Act of 1875, De Luxe" This act is
composed of a sextet of some of vaude-
ville's most accomplished musicians
and they offer a diversion that is en-
tirely in a class by itself. The per
sonnet includes Blanche Morrill,, first
violin; Bertha Marine, second violin;
Pauline Schemmer, viola; Audrey
Monroe, violincello; Dace Ransdall,
flute; Dorothy Sherman, piano, and
Genevieve Davis, soprano. These
young women have played together for
a long time and their ensemble and
solo work is declared to be as nearly
perfect as can be found on the vaude-
vile stage today. They dress the act
richly and carry a very pretty special
setting. This is but the feature act.
There will also be WEIGH, Neatly and
Montrose, in play Ball." a baseball
comedy that is said to be funnier than
that offered by the famous "Slivers"
of Ringing circus fame. These three
boys have played the Orpheum circuit
from end to end. Estelle Wordette
and company will present their COM
edy dramatic novelty, "a Honeymoon
in the Catskills," with a special set
ting. 1t is said of this act that it is
one of the highest types OF comedy |
playlets and it has gained a wide rep |
ltation for genuine worth that is the |
envy of many an act. Harris Broth |
ers will sing and dance the newest |
stuff that the amusement market af- |
lords. In addition to conventional Of |
'erings they will add a spice of their |
which has proved the de-
light of audiences in the circuit Rose /

show.

its wooden cloth, and in the middle

Lionel Marks the wife of a profes-
sor of engineering at Harvard. II
is symbolical in that Francis OF
Assist is the saint and The Wolf
OF Gubbio" the sinner and the con-
version OF the latter, who for years
has been the terror and by-word OF
the village OF Gubbio. through the
kindly ministrations Of Francis OF
Assist, and the accompanying action
forms a powerful story that is In
reality classic.
Miss Refine GIBBS Of Florence han
died the part of The Wolf in
way that showed inhorn talent. Miss
Evelyn Mccarthy reflected the kind
ly spirit and humble wisdom OF
Francis OF Assist most worthily
The two thieves Grillo and yechehio
vecchio as portrayed by Irene sny-
der and Agnes Gaughn brought forth
many compliments from those in
the audience. The caste was re-
markably well balanced despite the
fact that girls. alone took each AMI
every part. The staging was a mas
terpiece Of cleverness ar1 ingenuity
when It is considered that the sis
tiers do not have the facilities for
staging a production OF this nature
as does the public theatre. and pro

Musical and Dramatic Programme at
Academy This Morning
At ten o'clock this morning was
held the annual musical and drama
tic programme by the students o.
the musical and dramatic depart
ments OF this efficient school. The
musical numbers were classical in
nature and showed to one who has
never been accused OF being a musi-
cal critic that excellence in techni-
que and harmony and general musi-
cal education are the one goal OF
this department.
The students on the programme
this morning displayed splendid tai
ent and good training. Miss Evelyn
Mccarthy pleased the guests with
her readings which showed n wide
range OF eiocutionary ability.
