JACKSON'S
Mile. Gcnee in ''The Silver Star"

James Douglass, the English critic ,re-emirent of classic dancing. wrote :,s follows of the latest London ap- pearance of Adeline Genee, the III comparable dancer, who will be seen in this city at Jackson's theatre tnls evening. i1i Klaw & Erlangers The Silver Star
 Art is the austerity of joy. Ade- line Genee is a joyous austerlty. one is not bewilderingly beautiful. She IS devoid of sensuous charm or Valuptu- ous appeal. You would pass her Ill the street without suspectlng her gen jus. She is an artiste who expresses herself only in the dance. AS sno stands in the wings that strange TO- mantle change begins to steal over her, and the magic that is stored Tn her brain and her blood pulse into her limbs. Then a birdlike sWoop ana she passes out of prose into poetry.
 Her dancing is an ebuihence or l1nsaddened youth, a spontaneous riot of girlish excitement woven into lovely pattern of merry p1routtes and flowing arabesques, rounded limbs anu airy attitudes, light leaps and sallles and twinkling entrechants. The intri- cate notes of her dancing melt into q visible music. as the waves melt into the seas. Her technical skill con- ceals itself in her temperament, for she uses her temperament to express her health and her hope and her high spirits, her delight in being alive, her exultat ton in things as they are and in herself as she is." Though the sale of seats has been extremely large, there still remains number of choice sitting for which an early application should be made. The cur tain rises at S:15 p. m. sharp.
 The Rays in s.INing Casey"
 Once more local theatre goers are to have an opportunity of seeing The Rays-Johnny and Emma-in their riotout musical farce-comedy, King Casey" at Jackson's theatre, next Monday evening. for single per formance only. Of the ability of these clever farceurs little need be said First coming into public notice Tn vaudeville, they soon afterwards made a pronounced success of the farce, "A Hot Old Time" That piece was used for seemingly interm1nable period, and was finally laid aside for Down the Pike" in which Johnny Ray as- stunned a new character, or rather new occupation for the same old character. He becomes King Casey" and a right old jolly Irish king he makes. Casey was Casey in "A Hot Old Time" and Down the Pike" He is still Casey in "King Casey" wheth- CT as Fireman or temporary 1ncumb- ent of the throne. The Ray humor is always uppermOSt, no matter where you find it. The story of the present piece IS based upon mistaken lden- tity and the mixing of twin brothers. The company is composed of fifty carefully chosen people, and the stag ing and dressing is as near perfect as money and labor can make it. Seats are now on sale:
 Jackson's Vaudeville.
 The engagements of Mile. Genee in the great musical play ''The Silver Star this evening, and The Rays in their biggest success King Casey on Monday evening necessitate tenn porary lay-off of the unusually popu-- lar vaudeville program for these two days, but it will be resumed again on next Tuesday afternoon and another one of those great bills which is daily furnishing high class amusement for thousands of local theatregoers will be offered The unprecedented suc- cess scored by the great Volta in his startling electrical demonstrations at this theatre few weeks ago induced Manager Jackson to arrange return engagement for this act, and he de- sireS to announce that arrangements nave just been completed for a return visit.
