EAGLES MONARCH FAIR.

For a Monday night and with a whole lot of other attractions in the city the Eagles were pretty well pleased last evening to see the big crowd that was in attendance at their fair. And the best of 1t all was everybody was pleased, for the enter- tainment was all that was advertised and not bit of the programme was neglected The side shows and booths were attractive features. The Salome dance by two Syrian women had them all guessing and Zella, the little freak dwarf created no end of interest. Then there was the danc- ing and the refreshments and other features that made pleasure for all. But the one act that created the greatest interest was the Nilsson aerial ballet. While the arrange ments and appurtenances were not perfect, the act went off well and pleased the big crowd present. From now on, however, it will be still bet ter for everything will run smoother and the electric and wire effects will be carefully handled. The dance in air last night was a beautiful picture and the little tot in the toe dance performed remarkably well. Tonight the programme will be repeated and the fair promises to be one of the big gest events ever given by the Eagles of this city.

Miss Ada Rehan. the actress, who has been abroad several months for her health, arrived at New York Saturday night on the American liner Philadelphia, from Southampton. She said she felt much better than before she left New York, but she was not in perfect health.
 'I may perhaps look better than I feel, said Miss Rehan, but be- cause of the uncertainty of my health I shall never act again. It is now about five years since I appeared on the stage. I shall divide my time between London and New York, spending six months in each place ing now are changed and the plays are much different from the time when I began my stage career. There has been a great public demand for plays of new sort in recent years, and 1t has brought about creation of ephemeral plays that I hardly think will last. I believe the plays of Pinero ard Sardou will last, regardless of the change of taste.'

JACQUES
VAUDEVILLE.

The bill at the Jacques this week has several good numbers, but on
 whole it is not the equal of last
 week. The first nighters get the
 last number on the programme first and the first number last. LsRoy

 comedy is tiresome and the act a
 little slow. Sam Stern, character impersonator, in original songs and
 parodies, pleases and has the audi
 ence calling for more at the finish. John and Bertha Gleason furnish some fine dancing which is apprs-
 ciated. i, The latter wins the audi
 ence with her individual dancing.
 Fred Houlihan, a pianist, who has
 part in the act, makes favorable
 impression with his individual play ing. Gilroy, Haynes and Montgom-
 cry in "The Good Ship Nancy Lee, are good enough for any headliner; they furnish some good singing and comedy. Charles Gilroy, the stow
 away, in this act furnishes the com edy, and has 1t on Johnnie Ray and others. MT and Mrs Gardner Crane and company furnish the headliner. ! They present Mrs Cranes production !, entitled "Pixley's Prodigal Parents. i The sketch is good and deserves tho
 place they have on the bill. The Gibelli brothers, vocalists and instrI- mentalists, have pleasing number.
