The fact that IAN American Widow
after having been considered non
success in the east, has made an un-
qualified hit in San Francisco ana Los ;'9
Angeles. with Miss Virginia Harmed IN
the leading role, has resulted IN an
anxiety on the part of eastern man

The liveliest bill Of the season at
Bristol Pier cafe thus far Is dellghtlns
the thousands of guests who patronize
the popular resort. From the opening
by Nine Fougere, heralded as the
greatest of all Parisiennes in the lime
light to the operatic selections by MISS
Phillips, the 1910 Carmen" the pro
gram proved of the rapid-fire variety
Sunday, when more than 5000 persons
were entertained at the out-at-sea
hostelry.
The French comedienne, who has re-
turned to the pier for the week only,
presented ten new acts during the day:
Her Salome dance in imitation of Maud
Allen is one Of the best things seen In
this vicinity for many months. Inc
new costumes worn by the artist were
beautiful and very attractive
The debut of Miss Carmen Philips
into the ranks of vaudeville proved a
success, pleasing to the star and hlghly
satisfactory to the big audiences pres
emf during the day and evening. One
of the most beautiful brunettes on the
stage, Miss Phillips proved alluring IN
her striking costumes. Her voice lost
none of its rare beauty during her
operatic engagement of the past year.
She sang several classical selections
and danced, much to the delight OF
auditors.
Happy Van Allen, seen here for the
first time, delivered a batch Of popular
songs in a manner which drew him
many encores, while the great Lam
bert, baritone supreme, was as salts
factory as ever. The special talent put
on for the benefit of the great crowds
was exceptionally pleasing. The man
agement of Bristol Pier cafe seems to
be sparing no efforts to make that nos
telry interesting and attractive to the
public at all times.
"It Happened In Reno" as Alphin
and Fargo offer it at the Olympic, is
a burlesQue on the late Johnson-Jef-
fries fight. 1t was written by Charles
Alphin. Jeff has been taken i'll, and 1t
is impossible for him to fight. Not
wanting to disappoint the public, his
and the fight promoters OBJ
tain a little Dutchman who somewhat
resembles Jeff to impersonate him and
fight the smoke, which he does in order
to avoid paying his wife alimony.
The fight is a boxing burlesque.
Mendel impersonated jeff and Brisbane
played the dinge.
The first few rounds the dinge has
all the best of it, but Dr. Lunk, who
has invented a remarkable nerve medl-
cine that can make a weakllng
stronger than a giant, administers
some of his musseline to Jeff between
rounds which gives him suthclent
strength to win in a punch.
Tex Kickhard, the promoter, Is char
