Mr. Bruce red for his first production the : liable musical comedy, entitled -V Weesy. It went over with a am.

Mary Logan is putting on a solo nee in the opening chorus this week it is a revelation to the patrons of Wigwam Theatre. Mary is cer- tainly a very clever terpsichorean artist and directress of the Hone}' Girls. Clara Howard, with her Topsy number from Uncle Tom's Cabin, was a hit the finst half of the week at the Wigwam. Clara with her bare limbs, also the Honey Girls, with Topsy cos- tumes, made the large audiences sit up and take notice to this new intro- duction in musical numbers. The Quartette with the Jas. Post Co. are certainly good to look at, and listen, they all have a fine stage appear- ance, dress well, and put their vocal numbers over in a very able manner. Mabel Calvert gave a very credit- able bit, as a German girl, in Teesy Weesy. She is a nimble dancer, and a good talker. She puts life and anima- tion into the act. Dee Loretta, at the opening of the Jas. Post Co., received an ovation from the audience on her first entrance last Sunday at the Wigwam. Dee was for- merly with the Monte Carter Co. as prima donna, but what was Carter's loss was Post's gain.

Ben will be with him for two weeks more, as he plays the Oakland Orpheum for that time; then to Los Angeles for two weeks ; then he spends iiis summer vacation at Sacramento, with his relatives. Ed. Dale, the only member of the Cork lUirners' Union, received a con- tract last Tuesday night, for the Wig wam Theatre. He presented it to Dan Spellman, the house officer, who l)ronounccd it a phony. Dale knew it was amateur night, and was satisfied, as he saw the Seals shut out the Los Angeles club in the afternoon, and Ed. and Mrs. Dale went through the portal to see Al Bruce and Herb Bell comede in Teesy Weesy. Maud Allen, the dancer, opened an engagement in the Grand Opera House, Manila, March 7. FOR THE BEST SCENERY FOR VAUDEVILLE THEATRES, OPERA HOUSES, VAUD- EVILLE ACTS, ETC. The Chas. F.
