1t is a distinct advance from a rnusi-
cal standpoint and Emily Miller and

scenery are handsome and contribute
to an offering that won genuine ap-
plause.
The bill opens with a rather re-
markable exhibition by SWANS Cats

laughter with a monologue as "The

artist with the banjo on which she
plays not only classic. but catchy pop
ular melodies. The Clevelands, espe-
cially Marion, in "Still Argufying.' ''
are a big hit. Black and Tan sing
and amuse with their gags and yodel-

coddle."

BeInsee-ssrhe Thirteenth Chair.
The marked enthusiasm and unmis-
taxable enjoyment OF "The Thirteenth
Chair" shown by capacity audience
at the BeIasco Theater last evening
indicated that this vivid melodrama
will prove a popular attraction this
week. The play contains though
thrills to keep the most blase spec
tator awake throughout the evening,
and some of the situations are SO COM
pelling they make an audience gasp
and thirst for more.
This mystery drama gains much by
virtue of the very superior acting Of
Annie Russell and her supporting
company. Miss Russell gives the fin
ish performance to be expected OF
the real artist she is. In this instance
she plays the part of a lovable old
faker. fraudulent spirituaIistic

Miss Russell gives the part of the
