A male quartet-they call them
selves the Minstrel Four-is winning
most favor with audiences the first
half of the week at the Empire. They
offer 90 minutes of song and jest that
is refreshing. They have voices of
unusual richness and they harmonic

and most of it is new. If this was the
only act on the bill you would feel
that you had been given your moneys

among whom are Dorsch and Russell:

AT The ILLINOIS.

Much interest has been aroused dur
ing the past two years by the produc-
ton of play in New York bearing the
strange title, "Everywoman." The
newspapers and the magazines have
devoted columns of discussion to this
dramatic novelty which is labeled "a
dramatic spectacle" Added attention
was attracted to- "Everywoman" at the
time of its production by the fact that
its author, Walter Browne, a New
York newspaper man, who had labored
upon it for years, died upon the morn
ing of the day of the first performance
of his play which would have realized
for him the ambition of a lifetime.
"Eyerywoman" made an instantan-
eous success. 1t ran continuously in
New York for nearly two years, has
since been translated into other Ian
guages, and only recently made a
sensational success at the Drury Lane
theatre, London. During the time that
