C o C n T fnd company had a sketch wherein «i crook, by clever disguises and Im- nersonatlona of a policeman and a detective ?t opportune moments, secures possession of Lome stolen diamonds, and finished by tying £n1 those Interested In his capture together. The story Is altogether unlikely but enter- tslnlnsr and the disguises are perfect enough to foof'hls victims thoroughly. Onrson and Wlllard, as German tourists In Japan, entertained with their comedy con- vwR-ulon. and also were well rewarded for their parodies, mostly on political subjects. A parody on "Robert B. Lee" earned them many recalls, which they accepted In novel ,t7 Ar'thur May Co. presented, an act showing how a young city chap who bought some swamp land from a country sharp got the best of the bargain by impersonating another nwMrtrn customer, at a better figure, and, at the same time won the daughters hand. The two country constables were also well clayed, and the whole act was well Hked. The pictures wire: "Hearts and Dia- monds," Edison; "Chased by Bloodhounds," a Vltagraph conrlc. with John Bunny; -Tho Klamm Itavlno In Switzerland,' a Chios icenlc: "Max's Tragedy" and "Automoblln The bill for the first three days of tho week beginning Bept. 28 bad a number of acts new to vaudeville, and a fairly good program was offered. Kdlth Kenny, a double voiced character singer, rendered several songs, fler act. though a little weak, man- aged to get over. Her last song. In male attire, was not up to tho standard. "A Night at the Wedding," with a cast of three, was Impossible. The act was badly written, though well enough played. narry and Kate Trumborn have a plnno and singing act thnt Is sadly In need of good nialerlai. Harry's piano playing Is of the blue note variety, the talk Is old. Kate Trumborn has a good voice, but Is batl'y handicapped by lack of support. Tho Seven Porto Itlco Girls and Saulsbury have a very pretty offering, which Is nicely staged and costumed. The girls arc good ivoikers, their voices blend nicely. The young lady who leads In songs and dances Is s clever performer, who dances exception- ally well. Saulsbury, the male partner la tbc act, Is too stagy. The act might get better results without him. K11II.I and Dunn have a fair act, but It is badly put together. The girl whistles well, and 'ploys nicely on the saxophone; the boy sings In good voice. The act arranged a little differently would be a good offering. Wrlllc Smith was the hit on the bill with his staging specialty. He put his Bongs over lu good voice, knows how to get results. This act would go well over .lie big time. The Three Golds have a bright act, with Jots of good, fast lines worked Into excellent comedy and songs. The Hutch comedian In the set Is very clever. The trio have the making of a star act. ICdward Horton and company have a big time offering In a sketch written around a loving pair of newlyweds. The act Is well written and well played, and scored a hit. Olio. j PROCTOR'S FIFTH AVENUE (ous mccune, van.)

B0QEB8, MQB.) . The current weeks bill, beginning Mon- day matinee, Sept 23,1s topped off with three or four acta of headline calibre, and B aa well balanced an entertainment as has been seen here since B. K. Keith again took hold Marshal: V. Wilder, attcr many year* of absence from the variety stage, was the premier "arouacr of laughter?' with his Midget of humorous anecdotes at the opening show. To open the act Mr. Wilder uses a mo . tlm L J! ,c {!F'.. enti0ed " Th o OrcateM Thing In the World," one of the many he acted ■ a " r ' n * •»'■ engagement with the Vita- graph Company of America. It served aa an appetizer for what was to follow, and the audience Immensely enjoyed his witty stories. "A Night ln a Turkish Bath." one of Joseph Mart's costly productions, with the scene laid In the cooling room of one of those "boiling out" establishments, followed Mr. Wilder on the bill, bnt such did not affect the smart points of this act There Is plenty of fun, some good singing and snsppy comedy ail through, and It served as novel entertainment for the fourteenth Street audience. The Six American Dancers couldn't find a more fitting title to their act They arc with, out doubt the best sextette of clog dancers on the vsudcvllle stage to-day, and the three Ktrls of the team are as lightning fast on the wooden soles as their male partners. Tho net Is beautifully costumed, and tho members work before a pretty brown velvet drop, ln two. From tho time the three girls appeared ln knee length red, white and blue costumes. until the act closed with the sextette ln a perfectly executed dance, the audience Just sat back and enjoyed them Immensely. Lynch and Zeller, those rapid Ore club Jug- gling boys, surely deserved the applause they were accorded. This team only works "ln one." but they know how to satisfy with their unsurpassed tossing of but six clubs. "The Coal Strike," refreshened with new stuff, ls still the vehicle with which those old favorites, Mr. and Mrs. Hark Murphy, manage to please, and they were given a big welcome at the opening performance. We arc all compelled to creep along in years, but Mr. and Mrs. Murphy keep their wit as young as ever. Robbie Gordone. In a posing act repro- duced fourteen different famous statues. It would be hard to pick which was the best of the lot as Miss Gordone has ahowed rare Judgment in choosing the poses. She la a beautifully formed woman, sad her every number drew forth liberal applause. "A French Clock," "The Lion's Bride" snd "The Death of a Dancing Girl," were among those that were most applauded. Joe Whitehead Is all that the program Btates, "In a Bunch of Squirrel Food." Joe managed to entertain with his dancing, but his requests of "What shall I do?" addressed to the audience, Is rather tiresome. "The Courtiers," one of B. A. ltotfc's most elaborate musical productions. (Nut Red!) The net Is on a par with anything that this "producer of good stuff" has ever attempted. The duet singing and dancing numbers, by J. Kllcoyne and Alma Moore, were accorded big upplause, while William Gnlpen and this same couple did nn operatic number well. The Instrumental musical end of the net Is well taken care of by the seven other mem- bers. The act has quantity and quality. S. W. La Veens assisted by a company of four, hi feats of strength, scored finely. (See New Aets). 'The above act took the place of the Three Yosearrys, at short notice.
