satire under the heading, Innocent
Girls Plenty o. the comedy that is
so essential 10 a burlesque show IS scat

especially meritoriogs. fl view OF the
many bright SONGS that are introduced.
"Redhead' was wei sung by Mildred
Adams, and has apparently lost none 90
its charm by advancing age. Other songs
IN the playlet are "Old Black Crow Il
Suppose You're kissing Her Now" and
It's Better 20 be an old Mans Darling

THE COLUMBIA.
Thurrton. the Magician.

With more than the usual bag full
OF tricks Thurston, the magician, and
his company opened their annual en-
gagement at the Columbia last evening
and succeeded in keeping the audience
completely mystlhed and bewindered with
the many startling things that were done
IN full sight of the onlookers.
To the usual illusions and tricks OF
] performers Of his kind. Thurston has
added this season many that are new,
and even those that he has retained from
! former years are disguised with new ef-
] fects, so that they seem almost new.
! One Of the most pleasing features Of
( the entertainment is the running fire Of
talk that the magician keeps up through
/ out the evening. interspersing his tricks
with numerous remarks that keep the
! audience in a continual good humor. and
/ adding much 10 the pleasure Of the per-
| Torrance.
! Perhaps the most interesting Of the
many tricks and illusions Of the even
J ing was the expose OF the spiritualistic
cabinet. in which the magician success
/ fully initiates all the well-knOwn spirit
manifestations" by means OF his own
spirit cabinet, built in full view Of the
audience and with all the lights turned
on.
Another part OF the long programme
that was highly entertaining. as we'll as
being a mystery 10 the audience. is the
one which be entities the "Levitation Of
| the Princess Karnac''-where one OF his
assistants is suspended in a horizontal
position in mid-air while a hoop is passed
completely over her body. This was
perhaps the most mystifying Of all the
! illusions Of the evening. by reason OF the
length Of time during which the girl
remained suspended and the slowness
with which the trick was done
! After the usual number OF fancy card
tricks and sudden appearances al the
| opening Of the programme and the levi
tation" act. the magician performs
couple Of experiments with a fortune-ten-
/ ing bali and the spirit cabinet. ending the
! first part OF the performance with the
/ Illusion Of the Crystal Cage" The sec
ond part Of the entertainment commences
with a live wire act by a clever and agile
| japanese acrobat. concluding with his
| ascent 20 the gallery on the rope and
subsequent rapid descent. THE Lady
and the LIon"-an illusion necessltating
the use OF a live uon-ends the second
/ part
The third portion OF the programme
contains a number OF different tricks and
/ illusions, all entertaining and most Of
them novel in their conception, conclud-
( ing the entire bin with the Triple Mys-
terry" where the girl on the stage IS
seemingly transferred TO a large trunk.
which has been hanging from the chan
delier Of the auditorium during the entire
/ evening
The magician proved that he was an
entire master OF his art. and the ease
with which he accomplished the various
effects, together with his surety and dex-
terity in the quicker feats OF slelght-of-
hand combined 10 make an entertainment
both novel and interesting.

THE CASINO.
Continuous Vaudeville

Spellman's Bears, said to be the best
trained bears in the world, and certainly
very clever performers, are the top-notch-
ers at the Casino this week. They dance.
stand on their heads, walk a wire. and. in
fact. do almost everything that humans
do but talk. Three cubs, members of
the same bear family. appear, but be-
Ing but ten weeks old. divide their time
between eating and fighting.
Princess Chinquilla, an Indian maiden.
with all the charm and grace OF one of
the queens Of her race, gives a high
class singing and dancing speciality. as
sisted by Ed Newell. The Major" does
some unique Juggling. Princess Chin
quiIla's best number was her rendition
Of an Indian war dance. which she pre-
sented in a truly realistic manner.
De Pace Brothers have some refresh
ing instrumental solos. The GeorgaIas
and company give a wonderful exhibit
ton OF fancy and trick sharpshooting.
Georgalas did not miss a shot yesterday.
The real nit last night was one that
was not carded, and came as a distinct
surprise 10 nearly every one, especially
10 manager Mayer. Mr.. Mayer stole a
march on his friends last week and got
married, and it was noised about among
the attaches Of the theater that he would
return from his honeymoon some time
yesterday. Accordingly they entered into
conspiracy among themselves. and
when Mr.. and Mrs Mayer entered the
playhouse last evening. the orchestra
leader struck up Mendelssohn's Wedding
March. and the blushing pair were ac-
corded a reception that has seldom been
cQualed in a playhouse in this city. The
audience soon caught on and added 10
the merriment by entering fully into the
fun.

To Gain Social SUCCESS

To be successful socially. a woman
must possess brains and looks, a
ready wit and perfect manners. She
must be well posted on general top

lish call small talk" She can neyet
rise to any prominence in the social
world unless she has firm will

These qualities. added to enough OF
wealth to do as she would do. make

Of the American society woman. But

qualities even when their lives are

Opportunity Of suffraaist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in ono
OF the magazines how the women of
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when
crisis, such as that in 1904. when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
In Russia took place at the same time,
occurred. they proved they could
make peace by doing It, Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.
