The one word will suffice to describe
the program offered as the holidays en-
tertsinment in The Passng Parade,
the bill which began the week at the cay
ETY. yesterday. Tho lines are different;
the scenic effects are different; the cos
tuning Is different; the musical numbers
are different and the chorus, In way,
is different.
THE Passing Parade" is SO unlike the
usual burlesque that II scarcely can be
called burlesque, 1t may be classed as a
hybrid OF musical comedy and eNtrava-
ganza. Like musical comedy. Il almost
has a plot. Like extravaganza, II moves
with a crash and dash that Is pleasing
the applause OF two large audiences Ses-
terdRy warrants that verdict
James Rowland, as an Irish cabman and
Charles Aveling as German hotel pro
prietor carry well the comedy OF the
show. which is principally brought about
by wishing stick. happily introduced
by the author as a hinge for his plot.

What Happened to Mcclure" and

CITY COUNCIL WILL CLASH

When the city council meets In com
mittee of the whole tomorrow afternoon
the tranquility of the holiday season will
be again disturbed with the clamor of
war. Couneilmen and citizens and legal
learning is arranging lines Of opposition
and support in the Eleventh street via
duct controversy. The railroads want TO
repair the viaduct at an expense OF $4,000.
The citizens assert that they want to do
so only because their fight in the courts
against the construction of a new via
duct, which has dragged for a long time,
is about to be decided against them.
Councilman Davis introduced a resolution
at the last council meeting giving the
corporations the right TO repair the via
duct, but an attorney for the property

singer of stage language. There is

excels at utilizing it in a play. His
The Chorus Lady which comes to
the Opera House on Friday, Nov. 3,
is full length play as emotional as
Mrs. Fiske or Mrs. Carter, but with a
fluent diction still defiant of the die
tionaries. Patricia O'Brien doesn't
kiss promisciously. however, even
though she is a chorus girl, for she
is wise to the game, cuts the Johnny
joker out of the pack, deals the cards
straight and plays them to win out

Chicago, six months in London and
six months in Boston and with prac-
ucally the same cast that appeared

of the largest musical comedies on
tour and requires two sixty-foot bag
gage cars and two Pullman cars for
the transportation of the company and
its effects. The company is playing
at the Tulane theatre in New Orleans
this week and from all reports is at
tracing large crowds. The following
criticism is taken from the New Daily
Item of Monday, Oct. Goth: THE
Echo the dancing disportment offer
ed Sunday night for the entertainment
OF the patrons of the Tulane, is
musical comedy out of the ordinary.
It's as dainty and refreshing a mix
ture of music, dancing and humor as
Broadway has sent southwark in many
day, and big audience welcomed it
cordially. Tie star of the piece is a
nimble footed girl named Blanche
Deyo. The vaguest kind of rumOrs
concerning her talent had trickled this
way, and she was not very well known
in New Orleans when she tripped
upon the stage Sunday night, but the
audience soon made it known to her
that she and her work were very sat
isfactory. The Echo" was construct
ed primarily for the purpose of anus
ing the New York crowds who flock
to the theatre during the warm nights
OF early summer. 1t is frOthy but
the froth is delightful. The lines are
bright and sparkling and the music
stays with you. A young man with
statistical tendencies calculated that
the principals and the ensembles spend
81 minutes in actual dancing. There
are also about 100 moments given over
to singing, and brief spell to dia-
logue, swift scintillating repartee.
Miss Caroline Dixon is a charming
little lady with a voice of retrazzini
propositions She sang selections
from I'LL Trovatore' in the Italian, and
responds to an encore with a con-
einental version of Rose Marie" one
of the sweetest of American street
songs. Herman Hirschbergs Ru-
dolph W. Sylvester is a good charac-
terization of the high class German,
whose dialect does not desert him
even though he does acquire wealth.
THE Echo will remain at the Tu-
lane the rest of the week, with matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday"

A rare treat is in store for the Pen

Chocolate Soldier" which comes to
the Opera House Thursday evening,
November 9Th.

good things, and the interest already
evidenced in the fascinating music of

The quaint humor of George Ber-

opportunity for an unusual range of

cause the fancy to dance with it in
its lighter moods in much the same
way as Der Meister- singer" with
which The Chocolate Soldier has so
often been likened.

THE Copperhead' is new war
picture of the very best quality and

of a "Coprerhead" who sympathized

full of action, showing several very
realistic battle scenes.
The management Of the Elite have
decided to extend Billy Boyd's contract
until next Saturday OH which day he
will make his last appearance for the
time being. It is difficulty to class the
style of Boyd's work. OF course he
is a singer but the term entertainer
may be more correctly employed. His

back ground. Very few singers indeed
are able to do justice to a comic song
as he does. His rendftions fairly bub-
