June 1 THE NEW* YORK CLIPPEE, 11 r N EW VAUDEVILLE : ACTS The Two Hollander.. WiKTBB Gardes, TUMday, MAT 21. To the list of entertainer* at the Winter Garden, there wu added on Monday night, Slay 20, a man and woman, named Clue- tlenni and Loulsette, with the title of the Two Hollanders. They presented a unique act, conceived and written by the man, en- "The ClOYm." Colonial, Monday. Matines, Mai 27. There is the basis of an Interesting little atl «l "From Peasant to Artist," which eon- playlet la this new sketch, from the pen,of ««nes about a half hoor, on the full stage. Edgar Allan Woolf, bat the attempt to Tne. act U introduced by motion pictures. crowd too much action and dramatic sltna ttons during the twenty minutes required for Its showing, seriously mars the Intended aim of Its author. showing the trip of the peasants to the stage of the theatre. After the pictures hare been shown, the man and woman, dressed in peasant costume, resell the stage by wsy of Ta§ sketch, opens In front of a circus tent, tte centre aisle of the theatre. They sing s ■where a young down is supposed to be mak- ing a little speech to the prospective visitors to the show. Changing to.the dressing room of the per- formers we find them preparing for the per- formances. The principal clown Is the father of the junior down. The boy's mother has deserted the old clown, and as she comes hack to the tent she tads that the boy, while performing his set in the ring, has met with an acci- dent, and is lying unconscious In a side tent She pleads with the ring maater to let her song, when the woman retreats and the man takes the place of the orchestra leader and conducts the orchestra for his partner, who re- appears, first as an Italian souhrette, then as a French music hall singer, then as a Spanish dancer,- and then as an English comedienne, wearing a Gainsborough hat and costly modern evening gown. With each change (whleh is rapidly made) she sings appro- priate songs in a pleasant voice. While she is off stage making the changes, the man sings and delivers a monologue from the orchestra leader's chair. At the conclusion >e her boy, and we then discover that It rf •* Ia ** Mn 8 fle J nni P» U P<® the stage was this man who had caused her separation * nd J 01 "* Wi Partner, who has again ar- from her husband.

Curtain. The cast: rayed herself as a peasant, and they sing •'Everybody's Doing It Now," la Dutch fashion, to very funny "business." The woman has a very pleasant person- ality, and if It Is true that a woman's crown- ing glory is her hair, then this little woman jerry. * Joseph Adelman ls a queen ""ong women, for her hair drops Little Jerry Madeleine Reynolds Capt.

Both of them speak Eng- lish well. The act has been seen on the Orpheum time. "Hashed Up," Pboctoi'b Fifth Avenus, Matins!, Max 27. "Hushed Up," a one act dramatic playlet written' hy Harrison Armstrong, was pre- sented at the Fifth Avenue, for the first time. May 27. ;/ The story deals with an inspector of police- who has adopted a daughter of William Cregin, a suspect, who has been ar- rested for a murder. Cregin admits the mur- der, but explains the circumstances to the inspector, who in turn has the case hushed up and destroys the evidence against Cregin. The act must be seen to be appreciated. It Is well, written, admirably ■ played, nicely staged, and holds the Interest of the andlencc throughout. The dramatic situations are very helped the act along greatly, and It held the strong and well worked up. attention.of the audience.

The story of the playlet deals with the lite of department store employees, mainly three salesgirls, one floorwalker, and the usual fresh girl who wraps up tho merchan- dise. Some shoppers help give a sort of a department store tint The floor manager is somewhat smitten with a new saleslady who is not worldly wise. Llssctte Mooney proves to be the good Samaritan and give* the youngster good advice. The plot la lost a little dense, but bright lines are scattered throughout with numerous funny situations, formaoce.os William Cregin, and proved him- self to be an actor of rare ability. James Cherry, as the police Inspector, gave a fine portrayal. Thomas V. Morrlsey, as Officer Hogan, scored. Brace Elmore and Marion A. Day lent good aid.

"To Bail a Man," a dramatic sketch, taken from' Jack London's story by Col Cooper Nugnue, and played by Emmett Corrigan and Edna,Baker, seems assured of a long ran in vaudeville. It Is staged appropriately and well acted. The story tells how a man, at- tempting to rob a house to help a needy friend, Is discovered by the wife of the owner, a'handsome woman. She ls kind.to him, but at the same time she rings for assistance unknown to him. At last, after telling him she will lend the money to help his friend, she grabs his revolver. Then <t servant comes in, whom she sends for the police. He tells her that hell ls crowded with deceptive women like herself, and finally leaves, daring her to shoot. Mr. Corrigan gave a capital portrayal of the robber, and Miss Baker was convincing as the woman. The act requires eighteen minutes. I Wilbur Sweatman. HiNDiaso.v'8 Music Hall, Wednesday, > Mat 22. 'An act that gives every Indication that it will be in demand, was given by Wilbur Sweatman, at this house, last week. Clarinet playing is seldom given a chance on tho vaudeville stage to-day, but after hearing Sweatman, one la likely to wonder why this is so. The principal part of his perform- ance la playing ragtime, and he made such a hit after rendering about a dozen airs, that the audience kept asking for more. He fea- tures, playing two Instruments at one time, which Is a clever piece of work, and earned for him plenty of applause. He makes two changes of costume, and the act runs about twelve minutes, in one. Veulta Gould. Hbndibson's Music Hall, Wbdnbsdai, Mat 22. A young woman that will be heard from on big time shortly, is Venlta Gould, who pre- sented a new act here last week, consisting of impersonations, and made one of the big- gest hits of the bill. Miss Gould has a good voice, and makes a fine appearance in a hand- some white gown. She gave about seven im- personations, the best being that of Sam Bernard, Anna Held and Nailmova. 8bc also gave one of the late Geo. Walker, sing- ing "Bon-Bon Buddy," and took several en- cores for this endeavor. Her ad runs about fifteen minutes, in one. sette, and made a pronounced hit Mary. Cecil Volgt, as Myrtle Crllley, gave a very good performance and scored. Gar- field Thompson, as the floorwalker, was very good. Irene Eby and Mollle Ma Dona scored.
