vaudeville, and we hail the change
with pleasure. No doubt those who
were bold enough to try the show"
out last night felt the change most
agreeable. Mr.. Simonton has deliv-
cred the goods in his program and
the performance from start to finish
has the stamp Of high class vaude-
Vile. Angela May, the comic opera
contralto, is easily the star OF the
bill. Such a eontralto voice is seldom
heard out of comic opera, and those
who appreciate good singing should
hear her during the week with the
assistance Of ]. Louis MacEvoy They
acts out dainty sketch to delight

opens the bill Is a clever contortionist
whose work is artistic and finished.
Mr. Bob" Hendricks gives a mono
logue of jokes delivered in an easy
and laughable manner. The eHand-
cuff King" Prof, Fanzard, gives a
sensational, mystifying act that is at
once clever and surprisingly quick in
its detail and one which has the local
police guessing as to how it is done.
The illustrated song is good and the
pictures are excellent. II the manage
nent can keep up the high standard
OF the opening week the patronage Of
the star is sure to increase and the

due to the want Of knowledge of the

old idea Of the necessity Of the use Of
the knife brings a shock. They have
