BALD.HEAD ROW GONE GIVES
REFINEMENT TO WALDMANN'S

That the Marcus Loew vaudeville
performers are live M up-to-date was
proven last night, when vaudeville
patrons flocked to Waldmann's sum-
mer playhouse to see the best that the
professionals had to offer. The place
has a cooling system which makes one
imagine that the winds are blowing
and the snow falling on the outside.
The women and children also are in
evidence, and the rows of bald-headed
men that used to be In evidence are
sadly missing. But the new style OF
the house is clean and up to date,
and is a great improvement over bur-
lesque.

The slang of the female partner and
the attempt to show how things are
managed behind the footlights is very
good. The scenery carried by the
team is also great, and they were en-
titled to all the applause they got,
which was some. Second in point of
merit and vying with the former
team are Floyd and Russell, colored
performers. They are singers of ability
and excellent takers. and will make a
hit anywhere.

REALISTIC PANTOMIME THRILLS
PROCTOR THEATRE AUDIENCES,

A well-balanced bill was presented
to a rather slender summer audience
at Proctor's Theatre last night.
Martin Ferrari & Co., in the panto-
mime, THE Life of the Apache" was
easily the best thing on the bill. A
street in hat part of Paris where the
other half lives, an inn ~frequented by
Apaches, a real Apache dance, all these
were there to make the whole look
real. 1t was so well acted that spoken
words would not have made 1t any
more ineligible. The dance was un.
usual in character, and one wonders
at the litheness and grace with which
the young woman who dances with
Ferrari does the extremely difficult
dance.
When one says that Leander de
Cordova & Co., in The sketch, "Thf
Loop Hole" is intensely melodra-
matte, one says all that car be said
for 1t. 1t is very much overdone, and
the acting does not come up to the
playlet itself, which is constructed
we'll and has a good plot.
Gretchen Hartman Is both pretty ans
graceful, and altogether pleasing in hel
impersonations. The Balaschoff troupe
is a maze OF colorful and graceful dane
ing.
Donovan and Arnold, the Irish com
edy stars, deserve more than passing
mention, providing quite a good dea
Of entertainment. THAT rascal" Loney
Haskell, tells some new jokes and some
old ones in an entirely new way thai

provides rather a good summer night;
