| SHOW AT PROCTOR'S.
The pullman Porter Maids" at
| Proctor's last night, scored the ap-
probation of the spectators with its
J wonderful scenery, the famous Ned
Norton and with its eight agile ''por-
| teresses." You see almost in reality
a depot with trains standing on the
tracks, the engine wheels begin to
turn and the trains recede from
view. Norton makes a hit with the
audience in his role of black-faced
comedian, amusing the spectators
with funny anecdotes which he tells
in an individual, humorous style
| The climax of the sketch is reached
when the last train leaves the station
before the spectators own eyes, and
the porter neglecting to get on is left
| behind. He Is seen running for the
fast-fying train which he is not able
to catch before the curtain drops.
Les Valadons amused the specta-
tors with exceptional feats on tight
and loose ropes. The feature of the
performance was rendered when
little child came upon the stage and
wiggled himself through very small
hoops.
Lillian Watson entertained with
| number of catchy songs.
