Good Bill at Illinois.

Yesterday Gus Shy and company
were but a name, now they are
more than famous in this town
from the way the audience took
them last night. They are made,
and Gus Shy and company are not
bit shy on anything in the way
of beautiful wardrobe, good look
ing girls, special scenery and
voices. Mr.. Shy is a light coined
ian, works hard, but pleases easily.
Some of the gowns worn by the
seven girls are a fashion show in
themselves, and near the finish
there are dresses that are a riot of
beautiful color. The plot of the
act Is but an excuse for the mem
bers Of the act to sing, dance and
in ect some good comedy into the
system. Mr.. shy's splendid voice
MARBLES some new ditties, and the
company IN general deserves a lit
tile niche in the hall Of fame.
Among the other acts are La Cerro,
u comedian who juggles, rides and
unrides a bicycle, does some aero
baltic falls that are too numerous
to mention, and as a trick cyclist
and q laugh producer he reigns su-
preme. Eddie Dwyer and Olive
have q comedy act that bubbles
with amusement. He gets a lot of
solid laughs by HIS methods and
more by his material. A dog they
use reminds one of cross between
"a rubbish heap roustabout and
shuffling bloodhound. Miss Olive
Is a splendid foil for her partner;
Is very pleasing to the eye and dis
plays some tasty gowns. Music Is
music, sometimes, but the music
produced by Diamond and D'Amico
Is music all the time. They play
the harp and the piano accordion;
Mr. Diamond does dance while
playing the harp, and for two IN
struments before unused on the
stage together they prove what val
liable instruments they are for en-
PERTAINING an audience that is crit
ical. but kind, when some one de-
llvers the goods, and they certain
y did that. Miss Margie Carson is
a young girl with whom nature has
been most generous in giving out
looks, and her sweet voice and
lovely disposition earned her re-
wards from the patrons. She sang,
and then sang some more, looked
the audience in the eye, and seemed
to say, q will do all can for you,
and they in return wanted more
than her generous nature could
furnish. The show was well play
ed by the theatre six-piece or ches-
ira, and the Stingaree two-reeler
and the keystone comedy put pep
where It belonged.

MAN INVENTS
AUTO HEADLIGHT
Company to Be Formed to
Manufacture the New
Invention

G.. 0. Blake, u carpenter living off
Portland street, after working over
two years on an invention of an auto
mobile headlight which always lights
the path of the wheel, has got his in
vention patented and is now making
plans to manufacture the article. Mr..
Blake has had the invention on his
Ford car this summer and it has at
tracted much attention. Prominent
automobile men have become much
interested in the invention and it may
not be long before every automobile
built will be equipped with this invcn-
ton.
MI. Blake was recently in Worces-
ter, visiting his brother, James c..
Blake, The citys street commissioner,
and while there gave demonstration
of the invention. The following ac-
count from the Worcester Gazette
will give an idea of the new invcn-
ton:
The invention is attached to the
steering wheel Of the car with Il shaft
which runs to a point under center of
the front of the car where it is at
tachcd to an arm running to the base
of each light. The lights are not
only bolted secured to their places
on each side of the car, but are tied
together with a steel rod which eX-
tends across the front OF the radiator.
Each light is set in u socket which is
fitted with ball bearings and it makes
no difference in which direction the
steering wheel is turned the lights
are bound to turn in the same direc
ton.
The ball bearing socket in which
each light is set is fitted with an adj
Unstable nut and in case there is any
loosening they can be easily tighten
ed.
The vibration which might result
from the connections from the steer
ing wheel is eliminated by the tic rod
across the front of the car,
The bearings are packed in solu-
ton in u connection which is dust
proof.
Mr.. Blake plans to make these
headlights in three sizes-Ford Spec
ial No /, another for such cars rs
the Bucks, and the third for larger
cars like the Packard.
