Conroy and Le Mafre, black face come- dians, put over some fast, comedy talk, and had the whole house with them. Lydia Barry, assisted by a piano player, made a hit.

The woman performed her work with much grace and ease, and is capable aid to her partner. They earned hearty applause.

American (Charles 8; Potsdam, mgr.)— Thursday afternoon, May 23, was Just ai Slcnsant a day as the new bill that opened ere to the usual capacity house, and the big audience "sure enuf" enjoyed every uumber on the program. Jack Acker and company. In "The New Leader," was the headllnor, and he and his assistants got as much comedy out of this •mall time "leader" act as any amount of squeezing could possibly produce. There waa do necessity of the squeezing, stuff, however, as the bouse warmed up to them and enjoyed the good work from gong to gong. Jack waa handed hearty applause when be nut away about a dollar's worth of the "suds" without a halt Zowiel Morris and Morris, those amusing bur- lesque strong men, were a small riot They •re favorites on any MIL and the smooth manner In which they pull their stuff, keeps the house In a continuous uproar. O'Donuell, Offerman and Kaufman, three real "baby bears" when it comes to easing over In proper style anything popular In the song line. Two of the boys do the big part of the singing, wbile the third ably furnishes tbe muatc on a piano. They used "I Want to Be In Dixie. ,f "Magic Rag" and "Every- body's Doing It," and had that bunch, out front "throwing their shoulders in the air." The act is full of bright stuff, and the boy* were sure winners. Frank Bae and company kept the house In excellent humor with a skit tbst dealt with wlfey slipping hubby some "truth telling fluid." Hubby comes back, and mother-in- law also gets a taste, and when they all start to slip out the truth, a merry muddle is the result They were well liked. William P. Burt snd company, including Mr. Burt, a woman and a small girl, had nj trouble winning a place oa the bill with their little Western sketch which wss pleas- ingly presented. Tbe child la a clever little performer, and held her own In making the act go nicely. Johnny Dove, who announced he wasn't impersonating Harry Lander in his "Hoot Mon" act, scored well enough to draw an extra encore. Johnny worked smoothly, and .his dancing was a pleasing feature of tbe act. Tbe Two Vlsoccbl Brothers rendered a few selections on accordions, but the whistling of the younger brother was whit carried the act through to a good finish.

Williams, mgr.)— With only three weeks remaining of tbe pres- ent season here, interest Is added to the fact that tbe passing of the season also signal- izes the passing of the beautiful theatre from the management of Percy G. Williams to that of b. F. Keith. The return engagement of Irene Franklin, who heads the bill here week of May 27, is peculiarly appropriate at thla time, for It wrs at this theatre that Miss Franklin flrsr gained the distinction of headlining the bill of an Important local house. She received the usual welcome accorded her here as she appealed for her flrst song number In tho character of a chorus girl with, of cours?, the accomplished Burt Green aa her accom- panist at the piano, The title of the song was "She's a Friend of Mine." and like ill the songs used by Miss Franklin, waa written by Mr. Green. She gave several of her old but always popular songs, and treated the audience to two of her new ones, vis: "I've Got to Go to the Circus WIta Pa" and "When tbe Wind." There was also a cordial welcome await- ing Joseph Howard, the popular song writer, actor and vocalist, who, accompanied by his talented partner, Mabel McCane. were one of the strong features of an excellent bill. Their songs, written by Mr. Howard, were never rendered to a more appreciative audience, and they closed with the usual "request" songs, which brought them back for several bows. La Titcomb was again a beautiful picture, seated upon her superb horse, and as the cur- tain rose the entire audience caused the house to ring with its applause. It Is a pretty act, ■ • Ben Welch, the Hebrew and Italian dialect comedian, again proved his worth as one of the best entertainers In his line of stage en- deavor. Much of his material was new, and tbe big audience enjoyed bis sincere efforts to cater to their amusement Joe Kcno and Rosic put over their lively musical and dancing specialty with their ac- customed success. The Six Brown Bros, demonstrated by the qnullty of their offering and manner In which It was received by the Monday audience, that tbelr appearances In local vaudeville are too Infrequent. It is one of the finest musical acts In vaudeville. Rem Brandt opened the show In hit car- toon creations. The Three Ernests, In the number two po- sition, got by nicely In ontertainlng acro- batic work, the tramplln bed giving them fail play for their excellent comedy work. ■ Columbia (J.

A good slied house witnessed the performance 8aturday afternoon, May 25. A man and woman comprise the team known at the Christies, singing and dancing performers. Their foot work la much better than their vocal endeavors. A young woman, billed aa Alma Plckard, offered three songs, none of which made much of an Impression. Bossener, Hlllman and company, la a com- edy sketch, entitled "Goldstein's Wedding," went very well. It was well acted; and liked by the audience. Lewis and Howard, an attractive young woman and a well built young man, offered a very pleasing aot. Some of their talk waa clever, and their singing and talking was also liked. The Harlem Opera House Players offered an amusing comedy, entitled "Light House- keeping." The story la of a young man and woman Just starting housekeeping. They have their first quarrel, and then all ends happily. Dickens and Floyd, a man and woman, made up aa tough characters, played tbe part. The woman, as a newsglrl, was excel- lent. The man sang nicely and the act went over well. Gregolre, Elmlna and company, a man, a woman and a "helper." pleased with their balancing feats. The best stunt Is done by tbe man. who climbs a ladder, balancing a heavy sofa on his forehead. Not the least pleasing feature of the show were the motion pictures. • Henderson's Mnslc Moll (Frank M.

They have added some new material to their act, all of which met with much favor. ■ "The Courtiers," one of B. A. Holfe's best endeavors, made one of the biggest hits ever witnessed here. As the act is well known, It Is needless to go into details. AI. Fields and Jack T.ewli, two big favor- ites here, were teen In their funny Bklt, called "Misery of a Hansom Cab." Their whole performance was a riot from start to finish. Roth are natural comedians, and they kept the audience roaring with laughter every minute they were on the boards. La Deodlna, In animated visions of art, Is a hew act, and will be fully reviewed In next week's Issue. Rosa Crouch s-t\d Leo Welch, "That Lively Pair," certainly lived up to the billing. Both are excellent dancers, and execute severs! styles of dancing 1 that won much applause. Grace Dixon, as a singing comedienne, ranks with the best. She renders four songs, featuring "Lovln' Man," which earned for her many encores. She makes a neat appear- ance In a white gown. The lady Is a good looker, and has a fine singing voice. Bobby and Dale, two clever eccentric come- dians, bad a good spot on the bill and walked home big winners. One of. tbe boys has an excellent voice, using It to good advantage; the other, appearing, using a Dutch dialogue. The act Is a good one and siiould have little trouble In keeping well booked.

In tbe Supreme Court In Trenton, N. J., on Saturday. May 25, I,ce flhubert got a setback In his suit to recover $25,000 dam- ages from the Nixon Amusement Company snd Florence Zlegfeld Jr., manager of Ibo Apollo Theatre, in Atlantic City, from which Mrs. Sfaubert and three friends were ejected at an opening performance lu June, 1000. There was then a bitter rivalry between tbe two theatrical managements. In dismissing a demurrer filed by Mr. Shubcrt to the defendants' plea, the court adhered to the old common law rulo that tho sale of a theatre ticket creates only a per- sonal license to enter the theatre and enjoy the performance.
