THE AUDITORIUM.

Tn spite of other attractions during the holiday season, the attendance at the ever popular Auditorium has in- creased rather than diminished The arrival of Elverten, the Spinning Mar vel who was snowbound for sixteen hours completed the bill. Elverten has an act which combines unusual skill and strength. His baton juggling and spinning is as perfect as long practice and keen eye can make it, while the manipulation of an army musket with bayonet attached has a spice of danger that makes it particularly thrilling Do you ever laugh? Well, don't miss Par son & Stewart in their sketch, Jack and Jack; the situations are all the funnier because they are perfectly plausible. Musical Irving has demon strated that he is an accomplished mu-
 @cian, his cello and one-string violin calling forth much applause. The Aitken Bros. and the Sisters Morelle complete an all round good bill. The management wishes to announce that on Monday, Jan. 3, Keith & Proctor's vaudeville will be installed, the acts being booked direct by the United Booking Offices, the largest and best organization of its kind in the world.
