THE THEATRES
JACKsON's
Jackson's Vaudeville,

Jaclzson's Vaudeville.
 Were you one of that immense fnrong who were unable to procure q seat at Jackson's theatre, last even Ing, when the new bill of vaudeville
 RoeElrs, in their nerve-rackiner c,ycliner
 act, was presented? And even ticugh
 3e'u were forced to stand tIroughoI1t i eoiy had TO regrets for doing so, and i agreed with the rest Of the tremcnd-
 GUS audience present, that it WAS a.
 Performance fully worth the time and money expended.' An boys b11t It was a gala night at Jackson's, last
 eNen1hg: At no other performance
 since the inception of vaudeville at
 that theatre, has there been so large an attendance. The S. R. O. sign
 was hung out at p. na, and there
 was du1ly 1000 persons unable to get

 W nile the cage revo1ved from side to side at the same time. The silence In the theatre was death-Iike; nerv- extreme pitch, and the majority of the audience expected terrible ac- cident would occur. But everything passes off smoothly, and the young rider looping the globe number of times, jumped from his bicycle and emerged from the cage tired but edgments to the t1nunderous applause accorded him. It is a thriller with a big T, and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
 The other acts which were on the bill were fully up to the standard of excellence for which this theatre is noted. One of the most pleasing singing specialties that has ever been seen in this city was offered by B1amphi & Her, and their duets came l ir for a most generous share of ap- plauSe. Their songs are all of the 1 popular brand and are rendered in i artistic and highly attractive style. l The usual horse play and buffoonery which usually attends a singing turn is not to be found, and whatever ap- 1 plause they get is earned strictly by | their vocal ability.

Burt Granville in clever character imper- | sOnationS and songs proved a most 1 versatile performer, and his efforts | were warmly received. His dress and 1 makeup for each character are en- | tirely different, and are accomplish 1 ed in full view of the audience.
