the stage half an hour, she takes pos
session to sing that "she is a poor work
ing girl" and that is the first of Rich
ard Carries devices to utilize her in his
summer show for 1909. OF course, she
tTavesties a poor, shy, weakling of OPP
pressed labor. Later, she makes use of
vim in a Spanish ballad and dance of
a Carmen equal to the destinations of
half a dozen JOses and Escamillios.
Maries best three minutes, though,
are in an automobile disaster. Her
bulk is too much for the tOnneau of the
motor car. and she is squeezed into it
with difficulty. At length all is ready
to start. The whistle toots a warning
to clear the way. Pedestrians SkUTTy
panic-stricken TO safety. The machine
plunges off to Marie's merry carOlling
of a song predatory to a wild joy ride.
Then, bang! Big noisel! Much de-
struction!M Marie is overlaid deep in
the wreckage. Levers are brought, and
she is pried out. She revives for ac-
tivity during the rest of the play, but
to Go nothing funnier.
The one roof garden that grows a
crop of vaudeville this summer has an
adjoining farmyaTd on the top Of a Be
lascO theatre; and the most luxuriant
crop therein is whiskers. A dTaught
from among the dime museum freaks
Of nature has brought forth ~ old fell
low with a beard that reaches from his
face TO his feet. He figures here as the
boss, b'gosh, of that gol burned farm
with its garden sass and flowers, its
hens and ducks, and its COW.
On the opening night, a well known
show girl MIXED that COW on a wager
of q wine supper Really? How do I
know? Anyway, she acted the bit Of
farce neatly. Clad in silk and lace
she said Hist" like a milkmaid, seat
ed herself on a three-legged stool
gripped two of bossy's te2ts in her
white hands. and sent streams of milk
into d pail held between her snins.
Didn't I tell you that I came from a
dairy farm ?" slss said to her escOrtng
man.
But it doesn't prove you are a min
isters daughter the rOunder replied.

The open sides of this aloft theatre
let in noises from the street: so the
program is made up of things to see,
and musical things to hear, with no
coiioquial sketches whatsoever. An &C
count Of this show isnt given for its
worth, as it is commonplace; but to in
form you what sort o. entertainment
New Workers pay 81 apiece to see, if
they insist on best seats and buy of al
legged peddlers on the sidewalks. Two
young men make a beginning with pan
tomimic dancing. They are first burg
lars cracking a safe, next Toysterers
going home afraid in the dark of their
wives, and finally a guest and a waiter
In a restaurant; and all the while their
steps in clog and shuttle, to take the
expert gallerys estimate, are high in
technical merit.
Who cares for bicycling in these days
of motoring and ballOoning? Three
men made up for grOtesque tramps,
and one woman looking as comely as
she can be, fill the next quarter of an
hour with feats on a variety of cycles
so low that the rider barely clears the
ground and so high that he balances
away up in the stages f1ies-a variety
of nondescript vehicles to the aggregate
Of thirty-One-and they get only mod
crate applause. An ensuing quartet Of
musicians fare better with no more
merit. They tap zylOphones, Jingle
bells and play brass instruments.
One musician Is a comedian. 1 know
it, because his face is the only one
blackened like a negroes; and when he
