White and Company. Proctor's Fifth Avenue, Matinee, Dec. 2. Presenting for the first time In New York a thrilling one act episode, entitled "Scan- dal," Porter J. White and his company earned n big hit at the Monday matinee here. The program does not state the author's r.ame, but whoever he Is, deserved much credit for the clever manner In which he hns handled the several different characters. The sketch Is interesting and holds attention from start to flnlsh. The story tells about a play that lias been stolen and presented, and Is witnessed by the original writer, who visits the pirate and denounces him In no quiet manner. To make the pirate confess, the author has a friend Impersonate one of the characters in the play, and, in an argu- ment about being shamefully Insulted, has the pirate confess he stole the copy. The sketch Is written on entirely original llneB and the different characters portrayed in a meritorious manner, Porter J. White, as the author, gave his usual excellent performance. The cast: Nicholas Drood Mr. White Jeffrey Toole John C. Tremayne Horace Tredder Harry Stephens Helen Adelaide Falrchlld Jack. t Itontlnno, Brennan and Company, In "Trbcie and the Amateur." Proctor's Twintt-thiod Stbbbt, Nor. 28. "Trlxle and the Amateur," a new sketch written by Florence Brennan, was given Us first metropolitan tryout at this house, and met with instantaneous success. The net Is well written, nicely costumed and admira- bly played by the authoress and Adellna Itontlno. In "Trlxle and the Amateur" Miss Brennan has penned a story dealing with the trials and tribulations of a performer who Is trying to rise from the amateur ranks, and Is very true to life. The act holds the attention of the audience throughout, and Is marked with many fine lines and situations. Miss Itontlno, who plays the amateur, looked charming in a beautiful costume of lavender, and her rendering of a classical operatic selection and "My Hero," marked her an artiste of exceptional talent. Miss Brennan kept the audience In good humor throughout with her bright lines, which she put over in real hit form. William Zlnnell, as the stage manager, gave a fine performance. The act runs about eighteen minutes. Olio. ■ l ■ Oscar Lorraine and Company. AumrsON, Wbdnbbdat Evening, Not. 27.

Keith's Union Squabe, Etbnimo, Dec. 2. Kathryn Kidder, who created the role of Mme. Sons-Gene, made her appearance In the realms of vaudeville at this house, matinee of above date, and the tabloid of the original piece, under the title of "The Washerwoman Duchess," was delightfully acted In Its en- tirety. The foundation of the sketch tells of Count de Mourney's having been discovered coming from the bedroom of Emperor Napoleon's wife, and how the Emperor followed the sup- posed degenerate count to the room of Mme. Suns-Gene (where the action of the piece takes place). Hearing her husband, Marshal Lefebvre, entering the house, the washerwoman duchess conceals the count behind the window-cur- tains until her husband retires to his room, after threatening what he would do to an unfaithful wife like the Empress. Then Count dcMourncy attempts to make an escape without explaining his reason for visiting Mme. Sans-Gene's apartment "at such an I'.our of the night" But she calls her hus- bund, and before the Emperor Napoleon ar- rives at the Lefebvre home, the Count Is rgala hidden In another room. To prove that the Empress and herself are Innocent of any wrong, Mme. Sans-Gene calls the count, and he explains the reason of his visit to Napoleon's wife and to Sans- Gene's room very satisfactory, while the Emperor and Marshal overhear from their hiding place In the room. Napoleon Is satisfied and pHoaaJaes to obey Mme. Sons-Gene's command, and beg the Empress' pardon Immediately, while Le- febvre embraces his own good wife. Miss Kidder did her work charmingly, The trio closed the act with King at the keys, after donning that female wig Stepp working the banjo, and AUman In comic "opry house" costume, and then the latter two offered a burlesque opera number. As said before, the cabaret stuff in one is where they arc enjoyed. About eighteen minutes, full stage setting. Tod. » The De La Veils. Manhattan Opera House, Nov. 24. A novelty shooting act presented by tbls couple opened In an outdoor Bcene, with several dogs making themselves at home, and a parrot screeching In a cage. A hunter arrives In search of game, and is greeted by the young girl. He places a composition bill on the face and takes several shots without bitting It. The girl then takes up a gun and simultaneous with his shot fires and hits, much to the hunter's surprise. The girl then goes Into a routine of plain and fancy shots, Including perfect hits through glass disc with s small hole; through a funnel, also held by the hunter. Several difficult pistol nnd revolver shots follow without a miss. The bottom of the parrot's cage is then used as a target. A little speech In French accent Is made by the young girl sharpshooter, who Is as perfect a markswomon as has been seen for some time. if ill. The Losano Troupe. Pboctob'b Firm Avenue, Matinrk, Dec. 2. The Losano Troupe of three women and three men. are the latest addition to the already long list of wire walkers. The pro- gram has them hailing from Mexico. May be so, their work being on a par with any act of Its kind. They have pretty costumes, and special scenery, the opening of their They appear in one and sing a love song. Neither Mr. Lorraine or his "company" are gifted with voices. She Is at her best when she impersonates a little girl. Her "voice" Is well suited to this kind of song, and in appearance she looks like a girl of thirteen. Hut the lends nothing to the act She Is pretty to look at—that's all. Lorraine's violin playing wins favor for the act. Abont eight minutes, In one. Third .Bow.

The many difficult tricks performed by them were executed with much easo and grace, although nothing of a sensational nature being shown.
