It was a pretty sight and the effect was most pleasing. Then the singers in that first

That inimtable come dian Neil O'Brien was just as funny and perhaps little funnier than ever. He always seems to strike some funny song, that just fits him to 3 nicety and last night was no exception.

The act act that in vaudeville barley "broke up the show" last evening was that contributed by Fred Sos man, the dress suit singing comedian. Sosman, who looks like some class" in a hobby looking evening suit, sings half dozen songs in dialect, My Brother Sylvest," being among the number. Last evening Sosman was compelled to make speech, dur ing which he mentioned the fact that he had heard a person had to have ''it'' to make good in this city. "The Chalk Line" sketch from the vi!- lage, as enacted by Harlan Knight and company, is an interesting play let. Other numbers on the pro- gramme are Bert Kalmar and Jessie Brown, singers and dancers, and Irene La Tour, who is chaperoned by her dog, Zaza. More than ,000 peO- pie were turned away from the the ater yesterday.
