Oscar Hammerstein went Summing last
night. He was among those present at the
opening Of the Victoria Theatre Roof Gar
den, where once on q time he himself was
the impresario Of vaudeville and took q
proprietary interest in the ducks and
chickens.
He wore his hat and pleasant smile.
for having engaged all the tenors and
nearly all the sopranos in Europe and
having spent the day In Philadelphia rub
bing his hands in nice. fresh plaster, he
was ready last night to see son William
take up the policies that have made his
roof garden popular. forgetting Art for the
moment in the reminiscent banging Of the
band.
+ Son William has made one decided in
>novation on the roof. He has added q
real milkmaid to the stock Of domestic
animals. The domestic animals include
q donkey hamed Alessandro. several sheep,
a group Of monkeys, rabbits. goat, two
turkey gobblers Tor maybe one isnt)
chickens. q herd Of ducks. two tropical
birds with silly bills seven or eight feet
long and a COW.
The milkmaid sat on three legged stool
and MIXED the COW between acts. She
got lot Of milk, because 1t was all stage
hand could do to carry the pail up before
the show began. There was fence in
front Of her so that nobody could chuck
her under the chin.
AZ for the show itself. it 10 much like it's
A.. t.
vaudeville, and vaudeville that appeals to
the eye rather than to the ear. The band
is relied on to supply the noise, which 1t
does without any question. There are
many old friends on the programme--the
three Joscarys. for instance. who throw
one another about with comic carelessness.
and Horace Goidin. who can make several
rosebushes grow where one egg grew be-
fore, and Spessel brothers and Mack. who
do indescribable stunts all over the dining
room tables. themselves escaping the fate
Of the dishes by a series Of seeming miracles.
Also there is Goolman's dog and cat
circus, which did not 60 last night quite
according to schedule because one small
yellow and white pooty kitten opposed
its will to one very large man with eminent
success.
The large type on the programme was
reserved for Mile. Alexia, who made her
first appearance in America last night,
with an English vocabulary limited to Il
thapk you, but an array Of prismatically
coldfed gowns that knew no limit. She
is a dancer not thistedown like Genee,
a poetess with her toes, but wild, whirling,
barbaric kind OF dancer, as exciting in her
movements as the raw, blazing colors in
her costumes.
She calls her dance and pantomime THE
She Devil and the Demon" Perhaps Oscar
selected il because the other dancer, a man.
is clad like Mephisto In Faust II would
make an excellent reduction exercise for
Arimondi.
There was another dancing act furnished
by "The Six American Dancers, Sextette
Of Stylish Steppers, which pleased the
audience; and there were the eternal "xylo-
phone experts who played the overture
to -William Tell,' Of course Also there
were others and cool air and big crowd.
It's the same old roof.

tsnts above the age of fifteen wears
were assembled in front Of the local
ShiniO shrine AT the call OF the viii
lage chief. \ thief had been a
ing deprcdations in the local to-
bacco plantations and the chief
sought to discover him. Outlines
Of the feet of all the villagers were
taken on sheets Of paper and then
these We're compared With the racks
left by the thief in the tobacco
fields. Nothing resulted from this
experiment. The next day the in
hsbitants wer, called together again.
A great hole vas dug in the ground
and a raging charcoal fire wss built
in it. All persons present were or
dercd to walk through the fire bare
footed, It being declared that no
person would be burned except the
guilty one. All advanced TO under

Shibsta, a man of evil reputation.
He declined TO trust his feet TO the
red hot Goals. Accordingly he was
arrested and soon confessed his
guilt.
