Victoria Theatre (Oscar Hainmcrstcln, manageri.—The excellent bill for (Ills week, coupled wiih ihe delightful weather of Mon- day, May "_, served to bring out the full Monday patronage, and standing room was at a premium.

He played Shylock In German, nnd his i ompiin v spok'. Kogllsh. Mr. Adler s Impersonation of the Jew has won general praise from New York critics, and comment on it la unnecessary now: Sulllce to any that It thoroughly Interested the nudlenec. nnd won heartily expressed plaudits. Alberta (iiillatln placed l'ortid with excellent effect, mid Hurry Huberts made a fervid and most praiseworthy Hrallnno. Others In the support were: Oscar Hrtggs, as Bassanlo: Edmund 1). Lyons, as the Duke of Venice, and lirace Ar- lington, as Nerlam. W. II. Murphy. Ilianche Nichols and company ployed "From /azn to Uncle Tom" to the accompaniment of great li'bghter. winning a success, as tbey.always do. with the act. Mary Nbrmnn, in her new act, "Musks nud Paces, did very commendable work, liulshlng with n neatly rendered bit of emotional acting. The Globe'of Death, which innde nulte an Impression at its re- cent introduction nt another city house, wus again Hie object of much comment. The clrcllbg of a transparent globe by a motor 'cycle constitutes a novel and thrilling offer- ing. KoHv and Vlolette, singing duo, made a decided success, and the popular comedians, Dan Qulnlaii and Mack Keller, offered an net styled "Jest Fun" that is full of bright points, nil of which were cleverly driven home.
