THE REVIEWERS THOUGHTS

donkey with an inherent sense OF
husnor and who takes great interest in
amusing the audience, is the feature of
the first act. In fact. he Is the whole
show, the man and woman being mere
incidentals.
Wheeler and Wilson. a slender and
agile man and comeiy and also agile
young woman. do lot OF straight and
eccentric dancing. marred only by their
attempts at singing and quasi jokes.
Their dancing really .nerited the tre-
mendous enthusiasm 1t awoke. The
Transatlantic Trio vocalist and
two banjo performers, gave a very
pleasing and attractive entertainment
refreshingly different from the general
run in its closing scene. representing
a Southern home Of ante-bellum days.
Hopkins and Axteil, and another
present an absurd sketch, which is a
very laughable travesty. the incident
occurring in a Pullman car. The act
is one OF the best on the bill and prob
ably the most enjoyed.
James Fl. Cullen, a monologist. who
has served big time" all over the
Keith circuit. makes his bow to a
Richmond audience. and with a clever
line of parodies, studded With local re-
ferences, he won his way into high
favor. In response to the demands he
essayed a number of jokes. consisting
of misplaced phrases, advertising signs
and epitaphs. This part OF his work
was considerably married by the intro
auctions OF several lines whose sole
claim for laugh is based upon their
double entendre. Just why the vau-
deviile artist should insist upon the
risque TO gain favor is inexplicable
and equally inexcusahle.
Closing the bill comes the spectacle
OF Nepture's Garden. the most re-
markable act of its Kind ever staged
in Richmond. The plot is based on
NEUROLOGICAL incidents and is outlined
in full In the program. The staging Of
the act is masterpiece OF the stage
mechanics art, and this feature alone
was applauded as the curtain rose
Just how the members of the COM
pany dive headlong into pool and
after remaining under the water for q
space of ten minutes reappear differ
entity CARRIED. you can conjecture for
yourself. At any rate that the act is
well worth seeing you will be compelled
to admit. And in addition 1T is the
feature act of one of the best bills Of
the season. Go and Judge for your
self.

NORFOLK. Jan. 4.--Davis A. Rob-
Artson. the smuggling star of the South
ern league last season, and now a
member OF the New York Giants, has
heard the call OF the Federals. Two
offers have been made to Robertson
to Join the new organization now be-

seriously enough of either Of them TO
cut loose from the McGraw OUTFIT.
One Of the propositions came to him
from the Pittsburg Federal club. and
the other was an indirect offer of n
berth ON the Federal organization in
Chicago.
Robertson arrived in Portsmouth
Saturday night for brief visit to his
parents. and last night he verified the
