At the Coliseum.

ing with an aDpreciative audience for
the opening bill for the weeks engage
ment of the WhiteSide- Strauss Co The
play was His Sisters Sim" a comedy
with the scenes shifting from a Maine
farm to New York City. Much comedy
relieved the heavier lines and this was
capably handled by Will H. Strauss
and Miss BESSIE Johnson. Miss Louise
Willard i'll the part of the wronged
country girl and Karl Magee as the
city young man in love with her filled
their parts in fine shape. Jack White
side in his part OF Richard Maynard,
the villain, proved himself capable
actor and did his work in fine shape.
The other members of the cast were up
to the high standard set by the leads
and the entire play was well received.
The sDecialties between the acts
gave the audience some good Vaude-
vile. The Johnson Sisters did a song
and dance turn which met with con-
siderable applause. Miss Maries Le-
clair sang a character song which took
well. Dewey, the trick viClinist, did
things while playing selections on the
violin which ordinarily goes for an act
by itself. Will H. Strauss proved him
self indeed a funny fellow and his
songs and stories were new and up
todate. The acrobatic act of the Bur
dette Brothers was new in every way
and closed up set of vaudeville sell
dom seen IN a travelling company.
The company is here for weeks en-
gaeement and should be greeted by
packed houses. The prices in this city
