The Gayety.

One of the biggest and brightest enter
tainments of the bnrlesque and yaude-
vile of the season will be presented Mon
day matinee, November 8, at the Gayety.
by Sam A. Scribners big show, which is
conceded to be one of the strongest and
best equipped light extravaganza organi-
cations ever sent upon the road to play
the popular price circuit. While all the
spokes of the burlesque wheel have been
frightened this season, the management
has gold and silver plated the one which
stands for Scribner's big show. They
have been lavish in their expenditure of
money and have given the organization
an outfit of scenery and costumes that
would do credit to any of the Broadway
attractions. The company Is composed
of several comedians a number of the
best vaudeville artists in the business.
and the chorus is said to be made up of
a score of genuine beauties. who, in ad-
dition to the attractiveness of face and
figure, are talented as well. The ensem-
BILE will be presented In two uproarlously
funny burlesques which have been espe-
cial1y written by Scribner for the COM
pany and which clean and whole
some and devoid of every suggestion of
coarseness and vulgarity The comedy
will be clean cut and bright, and while
the plot will only be of sufficient strength
to carry along and unload the specialties
of a lot of good people, there will be just
thread enough to the story to hold the in
terest and lead up to the climax.
