The vaudeville bill which Manager Jackson has arranged for today ana tomorrow comprises a number of high class acts The one that will undoupt- edly appeal the most IS the laugndpie comedy sketch The Jamtor, idply presented by Dennis Mullen & Co.,, clever and widely known group of en- tertainers It is said to be bubbllng over with good humor, and as the comedy element in anything IS always enjoyed the most by local amusement seekers it is sure to give general sat- isfaction It is not often that Bridge porters have an opportunity to see real princess. but it will be offered to them today and tomorrow at Jacksons where Princess Chinquilla CO, are presenting a unique Indian novelty' which is said to be quite out Of the ordinary of vaudeville offerings, but fully as pleasing. She sings some weird native songs in a quaint ana pleasing style and with a graceful pos turing, and concludes her act with sl Cheyenne-SiouX war dance, Wnlch IS reputed to be intensely interesting. She is assisted by Major Newell, the cow boy juggler who does some remarkaple feats of balancing, gives number or capital selections on7 musical lnstru- Inents and also exhibits his Sk1ll W1tn the revolver. All in all it IS one or the most novel features in vaudeville but never fails to please and interest Other acts on the program are, Adonls and Dog a sensational acrobatlc nov city which is said to be exceedingly clever and Rogers and Evans, two neat and graceful dancers who present 2 clever terpsichorean speciality. One of the most important features or an up-to-date vaudeville bill is the mo- ton picture display, and Jackson eA- elusive service gains for that theatre the superiority over all the others m iol as usual be changed daily.
 THE SILVER STAR" Harry Watson, of Ricke1 and Watson, was last seen in tThe Follles of l9US in which revue he appeared 1n a Dur- Jesoue imitation of Mile. Genee's cele- brated hunting dance, attired and made up after the style of the famous dancer which comes to Jackson's sat 11rday evening. In ''The Silver Star the comedian was compelled to apear with GIle. Genee as balet master and to assist her as such. In1s ap- healed to Watson as an elegant op- nortunity to get laughs from the sit nation and the contrast, but when re- 1learsals began he changed his mlnd Instead of his own grotesQue business being allowed he was placed Tn the hands of Alexander Genee, who has an international reputation for being the

 THE RAYS IN KING CASEY"
 on next Monday evening the stage of Jackson's Theatre will be given ov- cr to the grOtesque musical comedy, King Casey" in which Johnny and Emma Ray are starring this season. 1 and which has been a pronounced suc- cess wherever seen. As g laugh crea- | tor there is probably no real. equal on l the American stage to Johnny Ray. l Many so-called legitimate comedians 1 frown on the Ray style of comedy l ferning it low "knock-about' and ..Slan-tick'' but the fact remains that 1 fhe Rays have the record for cOntinu- | nus and hearty laughter in almost ev- l cry city and town throughout the coun- | try. The company in support of the l two stars this season numbers fifty | people. and the play and music have | both undergone a thorough refurnish- ing and refreshing. as has also the | wardrobe and scenery of the prOduc- ton.
