"OyER THE RIVER"

It was laugh, laugh, laugh; rest a while and laugh some more, at the Elks Theatre last night, when Eddie Foy entertained fair house in his overwhelmingly funny musical comedy, Over the River.''
 MT. Foy is born comedian and with his face, he could be nothing else if he tried to be. One has only to gaze upon his countenance to feel himself slipping into the realm of laughter and from the time he made his first staggering appearance until he made his last triumphant bow as the curtain rang down in the last act, his audience was fairly embraced in a veil of laughter and everybody, even the thirsty ones, was sorroy that the play was ended
 MT. Foy' has a unique manner about him. and unique voice, that is simp- ly irresistible and not a single one of his exceedingly clever gags" fell flat last night. He really can't sing, hasn't a voice made for that purpose. but he was encored several times neverthe- less.
 The well known comedian is ably supported in the comedy line by Will liam Sellery, Milton Dawson and Marie Morgan, all of whom are artists of much ability.
 The feature of the show, with the exception of Foy himself, is the danc- ing of James Davis and Pearl Mat hews. This clever couple appear in series of dances and were encored many times. These people are un- doubtedly the best dancers that have ever been in this city and the house fairly went wild over them last night. All of their many dances are executed with the precision of clock-work and not one single break was made.
 The chorus is good one, composed of pretty, well-trained girls, and when led by Miss Nellie Daly, a clever lit tie miss who was encorred until she could hardly sing, it presents pleas ing spectacle.
 It will be some time before as high ly enjoyable a play as "Over the River will be seen in Pine Bluff.
