Our Merchants Awake.


The writer's knowledge Of local adj
vertising extends back more than thirty
years and there surely has been marked
change in the amount and in the meth
DDS of the advertising done.
Thirty years ago live advertisers,
with the possible exception of farm ma
chine agents, were as scarce as hen $
teeth. The printer could easily do all
the work in an hour or so each week on
the advertisements, while today it often
takes two days time. Few business
men turn their backs on advertising and
the progressive ones seldom let week
slip without some announcement to their
patrons.
If our advice were solicited we would
recommend the continual use of space,
ever though smaller amount is used
weekly.

A LOT OF GOOD FUN IN
THE WALDMANN'S BURLESOUE.

Waldmann's Theatre has seldom
sheltered a classier bunch of bur-
lesquers than Andy Lewis and his
broadway Celebrities" who are there
this week. AS a mirth producer Mr..
Lewis can stir things up as few other
comedians in burlesque are able to.
In fact. there's more fun in the show
than is contained in any other bur-
lesque that's been here in weeks.
Starting with a satirical review, en-
titled aWhirl-i-Fun." the entire com
pany is seen to good effect. The girls
do their utmost to entertain, though
their vocal charms are less than some
of their others. Miss Virginia Royden,
as FLUFFY Ruffies, is the best on the bill.
She enters with heart and soul into the
spirit of her work, and she succeeds.
In the olio the racing conceit, won
at the Wire" is the best skit of It's
kind in burlesque. Here Andy Lewis
and Miss Virginia Royden. are seen
at their best in their ~endeavor TO
contrast the race track stout and the
Of refinement. Others in the
olio are Miss Maxine Hampton, illuG-
trated songs; Groves and Doyle, ION
Fathers Farm" Lane and Smith, rag
time singers and players, and the AL
ronna-Zoeller Trio. novelty acrobats.
The closing burletta, THE Polsolah
in ireland. staged by Mr.. Lewis, with
LYRICS by Jeff t. Branen, is ludicions.
The "Tempter Dance" was given a de-
encore, constituting a chief fea-
ture of the sketch.
The show is the last of the season,
and one of the best, too, and no one
who loves good burlesque ought to
miss it.

also a new acquisition, Who appeared
as Gllda. Both sang In italian, which
pleased those who understood 1t, how
ever III it might have been deplored
py those who thought they were going
TO hear q performance all in English.
Miss Helena, in addition, sang some Of
her score in English.
The production, viewed in a critical
light, was good in part and merely
passable at other moments. Miss
Helena and Sacchetti easily bore off
the honors of the evening, with George

Jester a commanding figure. Mr..
Truax's efforts were earnest. however,
and his enunciation was a good lesson
in how English can be SUNG distinctly.
Enthusiasm ran rife with the easily
enthused auditors in the two big scenes
of the opera, namely, In the second act
over the passionate duet, "Addio sper-
ANA ed anima,", when S%acchetti took
the final high G splendidly, and the ex-
quisfte aria "Caro nome.' done finely
by Miss Helena, and in the final act
over the great quartet. Bella fglia
dell Amore." and the counts familiar
son La donna e mobile" There
were repetitions in all Of these.
The two principal minor parts were
filled by James Murray as Count Mon
terone, and Vera Roberts as, Maddalen.
Scenically the last act was hardly up
to the usual standard. 1t was not
necessary to kill Gilda in full view,
and the question arises where did the
count go to sleep In Sp~arafucile's home
for the usual second story was lack
ing. and 1t sounded as though lie wers

the place. But one canno be too cap
tious about such THINKS in popular
