Few burlesque shows come to the

shade on the New Behman Show, which
opened its weeks engagement at the
popular Ninth street theater yesterday.
Lew Kelly. who has never been seen to
laugh on the stage, and who keeps his
audiences in a constant uproar of laughter
in the main attraction. When it comes
to being funny he is about as funny as
they come.
Sandwiched in between the fun there is
plenty of catchy music and clever dane
ing TO keep every one in a good humor
The show Is different from most burlesque
offerings in that the chorus is given very
little to do, and the principals hold the
footlights the greater part of the time.
1t is a show OF specialities and every
one of them worthy of mention. The Sec
oHd act, which is concluded with a
screaming war time burlesque entitled
Shenandoah" is a vaudeville perform
ance in itself. Gertrude Lynch, as Eva
Tanguay: Laura Hayden. as Maude
Adams: Vic Casmore and George Douglas,
as Montgomery and Stone, were all ex-
cellent. The real hit of he show was
Martelle, woman impersonator.
The supporting company is unusually
large and capable. Freea Florence
Ameta Pynes, and Stella Morrissey form
trio of feminine artists hard to beat
Hayden is violinist of exceptional talent,
and Ameta Paynes and George Douglas
have a dancing speciality that is a hum

The point made by the Erie is that
