There are several good hearty laughs al
Proctor's Theatre this week and there are
two features which particularly delight tue
children. The bill thus pleases young and
old and has few dull moments in II.
For the young folks-and for the older
ones, too. for that mat~ter-JewelPs mani-
kins, presented in a miniature theatre at
the back Of the stage, are full Of enter
tainment and interest. The little wooden
figures are cleverly manipulated by wires
from above in an advanced version of the
old-style marionette show. The exhibition
Is in a. measure a whole vaudeville enter
tainment in itself. In fact some of the
stunts which the dummies are made to do
would put the average vaudevillian to
shame. There arc dancing girls in all
sorts OF costumes, iigging men. funny
Glowing. policemen. Teddy bears in a bal
let. mysterious scenery and stage prop
erty which change IN good old-fashioned
pantomime style. and an artistic finale with
several pretty drop curtains and a foun-
tain of water spIashing up among vari-
colored electric lights. The lay audience
in the little boxes on either side of the
p%roscenium arch and the lay orchestra in
front of the miniature stage help give the
little show q realistic touch.
Belle Hathaway's troupe Of trained
monkeys delight the little ones. too-and
again the older folks, olso. This is one
OF the good laughs on the bill. The ami
mails cut up enough capers to make a
wooden post laugh. The funny thing about
such a monkey show is not the tricks the
animals do so much as it is the fighting,
chasing by-play they indulge in~ A NUM-
Der of the smaller ones were dressed as
sailors. and they roamed about in such a
comieal manner before the footlights, even
going so far as 10 venture into the boxes

well out of the bay on its way

1t was view such as has never
before been seen in Valparaiso bay
and one that will long be remember
ed by the people of Chilli who came
miles to see it.
The shipping in the harbor and
principal buildings in the city were
dressed for the occasion as the day
was observed as a holiday. From
the picturesque sloping hills, dotted
with houses, profusion of bunting
and waving of flags were observable
from the bay.
Thousands of persons from Santa
go and other places in the republic
had come into Valparaiso for the
occasion and the roofs of the 'Bolsa
Commercial, with its two huge tow
ers, the custom house and large
warehouses and other buildings
along the circular road skirting the
bay front were black with spectators.
The enthusiasm of the Chilians
was almost boundless, and they
cheered Justify as the battleshiI
feet swung around the reviewing
ship, their sides lined with jackies
in immaculate white, and bands play
ing patriotic airs. The noise of the
cheering was lost, however, in that
of the saluting guns from fort and
fleet. Altogether 1900 shots were
fired.
After the feet had passed to the
northward banquet was served or
board of the Gen. Basquedano by
President Mont in honor of the dip

was read by Henry Ash, chief coun-

supplementary to one made by Rnef

Bernard Kaplan, both Of whom, be-
sides District Attorney Langdon.
Francis ]. Heney, and Special Agent

finally, upon the most positive as
surance and guarantee of immunity
