V-E-N-T-R-l-L-0 ■ M-Y-S-T-0 COURT THEATRE, BROOKLYN, 8UNDAY, OCT. 3d, MATINEE AND NIGHT. Presented by C. W. WILLIAMS. THE MAJESTIC THEATRE, AURORA, ILL. is booked through the WESTERN VAUDEVILLE MANAGERS* ASS'N, CHICAGO luis Un- it. 11" the plot, to hinge I lie i • :i i' t should go a heap better. A few scenes between Wntsoii mid Oilison are continuous laughs. William Harris has an opportunity as a "straight." and aipills himself admirublv. This part Is called "Treasure Island." and while a plot probably once existed, in lis present state a plot would be a burden, lor it Is nothing but a succession of uuod legitimate and original laughs, mainly sup plied by Watson. The "Consideration line, which should never have gone past the opening of the tirst part, where It is offered In a mild form, Is ei.ntlnueil here to no advantage whatsoever. Throughout the show the numbers are well staged ami do not show any evidence <>f "horse-play" on the part of the comedians to bolster them up, so prevalent in burlesque Near the llnish, "The I »a nee of the Absinthe Fiend" Is offered where one <>f the company not programed attempted to exhibit her knowledge of the "wiggling art." Sad to say, she Is limited to u few shurp angles instead of graceful curves. The bit did not last long enough to do any damage and the cur- tain came down on a well pleased audience. O'CONNOR. KI'SON'S (Sid J. Ruson. mgr.i —"The Olbson Olrls hi Hurlesque" is a show which will plense any audience and with half a dozen laughs it would l>e a hit. Ab It now stands there are girls a plenty, costumes unusually nice and voices which make It compare In these three respects with "The Majesties" of last season. The skit Is written along melodramatic lines and the comedy Is impossible. George Leonard leading role but makes a "bit" out of does a comedy old man, necessary to and that la all. The comedy was meant on things bordering on the suggestive but It does not even strike home along these lines. Several times the comedians hover near ob- taining a laugh. They always stop before it arrives. Though a big company with many things in Its favor but there la nothing for one theater- goer to speak of in advising another to see the performance. A dance which limy work into something. It Is styled "The Dance of Death." Florence Mills and Joseph Hollenbow are the dancers. The Idea Is to have n tiger jump from Its cage and kill the man for a finish. Early In the week the tiger's claws bad not arrived so this part of the dance was omitted. It was In- teresting up to a rertaln point but like the comedy failed at the climax. John E. Hurke Is second comedian, but ]>ovldcs little amusement. John N. 1Io11cii1k>w does a "Vampire" badly. Jimmle I.ane la the best of the men. James F. Fox as a "witch" Is badly east. May Hurke as "Frenchee" looks nice mid Is well liked. Miss Mills has a melodramatic lending woman role and does well. Louise Palmer only leads one numt>er but contributes as much to the show ns any of the other females. A chorus nuiuN'r "Meet Me in Daisy Time" Is one of the best things In the allow. Tlllle Ellison, liottle Jennings. Hilda Hacb. Mabel Frances, Margaret Harding. Margie Franks and Nadlne Stevenson do this number. It Is programed as "George I/coiiard and chorus." It should be transposed. Everything possible Is provided in this show to make it good excepting principals or possibly opportunities for them. E. E. M. CRITERION (Abe Jacobs, nigr.: agent. \V. V.
