The Great Richards, In bis female lm- HtiooaUeu. waa well liked. He makes four changes and dances nicely. The Rials are covered under New Acta In '"Al'neidB and Jack Lewla, In their laugh- able skit, made good. Their entrance la made In a dilapidated hansom, cab, one as driver and the other as passenger. Their comedy talk was well put over and was ap- oreclated. For a close they used a song stout "Sea Shells'* and the "Sea Shore," and sot a good hand for their comedy. Clarice Vance, dressed In a handsome rown of white lace und pale green, offered inreril songs. Her closing number about a «lij young man was about tbe best of her tiidget. "Tbe Lifer" la covewd under new acts. Adele Ritchie, accompanied at the piano by Arthur Outtnan. put over her usual success. She dressed handsomely, making three changes, one of which waa cut rather low. She looked well, was In good voice, and waa liked by the audience. The "La, La, La" song made a big lilt with several young boys In a box, and they in turn handed the house a laugh. Tbe hit of the act was "Mv Dixie Base." In this Miss Ritchie was joined by a young woman In- the stage box, who Is the possessor of an exceptionally good voice. The chorus of the song was repeated many times, and was very pleasant to hear. Ashley and Lee, in "A Smash-Up In China- town," put over some fairly funny talk, and then offered the musical part of their act, which went well. The straight sang several of the popular airs, and then tbe Jew co- median offers parodies on them, which In several Instances were very good. Louis A. Simon and Kathryn (Merman, In the clever one act musical comedy, "A Per- sian Garden," duplicated their success at the Colonial several weeks ago. This Is one of the best acts in vaudeville. Besides being coos! prettily staged, It 1b well acted. Miss Osterman has shortened her part somewhat tut both she and Mr. Simon, as the valet, and alio the goat, made personal hits. The music Is very tuneful, and was well taken care of by Helen May and Lyndon Law. "My Little Persian Rose' Is hound to be popular. The Victoria Four are covered In New Acts In this issue. Lydla and Albino closed the performance. Thejr surely should have had a better pe- tition. Albino Is a tall, well formed, man, and Lydla Is a pretty, well formed yonng toman who appears In white tights. Their head and hand balancing feats are very well done. For the close of their act they use a large horseshoe brilliantly lighted, with a horizontal bar placed across the two, points. This Is held by the man, while the woman performs some startling stunts, the last one lelng a giant swing many times In rapid succession, which Is a great feat. Tremont (F.

Williams, mgr.)— Another week nearer the close of the present £!£&aSS5 k^?. 4 * 2 ust th9 Mmo splendidly entertaining bills offered by the management, and correspondingly the same capacity audi- ences present to enjoy them. There Is a sav- ing In theatrical circles that when Manager Williams succeeds in establishing a regular e««»»eJe at any one of his nine theatres he never loses It, and In his years of manage- ment baa never.scored a single failure. This Is, Indeed, an enviable record. Every scat held an occupant at the matt- f ee ^,° 4 ? naa,r j A JP r " h SB I »er* promis- ing bill of vaudeville features listed to amuse the big audience. Headline honors were ac- corded to R. A. Roberts, the celebrated Eng- lish protean star, who began a tour of this circuit on this date, Mr. Roberta had se- lected for his American re-appearance his elaborate production of "Dick Turpln," with himself aa the genial highwayman who, ac- cording to old English literature, waa the most "gentlemanly robber" that ever existed. As Mr. Roberts had scored an unqualified success upon the same stage during his visit here a few seasons ago In this character, It Is only necessary to state here that he gave to each of thc characters the same life and dash as before, while entering into the true spirit of Its story. It was also staged with the usual care. The first presentation here of Joseph Hart's newest stage production occurred Monday, 1, and Is entitled "An Opening Night." It la founded upon Incidents In real life, a large company is required In Its presentation, and Is replete with novelties and surprises. (See New Acts columns In this Issue.) Blossom Seclcy gave her repertoire of song numbers, and put them over In her own Jolly way that pleased the big audience Immensely. Personality Is quite an Important asset in Miss Seeley's act, and she Is always costumed in excellent taste, but she Is there with the sluglng voice us well, and her number got by nicely. She gave four songs, but her clos- ing number was the favorite "xodolo." which song she has almost made her very own. w. C. Fields, in an act which abounds In originality, was one of the brightest features of the excellent bill. His program billing, "The Juggling Comedian," fits the talented performer like the proverbial glove, and laughter reigned during his entire act Some of his old, and many of his tricks that were new to tbe Monday audience, made his act one solid hit. Macart and Bradford, In their merry skit, "A Legitimate Hold-Dp," were prominent as laugh producers in their own happy way. The visits of tbla entertaining couple at the Colonial are looked forward to by the patrons with much pleasure, and they never fall to make good In their bright little skit. The Old Soldier Fiddlers, four veterans of the Civil War, aroused to great enthusiasm an audience composed almost entirely of young people. Klein Bros, and Sybil Brennan put over their musical and dancing number in their usual classy style. The quiet methods of the Klein Bros. In putting over the dialogue patter, Is a surefire hit with their audiences. Tbe lovers of the canine species ot dimin- utive dogdom were delighted with the cute performances of Karl Emmy's pets. What these admirably trained little fellows lack In slie they more than make up In the quality of Intelligence displayed In their routine of stage work. The ehowy paraphernalia used In the act continues to be a feature ot no small Importance, and Mr. Karl himself Is an accomplished showman. s Lnen'i Delancy Street (Wm. Kehoe, mgr.)—Thursday evening, March 28, marked the opening of another of Marcus Loew's powerful string of vaudeville theatres, and everything was run off smoothly, under the watchful eye of Marcus himself. This beau- tiful show house, situated at Delancy and Suffolk streets, was Just packed to the doors on the above evening, the sale of tickets being cut off soon after 8 o'clock. The first act to appear was the Three Gerts, a hand to hand balancing act of rare ability. Their work is clean cut, and they crashed into Immediate favor with the big audience. Watkins and Williams followed them on the bill, and their singing of "Mississippi Moon" and "Llndy Lou" proved they were favorites. They "slipped off" much good talk, danced gracefully, and with three tasty changes of costume, were a treat all through. The Bramlnaa, In a comedy musical offer- ing, earned a warm spot among the bunch m „ r < with their many selections on as many in- o^ struments. De Lisle and Vernon, those amusing and talented girlies, kept things well warmed up to the occasion with 'Italian Serenade," "Pucker Dp Your Lips, Miss Llndy," and closing with "College Rag." They make up- propriate changes and delight everybody. "The Two Men," Roland West's political sketch, was chuck full of comedy and other good material, and proved a distinct feature of the bill, capably acted. Then came Lillian Shaw, by request, and she sure was greeted heartily. It was "under cover" that Lillian appeared, and when she came across with a parody melange on "Ylddlc In the Middle," etc., "they went out of their scats." Before leaving she Joshed and joked the audience. Morris and Kramer only bad to peek out and the storm began. They stuck around awhile and treated all to some classy foot- work with the clogs, and tiiclr realistic dance accompnnylng "Chicken Rag" was a real scream. These boys can certainly shake their feet, and they had a hard time getting away. Roland Carter and company came next; the prison scene, convict make-up, and with about twenty minutes of fine singing and much god comedy, "romped" off to loud ap- plause. Sansone and Dellla closed thc bill, and their many clever feats of strength and Jug- gling kept the house perfectly astounde.l. The old "pepper" still lingers in the act and is evident nil through. . The latest motion picture reels were run in between every other act, and thc "Good- Night" flashed about 11.05 p. m. The bill announced to appear for week of April 1 Includes: Charles Wlldlsh and com- Sany, Anderson and Oolnes, the Juggling ohnsons, Henry Lewis.

An Ulustrated song, "If Brery Star Waa a Little Pickaninny and There Was. a Uttt* Chicken In tho Moon," sung by a man whose voice was good, yet not very strong, went well. . Annie Lehr, In a atndy fan song, was very pleasing. She displayed many beautiful cos- tumes. Her share of aoplaus* wax long. The Cowboy Minstrels, four men, carry- ing their own scenery, and In cowboy cos- tume, with a scene of ramp life on a ranch, have an exceUent act. They an all good singers, singly or together, and their selec- tions ran from grand opera to "Steamboat BUI." They were easily • "scream." "Swat MUllgan," a bresay baseball sketch, went well. , Weston and Lynch, presenting "Tho ITttnt- Ing Girl," a playlet, received applause. Blllle McDermott, a tramp comedian, titled "The Only Survivor ot Corey's Army," was very good. Closing tbe bill was one of the neatest and cleverest Juggling acts seen In these Sarts for a long time.
