JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Enough excitement to last the ordi-
nary persons for several hours was fur
nished yesterday in something less
than half an hour by Frank Sheridan,
who has starred in several Broadway
shows. Mr.. Sheridan presents Richard
Harding Davis "Blackmail." He plays
a mining man. and his interpretatio
would indicate that if Jack London
ever breaks into the "drayma," Mr..
Sheridan will play the Alaskan capi-
talist.
As Richard Fallon, a mine owner,
Mr.. Sheridan saves Miss Mary Stock
well, as Mrs. Howard, from blackmail,
with the assistance of Lewis Wood as
the house detective. H. a La Motto,
as the blackmailer, is good, as are all
of those in the cast. 1t is hard to keep
a vaudeville audience silent, but Mr..
Sheridan and his players managed to
do it.
William A. Brady's Beauty Is Only
Skin Deep," played by nine women,
was a success from the start. The
scene is laid in a beauty parlor, and
one of the features of the sketch is
the portrayal of the type. of women
who devote much of their incomes and
much of their time to the 'tartistes."
Gladys Webster. Georgianna Telfer-
May MiIioS, and Margaret Belmont play
inhabitants of the "parlor," and Leila
Romer, as the lady in the BATH" Mar
garet Hoffman, as Mrs. Herbert Cor
don: Ada Curry, as Mrs. Rutherford
Dean, and Jean Adair, as Mrs Joel
Dixon, and Grace Healy compose the
cast.
Rae Eleanor Ball, violinist, was un-
able to appear, because of a washout
on the railroads between Claveland and
Washington. Percy Bronson and Win
ME Baldwin, in "Pickings from Song
and Dance Land" were very good, and
saved their best features for an en-
core number.
The Bison City Four, the nature of
whose act was disclosed by its title
proved that they are worthy of the
two-a-day. They sang well and had
a good comedian. Jack Ward and Ed
die Weber, in a dancing act, were well
received. Edwin George. comedian and
near-iuggler. warmed his audience un-
iii he was able to bring applause by
winking an eye. His number was ap-
plauded vociferously. Rafayette's dogs
proved clever. The bill, which was ex-
ceIIent, was closed with Pathe's
Weekly.
