plies. with more or less grace. Last
| night. and yesterday afternoon, for
| some reason, perhaps because OF the
| nearness of the Crane and the opera
! seasons. perhaps because the Press
| club shows of late years have not held
up the high standard of the earlier
performances. there was not the ac-
| customed crush. and many vacant
| chairs confronted the gaze of the
i players when the curtain went up.
The spirit of merriment and jolly
nonsense. however, pervaded the
house, before and behind the curtain,
and everything went with a whirl.
Some OF the jokes. especially about the
gum drops reached fair distance
back into antiquity. and Mr.. Kearns'
senatorial aspirations might well be
deemed TO have earned a right to go
into cold storage, But in the Cook
Peary episode. Mr.. Mckenzie provided
an up-to date laughablc and plctur-
csque burlesque. which the clever peo-
pie In the cast, aided by the manager
ial hand of John Spencer, tho scenic
artist. and the original music of Nc
Clellan. who presided over the or
chestra, took full advantage Of. The
cast was all good. but the Indian belle
of Mr.. Kerr was the most artistic in
action, as the Crook OF Mr.. Ensign was
the best In the singing line Mr.. Will
Hams Aurora-very funny in tights
amid her freezing surroundings-was
also striking, while Mr. CamDbells S

Clawson's. darkey-a very good per-

a comedian with proper guidance-Mr.

Dorius and McMurrin. all did strenu-
Gus work Mr. IInsign's rendition of
the song by Mcclellan. a ringing num-
bcr, had a big recall.
The vaudeville features were all
heartily appreciated, the most laugh
able being the strong arm feats of DIR,
Hewitt and John Tobin. Ed Pen
roses Louder monologue, delivered
in striking Scotch costume and legs
eau naturcL" won a recall and bo-
quot Of lemons. Mr.. Sibley's antics
with the All Hallows band-who
played well when allowed to-also got
some hearty hands: Mr. Evans, the
artist, was applauded for his clever
sketch work; the Rocky Mountain
quartette. composed of Bowman
Johnson. Jack Farrell, Walter Beihl
and VIII Parr. made a big hit and was
cncored again and again; while the
"KillotImc," Illustrating Gov. Spry-

the best things of the night

Maude Leone players last evening.
There arc only seven characters in the
play. with three acts covering a sup
posed time of action OF less than two
days but in this brief time most OF the
emotions to which humanity is heir
are touched upon. and some OF them
most powerfully portrayed The play
tells the story OF a Frenchwoman who
was forced into an undesirable mar

wicked husband was sunk into the life

she earned for herself the title OF
Madam Satan, and though imbibing to
safety all the phases of life In the

many years fought to come to the
surface. Being unscrupulous, however,
