UiMMH&STIlN'S. MONDAY AjTBBNOON, FBB. 19. There are meny good acta In vaudeville, but none can surpass '"She Producer," Ned Uajburn's newest offering;, as Ken Monday afternoon. „. ._. .. The opening: scene shows the office of a booking agent the morning; after a new pro- duction. Cailers by the score come to see lie "chief" (Ned Wayburn). The "chief finally arrives, and poshing; his war Into his private office, calls for "His Cabinet," the scrub lady, the carriage man, and the stage door tender. From them be gets their Idea of bla new play. After hearing; them he sees the leading lady, the house manager, the author, the composer, and the costume designer, handing each a lemon. The first scene closes with an excellent fire scene at Die Hotel Albany, which Mr. Wayburn claims is the first fire for a week. The second scene is the stage door of the theatre Just previous to the second perform- ance. The best part of this Is the calling down given by Wayburn to an angel, who la trying to meet one of the girla. The third scene pictures the stage of a theatre, a real rehearsal and performance. This was worked out with great naturalness. The members of the cast supporting Mr. Wayburn were all good, but probably next to the "chief," the honors belong to Zeke Colvan, who, as ''Careless Charlie," a hnman being, created many laughs with his Impossible acting. The farce ran for over an hour, without a slow minute, and when the curtain Anally fell, there was ten minutes of riotous ap- plause before the next act could go on. The cast In full Is as follows : The Producer Ned Wayburn His Secretary Mazona Bradcome Ills Office and CallJtoy, Master Arthur Harris His Chauffeur Charles Key The Assistant Stage Manager Lew Flnlty The Stage Door-Tender James J.

ICeith'b Haxlxu Opehjl House, Fib. 17. , "The Great White Way." written by Aaron Ross, and presented by the Harlem Opera House Stock Co., Is a sketch that pos- sesses no real merit. The story In no way connects Itself with the title, and the plot is very weak. The comedy lines arc few and tar between, and aa an offering with a title f.uch aa "The Great White Way," one would eipect something that would point directly to the big bright lights, not a story of aubur- »nn life. No intelligent person wonld Imagine «u opera singer of worth allowing a homely looking farmer to make desperate love to her for a paltry $1,500. This sketch la too far retched, and needs a thorough overhaul- Sg to be worthy of serious attention. Miss Thatcher, Miss Alnalee and Mr. Majeronl Played their respective roles In a manner that pleased. a Belleelalre and Hermann. Fifth Avb.ncb, Feb. 10. Belleelalre and Hermann, billed aa the mod- ern Hercules, are two young men who are tar above the average strong men. Agility * n<, _£«atnesa. combined with extraordinary strength, go to make up a unique novelty In S^JS? of ! • t *»nr act Many feats of strength are displayed by the young men, and their wonderful exhibition of hand to hand balancing Is a feature. ■ s Frldhin's Doyarrru Uvulnn Tronpe of Slaarera aad.

They "Pen on full stage, singing a Russian song, after which several of the tronpe offer dan- cing specialties. Their work Is good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Twelve mln- Donglas Fairbanks and Company, la "A Besralar Boalnesa Man." Fifth Avenue, Feb. 10. 'Douglas Fairbanks and company presented an amusing one act absurdity, entitled "A Regular Business Man," by John Stokes, and without a doubt this 1b one of the best tilings ever done by Mr. Fairbanks. The scene shows the office of Robt. Horn- blower, a young lawyer, who has never earned a dollar In his chosen profession, but who Is very much In love with a Beatrice Wise, bis stenographer and fiancee. Miss Wise threatens to leave Mr. Homblower, but he la given an hour to make a bualnesa man of himself. So he Bets about calling up prospective clients on the phone. In the mean time bis uncle calls him up, and tells him that if he will put up $1,000 he can make $60,000 for bun, but he must get the money up before noon the same day. Lawyer Hornblower tells his fiancee that he loat his last one hundred dollars along with his wal- let the night before, and has only $3.85 to his name. In the mean time a Mr. Rockmaa calls on blm and tells him he will give him $000 If he will buy a lease on some property held by a Mrs. Sweet Rockmsn leaves the office, and an old lady enters to see Mr. Hornblower and return the $100 which her son had found. Mr. Rockman returns, and a funny situation occurs when the lady proves to be the party Mr. Rockman wants to buy the lease from. The old lady appoints Mr. Hornblower her lawyer, who demands $0,000 for his client's lease, taking $1,000 commission for hi* end. The financier claims the lawyer the best ever. The old lady goes away with her $8,000, and all ends well. Lawyer Horn- blower is a regular business man. Douglas Fairbanks gave an excellent per- formance of Hornblower, and fully merited the approval accorded him. Jean Murdoek. as his flanc.ee, gave a very clever portrayaL Mia* Hanchett was very good In the part of the old lady. Elmer Booth, as the financier, looked and played the part to perfection. This Is one of the most enjoyable and laugh- able sketches In vaudeville. FOR THE Robert Bdeson and Compaay. Colonial, Matinkk, Feb. 8. Robert Edeson made his first plunge into vaudeville this week at this house with a con- densed version of the second act of "Strong- heart " Handicapped by a bad cold, and with many of bis supporting company In the same pre- dicament. Mr. Edeson gave a fairly credit- able performance, although his acting was not quite up to his standard. The act on the whole la not up to vaudeville's standard, and the popularity of the star alone man- aged to pull it through. It lacks the punch. A short synopsis of the entire story In the program would also help in getting the drift, for aa It now stands one Is left in the dark through the entire act. The time was fifteen minutes, on a full stage, showing the train- ing quarter* of a football team, The cast: Strongheart the Sioux Indian. .Robert Edeson Frank Fronde Brandon Dick John Macfarlaae Thome S.

Hammebstein'b, Matinks, Feb. 18. Probably the best posing act, for the novel way In which it Is presented, made Its first appearance at this house tbis week. It I* called "My Lady's Fans," and is billed as "Dans Le« Tableaux Vivants," or With the Living Pictures. . The curtain rose on another curtain or heavy lace, and tbla In turn rose and dis- closed a large fan, which opened and closed for each pose. Special scenery Is used for every pose, some being only of famous paint- ings, others, Bcenes from life, and still others with living models.

Thomas A. Wise made his daah Into vaude- ville In a new one act playlet, entitled "The Chip of the Old Block/' and from the rise to the drop of ths curtain the audience was kept in good humor throughout with tbe many funny situations" and comedy Use*. The scene takes place In the lounging room of the Actors' Fund Home on Staten Island. Thomas Burridge, an old, retired actor, who has played comedy roles and gained a repu- tation before retiring, bat whose sole ambi- tion was to be a leading; dramatic actor, re- ceives a telegram from bis son, whom be had not seen since childhood, but who Is now a leading actor with a repertoire company, telling him be Is to pay the father a visit at the home. Tbe father awaits tbe arrival of his son, telling his fellow actor friend* that his bod. is a leading dramatic performer. Tbe ■on arrlvea, a big, fat, Jolly looking fellow, dressed like a circus sport The father can hardly believe that the tat boy Is his son. The boy explains that he Is leading comedian, not leading dramatic man, with the troupe, and the father Is nearly heartbroken. The son describes part* that he has played with the show, with much success, and also tells of the plot of a new play In which he Is to star. As a finale the son tell* his father that he is married and has a son fourteen months old. The father fondles the picture, with the hope that the family will have at least one dramatic star to save the name of tho Burridge family. Thomas A. Wise, as Thomas Burridge, the old actor, gave a remarkably natural por- trayal of the character, and waa compelled to respond to many curtain calls. 'VV, II. St. James, carrying about as much avoirdupois as Mr. Wlae, kept the audience lu apasms of laughter wltb hi* comedy ex- planation of the new show, and was a decided hit. John Marble, aa Clayton Jones, was ap- plauded for the fine reading of bis Hues. Chas. N. Greene and Chas. E. Johnson were very good in minor roles. Tbe act I* laugh- able, T* admirably played, aad worth going a long way to see. I Flynn, Cralsr and Haywood. HABUBK Opera House, Matinee, Feb. 14. Two very pretty girls and a good looking young man, who bill themselves a* Flynn, Craig and Hay wood, presented a bare stage act entitled "How Props Butted In," here the first half of last week. A slater act come* to try-out and, of course, meet a fresh property man. The glrto quarrel and decide to split the act "Props" offers his service* to one, who goes to *ee the bouse manager about It Meanwhile the other return*, and "Props" again offers hi* services, which are accepted. The former comes back, and both girls quarrel until "Props" suggests they make op and he will Join both. During the action of the skit, spedaltteB were Introduced by Miss Craig, who looked like a "dream" In a beautiful pink gown, and sang "Ob, Mr. Dream Man/' and gave a fraceful exhibition of fancy dancing. Mr. lynn gave "We All Fall," which he nut over In good style, snd then gave some fine eccentric soft shoe dancing. All in the sketch work hard, and their efforts were well appreciated, but the act would make a bigger hit If a few lively song* were put lu In place of those now used, which, though good, tend to slow np the action. ... The act, on the whole, is one of the best of It* kind, and should have no trouble In holding their own on any bill, as the comedy is original, and the singing aud dancing very good. The time waa eighteen minutes, on a full stage. i * Conntea* Leoatlne. HiMUXBSTEIN'S, MATINEE, FEB. 13. Billed as a singing comedienne this young woman doe* not live up to her billing, as she Is In no way whatsoever a singing come- dienne, bnt more of a ballad singer. Probably of foreign birth this young lady has a great deal to learn of tbe customs of the vaudeville stage here. Her manner of dress is far below the standard, for no sing- ing comedienne would come out In a direc- tor™ gown with willowy plumes in her hair. tier voice Is fair, and she uses ballads which are good. Her best song was "Honey Moon Love," which brought her a fair amount of applause, Tbe act is good for the small time, but will require a good dcsl of changing be- fore it will pass on the big circuit ■ ■ Kills' Hawallaas. Uammebstein's, Matinee, Feb. 18. Snowing a beautiful tropical scene, six Hawaiian boy* made their first appearances at tbis house last week, with an instru- mental, singing aud dancing act. Closing the show and following a "clean up" musical act these boys did exceedingly well considering their position on tbe MIL With a lute, viola, two guitars, a piccolo and a violin, these boys gave music of an excel- lent nature and pleasing qualities. The one who sings, rendered '"The Patois" In excel- lent voice, and received besrtv applause. Put In a good position on a Mil, this act can uphold its end at any time, as It to one of the beat yet seen around here, Tbe Umo was fifteen minutes, on a full stage.
