WiuU All the burlesque magic performed went over nicely md got them many encores. "l.rnenso Brothers, recently returned from Europe, went big with their funny musical acrolatlc st unts. Cltv (Ben ^eo, mgr.) — Fair buslnes* nl lcs lien- in spite of the heat. The bill for Jnlv 11-13 had several novelties In vnuue- Title ami four reels.of Interesting motions. The l.oJ'> Troupe of five stocky acrobat-; tliowed some interesting work on the gionad Ind on their novel apparatus. On the paral- lel tight wires they performed many start line fiats, including a bridge by the five, with the little wiry topmounter as the key- stone of the arch. A, leap from a high Krcli onto a seesaw board py tie under- ttander sent the topmounter, waiting on be ether end, Into an armchair held by a third Dcmiier, after doing a perfect triple soniei- lault. The entire act met with heartiest I.owe and Devere are two energetic hell toys who sing and dance. "Waiting for the Robert K. l.ec" is their first vocal offering, •iter they Introduced themselves with some lunar shop talk. A "Texas Tommy" bit Is followed by soft shoe evolutions and by a Cossack dance, nnd both finish In sailor loiK with the most approved hornpipe steps. Thomas and Ward, a colored gent and lady tartner. placed good black comedy talk on tlie tapis and the stuttering exclamations by the decidedly black buck, addressed to and replied to by his copper-colored partner, kept lbliigs agoing In tine style. He wore a full ares* coat with a high vest, but that didn't li.rt. A '•bumblebee' 1 song, an exchange of >oetrv nnd other pleasantries were well liked. The lady changed her suit and furnished a solo, to lie joined again by Mr. Thomas In c regular song and dance suit, to a good IdIsu and several bows. Geo. X. Wilson and Carroll Schroeder had a nice line of talk' about sundry tonics, start- tig with a ill tie flirtation. Sir. Wilson ssaj 'That's Why I Never Man-led." Miss fcebrofder sang "Oh, You Wonderful Boy." ind together they put over "The Love Kiss." vbU'h had done duty In burlesque last sea- ran. Miss Scbroeder la a pretty, stately woman, who was one of the good looking 'itiLclpals in the Knickerbockers, and si.e core a fine gown. Mr. Wilson looked and acted well hi his straight role. Itose Gordon and company had a little sketch wherein a young man in love with ''the girl," Induces bis friend to speak for Urn. The friend loves the girl, but on flnd- fcig that she loves (be other, unselfishly re- lotitccs her and helps them to their engage- ment. A pathetic finish ensues, where the friend is left outside, slowly crumbling up a rose given him by the girl, while the success- . Jiil lover Is singing to (he girl In the house. | lllss Gordon looked charming, and her two inlitants also worked well In their respo rre roles, especially the unselfish one. Scv- «ral songs are well placed In the act Doiies and liorell, a baritone and soprano, «ontr!huted another good singing act. Open- Z-Z 5?:th -Dreaming," they changed costumes •eveul times for their other songs, wblclt i-.i::ed "Good-Bye, Hose." and finished with '■■■»•■-* Itosle," a rag with a whirlwind ,.-'' a ' oicn earned them continued applause. .. * Gregorian Quartette of operatic vocui- 52 -*'o ladles and two men, made good In lie r vocal offerings, starting with "Lucia" testate, followed bv '-Moonlight Bay," with wlljutful variations; »ioth«T ?->-mtlc se- lect. ia. and iielr "Ann:'; T.r.-i\ to re- K'tid encores z-frl nu~ba- ?r .-ecu.ia. Mar* Ai-velle made an Immediate hit by *er soprano solo, in a neat white and green Kelth'a Union Square (Rimer F. Rogers, mgr.)—This week's hill nt the big time downtown bouse opened slow, but everyone telt he had bis money's worth at the end of the show. Kdgar Berger, an equilibrist, opened. Ills performance was nothing out of the ordinary, unless It lie the last stunt, in which he proved he has a limber body by twisting It around In a reckless fashion. James McCormack and Eleanor Irvlng's offering appears under New Acts. vVentwortb, Vesta and Teddy (n man, a woman and a dog) did an act made up of gymnastic stunts, in which the work of the dog excelled. Evans Lloyd and Grace Whitehousc really started the big time stuff. Lloyd's perform- ance at a piano and Miss Wbltehouse's bur- lesquing a song, got the first enthusiasm out of the audience. They closed strong. Carter De Haven, who has not been seen In vaudeville for sonic time, appeared here, and with the assistance of a young man and a grand piano, created a so-called riot on Monday afternoon. He dresses as well as anyone could, making three changes. Ills se- lection of gongs Is excellent, and his dancing is graceful as ever. Homer Mad and his company, in "The Opera Singer," gave their usual clever per- formance, but hot weather Is not suited to the pathetic In life, and as a consequence their reception was not as cordial as It usually is. An exceptionally clever young woman Is Fannie Brfce. She had the house with her from the first line of "Mammy's Shufllln' Dance" until she closed. She has a manner- Ism of her own which Is attractive. Her per- formance was a big success. The Four Itegals are men of great strength. One of them holda an anvil weighing three hundred pounds in his mouth, while two of the others pound It with large sledge ham- mers. Their work throughout Is astonish- ing. They do most of their work with jaw holds. i American (Charles S. Potsdam, mgr.)— The perspiring weather of last week had M effect on tho attendance at this house, and the change of bill taking place Thursday matinee. July 11, found another "full house on band. Murray and Scome, comedy jugglers, got by nlcoly with their offering. They sprung something new In the shooting of arrows Into the air ond catching same on what re- wmbled an apple fastened lo the wrists and one on the bock of the neck. It thrilled the audience some. Flc'ds and Clare, two peppery young girls, offered a neat singing and danclug act th-it caught the crowd Immediately. One of the girls In male attire rendered a catchy sonz concerning "Becky," i.nd scored fiucly, while her partner looked sweet in ankle length dress and "opry" cap, and sang "Won- derful Boy" as well. The girls sing well together and should have no trouble landing the "time." Rert Dawson and company, with Bert In a Yiddish role, had the "folks" breaking into the laugh column quite often. The act, "The Marriage Fee," is well worked out, but too much time is wasted between "doings." Edith Clifford! Here's a girl probably just spending a few weeks of the weather en- tertaining the small time audiences as sort of a treat. Edith has a taste for good songg and she knows how to ease them over to proper applause. "He's Just My Music Teacher" was a catchy opening number, and scored finely. Edith sang three others, and fctlll they wanted more. Fine! Bunth and Ituid, those "somewhat dlffei- ent" comedy magicians, were big favorites and won a hearty applause. Hammond and Forrester, one of the neat- est appearing singing and talking teams seen here for some time, were a bit handicapped with their position on the bill, and they found the crowd quite uneasy. No rcasoa for it, however, as this act Is good enough for any "time," and both are good entertain ers. "Bandy Legs" was a numb»r well sung, nnd the audience woke up and realized. Walter H. Browne aud company scored Another success In that prettv diainatic sketch, "His Father's Son.' Each of the four characters was finely acted, and they lung down to four or five curtain calls. Mason and Pierce, a man and a woman, in a smooth singing and a little dancing act, had no trouble scoring. The young woman of the team played an accordion capitally, and was compelled to repeat. Brown and Small, two "bear cat" young fellows, in putting 07er the raj staff, scored ivlth a crash in their s:ngl:r, a;c -acting of ■'Where You Coin'," "Mellow Melody" and •'Hypnotizing Men." A Ge~sn o=edy num- ber was a sure-tire hit by the sm:il;: man ot the team.

"Don's'* accomplishments aro reviewed under New Acts in this Issue. The engagement of the dog Is considered of sufficient Importance to Justify bis being placed at the head of this week's billing. Houdlnl, in his sensational escapes from handcuffs, straltjarkets, etc., continues to In- terest the audiences here at all performances ■for his third successive week. The Ice skating of Grace Helane and Eddie Ilnssetr, and their bevy of pretty girls, Is still the big feature ot the night perform- ances on the roof, and has proved to lie i big "drawing" attraction of the Summer sea- son. Creatore's Band continues as an Important feature of the weekly bills here, and well de- served applause is sure to follow each num- ber of his well selected programs. Blossom, Seeley, well and favorably known to the patrons here, holds an important po- sition on this week's bill. Her songs on Mon- day were admirably suited to her voice and style of rendition, and she scored her usual happy hit. Howard and McCanc returned for another welcome from their legton of friends here, and their "classy" methods In putting over songs of Mr. Howard's own composition met with hearty response from, the two big audi- ences. The Jungman Family, who but recently made the metropolitan debut In a most skill- ful wire act, scored strongly. Composed ot three dainty girls and tw> expert male wirj walkers, they did rartivaeels and somer- saults with wonderful itrn.-e and precision. Their carrying and Jumping feata were also done neatly. The Bison City Qunrt?tt» were given the glad hand of welcome, and It Is a pleasure always to note that the conscientious and finished work of these talented comedians and vocalists never falls to receive the Just appreciation from those in front. Jarrow, the sleight-of-hand artist, who fol- lows no one's lead In the tricks he performs nor In the original "patter" which accom- panies them, succeeded in again mystifying Ills audiences completely. His "lemon" trick, likewise the one with the tobacco, are gems lu their way. Louis Stone has verified all the predictions which were made regarding his work when he first appeared here last season. He is the same diligent and unassuming young man In all that he does, and has become very popular here. Max's Burlesque Circus Is funny enough to make one forget the torrid heat which pre- vailed on Monday. Rem Brandt started the show going with his beautiful paintings, and the Swaln-Ost- man Trio, male acrobnts, brougbt It to a close. Henderson's Mnslc Hnll (Frank M. Faber, mgr.)—On account of excessive heat n very small crowd was on hand at the open- ing performance Monday matinee, July 15. The management Introduced for t'10 Coney Islandltes an exceptionally good bill. The I'alvln Bros., European novelty act, opened the bill with a very clev-jr acrobatic turn which met with the Immediate approval ot the audience. Their work on the double spring board was a real novelty, and the boys were a hit. Orr and Gallagher, offering a clever sketch, entitled "At the Bazaar," was very good from start to finish, both members of the team work well in double harness. The girl lu the act has a good voice, and the act scored. Bert Melrose, introducing the Melrose fall, was a real laugh from rise to fall of the curtain, and be was well liked. Sully and Husscy shared honors with Nat Wills. They work up a lot ot good chatter, t>ni both boys have good voices, sing their songs well, and were a tremendous hit. John T. Doyle and company. In the police romance, "Putting it Over, gave a real clever offering. Mr. Doyle, as chief of de- tectives, was very clever. George Schaffer, as the chief's secretary, scored. Harry Hugenot, as Michael Donovan, was good, and Marlon Wlllard, as the suspect, was a real hit. Harvey and De Vora, with the assistance of a pickaninny (John Dough), sailed along Ju good style and scored. Joe Keno and Bosk Green are always big favorites, and It was necessary for the team to prolong their act four or five minutes be- fore the audience would let them go. Enough said. Nat SI. Wills just tramped himself into the same popular favor with his bobo stuff. Many new parodies and witty sayings made him the big hit on the bill, which he well do- st rred. T.-r >5ev»r and Bros, closed the show with ?. >:tT?=r! ?" rrlrt'i and ::tn!ltv. Yore. Herman and Stone, Major Doyle.

Salvator, a harp player, played selections from the well known operas and popular pieces of to-day. Roberta and De Vera, In a singing and Jug- gling act, were well liked.
