ALL ANIMATION AT pR0cT0R'S
FROM BEGINNING TO FINISH

"Well, it's a mighty fine show" said
a spectator last night as the curtain
was rung down on the bill at Proc
tors Theatre, and that one must have
expressed the minds of all. For a pre-
Christmas week bill the program is an
unexpected treat. The acts this week
are unusually pleasing from curtain
to curtain.
Helen Cannon, a clever whistler and
bird imitator, who appeared first, made
a flattering hit, and each act there
after seemed to please better than the
preceding one until the closing animal
act, Towards ponies and dogs, the
audience was Unanimously unstinted.'
Nearly all the acts require full stage,
yet with their opening or closing lin
one" no waiting was necessary.
Frank Milton and the belong sisters
put the house in the best of humor,
and were compelled to do their bow
a dozen times.
John Corcoran and Harland Dixon,
with their eccentric dancing, estab-
lished themselves in the hearts of the
crowd.
: The hit made by j. C.. Nugent, in
1.-THE Sqnarer," was a "home run" II
was n genuine Franklin Baker drive.
He was ably assisted by Miss julie

necks.

BIDS ARE OPENED FOR
TWO NEW FIRE HOUSES.
Figures Indicate More Money
Will Be Needed.

The public buildings committee OF
Common Council last night re-
ceiyed bids for the construction of the
central fire station on Academy street,
west of washington street, and the
Fifteenth Ward engine house on Mt.
Prospect avenue, south of Sixth ave-
nue.. There was ifty-four bidders in
all. The architects for the central sta
ton ares John II. and Wilson Ely.
Alfred Peter designed the other build
ing.
At the present time there are not
enough funds available 10 construct
both buildings If the bids are a crl-
terion of what the awards will be- II
may be necessary to raise more funds
for the completion of both.
The separate bids for the engine
house follow:
Mason work, Pellegrino Pellentrio,
$13, Psi; carpenter, Lucas Peter, $685.;
painting, Charles Stopper, 1852; cleo
trical work, MCGOWAN and McCabe,
$407: heating, s.. r. Wilson, $1,241; iron
work, Goeller Iron Works, $3.50, and
for ROOF and sheet metal work, Jacob
Steipberg, 50, 125. This totals to $32.62
and with the 6 per cent. for the archi-
teet, 81, 1851. IA. the amount is $34 .5S6 "A,
The general bid for the central sta
ton was made by W. II. Connolly foI
$47, 6S4. The architects fees Will be
50, S61.04 and the total $50,545.04.
The next lowest general bid was by
Thomas j. Machinson, $50, 1855. The
lowest separate bids amounted to
SOL, $40.
There is some doubt as to the for
mality of the Connolly bid because of
a clause which does not make clear
whether tn contractor intends fur
nishing the electrical fixtures.

"AT HOME AND ABROAD" GOOD
Roth WAYS AT THE GAYETY.

There is no one that witnessed the
performance of the college Girls in
the tYo-act musical comedy AT Home
and Abroad but will admit that this
is the best show that has been pro-
duced by the manager OF. the Gayety
Theatre this season. The entire show
from the rise of the curtain to the fall
is one of action.
There is considerable plot to the
play. As in all musical shows, there
must be a set of lover who are bound
to awe trouble. Here there are two
sets of lovers and two stern fathers
who seriously object to the marrying
Of their respective sons and daugh-
ters. The action of the story carries
the players from the campus TO gay
Paree, where all end well and the
consent of the fathers is given to their
sons and daughters rparrying.
Abe Reynolds comes in for h lions
share of credit. His work is above
the average, and the applause that
greeted him every time he came into
the spotlight was just what he de
served. Sharing the honors with him
was Ed. Rogers, who is a good char
acter comedian. Altha Phillips, who
played the part of the college widow,
was very charming. The women Of
this city would do well to just stroll
in and take a peep at her wonderful
gowns. They are exquisite and the
latest creations, and furthermore she
knows how to wear them, n then,
too, they fit well on her form.
Beatrice, that's all, entertained till
her fingers were sore on the violin.
She is q dancing musician. and while
this is her first season before the pub
lie she win surely improve after the
bit of stage fright has worn off. 9th
ers 20 entertain were May Walsh,
George Leonard n Clara Hendrix.
Special mention must be made If Miss
Norris Wood, who was exceptionally
clever in dialect songs and impersona-
tions. Her portrayal of the efferves-
cent Eva Tanguay is extremely clever,
and the audience did not seem to get
enough.

in such cases and now marcheth on

merry laughter gurgleth out ten golden
