TEMPLE.

Mile. slmone de Berry,. fresh from
the Folies Bergere. heads an unusual
ly good bin in the Temple this week
with an act that Is novel and artistic.
Mile. De Beryi furnishes the center
for series OF pictures thrown on
the screen behind her and adorns
each one with her charms. The eff.
I Fects cover a variety of subjects, from
the tabled mermaid TO the resplen-
dent oriental princess. but each OFFERS
opportunity for a pretty face and a
pleasing figure that Mile. de Beryl ac-
cepts gracefully.
The big laugh on the bill is provided
by II. T. Mcdonnell, the president
OF the Is club. who gives about as
good an exhibition OF simple foolish
ness as Is ever seen. In the course OF
his act. he gathers up two assistants
who have good voices and help him
out In the singing portions of the act.
II Is an original bit OF comedy and
made big hit with the crowd, Mon
day.
The sketch is presented by Una
Clayton and her players, and Is called
"a Little Child Shall Lead Them"
Miss Clayton plays the part Of Una,
street urchin with a penchant for
babies, and In the role OF the little
child" brings about a reconciliation
between Richard Jordan, played by
Francis Morey. and his scapegrace
son, Hugh. played by Herbert Griffin.
The playlet contains some good stu
ations but there are some spots that
seem a trifie crude. Miss Clayton as
usual, plays the child part In good
style.
Elizabeth Murray furnishes good
share of the entertainment with her
character songs She has a way OF
singing them that found high favor
with the audience.
The first number on the bill il Mile.
Martha, and the latecomers miss
something II they do not get there in
time for her act. Not only does she
do some thrilling and sensational!
stunts on the trapeze and descension
rope but she adds to the picture a
good figure and dazzling smile.
Butler Haviland and Alice Thornton
provide farce that has some humor-
GUS moments called "A Question OF
Policy" Some OF their conversation
is funny and some OF II Is new.
George Mullen and Ed. Correlli do
what is called conversational COM
edy acrobatic stunt. introducing some
good tumbling stunts and the original
Bandy does some dancing that Is
called eccentric but which might be
described by several others terms.

LYcEuM.

That indefatigable and earnest
worker, Thomas +. Shea, playing an
engagement, this week, in the Ly.
ceum theater, changed his Offering
from the new play of modern life, "A
Men and His Wife," TO The Bells"
Monday evening. The latter has been
presented by Mr.. Shea, in Detroit, a
number OF times and his character
ization OF the conscience-stricken
Matthias, whose theft of gold and tax
ing of another's life. finally ends his
own madness and death, is realisti-
cally portrayed. This somewhat grue
some play, used by the late Sir Hen
ry Irving, for SO many years, has
been elaborated from the shorter Iry-
ing version, into a four-act drama for
tho use of Mr.. Shea. All of the char
acters were creditably taken by the
members OF the Shea company
Another Of the successful roles Of
the Shea repertoire will be offered,
Tuesday evening, when "Dr. Jekyll
anc Mr. Hyde" will be given. This
play. made famous by the late Rich
ard Mansfield. will be repeated Thurs

MILES.

Four as funny fellows as one ever
clapped an eye on are the Messrs
Figg, Scott, Duffy and Ford, consti-
tuting the Orpheus Comedy Four. who
headline the Miles bill this week and
probably are drawing down big money,
for they certainly earn II. They stop
ped the show, Monday afternoon, that
Is, the audience brought them back
with it's storms of applause after the
curtain had gone up on the next act,
and that is about the highest compli-
ment an audience can pay performers.
This Is the quartets second engage
ment In the Miles, the first visit hav.
ing been made little over a year ago,
but their stuff Is mostly new and goes
better tina never. These men are nat
ural comedians, and they are funny
without any apparent effort. Their
stunts. moreover, are all original Two
OF the members make up as broken
down actors and one OF them, lean,
lanky slim-Jim, gets number of
laughs on the strength OF his shape
alone. But the riot begins when they
come tripping out, all In exaggerated
female attire. Two of them are in
hobble skirts and their dancing efforts
are excruciating. The four are good
singers and their songs are in keeping
with the rest Of the act.
The Fetching Brothers have a we'll
staged and decidedly unique musical
act, one OF the best OF its kind, in fact,
that has ever been presented in the
Miles. Both are excellent musicians
and they bring forth harmony from
the most unfuUked.fUr sources--A
climbing rose-bush conceals a set OF
bells. From what appears to be the
stalk Of Easter lily, one of the broth
ers produces as fine piccolo solo
as one ever heard, the other accom-
panying him on the banjo. They pick
up sprinkling cans, as though TO wa
ter the potted plants that stand about,
and the result is another tune, the
cans forming an electrical connection
with the plants" by means of invisible
wires. They step up to pick few
pears from a tree and even the pears
give forth music. Incidentally, they
work of few good jokes.
Provost Brothers are clever tum-
blers, and one OF them easily earns
the title OF the "corkscrew kid" as
the program christens him Boyd and
Moran, in an eccentric comedy skit,
are fairly entertaining, one of the
members springing some original
couplets that are not half bad. The
Mortimer sisters are singers and dane
ers OF ordinary ability and Madame
Tendehoa, who opens the show with
what Is supposed to be an oriental
novelty does little else than display a
somewhat attractive figure. Pictures
of Mutt and Jeff close the bill.
