The come- dian Is vcrv young in appearance and'action, and needs biore experience in his fun-raaklug antics. '■ All thfl members of the troupe, however, nre capital gymnu^ts, and the slack wire walking is In every respect commendable.

The act ran about fourteen minutes, on the full stage. .' i'. ii ...'■ . i it'' willlnraa, Hnrrl* and Wlllluuia. Wllllnms, Harris Hud WUIIume, at. Pas- tor's last week, appeared In a.disconnected Itttjo sKefcli tailed "Hlui, Her and. I," in which ■ a-Hebrew makes love to a married vronloh, and gets-a good sample Of "roueh- liouae" treatment at the hands of the lady's better-half. :."■ One of tbe trio, ns uu Irishman, was the irntc husband, and tho .lew was. played by the other male member of tho three in ca- pable. maunv'K Tbo role 6t the wlfo was as ■well^handled ns could-lie cxpeeted under tho i.'lreutnstnnces... The sketch Is too loosely connected hnd Mr'too crudely written to pilHs miiBtiir, irnd thi! trio would do well to discard It for something that would show them to better advantage, Their Bong at tbo lliilsli, wltli palrldtlc.pictures thrown on a screen, In Illustration, won applause for them. The act ran about sixteen minutes, bn the full stage. .. ' ii e ' ' Valentine .and Ray. Valentine and Bay' opened tin; bin nt fas- tot's last wiekt tt,e n " m ^ tlie ttam a VP mr ' Ink In black face,' us u mecbenlc, and the weutap being.In neat drens. They showed lacli' of stdlfe experience and will do much butter when tliey qulckca things IB the- net. Oulckuew lu repartee Is what un offorlag of this Ulud demands, and the team would also do W.olMo leave out some of their dialogue uud shorten the uct. It ran about alsteea minutes, lu one. '. Itivcm and Rnohealer. A team of Auftrallau. vocalists. Walter HI vers and Xlna Bochester, made their ap- pearance nt Pastor's last week, In a singing sketch, and the vocal ability shown by both people In the act was far and away ahead of tliu usual run. Sir. Blvera opened the act by appearing In ". iyi»lcni Crusoe costume, and singing "My Old Duten" with socli cleverness as to Justify the belief tlist tho net would prove one of exceptional merit. This expectation proved to bo well founded, for when Miss BochMter appeared and sang her solo, the house waa loud In prated of her tine voice, and the duct ■nblch followed was delightful. The team Is (rood enough to be a worthy feature of any bill on the big circuits. Tho act ran about fdrtecu minutes, on the full stBge. » i i ii Geo. IVhttln« mid. Mclnatfc Twins. One of the genuine successes ot the One Hundred and Twonty-llfth Street .programme last week-was made by Geo. Wbrtlng.ond the Mclnottc Twins, In a slugliig act, billed ns "Artistic NonscnsH." All work straight, Mr. iVhltlug appearing In. neat brown suit and derby, and tbe girls being seen in two pretty changes of costume. The opening song, a "love" number, with plenty of' cleverly orrauged business, was un- usually well dene, the animated work of the trio landing them In the good graces ot the audience at ouee Another number equally us good us t)i«* first followed, and facorty an- I'laiu-c brought the singers on tor un encore. "Ilnrrlgim" was the coucludlng song, with Mr. \\'h!tlng slDging In good dialect and tho .alris alvlag splendid iiliT . It Is snfo to say that the song was never more cleverly given before a New York audlchii'. Twenty-four minutes were consumed In one, aud Hie Bet could have run much longer, if the U-to had no desired, i i ■ a Jack Stoektnn. "The Tramp Collegian," as Jack Stockton calls himself,, told the audiences at Pastor's last week all about what a charming and homelike place a cell.at Sing Sing Is, and ho had enough good, material In his mono- logue to capture an occasional laugh, al- though the lalk needs considerable brighten- ing up In places. In make-up he Is tho tramplest bind of a son of rest, ami no Improvement in that lino Berlins to be possible, with sonio changes here and there, and a stronger finish than ne now uses. "The tramp. Collegian" should do very nicely. The net ran about twelve minutes, lu three. ' I '. a . ' The Plciittaia. An uct with an element of novelty was given by the Plcnuays us the opening number on the bill ut t he Que Hundred and Twenty- liflh Street Inst week. They are billed us "Society Dancers," but their work Is dis- tinctly acrobatic, Introducing. «otno bead-to- liend bnlunclng of reiuarkublc cleverness, the man of the team carrying the woman about the singe In this manner. Both .make a-good stage appearance, and work easily add well, - The man does some cluuelug on his bauds, with "hund-shoes" oa, mid scores n hit .with the Intl'odnctlon. The r.i;i, which mi about ten, minutes, was great- ly ilked. ■ » ■ Evelyn- Slatera. A sister team, known as tbe Evelyn Sisters, appeared at Pastor's last week. In a singing and dancing act They opened with one of the lypiedi prnlrle sougx, and showed at once that they were exceedingly light on their feet. •• After a second singing number, pleasingly rendered, tlicv got rlgbt down to the dancing, and were so light, and graceful that the audi- ence gave them tho heartiest kind ot, ap- plause. Their costumes, a pretty shade of crown, were .very becoming;, and their utugo presence was pleasing. Tllo act ran about eight minutes, In oac. ©Ml'CHICAGO LETTER.
