Gayety.

The Gayety contributed its customary
quota of songs, dances. pretty tableaux
and general entertainment last night, the
visiting contingent for the week being Sam
Howe's Own Show. The organization leaves
no doubt as to the propriety of the title
inasmuch as Sam Howe is personally in
evidence. doing very much as he pleases in
a way that pleases everybody. He is a
favorite comedian and does not hesitate to
surround himself with players well equip
ped to serve as pacemakers "a Wife
in Every Port Is the jocosely nautical
title Of the skit in which the performers
introduce a varied line of entertainment
It is fun Of the burlesque school without
deliberate effort to shock the seasoned
taste that looks to this form OF diversion
for the latest quips and songs and dances.
Snitz Moore took possession OF the center
of the stage from time to time with Sc
curity of a man who knows just where
he stands with his audience. Miss Billie
Hill and retinue of other feminine en-
tertainers contributed to the merriment
as well as to the pictorial attractiveness.
