cry sense of the word.
Sharing the ever recurring out
bursts of applause with Mr.. Dan
iels, who takes the part of the jolly
old rounder, the Omar Khayam, Jr.,
was Louise Sylvester, who took the
ridiculous role of Fatima, the Wall
Flower. Miss Sylvester makes the
part vast success and one of the
funniest imaginable. Her song, NO
body Loves Me- was one of the tri-
umphant comedy features. The char
acter of Abdallah, the fierce Arab
chief, was ideally portrayed by Will
liam Danforth. He has a magnificent
voice and his powerful physique and
his fear-inspiring expressions admir-
ably fitted the part.
All the other principal roles were
well handled.
THE Tattooed Man besides its
wealth of clean, original comedy. is
rich in the catchy music and dreamy
harmonies, fitting in admirably with
the Persian atmosphere that is given
the comic opera. Every musical num-
ber was delightful.
The young lady who sang THE
Wedding of the Lily and the Rose"
possesses one of the sweetest and
,, most remarkable voices ever heard in
this city, and no singer that has been
heard here this season has received
such an ovation from an audience.
The manner in which she SO easily
and so wonderfully carried the high
notes of the pretty number aroused
unbounded admiration. She was re-
called again and again.
Frank Daniels big song hit was
"Rain-in-the-Face, and with its COM
edy innovations, it was immense. 1t
was the best of his drolleries.
The Tattooed Man" pleased every
body. May Frank Daniels and his
big company come oftener.

JOLLY FRANK DANIELS
PLEASED GREAT AUDIENCE
Owing to Wreck, Company Was Late
in Getting In.-One of the Best
Attractions of the Season.

AS a result of collision between
snow plow train and a freight train
up near Leadville, the train carry
ing Frank Daniels, the celebrated
comedian. and his big company. did
not reach this city until 1880 o'clock
last night, being over seven hours
late, and as result the performance
of The Tattooed Man" did not be-
gin until after o'clock.
The house had been sold out long
before the hour of the performance,
and by $50 O'Clock the Park opera
house was packed from pit to the top
most perch in the gallery. 1t was a
magnificent, representative audience.
Appreciating the circumstances, and
knowing that the company was in no
way to blame, the great audience
waited patiently. AZ member of the
cast, in a brief talk before the cur
tain, told of the delay in getting here
caused by the wreck and stated that
the company desired to express their
thanks to the employees of the Colo
RADIO Midland, who certainly did ey-
erything in their power to hasten
the clearing of the tracks so that the
company would not have to disap-
point the Grand Junction people. He

thanked the audience cor their pa
tience in waiting and then begged
their indulgence for the absence of
the special scenery, stating that it
would require at least three hours
to get the massive settings up from
the cars and place them on the stage,
which would cause a delay until at
least IL O'Clock in the opening of
the performance. In all other re-
spects the gentleman declared the
performance would be absolutely
complete.
AS 1t is known that the stage set
tings for THE Tattooed Man" are
dazzling in their beauty and elegance
the enforced absence of the scenery
caused much disappointment. How
ever, after seeing the performance
no one cared to complain about the
missing scenery.
1t was a great show. 1t was the
same old Frank Daniels. He is Just
as comical, Just as merry, Just as
original and just as good as ever.
He is known as one of the best, and
he richly deserves that reputation.
His comic opera, "The Tattooed
Man." gives him numerous opportun-
tiles to show his inimitable talent
along the comedy line. He's a great
little old man. Few comedians have
ever made as many people laugh.
Mr.. Daniels is supported by a SUI

pany cast There are over thirty

A PRETTY BANQUET WAS
THAT OF THE TENNIS CLUB

The beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry ]. Teller on Chipeta ave-
nue. was on last night the scene of
one of the merriest events in the his
tory of that popular organization
known as the B. B. Tennis Club. 1t
was the occasion of the second annu-
al banquet.
The looms were charmingly decor
ated with flowers and plants and
trailing vines. The practical en-
blems of the Tennis Club. such as
recquets, nets, tennis balls, etc. were
uniquely displayed.
The banquet board presented an
entrancing scene as the guests (25 in
number.) were seated. The menu
was perfectly prepared ami each
course was admirably served. Fol-
lowing the dinner the program of
toasts opened. and the spirit of good
cheer ard congeniality reigned. VIII
A. House was the toastmaster and
in such a role he is a great success.
Several of the young ladies and gem
tlemen responded to toasts and each
response was refreshing and spark
ling.
The Tennis Club has had many en-
Joyable social gatherings, but none
have ever surpassed in pleasure the
second annual banquet. 1t will long
be the source of happy memories.
