Einmett Corrlgsn and his company gave a now comedy. In one act, entitled "IBs Wife's PIctnre,"by Oliver White, at the 125th Street Theatre, last week, and unfolded n story that was far-fotched nnd lacked the Interest necessary for a sketch of thin kind. Tbe plot Is not a plausible one, and in Its treatment there Is too much talk and very little action. Illchnrd Randall Is a bachelor, who lores Mrs. Monopol, once a foottlght favorite. lie tins her picture on tils mantel, and Mr. Mono- pol soiids a detective to get tho photo. Brooks, the detective enters Randall's employ, nod, while trying to secure the picture. Airs. Mono- pol enters the uparlment. Hhe Is followed shortly after by her husband, nnd Brooks, who liaB transferred his sympathies to Ran- dal) and Mrs. Monopol, secretes the wife In whnt ho tblnks Is a room. Monopol raises a scene, nnd, finding u door locked, tblnks tbat he will prevail uimii Itrndnll to give up his rooms for the night, mil while Randall Is absent ho (Monopol) will Investigate. Ran- dall, much to Monopol's surprise, agrees to give hhn the rooms, but as he leaves he In- Joruis Monopol that tbo locked door leads out lulo n private hallway, which communicates with the olevatur of the apartment. The cur- tain then, falls as Monopol, bealen, sinks Into a chair. Mr. Corrlgan does wonders with the poorly drawn character of Randall, nnd by the force of his personality, und not by tho lines, got some laughs. Gen. ('. RubliHoit. MursbnH l'arnum nnd Augusta True gave him as good aid as their respective roles would permit. Tim sketch runs about twenty minutes, on the full stage. ««*■ Charlea Huron anil Company. It must tax (be Ingenuity of a trainer to Hie utmost when he comes to selecting some new Ideas for an animal act, because the aim Is always to get away from tbe beaten path, and the lieaten path for animal acts :s a wide nnd well traveled one. Charles Baron, however, has got a new Idea, and his "Bur- Ictiquc Menagerie," shown at the New York last week, made tbe audience "take notice" with a vengeance. The dogH In this act are dressed up like lions and tigers, two Great Danes looking enough like hlg-mancd lions, with their well- fitting headpieces, to ho the real article. They are put through their paces In a cage made of rubber "burs." and then a dachshund, flxed up to resomblo a crocodile, comes out or) a tight rone. Baron's cats, however, seemed to steal the big thunder of the net, and their tricks were all good ones. Four of them race up ropes la baskets suspended many feet above, the stage, and their trainer conducted the affilr like a horse race. The act was voted a win- ner, und a big one at that." It ran for eleven minutes, on the full static. ■ ■*>«♦ Dradlee Martin and Company. The farcical situations In Bradlee Mar- tin's sketch, "Jessie, Jack nnd Jerry." seemed to nppcnl Just In the right way to the audience at the Ooc I land red nnd Twenty- ilrih Street. Theatre last week, and tbe re- sult was ii laughing success for the players. Tho skit Is down on the programme as a comedy, but It Is crowded with absurdly farcical situation!:, and as H Is well played, "le fun gets to tbe audience unerringly. Jeremiah Thurston is anxious that his Hon, Jack, shall marry Jessie Martin, and Jessie Is enually anxious lo marry Jack, but the- stumbling block Is Jack, Who Isn't In the game. Jessie, however, finally lands Jack by pretending to fall In love with his dad. llradlce Marlln nrtcd with sincerity and seriousness enough to get tho burlesque of tno thing, and the aid given him by John Bowers und Jessie Courtney was gilt edged. The net runs almost twenty minutes, on the full stage. <»» Dantlstc and Pranconl. Two novelty equilibrists, -Baptlste aud Fniuenn!. who are thoroughly entitled to (be nso of tho word "novelty" In their billing. appeared nt the New York last week, Intro- ducing; fonts of head balancing that arc cal- culated to make even the New York vaude- ville-goer stari'. They opened the act with some leans to tho bend and shoulders that won applause. nnd tlieu one of Ihetu descended a set of Htc-ps while balanced on his head, making the entire distance from top to bottom steps without once using any Bupport from his liunds. This feat Is nut now here, bat It la none the less a clever ono on that account. Some of the other feats were novel, how- ever, and the team mudc a lilt. The act runs about seven minutes, In two, 410 ■■■ ■ Tbo O'Neill Trio. Three youths, composing the O'Neill Trio, who sing, dance and use the tumboortne and hones, wore at Pastor's last week, and the net seemed to strike the fancy of the audi- ence. Their voices are not well trained, but their singing last week -was applauded, and the dancing Introduced was excellent. The young men nro neat dressei-r. and have a good stage presence. The tambourine ac- companiment given by one of them to tho piano nnd bono playing of the others was an effect Iro bit of work, and tho audience was not slow lu rewarding It. The act runs about fourteen minutes, OU the full stage. • «■ > A. II. C. D. Girls. A singing and dancing act, called the A. B, C. D. Girls, with four neatly costumed young womeu, wus presented ut tbe Twenty- third si reel Theatre last week, and was quite well liked, In (lie tlrst part of tho act three of the girls upjieui' gowned alike, and the fourth Is m bloomers. Their voices are hv no means musical, nor do they blend well. The success of tho specialty rests upon tho dancing, which Is good. The black und gold costumes that nro worn at the finish aro very pretty, and the girls leave the stage after winning applause far their dancing steps. The act runs thirteen minutes In one. Mile. Irma Lorraine. "Btudlo* of Art from tbe Leading Salons of Europe," Is what Mile. Irma Lorraine calls her offering, which she presented at Keith & Proctor's lofty-eighth Street last week. The poses are all shown In bronze paint, and the greater number of them are given In the nude. .The selection of studies Is very good, and only a few of them have previously been shown here. For the poses Mile. Lorraine maintains such perfect control of all her muscles that the figures look like real bronze, and It Is only when she bows ber head In acknowledgment of the applause accorded the Statue of Liberty study that the audi- ence Is given visual proof that It Is a flesh nnd blood subject who Is doing the posing. "Time" Is one of the best of her reper- tory, although nil are excellent, and the audi- ence gave Mile. Lorraine sumclent. applause to show that her posing nnd her taste In selecting the subjects were high class. "Ma- ?eppa," while a good picture In so for as Mnzeppa was concerned, wns a nightmare when the horse was considered A new horse should be secured. A partial list of the studies follow: "Salambo," "Litera- ture," "Truth," "Bacchants." "Awakening of Galatea." "Farmer Maid," "Venus, "Statue of Liberty." "Psyche of the Bath," "Time," "Maxepna." The act runs a little over ten minutes, on the full stage. »»»■■ Jim and Jenny Jee, An act that for originality and cleverness would be hard to excel, was shown In the wire specialty of Jim and Jenny Jee, at tbo Union Square, lust week. Jim Jee performs some leaping and sumersault feats that are conspicuous for daring and finish, and the complete success that the offering made was a guarantee of its merit. The man keeps step on tbe wire to the pretty music or "The Gondolier," and ths woman then dances on the slender support to the accompaniment of the same tune. Then the man does some leaping over single chairs, and concludes that part of the offering by a sensational Jump over six chairs, landing on the slack wire and maintaining his balance. Bicycle riding up and (Iowa the wire and tricks on the wheel while It Is delicately balanced then follow, nnd the act Is ended by n whirlwind ride on a moving wire that lo drawn swiftly over pulleys, on the same principle as the treadmill. The offering is one of tbe best of Its class. It ran for about seventeen minutes, on the full stage. «»» Thonaaa Potter Daane. A varied line of entertulnment was given by Thomas Potter Dunne at Pastor's last week, nnd he did everything so well that he held the stage for a full fifteen minutes and then had dlfliculty in taking leave of tbe audience. Mr. Dunue opened his act with a song that came from "Fifty Miles from Boston, and wns given "without an attempt to imi- tate Geo. M. Cobao," as Mr. Dunne ex- plained. He then sang a yodllng song along the lines made famous by J. K. Emmett, and upon winning applause for that number he wive the well known "I'm Selfish" speech from "The MubIc Master," catching the war- field Impersonation well. Ills Imitation of Nick Long, In tbe Italian recitation concerning the little girl Roslo nnd the flowers that her father secures for her crave, was capitally done, nnd earned him marked favor. The Italian song which closed the act was also' a neat bit. Mr.' Dunne got n fine reception, and deserved It. tie does his specialty In one. 4i» •■A Morning Hehcarmil." Lee Harrison and his Broadway Girls ap- peared at the New. York last week lu a mu- sical'skit by John J. McNully, entitled "A Morning Rehearsal." which Is produced un- der the direction; of Joseph Hart. The scene Is the stage of a theatre, during a rehearsal, and Mr. Harrison, its Will DI- reetem, hears the excuses of the wcultby and haughty young ladies who have consented tu honor the chorus with their presence, and all of whom wander In late. Tula scene, with tome fanny excuses by the various girls, is the best portion of the sketch, und Is well presented by Mr. Harrison nnd the girls. Later the Clifton Comedy Four win suc- cess for their singing, and Mr. Harrison gives n few minutes talk and the "Sherlock Tloluies'- song, which served hhn in his single act. - A patriotic nnale. with tho girls gowned In the red, white and blue, Is applauded, but does uot add to tiic merit of the offering. It would he vastly to the benefit of the skit If the early scenes were elaborated and the Inter portions cut. The full stage is used, and the act runs about twenty-five minutes. ♦ »» ■ . Six Bonaaettle. Ait acrobatic act that has some very at- tractive features was tbe one shown by tho Six Bonazettls at the Victoria last week. On Friday night there were only five In the act, for some reason not announced, but those of the Bonazettls who were on deck gave a clever specialty. The three men and the woman ncted as nn- derstanders to a slight youth who did some re- markable somersaulting from shoulder to shoulder, his feats being given with ease and grace. The woman sustained tbo combined Weight of all her associates, who perched upon her bead and arms, and as boo was slight in appearance the teat wns not an easy one. The act U full of Interest, and Us con- clusion Is n strong one. It runs about eight minutes, on the full stage. «■> Lily Crowe. Highland dnnces. given In costume, were presented nt Pastor's last week, by a very lull and evidently very young performer, hilled as Lily Crowe.

"My wife had eczema on her face for five or six years. \Vc had read so much about Cuticura Remedies that we thought we would give them a trial. We did so, and it has now been about four years, and she has never had a sign of eczema since. 1 myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair and it does not fall out We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up so much quicker than any- thing else.
