Bert Sheridan, the musical director,
is a musician of note, and also pos
sesses a fine baritone voice. Miss
Anna Mcmahon, the soprano soloist
has a voice of unusual quality. Henry
Walk, who plays a 500 on Martin

KEENEY'S

An act which will undoubtedly
prove one of the biggest drawing
cards of the season in local vaude-
vile has been specially obtained by
Frank A. Keeney, proprietor of
Keeney's Theatre, for the first half
Of the coming week. 1t is a notable
presentation, full of the martial
spirit which is just now in the air.
1t is presented by the U. S. A. Boys,
fourteen In number, and shows stir
ring and picturesque scenes of camp
and battle, including the operation of
rapid-fire guns, the scaling of wall
and the capture of fort. This will
be the last appearance of these young
actors on any stage pr or to their en-
listment for service in Mexico. every
one having declared his intention to
volunteer. Those who see the act
will have an opportunity to observe
at first hand the calibre of some OF
the men Uncle Sam Is sending to the
front. They are finished craftsmen
in the school of the soldier.
Another act VIII CHI will be OF
especial interest, particularly to the
children, is Roberts Animal Circus.
The performers are three monkeys, a
bear and six dogs. They have been
appearing as headliners on the big
time bills.
Among the comic features of the
program will be Harriet Dale and

also thinking Of starting a revolution
against the king. "Hawthorne" learns

of this and decides to inform the king.
The king leaves the palace, leaving
Hawthorne" there, and as the mob
enters he tells them, you are all
fools, fighting is no business?' Then
he shows them how Americans make
money. The kingdom is prosperous,
and as Hawthorne" and the princess
depart the kings face is beaming with
smiles. As Hawthorne" would say,
Go to it, for it will receive the orig

acters offer every opportunity to the
entire company to show themselves at
their extreme best,
Miss Mabel Brownell has had so

sung in America until the present
season, although all of the principals
have won high distinction upon the
opera stages of the Cd world, the
music capitals of the southern repub-
lies and the large cities of the Pacific
coast. A complete grand opera or
chestra of thirty selected players and
a superb singing chorus are eXcep-
tional features of the san Carlo Com
pany. The organization has every

and the productions well nigh per-
feet. As the company is completely
