It is novel in theme and treatment, and its story in spite of the Monday it had "an the appearance of a new house In Its spick and span dress.

Tho ahow opened with a slow start, Mouday evening, and vary little inUreat was shown* by thu audience until It was well under way. Drown and Williams, two young men, opened the show. They dress neatly, first lu white flannel suits and later in blue.

The comedy was rather lint, the slngiug being liked much better. ■The Chost of a Violin" was well pot over and called for an encore, Another song In place of the attempted comedy would Im- prove the act greatly. .... . , Harry Puck and Mabcllo Lewis opened In one, with a song nnd dance.

The next part of tholr act, a talking song, did not get over. Thoy closed with some dnnclng steps. Hal Davis and company presented a new act, entitled "The Money Getter," by Bearl Allen. A laugh from start to finish. (See New ActB.) Prank A. Muilano was another newcomer at tho Victoria. (See Now Acts.)
