the amount of 10000 francs. The cap

A decided success was scored last
night by the members of the st. Agnes
Literary Society in the vaudeville and
minstrel entertainment given at ST.
Georges Hall for the benefit of ST.
Aloysius's Parochial School. The cast
was composed of more than fifty young
men and women. who conducted them
selves with the air of professionals
and brought round after round of APP
plause from the large audience thai
filled the hall.
One end of the semi-circle, over
which Thomas A. Smith presided as
interlocutor. was occupied by Nicholas
Rowe, Joseph Halpin and John Nc
Guinness. The Misses Bridget Hayden.
Mary Mahon and Anna Brennan were
on the other end.
At the conclusion of the minstrel

PATSY KLINE THE BIG NOISE
AT WALDMANN'S THIS WEEK,

waldmann's Theatre this week has
taken on the aspect of a prize ring in
the most interesting attraction on the
bill. This is provided by the local boy,
Patsy Kline, in his three-round ex-
hibition with Kid Black, of Chicago.
The show itself, while introducing a
bevy of pretty women, Is not SO lively
as some others hat have been seen
there this season. Several amusing
situations occur, but thep players do not
seem to have awaited themselves Of
their full possibilities. Miss Mildred
Stroller, with her clever impersona-
tons of Fay Templeton. Lillian Rus
sell and especially a French music hall
singer. was very good. The contor-
lions of Miss Stroller in Hello, My
Baby showed a great deal of time
spent in study and observation. The
Potter Hartweli Trio, a team of conf
edy acrobats, introduced several novel
features, Mills and Moulton are rather
clever in q short sketch of Shake
spearian characters, while Ed Marlkey,
in an imitation of Harry Lauder,
pleases.
The last and best act on the entire
bill is that of Patsy Kline. This is
his first appearance behind the toot-
lights, and his willingness to give the
people their moneys worth is well APP
preciated. In his bout with Kid Black
it was apparent that he meant busi-
ness. for Black required the services OF
a physician to doctor up his nose after
the go. We are positively assured that
Leach Cross will appear with Kline
on "Wednesday night.
Lee Ottolengui, manager OF the the
atre. announced last night that OH
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
matinee and evening, of next week, the
motion pictures of the Johnson-BurnS
fight would be shown. On account OF
the length of the pictures the anna
teur performance will not be given a
customary on Tuesday night.

LAURENCE IRVING SHOWS HIS
FATHERS TALENT AT THE LYRIC.

With catchy songs and a winsome
personality, Miss Eleanor Jess easily
won her way to the hearts of the au-
dience at the Lyric last night. Her
songs made real hits. Clever in both
music and words, the added charm of
Miss Jess's rendition earned the re-
peated encores accorded them. Other
good numbers were Memora, Gallando.
well known but always welcome with
his heavy clay moulding, n Bill Nor
risey. But there's a really and truly
stellar production at the Lyric this
week, with two really n truly stars
playing it, and their names are Lau-
renee Irving and Mabel Hackney.
The contrast used in their playlet is
an old one--Mark Twain used it in his
prince ard Paupers--but Mr.. Irving,
in condensing his story from Theodore
De Banville's great play, "Gringoire,'
has been especially fortunate in keep
ing just enough color in the piece to
give it life without pressing the danger
line of credulity. In impersonating
Louis XII, King of France, Mr.. Irving
portrays the popular impression Of
the old king with Corot-like truth
f~ulness, and Mabel Hackney, who
in real life is Mrs. Irving, makes
a very appealing and yet tragic
picture in her role of Gringoire,
the half-starved poet. Not one tense
moment in the play falls fiat. and,
thanks to the excellence of the support
ing players, there is very little wood
ness shown in h action of the piece.
Laurence Irving is doing his father
credit.
For a novelty in a strong-man act,
Frank ]. Parker is all there in his
"Hotel-in-Midair.' A feature in the
act Is the genuine humorous qualities
of his assistant, Allen Smith.
The Columbia Comedy -Four are a lot
of fun, and Nick Conway n Fred
Barns, in 1.-THE Stock Brokers'" got
some applause for some novel ones that
are really new. The Lyriscope-always
| good-rounds out one of the best bills

I'm OLD EDAM" LEADS
ALL ELSE AT pROCTOR,S.

There is no question as to the real
headliner In this weeks bill at Proc
tors. I'm Old Edam," with its atmos-
cuckoo clock, with the bird that used
to be on Nellie's hat, makes a big hit.
Sam Chip and Mary Marble are the
fun-makers, and the author of the
playlet Is Oscar Hammerstein's old
time publicity agent, Mrs. Anna Mar
BILE Pollock. If in nothing else Mrs.
Pollock succeeded In writing something
original. and her idea of having that
cuckoo clock cuckoo every time some
one tells a fib proved its w%orthiness
last night. And then that Marble girl
she is emphaticaliy a@laugh, and is
all the more merry because SamisChip
is there, too.
The setting Of the playlet. slightly
reminiscent of 1.-THE Rec Mill" is es-
peciaily worthy in its color scheme of
white and blue, and the iron chest from
which the two Children jump out In
the play furnishes the romantic ele-
ment needed. Altogether it's a pretty
good little funmaker.
Walter Kelly, as the old Southern
judge in 1.-THE Virginia Judge" is
funny. The old gentleman's kindness,
combined with a stern sense of justice,
Is brought out very well by Mr..
Kelly. The humor in the monologue is
mighty good.
But in "Tony and the Stork' there
is a certain lack of humor that some
how clogs the pathos.
An original act on the parallel bars
by Newhold and Annie Carol is the
acrobatic offering of the evening. Miss
Alice Hanson's representations of stage
folk furnishes a few laughs, and Vic
tor Niblo's talking paroquets reAly do
talk. The three DuBall brothers, who
claim to be Americas unsurpassed
dancers are most certainly a nimble
trio and earned applause. Quick, the
crayon artist, did some clever carica-
lures, and with the usual motion pic
lures rounded out the bill.

COLUMBIA AUDIENCES SEEN TO
Enjoy JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

Large houses greeted the two open
ing performances of Uncle Toms
Cabin" at the Columbia Theatre yes
terday and. Notwithstanding the fact
that probably everybody there a seen
it several times before the old play
held the audience in rapt attention I'M
til the fnal curtain.
Unlike other companies presenting
this play, the Stetson organization
keeps as near to the original produc-
tion of the story as is possible. intro
ducing just enough modern features to
make it's presentation effective, Buck
dancing cake walking and quartet
singing were featured between h acts
and were fayorably received.

ROSE STAHL, JERSEY
GIRL, A HIT in LONDON.
Even Her Slang Is Laughed at
There.

LONDON, April pa play-hardened
London f%irst-night audience received
Rose Stahl, in 1.-THE Chorus Lady" at
the Vaudeville Theatre last night, with
silent curiosity; then burst into hearty,
unaffected laughter, occasionally wiped
its eyes clear of real moisture, and by
the close of the first act was noisy in its
enthusiasm.
From that on to the conclusion of the
play Miss Stahl had the house with
her. Even her wonderful slang seemed
to be understood, and provoked peais
of laughter.
There were uncountable curtain
calls, and finally the audience settled
down to a steady cheering. which did
not cease until Miss Stahl made a neat
little speech In a broken voice.
