THE THEATRES
JACKSON'S
JACKsON's VAUDEVILLE.

While last weeks vaudeville enter tainment at Jackson's theatre was one of the most pretentious and pleasing that has ever been offered here, it is expected that the bills which Manager Jackson has provided for his patrons the current week will prove fully as delightful. and certainly as amusing. There never was a bill more replete with mirth provoking qualities than the one that opened a three days en- gagement at this popular theatre this afternoon. Good, wholesome and up- to-date comedy is always enjoyed by a vaudeville audience, and it has ever been Manager Jackson's endeavor to have his programs supplied with a goodly portion of it. Today's bill of- fers a prodigious collection of artists, most of whom are new to local thea tre-goers, but all of whom are leaders in their respective line of work and have demonstrated in a fitting manner their abilities before they were consid- cred for local engagement. Prom1- nent among them will be found one of vaudeville's most liked teams, Al. H.. Weston and Gene Young, who present a comedy playlet which is, greatly un- like the average farce sketch, and Is far more entertaining. Both these players are possessed of unusual talent and promise to establish themselves big favorites with the clientele at Jackson's. Lavender Richardson & Go. will present their successful far cical domestic absurdity, "Brady's Bad Boy'', which is said to be replete with bright, scintillating comedy, and IaugEable situations. It is one of the best vehicles this able company have ever had and serves to display in an admirable manner the histrionic abf1- ity of the youthful member of the ag- gregation. Other acts on the pro- O. r0 yn shadowgraphists and magicians. and Little All Right & Co.,. Japanese nov city entertainers in an unique and original offering. The usual three reels of interesting and exclusive motion picture subjects, changed every day, will be exhibited. That same little price will prevail.
 TOM LEWIS IN
 .THE YANKEE FRINGE"
 Conan & Harris will present Cohan's latest musical success, 'The Yankee Prince. at Jackson's theatre for a single performance next Friday even ing, with Tom Lewis, famous for his impersonation of the Unknown in ME Cohan's Little Johnny Jones" and seventy-five other singing and dancing stars. Cohan's plays have come to stand as a standard for ex- c01lence III the d1fluS0neI1C WOTlU. A Conan play is always a clean play in to which no suggestion of vulgarity is ever allowed to creep. There is charm about them that particularly appeals to all theatre-goer At de- vising funny situations, fascinating musical numbers. composing tuneful melodies. or writing smart slangolog- ical chatter. .Cohan is a past master and through 1t all there is absolute cleanliness. Perhaps this is the secret of Cohan's meteor-like career. From the moment the curtain goes up on the first act of "The Yankee Prince until it's final drop at the end of the third act, there is something of in- terest to catch the eye or please the ear and keeps the audience amused. It tells in bright way the story of Chicago man of wealth and ambition who aspires to a marriage between his daughter and an English earl. The sale of seats starts tomorrow and it will undoubtedly prove one of the largest that has been held thus far this season.
