 Frank A. Ferguson, who will present his famous. spIaylet. "The Acc of Trunnps," at this Theatre next week. has contrib uted some of the finest one- act dramas ever seen in vaudeville. Rose CoghIan. the distinguished dra- matic star, has played in the Ace of Trumps' for several seasons, but her engagement this Fall with John Drew has caused Mir. Ferguson to engage A.,. 4a. e.. merly played by Miss Coghian Miss Woodward is beautiful woman and talented actress, who. has .recently-re- turned from England. wh ere she has been presenting her musical hmeio-y drama" in vaudeville. Miss Wood- wards appearance in The Ace of Trumps" has received the. greatest praise, her acting being of tie highest order. The actress has brought over several stunning Paris gowns which are the delight of feminine auditors.
 LaPierre, AGhristiani and Joyce. trio of musicians have a musical ofrer- ing that they call The Devils Orches- tra." and In this production several high-class numbers are introduced. MT. LaPierre is noted as versatile actor and contributor of stage articles and musical topics to the magazines. He is author of several dramatic sketches, but as pianoforte virtuoso and operatic vocalist he is unexcelled and has an international reputation. Court Fritz Christiania plays cornet. banjo, mandolin and gives an excellent imitation of -wheezy old church or gan. Col. James A. Joyce has a na- tional reputation as a cornet soloist, and another big feature of this act Is the magnificent violin playing of Count Christlani The trsvesty part of this performance is highly entertain ing. and 1t can be confidently predicted that this trio will produce a profound impression.
 MT. McDermott Is known as one of the greatest of the tramp delineators and shares this distinction with Nat cided originality and every move is provocative of unbounded mirth. Mir. McDermott has a unique monologue which bristles with bon mots and the latest tidbits from his bright brain He sings very cleverly a parody or two and the introduction of a number of eccentric dancing steps always causes the spectators to indulge in frantic applause. At every perform ance this funny tramp tmpersonator has to respond to many encores. and it can be safely stated that he is one of inc real good things of this very strong offering.
 Frank Markley has just completed the circuit of the Kohl and Castle houses and was a success at the Ma iesttc. olympic and Haymarket Thea Sres in Chicago. He touches the strings of the banjo with a master hand and his rendition of classic as well as pop uIar melodies win him always deserved applause. 7
