ress, Johnny Hyams and Leila Me l1ntyre. Otis Harlan, Harry Davenport, Dorothy Jardon. Wal1y McCutcheon and Vera Maxwell were not enough | to make any duchess dance. We will have to wait until the papers come in tomorrow to hear what hap pened to the duchess; but a list of names like that should breathe life into any dead one, and the advance notices state that Her Grace is very much alive.
 In the East All Same Phoenix | Do you remember those two red headed De Won girls that raised par ! ticular old Ned at the Colum- bia theater along about the sec
 ond or third week after the theater opened? We thought they were pretty good then and figured that we had seen a lot of acts on the big time that were not nearly as good. Well they have just busted into" the big time at Brighton Beach, 1 N. Y., and the customers thought as well of them as we did out here in 1 Phoenix. Result, twenty weeks over the United Booking Office time, which is travelling some, even for a couple of little red-headed devils like Hattie and Marguerite The next time they come west, we shall have to travel to some place where there is an Orpheum if we want to see them-and we DO want to see them. A Human Three Ring Circus That is the way the critics describe i Sylvestre Schaffcr, who is amazing | New York at the Forty fourth street i theater. Like nearly all tie new pro- i auctions this fall. bis opening was postponed for several weeks but it was worth waiting tor No man has 1 been more eXtravagantly press agent 1 ed than this same young German; | but according to every authority, and
 the real authorities are back now, it
 was all warranted. In spite of the 1 fact that his own particular act was | pl leceded by some of the most re-
 markable vaudeville that has ever 1 been seen in New York, and that it
 ran for the unprecedented length of an hour and twenty-five minutes he
 charmed, thrilled ano delighted his
 audience as no individual artist on an American vaudeville stage has ever done before"
 This is a broad assertion to make, but any one who doubts it has only
 to see this young mans extraordinary | performance to be convinced. z At tho i conclusion of each of his nine special- | ties the reception which he received | grew warmer and warmer until his ] final act earned him an ovation. i There was no escape from the genius 1 of this man, but greater than any of
 his individual feats was the remark
 able personality of the man himself.
 This was shown not only in the fas-
 cination which he exerted over his
 audience, but in the extraordinary power which he had over all the
 animals which took part in many of 1 his acts.'

 in grand style by giving me the royal
 box It was then I decided that the
