Refined vaudevnlc,

Mr.. and Mrs. Carter De Haven sang
and talked, and danced their way into

act is SO dangerous that II makes one

For its closing week Of the season, the
Casino offers an attractive bill of vaude-

over the entire bill. McAleavy, billed

be married in fifteen minutes to qualify.
George Lauder, an Australian ventrilo-

act seems to be new. The bill closes with
the Four Aders. who are, perhaps, one
of the fastest juggling quartets In vaude-

Among recent successful farce-come-

lasting hold on popular favor than
Philip Bartholomae's Little Miss

are obvious, and In the hands of the
Poll Company its merits suffer no con-
cealment.
The story of the play. though intricate
and not very different from the generality
Of farcical intrigues. IL carried out with
a satisfying consistency. The special tri-
umph Of the author is his capable way
of guiding the plot around the pitfalls
that lurk about his theme, without ever
overstepping the mark or spelling the
entirely clean and wholesome general ef-
feet. But for the amazing persistency of
some parts of the audience in giggling
over trivial swear words" the per-
formance would be unmarried by any
touch OF vulgarity.
Little Miss Brown. the ingenious maid
en-. who wanders into a hotel at midnight
without money or baggage and Is drawn
into a ludicrous domestic ENHANCEMENT.

manner by Miss Izetta Jewel. The char
acter is well suited to her personality and
she gives an air of reality to all the

Stories Of the Photopiays.
"whcn Men woala KIM"

Here Is a gripping story of q modern
day feud between two respected fami-
lies OF the South over disputed bound
ary line between their adjoining planta-
tons. II Is impossible to describe In Q
few words the rugged. strange and pic
turesque settings Of this ideal story OF
manhood elemental Not one dull mo-
ment will you find from start to finish.
The grudge fight; the accidental shooting
OF old Charlton's daughter; her recovery
and marriage to Jim Redfern. the son OF
her fathers bitterest enemy; and the re-
markable scene showing the Charlton
home in flames; and later the reunion
Of the warning families-these are but a
suggestion of the scenes that will quicken
your pulse and bring the unbidden tears. .
Briefly told. the story concerns the
long-standing warfare between the
Charltons and Redferns. Grace Charlton,
general favorite with everybody, is sent
to New York to study voice under the
leading teachers Of the metropolis Dur
ing her rise to fame and her subsequent
successful appearance In grand opera.
Grace never forgets the lion-hearted Jim
Redfern, who has completely won her by
his primitive wooing. Much as she loves
Jim, she does not hesitate to take sides
with her family against him when the
feud breaks out anew.
Grace receives a telegram that her
father has been wounded. and hastens
to her humble Southern home to direct
the fight for revenge waged by her broth
ers against the Redferns. Later. Grace
receives a bullet In her shoulder that was
intended for her father. The next night
the Charltons' home takes fire, and they
are rescued with great difficulty by old
man Redfern and his sons Jim Red
ferns heroism in rescuing Grace has
brought the feud to an end, and the story
closes with the marriage of Grace and
Jim, and the pact of friendship sealed
forever between the families OF Charlton
and Redfern.
