AT THE MAJESTIC.

1t has been some time since a
comedy act created as much amuse-
ment at the Majestic as Tom Lin
tons new farce-sketch which is feat
ured for the last half OF the week.
Linton has always been a versatile
performer and writer, but he has
reached his best effort in the COM
edy he now presents with four peo-
pie. The skit is based on the moth
er-in-law story, but the angles are
so new, the action so varied and orig
inal and the situations so close TO
those of genuine farce, that the
audience laughed steadily for nearly
half an hour. Burnison and Tay-
lor provide good amusement by
means of a two-scene sketch. Both
are accomplished performers and
scored we'll with the audience. Hugh
Blaney brings some descriptive COM
ic and sentimental singing to the
house which has not been seen here
for several seasons. The RusticanO
trio of stringed musicians provide
classical, operate and popular music
and though it is all in the Italian
tongue, there need be no fear that
it cannot be appreciated. Their sing
ing and playing is very good. AS an
added attraction, Miss Henrietta
Calmly gives an interesting and in
structive moving picture talk on Or
egon, taking the audience through
that great state and showing the nat
ural and commercial wonders 1t is
a pretty good show throughout

promising as security, in the event of
failure, his pledge to turn into the
paper one of the biggest stories New
York has ever known. AS the tip
fails, Wright is compelled to make
good This he does by offering him
self as the prize in a lottery which
is to be conducted by the newspaper.
Naturally the coupons appeal mostly
to women and the campaign among
the thousands of contestants wakes
warm Shortly after Jack has offered
himself as the human prize, he falls
in love with Helene Heyer, which
fact causes him to deeply regret his
entry into such foolish scheme. An
unexpected turn of affairs takes place
when the lucky coupon is won by the
old maid companion to Mrs. Payton.
The lady maiden being very much, as
She thinks, in need, of a husband
eagerly holds on to the lucky number,
only giving it up under the most ex-
traordinary circumstances. This in
main is the thread of the delightful
story that Rida Johnson Young-au-
thor of Brown of Harvard" by the
way-has woven in The Lottery Man,
which after its long run at the Bijou
Theatre. New York, comes here with
