Dixon's Bit; ReVlcw, featurlne Frankle Heath and Harry Le Van, launched its RMson's run at the Empire, Newark, N. J., Aug. 20. Though the hook remains the same as last season, many changes are noticeable. New costumes, scenery and a number of catchy musical numbers have been Interpo- lated, and considering that the show has just opened, an enjoyable performance was given. Frankle Heath la a performer who knows how to sing a song well, and works up her lines in winning manner. Her little dra- matic hit In "Tbe Girl from the Golden West," was enjoyed, as was the Mendelssohn Spring Song specialty. Harry Le Van Is a comedian of exceptional talent, who does not depend upon suggestive- ness or vulgarity to get a laugh, but puts over good, wholesome comedy In a manner that makes him a hit. His imitation of Eddie Foy Is clever, and his work In the piano specialty, with Miss Heath, was the real hit. Chas. Saxon, In the English character part, was great. Mr. Saxon has a good voice, reads lines In a manner that makes him stand out, and his work was a noticeable feature. Harry Lorraine, as Adam Grouch, was responsible for a good share of laughs, and he was a fa- vorite with the audience. Geo. Hemlock gives a fine portrayal of a rube. His work deserves mention, as it is seldom that burlesque patrons sec a per- former who knows how to work up a part of this character without overdoing It. George Sanders, as the sheriff, was well liked, and scored in the part. Gialre Devlne is one of those big, shapely blondes, who knows how to lead numbers, and is a stunner in Bilkers. She has a good voice and was a winner. 'Evelyn Knowlea, in a soubrette role, was nicely drafted, puts over several numbers in lilt form, and was well liked. Florence Brooks sang herself into popularity, and her work possessed merit. Maurice Brandon gave a good performance and was well liked, as Was Ada Berkley. Tbe olio included a one act playlet taken from "The Girl from the Golden West, which was good. Harry Le Tan's imitation of Eddie Foy was clever and well liked. Frankle Heath, in the "Spring Bong" imitation of Gertrude Hoffmann, scored. Henry Dixon has introduced a novelty opening for the first part, which Is a sort of shadowgraph affair. A white drop Is lowered, and one by one the different mem- bers of the company are shown on the screen, dropping down upon the stage. The musical numbers were: "You Wouldn't Know tbe Old Place Now," Harry Le Van; "Bump, Bump on Tour Automobile." Evelyn Knowles; "when You're Away," Claire De- vine and Charles Saxon; "Who Puts Me in My Little Bed,'" Evelyn Knowles: "In the Days of '61," Frankle Heath; "O'Reilly," Florence Brooks: "Dance of the Hours," Claire Devlne : "Take Mc Back to New York," Frankle Heath; Sextette.

Bii.it Dunn reports that his Stars of Stngeland Is getting the Boston crowds, and gcod bouses rule at alt performances. Dave Gvhas, looking after Forrester's In- terests reports all's fine and rosy with the American Beauties. (EASTERN) At the Gayety, Pittsburgh, Inst week, the American Beauties, with Cook ami Lorens as the principal comedians, gave a good show, which pleased everybody. The piece has) very little to It except the parts of tbe prin- cipals, who run In practically all the "stuff" they have been pulling in vaudeville for sev- eral years. However, the audience liked It and had many good laughs, thanks to tbe clever manner in which it was "put over." Helen Byron, prima donna, advertised aa "just breaking Into burlesque," delivered several songs In a pleasing manner and got many rounds of well earned applause. Miss Rfron has a aweet voice, though none too strong for thla line of entertainment. Next hi line came Sylvia Jason, not bigger than a half a minute, but pretty as can be, and some worker. The crowd was with the Mttlo "chick" all the way down the stretcb, nnd kept her doing many encores. Her prettiest song was "Tennessee Moon," assisted by the chorus, who worked tbe piece up la great shape. May Brandon and Marie Holden had plenty to do, and did it well. These girls are favorites hero and received generous np- Elnuie for their work. Cook and Lorens ept the company in balance and made plenty of fun. Lorens's work with the chorus, while Brandon and Holden were singing "Ragtime Melodies," should have been given the centre of the stage, as It wag cieverly put on nnd took the large audience by storm. The scenery Is pleasing to the eye, while the large and handsome cborui are good singers and dancers, and do much to make the show a success, Earl Llndeman, Thos. W. Glenroy and James W. Hughes handle their parts in a satisfactory manner, In the second part, the principal features were the piano playing of Sylvia Jason and Jack Lorenz, the toe dancing of Marie Brandon, who la very clever In this line, and the musical entertainment of the Mu- sical Mntds (MJsscs Crimes, Burns and Orif- tin), who ronld not give the large audience enough, and It waa with regrets that they were allowed to finish. The girls give a pleasing musical entertainment on various Instruments. They deserve all the credit given then. May Holden and Marie Rrandon singing "Beware of Automobiles," and May Holden singing "Put On Your High Hat" went big, while Ed. Llndermnn rendering "Robert B. Lee" was accorded a rousing re- ception. - • ■ Tbo entire show went well, and should da big during the present season. Plain and pretty costumes, without all the oldtlme gin- gerbread effect tlwt was formerly worn by the chorus, show nil the girls up to 'the best advantage. There is a pretty blending of colors, and all the girls know how to wear their costumes Misses Buron and Jason, have several very pretty changes. The chorus: Qeorglo Redmond, Martha Horton, "Tiny " Rainbow, Margie Mallownle, May .Merrylnnd, Edna Roberta, Jncklyn Pull- man, Jess Williams, Marie Mallowmc, Billy Dare. Bessie Dutton, Mabel Schwartz, Hazel Wnodburv, Dodc Johnson, Robbie Bartolette, Jean Fuller, Sadie Ro It, Clara Boyle, Llllle Reynolds, Flo Manjuei a.

Tub Star ano Carted show picked up a stray dog In Pittsburgh, and will carry him as a mascot for the season. GAY WIDOWS (Western). Louis J. Oberworth'a Gay Widows opened at the Orphciirn, I'atcrson, N. J., Aug. 2<1, for three days. The show la finely equipped, with handsome wardrobe, and the itnge net- tings equal that of any musical comedy. Still, Mr. Oberwortb lives up to the word, burlesque, and gives his patrons what they pay to see, a rest burlesque show, with plenty of good, clean comedy and a combina- tion of good principals and a handsome chorus. Rose Alarcon, a newcomer to burlesque this season. Is without a doubt one of tbe hand- somest women la her line, has a splendid voice, and knows how to deliver her lines and work up bcr songs. Joe Taylor rs another performer wbo made his debut In burlesque ranks this season. As a German comedian he wns Impressive, has a good conception at comedy, and scored heavily. Jas. K, Dnly was good In Irish parts, and handed out plenty of laughs. Max Rltter waa a real feature with the show. He works up his l'nes, has a good voice, and put a number Just right. Kddlo Mark, Chas. Mntteo and (loo. Faw- cett were nicely placed la minor roles, and were well liked. . .Mile. SlUber Is one of those big, strong leads, with cultivated voire ot exceptional range, knows bow to use It, and made the audience behave well with the applaiiBc, Grace Foster, the soubrette, has magnet- ism and looks, sings her numbers In. good voire, and was a great btg hit. Phyllis Foster, Ingenue, romped along In hit form from start to finish. She looks dainty and pretty and was a winner. The first pert, showing a pretty interior setting, and entitled "The Cabaret," was a good opener. Bright Hues and comedy went nicely distributed. A number ot cabaret fea- tures were Introduced, and a more enjoyable first part Is seldom seen. The cabaret spe- cialties by the Five Alarcons, Mexican sing- ers and dancers, wcro tbe star offerings. Mile. Slllber and Joaeffo Rotcllo, In operatic selections, was a fine offering. The ratter- Foster Trio had a clever singing and dancing specialty. The numbers In the first part were : "The Heidelberg Song," by Joseffo Rotcllo: "I Want You to See My Girl," by Max Hitler, and "The German Prince," by Joo Taylor. The burlesque, entitled "The Dope Dream," was good. A lively number by the chorus was the opener. Phyllis Foster mad« a hit singing "Ragtime Jockey Man;" "Baby," by, Emma Herbert and Bcrtba Woods, was nice- ly put over. "In the Garden ot Love," Mile. Slllber sang In fine voice. "Everybody Two- Step" was a tast number, worked tip and sung well, "Mexican Bull" was a good number, by Rosa and Llta Alarcon, to many encores.
