JACKSON'S VAUDEVILLE.
 There is no greater exponent of the true Terpsichorean art in vaudeville than Miss Rosita Mantillo who will be the feature of the Vaudeville program which will hold the boards at Jack sons theatre the last four days of this week. Miss Mantillo has but re- gently completed a tour of the prin- cipal vaudeville theatres on the con- tinent. and which was one of the most successful ever attempted by a, vaude- vile artist. Everywhere she appeared the critics were united in praise of her work, and encomiun1s of the high est sort were showered upon her. While Miss Mantalo's principal mum Der IS of the heavy variety, the major ity are of a more Joyous order, to which style. by reasons of her grace and lightness of movement, she is number, "The Grecian Worship Dance is a masterly conception and affords this artist unlimited oppor- derful talent The remainder of the bill is of the usual high standard one expects to see at this theatre, and in Eghtful harmonists in a choice pro- gram of popular Scotch ballads; MT and Mrs. Roland, presenting their and James Covenoy, the ininitable story teller. The usual three reels of the latest achievements in Motion Photography will also be exhibited.
 In addition to the above bill Manager Jackson has engaged for a. special attraction for St. Patrick's Day only loists. Mrs. B. J. O'Neill, the celebrat- ed contralto, who will sing a number of popular Irish selections Mrs OHNeiu will be assisted by a number of her pupils, in costumes fitting to the songs, and a group of pretty stage pictures are promised.
 GEO. EVANS HONEY BOY" MIN
 sTRELs.
 l The Geo. Evans Honey Boy Min strels presenting George Evans and big company of minstrel stars will be the attraction at Jackson's, thea is now considered the most important attraction of it's kind in America. The entertainment presented by George Evans and his ''Honey-Boys'' last season made a most profound impress sion, and is largely responsible for the unusual interest which has been revived in minstrelsy throughout the i which was fast going to seed until i Messrs. Conan and Harris entered the 1 field of minstrel management and gave l and full of high-lass, refined and novel features. That these managers have found this class of entertain ment a profitable field, is made ap- parent by the high character of the attractions they offer in the new l company organized this season. It is a new organiza ton, new singers and l comedians, and an entirely new scenic equipment, described as quite as ela- norate and quite as mamnoth as the of last year. While the sale of seats has been very large, there are a nun Der of good seats yet unsold
 s'UNDfR SOUTHERN sKIEs'' One of the unusual features of Lot 1 tie Blair Parker's play of Southern life is that the women of the cast l outnumber: the men. As rule the re- 1 verse is the case in dram tic offer ings The presence of so many wom- l en upon the scene is one of the at fractions Of the play, especially as The birthday party of the youthful heroine, and the Halloween festivities, which include the carrying out of l some amusing Halloween tricks and 1 a Jack-o-Lantern dance, give fine scope for showing the feminine mem bers of the company to advantage. l One of the funniest characters in the play is '-Anner Lizer', who deserves to rank side by side with the immortal ''Topsy." Aunt Doshy too, is host of fun in herself: a typical southern who clung to the family she loved. 1 though free to leave them if she wish ed to do so. The South furnished many instances of this devotion upon the part of the older negroes. The part of the heroine. Lelie Croften. young Southern belle, is a difficult one to enact, portraying as it does all the emotions from gay and loving light heartedness to most intense mis- cry and grief. ssUnder Southern Skies'' was written by woman and it gives l ing than three or four ordinary dramas. Manager Jackson has secured this very successful play and it will be seen at his theatre tomorrow matinee and evening. Special low prices will prevail for both performances. Seats can now be secured.
