X, quaint story of the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch. 'Tillie, a Memo
rite Maid cannot fail to remember
the delightfully."- sympathetic "Aunty
En-" whose loyalty to Title saved
her much abuSe from her stern faith
er, and who pleads with her not to
let the little curls show beneath her
white cap. SO that she will not be
set back" in the Mennonite faith,
nor Tillie herself, the girl heroine,
whose struggle to attain her ambi-
tion-an education-whose uncon1-
planning suffering and whose ro-
nance made her particularly inter-
esting character. 1t is the role of
Title" that dainty Patricia Collinge
is playing this season, and the play,
comedy in four acts entitled Til
lie," will be presented at the Bran
deis for three days, starting next
Monday.
Miss Rachte, who walks in her
sleep at the Boyd this afternoon and
evening, gives not only lifelike pic
ture of real somnambulist, but
shows how we'll beautiful girl can
look in simple frock, although her
night robes may arouse wonder and
maybe envy among those who know
most about such things. "She
Walked in Her Sleep" is one of the
brightest, cleanest farces ever writ
ten, and is very we'll played by the
company having it in hand. The
engs cement ends tonight.
Fiske O'Hara is playing at the
Brandeis theater in his new roman
tic comedy, Down Limerick Way"
in which he has the part of an Irish
nobleman whose family are trying
to get him married. He is left, in
the will of departed friend, the le-
gacy of a beautiful girl, and the
amusing complications arising from
this situation causes mirthful inter
1udes. Mr.. O'Hara sings a num-
Der of new song selections, fresh
with the fragrance of the Erin Isle.
Harry Watson, jr., the stellar at
traction this week at the Orpheuln,
does not have to depend on humor-
Gus lines to create hearty laughter.
Some of his best best comedy is the
result of facial play and pantomime.
The most novel feature of the cur
rent bill is band of 19 instrument
talists, all Of whom are Chinese per-
formers. Their repertory includes
descriptive selections, marches and
jazz music.
The Roseland Girls, now playing
at the Gayety theater, is one of the
newest kind of burlesque entertain
ments, and not only includes good
come dians, but lots of real live COM
edy that tickles. The musical part
of the show is absolutely enjoyable,
and so are the pretty show girls,
who form a handsome chorus and
assist in the attractive ensemble
work.
Manager Ledoux of the Empress
theater announces two special feat
ure acts in addition to his regular
program of four acts of vaudeville
as special Ak-Sar7Ben attractions.
One of these is a novelty singing
and talking act, featuring Janis and
Gaddney, entertainers who have met
with success throughout the circuit.
The other is an aerial act in which
Howard and Howard perform dar-
ing and sensational feats. An act
of merit is the pretentious singing
and instrumental novelty, "A Night
in Venice presented by quartet
of talented musical artists. A de-
1ightful little skit is What is 1t All
About" which affords Howard
Mack and Henrietta opportunities to
introduce a number of splendid
specialties in song. dance and story.
The comedy playlet offered by Ar
thur De Voy and his company of
players is worth while.
