TWO GOOD little
MUSICAL SHOWS
Colonial and Hippodrome
Both Present Bills Very
Much Worth While.

The Individual who coined the ex.
preston Competition is the life OF
trade had profound knowledge OF
business principles and theatricals In
general and vaudeville In particular
robustness then tits not mere &c.
cident that the two best tabloid must.
cal shows that have been on the board
IN this town this season are now ap'
pearing respectively at the Colonial,
which this week broke into the variety
game, and at the Hippodrome, where
It has been feature for some time.
Doubtless better bills than these
two are the rule at Keith's, In Phila.
delphia, or at the Winter Garden In
New York, but when the theatre goer
gets right down to the brass tacks OF
the Fairmont situation he will have TO
recognize that, SO far as this season
isyconcerned. all but one Of the attrac.
lions that were presented here at tho
higher prices fell below the standard
that these little pieces present.
The show at the Hip leads the Colo.
nial IN the matter of the dancing OF
the chorus, but 1t is the other way
around when 1t comes to singing. The
musical performances OF the princi-
pals are better at the Colonial than
they are at the older house, but tho
work of the Dixie Quartet more than
makes up for the difference.
At both houses the show Is clean
and the people, II not world heaters
are yet very much worth the price Of
admission and 1t is TO be hoped that
they will both get enough support at
the box offices to encourage the re-
spectiye managers to do 1t again.
AT the Hippodrome show the fun
making centers about Alex Saunders.
a comedian who probably would make
aSbetter impression II 1t were got for
the fact that Fairmont has been Civ
en- a pretty steady diet OF Hebrew
comedy In the past several weeks.
Supporting him are Doc Jones. a clev.
er German comedian. Homer Leath-
ergill, Marie Maxine and Earl Lane.
The chorus includes Pauline Rose.
mond. Pearl Devere. Marie Decameron,
Flo Deyere and Ada Miller. The cos.
tuning is good, the songs catchy and
the Jokes good enough.
The Honeymoon Girls company at
the Colonial consists OF 10 people.

while it is being cleaned. Wash them
in a five per cent solution of some
good coal tar di~sinfectant, such as ere
sonol or zenoleum, and leave them
standing in the sun. After the house
is cleaned, apply to the interior a dis

utensils, or a disinfectant whitewash.
This should destroy red mites which
Turk in the c~revices, and kill such dis

whitewash is preferable since it i'm

insure the focks against outbreaks of
disease during the confinement of the
winter months. Choose a clear bright
day for the work and begin early in
the morning. Remove all old litter
from the nests, pits and floor, and
sweep down the walls and roof rafters

hot water to the consistency of thick
cream is known as cream of lime.
Strain before using. Application with
