The Theatre

At the MaJestic.-Charming Louise
d. esser, co-star with DeWolf Hopper
in the italian Idol having brief va
cation from her Broadway engagement
will come to the Majestic theatre, Chi
cdgo for one week beginning Aug. %.
This is positively her only week in
vaudeville as she is engaged for two
years in musical productions. Miss
Dresser is not only a young woman of
unusual beauty and magnetism, but
singer of rare Skill with a voice Of de-
llghtful quality. Her execution of such
songs as Loving Ways" and I'm jes'
pinin' for you is a treat not easily for
gotten. Aside from this distinguished
hcadliner the bill includes strong ar
r2y of sterling acts. The Grigolatti
flying ballet, although not new, is one
OF the most spectacular and pleasing
acts now on the vaudeville stage and
never fails to create a sensation. Ed
F. Reynard the only ventriloquist with
a production and many novel mechani-
cal devices is a most notable entertain
er, while the Great Henri French is
one of the most versatile performers
on the stage and invariably holds the
attention with his mimicry limitations
and magic. ]. K. Murray and Clara
Lane. are adopts in comedy. The Tenn
lie quartet is one of the best among
the vocal organizations, and Sydney
Shields & Co. have a convulsing farce.
Considerable interest will be excited
by the appearance of Jane Eddington,
a society lady from Dayton. Ohio. who
has made a tremendous success in a
stirring pIaylet OF Mexican life entitled
The Moving Finger"
