CASINO.

This week, featuring Josie Flynn, the
funny g ri, and Amanda Gilbert, a clever
teammate, Perry's Merry Minstrel Maids
are repeating their success of last week
at the Casino Theater with an entirely
new programme of delightful songs and
comic stories in an offerig of the gems
of minstrelsy. The little company in
cludes eleven apt performers, song sing
ers, condolences, and graceful dancers,
and its work seems to increase its popu-
larity with each performance. Features
of this weeks programme are "Sumu-
rum" by Dottie Claire; wedding Glide"
by Margaret Grouse; the Gobble duet
from THE Mascot" by Josie Flynn and
Emma Krause: the lullaby from "Er-
mimic" by Miss Gilbert, and the opening
and closing choruses- The best part Of
an hour is consumed by the performance.
Supplemental features include an ar
tistic series of statuary poses by the De
Palma sisters, an exceptionally fine lot
of specialties by Conrad and Reed,
cabaret entertainers. including some ex-
cellent soft shoe dancing by Reed, and
pretty violin and piano selections by both
and a very laughable monologue full of
lively jokes and local hits by Fred San
ford. Three exceptionally entertaining
f1rst-run, censored photoplays are shown
at each performance.

THE GAYETY.

The Gayety this week presents one OF
the most entertaining shows seen here this
season. With Cook and Lorenz as the
comedians, the action is fast and furious
from start to finish.
The burlettas have no names, and, sc
far as the audience is concerned, they
need none. The performance is a con.
glomeration of mirth and melody, and
met the approval Of two large audiences
yesterday.
Cook and Lorenz are extremely funny
and their antics were the cause of much
merriment during the evening. These
gentlemen have been starred in larger
productions, but their efforts have never
been better appreciated than they are at
present. The supporting company Is good,
and is composed of Fay st. Clair, a lead
ing lady whose work is far above that
usually seen at burlesque houses: Tiny
Rainbow, a clever soubrette, and May
Holden, singing and dancing comedienne,
who is very good.
The male members of the company in
clude Edward Linderman, Thomas w.
Glenroy, James Hughes, william Rus
sell. and James Ryan. The other menu
bers of the company are good in their
respective parts. During the last burletta
a cabaret feature is included, and among
the numbers are Marie Brandon a
dancer far above the ordinary: Misses
Carnes. Griffin and Burns, ''The Musical
Maids" an act that is much better than
is ordinarily seen in burlesque houses,
and Jack Lorenz, a tramp comedian,
whose work lie well known in buriesque
and other shows
On the whole the. show is as good al
those seen at the Gayety this season,
ana the efforts OF the performers are
well appreciated. The chorus is q good
one, and they wear many fetching cos
tunes. The scenic effects are good.

THE ACADEMY.
"The Cowboy and the Thief"


Last night was the opening Of the
stock season at the Academy, under
the direction of Ed w. Rowland, who
will present from week to week q
first Offering is a Western play, en-
titled The Cowboy and the Thief.
from the pen of J. w. Davis, a Western
newspaper man.
There was a large audience on hand
to welcome the new players. as pa
irons of the popular priced theaters
seem to prefer the Western brand OF
drama to that of the tame East.
The Cowboy and the Thief" carries
out the idea of our Western country as
a place of stirring scenes and actions
telling a wholesome story of the land
west of the Rockies, where there is
pictured the rivalry of a good and a
bad man for the love Of a girl.
The company as whole is a good
one, the members giving exceptionally
fine character portrayals of the people
Of the West in the early '70s
Fred Hand, as A ranch overseer, gives
realistic performance. while Miss
Rose Cameron is an ideal flower of
the ranch" Dave Marlowe and George
Clark are satisfactory as villains. Miss
Grace Childers is amusing as the tough
kid of the plains. Edgar Murray, ST..
does good work as cowpuncher. The
others did the very best with the tasks
assigned to them. and with this ex-
ceptionally good company the theater's
patrons will have an opportunity to see
number of high-class and thrilling
offerings.

A bill of high class and varied enter
tainment, combining some of the new
features of the better class Of vaudeville,
is being presented at the Cosmos Thea
ter this week. Two. distinct novelties
are Kendals Auto Girl, a mystery as to

chanical continuance. of which the audi
ence is given very close view, and

iaughable revival Of the old-time street

but not to sell, which is a panacea for
all the fills to which flesh is heir.
Norton and Ayres return with a grace
full and refined offering of song, dance.
and enjoyable comedy; Foster and Low
stt with sketch called who's who?'
All in from fifteen to twenty minutes

'CHASE's.


In these days, which are beginning to
remind one Of the midsummer, one Of
the coolest places is Chase's Theater,
where moving and talking pictures con-
tinue to be the attraction, and will be
throughout the summer.
The talking pictures shown this week
are both comedies. One Is "Dick the
Highwayman," which reminds one Of
the story of Dick Turpin. The othr il
''The Politician" in which the candidate
for ofice makes a Republican speech in
stead of Democratic one, and the aft
ermath Is both novel and amusing. One
only regrets that the manufacturers Of
the pictures would only show operettas
or singing pictures. as in the past, they
have proved to be even more satisfying.
The kinemacolor pictures shown each
week seem to surp@s in beauty the ons
Of the week before. The art OF taking
and projecting them seems to have been
improved.
In addition, each day there are shown
black end white pitcures. With the ex-
ception Of the talking pictures. there IL q

POLI'S.
"Thc Butterfly on the Wheel"

A misunderstood wife. found under in
eliminating circumstances with another
man alone in Paris, then the woman
dragged through publicity and scandal
attending a divorce trial, all on account
of a trusting and frivolous disposition
and a mind that could see no wrong in
a mild Irritation with a friend Of the
male persuasion, is the thread that is
woven in the story of THE Butterfly
on the Wheel The Poll Players fit
into this play like an original cast. and
their performance is finished one.
The poor little butterfly caught and
broken on the wheel of the law Is aptly
portrayed by Izetta Jewel with all the
caprciousness of a woman who loves
her husband, but is not adverse to hav-
ing men make love to her just for van
ity's sake. How she pays the price is
strikingly worked up to, the climax In
the divorce court by Miss Jewel and
the attention Of last evenings audience
was held to the last moment by her
clever acting and the personality she in
jected into the character OF Peggy
Admission.
Thurlow Bergen has very little to do
this week but to look the part of the
stern and pposed-to-be-outraged hus-
band, and his only opportunity occurs in
the second act. This he handles with
his usual ability.
The honors of the evening, that is,
from the standpoint of laughter, GER
tainly go to Dudley Hawley: His i'm
personation Of Lord Ellerdine cannot be
improved upon and his exits are the cue
for rounds of applause. Lolita Linthf-
cum has a role which comprises that Of
the light villainess, and she Is excellently
cast as Lady Atwill. Her work is, as
ALWAYS a finished performance.
Mark Kent, as Sir Robert Fyffe, makes
his only appearance in the courtroom
scene, but he dominates the whole act,
and his cross-questioning of Mrs. Admas-
ton paves the way for the heart-rend
ing finish of this trial. Frank Shannon
has an unsympathetic role in that of
Roderick ColTlngwood. but retrieves him
self in the end. His work was more
than appreciated. Graham Velsey, Helen
Tracy, Thomas Williams, and Harring-
ton Gibbs ell help to complete a we'll
balanced cast.
