Ths usual big Monday audiences occup ed Mitchell Lewis every available space of the commodious the- Charles Galiiher atre March 18, when the following excellent bill for the week was placed on view. The youngest snd the very latest addition to vaudeville from the dramatic stage Is Florence Nash, who, supported admirably by Joseph Jefferson Jr. and Mlnette Barrett, la a delicious satire of the suffragette subject entitled "In 189B." la upholding the dignified in big time houses. In the talking piece, "life's a Gamble." he gained applause, and it was repeated when be sane "I With 1 Had My Old Girl Back Again." Next came two very pretty girls, who seem, right now, to be chockful of n boF lllng over with _ uiscblef and enthusiasm, and their funny Chick Ho charming personality makes a strong and fa- vorable Impression on the audience from the start De Lisle and Vernon, the score board reads. They are good singers, and the pretty changes they make makes every number look ■o different. Part of the songs used are "Packet Up Tour Lips," "Italian Serenade," sung singly by the one whom we are In- formed la the Vernon part. Sbe went great with the home.

If ever, been surpassed In a popular priced house, and good business ruled. Burrow and Nllo, two well built young men, appeared In the ntoal routine of strength feats. Their best stunt hat to do with tbe larger of the two holding his part- aer for several seconds straight out from hit body. Coffman and Carroll, a man and a woman, offered a variety of singing, dancing and comedy talk. In which they were amusing. Dorothy Russell and company are written up under New Acta In this Issue. Charles Ktane and wmpiray appeaerd In a nlenslnr little playlet. The scene shows a log cabin In the West, which, is tbe home of a blfhwsymsn who has Just robbed a stage- coach. A severe storm comes up, and the stage, having lost the road, happens on the bandit's retreat. The sheriff of tbe county and sn attractive young woman enter the cabin, and during their talk fall In love with each other. The hlgawnyman la discovered by the sheriff, and the fight which takes place Is excellently acted. The bad man is beaten, tod tbe discovery is made that he Is the young woman's brother, and previously had killed the sheriffs brother. Because of his love for the girl the sheriff lets tbe bandit go on his promise to reform. II It a good sketch, and with tbe exception of the sheriff being a little too artificial nt the beginning, was well played. Viols Duval offered three songs, with change of costume for each. She dresses extremely well, and makes a nice stage appearance, but ii not a Melba. Gardner and Vincent are written up under New Acts, In this Issue. Charles and Ada Latham have an amusing sketch, in which a middle-aged- man, looking for a maid, hires bis own daughter, Whom be "The Fortune Banter," a clever sketch, by two men and a woman, went good. Four curtain calls at the finish. Next were the Three Musketeers, singing and talking comedians, displaying plenty of comedy and good singing; some harmony, too. They go good. Closing the Dill was Schepp'a Circus, billed as the most pleasing animal act In vaude- ville. It deserves good comment for It It an animal act in reality. A lot of dogs and monkeys, and at least four horses, and at much quality at quantity. Among the motion plctnres were: "The ' 'i.

Ed. M. Favor, Bdlth Sinclair and company bad their sketch, wherein the Irish laborer falls heir to a fortune and equips'his wife and himself In great style. Mr. Favor sing "Mooney," In bis powerful voice. Fennell and Tyson, at the dancing team, again made a hit. especially the young lady ta a boy, Joe Flynn unreeled bla line of patter and parodies with bis usual success. Walter Rossmore and company had a sketch, wherein a jealous husband It takon to task by a burglar who enters his bouse during his absence. The wife coaxes the burglar to drink and play cards.

Ethel Hamilton This latest comic opera by the Whitney Opera Co., Including Fritz Stiumtela, recently of the Royal Opera Co., In Berlin, Germany, was witnessed by an audience that filled this house to the doors, and on tbe opening night was most liberal In applause. The book Is weak, but the score is pleas- ing. The murtc, which will most likely be played by many orchestras In New York, It as good aa any that has been beard here lu some time.

She has been captured by bandits, escaped, and Is rescued by Trenck. Trenck makes love to the Coun- tess, during the course of which each recalls a prophesy of which this Strange meeting socms to bo tbo culmination. Trench's im- petuosity, however, frightens her, and sbe makes her escape before Trenck has been able to establish her Identity. The Countess Is on her way to court to antwer tho com- mand of the Empress tbat she marry tho French ambassador for reasons of State. Tbo Countess is rebellious over the decree of the Km press tbat she marry the aged ambassa- dor, and she sends a letter to Trenck, which Is intercepted by her aunt Trenck arrives at court in answer to the demand of tbe Empress tbat be choose a wife, A lottery has been planned, and Trenck, whose lovo for Lydia has never wavered, and who up to EtheVbu'fre Houston position of hcsdflnlng this *««'■.P?"™* Jcanette Hqrton As Jean, «?™i«k w 2?»v„ M i::, ft ?".
