SMITHS.

With each succeeding performance,
 ''The Show Girl" Robert M. Sperry's
 twelfth annual production. is gaining
 in weight and in smoothness of ac-
 tion, and the patronage is reaching
 that point where it seems assured that
 the records of all past seasons will be
 broken before the week is out. One
 thing which is very much in favor of
 this offering is that the musical num-
 bers are more in number. and are
 performed with a spirit and ensemble
 which gain for them the entire ap- proval of the audiences. One of the
 leading musical numbers Is Kiss a
 Little Girl Like Me- in which Miss Mckinney is meeting with tremendous success. The afr is also becoming
 known about the streets. showing that
 it fingers in the minds of those who have heard it. Miss SteinmetZ, in her two songs, Love in Moontime," and the solo of the swing song, displays very fine soprano. which has inn Mckinney is also singing one of last years successes. "Isle of Dreams" in a superb manner, and her own inter- polated number. Delight" is an op- full rich voice to perfection. Charles F. Pecks song. 'The Welcome on the Mat Was Never Meant for Me- gains him merited applause, while Plays on Broadway" in which the sextette, Messrs. Jewett. Sperry and Peck. and Misses Mckinney, Steinmetz and Stein bach, appear, calls for repeated en- cores. Beach Bathers'' brings out the entire chorus. and is much ap, precited number, because in this the girls appear to the best advantage of all. 'sThe Boo Hoo Man. is an eccen- trio song and dance, in which Miss Mckinney and several of the girls are seen, and it is sure of several encores at every performance. -'The Show Girl'' finale of the first act is also good number. in which the full strength of the company is 6een.
 The seats for the rest of the week are very largely sold, and those who have delayed in securing them will have to take the best they can get. Warnings without number have been given to get your seats early and the is not to blame if you are There are still many seats remaining. but they must be procured at once.
 The way in which the announce ment of what has been provided for the spring and summer season. which opens Monday next. is very encour- aging. It seems now that from the first, the season will be an overwheln- ing success. for many are buying their reserved seats in advance. while ev- eryone is talking about the plans for the summer. It is proposed to give nothine but high class vaudeville. with the addition of three reels of strictly first run" motion pictures. the finest that can be had. and such as no one else can possibly secure in ad- vance, There will be five big acts of 1 all novelties which have not been seen in this city before, and | there will surely be some surprises in l store for the patrons. It will be a pro- | gram of which any vaudeville theatre l might be proud, and for which the | public would willingly pay higher | prices uBt the schedule will be so | small, only ten cents. either matinr. | ,r evening" with just few reserved in | the evenings for ten cents extra. that | no one can possibly feel it, and it will | be the best possible form of amuse- nent. for the lowest possibic cost. 1 Nothing like it has ever been attempt ed here before and it is anticipated ! that the people will flock to see it. There will be three performances daily | 1ne in the afternoon at 2:15. and two m the evening. at 7:15 and about S:30. | This will give everyone an opportun- ty to drop in and see the show.
