1.-THE Isle of Boogte Boo" gave en-
tire satisfaction at the Colonial the.
atre yesterday and was greeted by
large audiences at each performance.
The same bill is on for today. The
comedy work is good, while the Spenc-
er trio continues to please with their
singing. The chorus puts plenty Of
ginger in their work and has met with
public favor.
We continue in the firm belief that
the youthful looking little lassie on the
left of the chorus Is about the best
looking chorus girl we have seen with
a tabloid show in this city, but If the
truant officer gets wise we fear she
may have to leave the show, as she
does not look old enough to be out of
school. The lack Of programs at tab.

BROWN GIRLS ARE

Date" is the name Of the play for
yesterday and today and 1t serves to
give the Irish comedian a chance to
shine which he accepts unanimously.
The trap drummer tells us there are
three Brown sisters in the chorus.
There is Gilmore. who dances on her
toes. and another little Brownie"
about as big as Gilmore, whose first
name we can't recall, never having
heard it. There is one more Brown sis
ter in the troupe, but her name is
no longer Brown, she having married.
II Is reported. in order that the other
two sisters could have a nice looking
brother-in-law.
On Tuesday we stated that Gilmore
was the star Of the show and that her
dancing would receive recognition be-
fore the end Of the week. M0desty
forbids us to elaborate on the correct
ness OF il Judgment. 1t is sufficient
to say that u opinion has been sub
Stimulated at each performance when
Elenore brings down the house. II
