worn by Chinese women and. accord
ing to Miss Robinson, have much
more to recommend them than the
directorie gown and other fashionable
garments.
THE Chinese woman" she declares
HAS sense enough not to go tripping
about with clinging gown that
catches all the dust we Americans
showing her figure as the American
votaries of fashion and though she
may cripple her feet to wear tiny
shoes, she would endure none of the
discomforts that our dresses cause l
would like to see their trousers adopt
ed as an outer garment for American
women | would go right on the street
now wearing them If l didn't think
some busybody would interfere and

will aDpear at the Gennett theater on
Saturday matinee and night, March
q and will present program which.
for genuine novelty has never before
been attempted by any other minstrel
manager The company is large one
and every artist has been selected
with great care for his respective
worth. One surprise follows another
in rapid succession, from the rise to
the fall of the curtain. Those who
have seen the clever performers in
this attraction will wish to see them
again, and those who have not had
the opportunity of Witnessing the en-
tertainment should not do so now and
spend an evening of rare enjoyment,
guaranteed to satisfy the most exact
ing amusement seeker. as the Lane
Trio of acrobats have been engaged
at an enormous salary, for this tour
only and are alone worth the price of
admission.
The New Phillips.
The New Phillips has exceeded any
of it's previous attempts to bring good
singing to this city. The Metheven
Sisters are the object of this attempt.
In their singing there is not only a
deviation from the old and well-worn
pathway but their is reminder of the
old minstrelsy of the Anglo-Saxon
days and withal vivacity and sprite-
ness that steals away the saddening
melody of the usual heart-throb exc
cutions. These girls have trained
voices. In their imitation of the elite
church choir the effort loses it's imita-
tion and becomes a reality. These
are in vaudeville lines because it is
second nature with them.
AS for the barrel jumpers. Bean and
Hamilton, if they were doing grand
opera lines as well as they execute
their pleasing and daring feats they
would have to hire help to carry the
bouquets off of the boards. But of
course they don't hand them bouquets
in the vaudeville houses. else these
men would get corner on them.
Martin Guild initiates an Italian.
He has two or three new Italian songs
that are fine. The management is
featuring a motion picture of a prize
fight as the last number and it doesn't
pay to miss this.
