At the Gayety.

Comedy music, satire and noveity IS
 combined in the mirthful, melodious con
 coction called Around the CLOCK, Wien
 the famous funmakers, Billie Ritche and
 Dick McAllister, in the leading roles, as-
 sisted by a company of American co1hea-
 ians headed by Mile. Ami Hill The com
 edy will be the next offering at tne cray
 ety theatre, starting with matinee to-
 morrow. Around the Clock is said 10
 be one of the most pretentious shows on
 the stage today. It fairly teens with
 originality which is something requlreu
 in this up-to-date and progressive era
 The burlesque was especially written
 and chosen to exploit the rare talents or
 the Ritchie comedians who became Amer
 lean favorites in an hour in the great
 and inimitable travesty called "A Nlght Tn London Music Hall" This travesty was produced in almost all of the lead
 ing theatres in the United States last sea- son and the performers from acrtsis the sea more than duplicated the1r trluinpns in their native land. This incomparaoie hand of performers have even more lat- itude in Around the Clock than they had in "A Night in London Music Hall" which is saying great oeai. nos have never done better work and are, If is said. certain to clinch their right as favorites of a public that likes 10 be amused in an original and up-to-oate manner. MT. Billie Ritche Is once more to the fore with his wonderful lmper- sonation of an i'll advised, fraiL pleas ure-seeking youth who deviates rom the path of sobriety, MT. Richie makes this part one or the important roles of his sterrns cohi- edv and achieves new laurels as an ln- ternreter of A character entirely novel to inc stage. scene of absorbing inter est is a reproduction of music hall with the conventional boxes, etc., and obara cteristic audience. This occurs in the final act and all the members or the company contribute specialties or somewhat exaggerated but nevertheless entertaining nature. Plenty or songs or the tuneful. clever sort dominate the entire performance of Around the Clock High class vaudeville will be found at the Gayety and an amateur context on Friday night.

 Large and edible fish abound in the streams, but from the naturalsts stand point the wonderful insect world and end less variety of plant life are of the most absorbing interest.
 The next day we got over some bad rapids and sighted two villages of lndi- ans, reaching the second one late in the afternoon We saw 12 rough-hewn canoes drawn up on the bank and knew that there was a large tribe near. Soon we found them, a short distance in the for est, and all of our party disembarked. Men, women and, children came out to meet us, and our visit was exceedingly interesting. Their hair was long and un- kempt, their bodies naked excepting that some of the men wore bark shirts-made of the inner bark of trees, beaten and washed until a fiber mesh alone remains. Many wore nose ornaments which fell over their mouths and interfered some what with eating, and numbers of the women had necklaces made of monkey and tapir teeth drilled and strung on thread of cotton-tree fiber. The women were generally naked, somewhat coquet- tish, and some were fairly pretty, but, like children of nature. they showed no shame of their nudity. Their teeth are even and white, but the skin of their bodies is rough from the bites of innu- merable flies, which they are constantly fighting. The women are entirely subserv- tent to the men, who hunt and fish. The men carry large bows and long arrows with wicked barbs. Some of the arrows are six and seven feet long, and are shot with oOnsidarabI bIa acclIrary Their vision is acute, and the rapidity with which they penetrate the forest Is marvellous, pro- tecting their naked bodies from thorns and entanglements which would prove formidable barriers to the progress of a white man. At this village we made

critics, and, at the same time, it ap- peals with emphasis to those who go to the theatre merely to be entertained rather than to study the subtleties of dramatic art.
 The Morrison version of Faust" ad- heres consistently to Goethe's familiar story, but its treatment Is said to be great improvement on any that is seen in opera or drama. The details are told by the Trenton (N. J.) Ameri- can, which says:
 Faust" the beautifully poetic com position of the master-genius Goethe, was enthusiastically received at Tay- Tor opera house last evening.
 Gifted with the fundamental requisite of a rare stage presence, Miss Morri- son gave thoroughly realistic inter pretation of her part, displayed a sweetness of voice information and a perfect spontaneity in her acting, and showed a Marguerite such as Goethe might have conceived in Nuremburg. The climax of the play was reach ed in the death of Marguerite's broth CT Valentine, following his return from the camps to vindicate his sister S honor. In the powerful denunciation scene Nick Stark, as the brother, acted fully up to the requirements. He pos sesses a voice of rounded drama tic 5lTtnStH, WHICH ne GU W1lH lell- ing effectiveness in his admirable con- ception of his lines.
 Edward N. Hoyt, as Mephisto, showed a character of real malevolent mien, with crafty and supremely Satanic proportions. MT. Hoyt presented a devil who does not forget that his purposes are evil. and his intents God defying, together with a mesmeric tinge that hung the part with the spirit of the neither world. Were 1t not for the fact that nonchalant air crept into his work, the part seemed as If made for him.
 The setting of the play was preten- tious from spectacular viewpoint, the mechanical and electrical effects being far more striking than even the elder Morrison attempted. The Brock en scene was a marvel of stage produc- tion. The choir in the play was a capable one, and rendered the musical offering of the incidental numbers with & sweet harmony. The Rosary" as given last evening, proved charming g and sweetly balanced number. The rollicking songs by the student chorus were also of high order.

Thurston, Magician, at the Bljou.

Far and away from all the usual dra- matic and musical novelties that have been presented tbe past season in Bir- minghan, and different from anything else to be seen here this season, and the only organization of its kind touring the country the Bijou offers, commencing Monday, Thurston, the greatest magician now in America since the retirement of Kellar.
 His company contains 28 members, who are used in the working of his many il- l,sjons and wonderful tricks, and a whole carload of paraphernalia. It is a pro- eramme so replcte with novelty as to sat- fsfy and please the regular theatre-goer and amuse and mystify the most critical and blase of patrons. It can be said with a certainty nothing like 1t will be seen bere again or ever until Thurston returns Rich, elaborate and costly stage settings enhance the value of all of Thurston's s many creations and marvellous stage H. luslons.
 One of the principal features of the en- tertainment Is Paul Kleist the world famed pantominist, who MT. Thurston se- cured for his American tour at enormous cost and for foreign pantomine spec tacular novelty has eclipsed anything like it in this or any other country.
 One of his many eccentric novelties that is introduced In MT. klelsts act IS q whistle which he has graduated to such exquisite shades of expression that he can whistle words and phases to his aud fences as plainly and inteligently as though spoken. He is high-grade solo ist on many musical instruments which he enhances with mysterious electrical effects, making the act one of the most refined, comical and entertaining perform ances of the age. His Merry Widow" comes floating in mid air, and then under the entrancing strains of the fascinating

Rosabei Morrison In "Faust."

Rosabel Morrison's spectacular new
 Faust" will hold the boards at the Jefferson theatre next Friday and Sat urday nights and Saturday matinee. It is said that nothing which has been presented here this season Is more likely to strike the fancy of local the atregoers with greater force than this magnificent revival of play made famous by Lewis Morrison, father of the woman who will be seen in the role of Marguerite. It is an enter tainment that has won the admiration of the most discriminating of dramatic

music she is waltzing around the stage. Amid the noise of cannons and artillery a battleship is seen approaching from the dark beyond, and then in mimic battle gives fight and finally sinks in mid-ocean. These are but a few of the wonderful effects of this noted artist.
 Howard Thurston is one of the few American artists who has appeared before the crowned heads of Europe, Asia ana Africa, having made a complete tour or the world a few years ago, and now that he has returned to his own country, the young magician will be seen in the prin- cipal cities of the United States until April when he will conquer South Amer lea.

exchanges of knives, mirrors, etc, for bows and arrows, necklaces and other curios.
 At the mouth of a small river coming in from the east we came upon tribe of aborgines that proved very interesting. They were a finer set of fellows than we had met before and of a more warlike bearing. The women had their faces and bodies gaudily painted. and two or three were very pretty. This tribe had canoes built of trunks of large palms hollowed out into light craft as shaky as racing sculls. The whole tribe had just arrived from up the river, where they had had a battle with another outfit and were evi- dently defeated, as they were all suffering from spear and arrow wounds and were short of women and children. Some of the women also were wounded. They al- ways fight for women, their object being to add to their chief treasure, their "chi- nanis," as they call them; and it is prob able that many of the women and chill dren are killed. The captured women seem willing to go with the conquerors, who sometimes have two or three wives. We saw no old people, the exposures of wild life and the prevalence of malignant malarial levers which they are unable to combat probably explaining their absence. We could discover no trace of religion among them, nor the slightest evidence of familiarity with civilized life.
