most skilfully contrived of the many
of this same general kind which have
been offered the public from time to
time At the end of this act is what
must be called a double climax, which
is not only surprising but almost cleo
