As Otto Getz, the sausage maker spent "One Night In Paris," and bad a great time Willi Mtllle Fontaine, played by Clara Douglas Rackett. Miss Rackett la full of th« liurlesquo spirit and handled the role nicely, with plenty of dash. Her charming person- ality waa helped along with several showy costumes. Wo, Armstrong was a funny Cook Wnulen, constantly In and out of trouble; l.ee Hickman played the at might as Lucky Change. Jonn Olshane wan the musical di- rector, end B. Wilson the lookout. Margaret La Voun, Ada Lum, Blanche Roberts ap- peared to advantage In small rolei, and Huby Gray and Vlrglc Cllne were two lively little all-round helpers In the number*.

The numbers wore "Drink, Drink, Drink," "Beautiful Doll," "Good-Bye," by Ada Lum: "Itagtlmc Melodies," by Misses Oray end Cllne; "You're Ma Baby," by Clara Rackett; "Don't Make Mo Lough," by Mr. Fay; "The Hold-up Rag," with a lot of gunplay, led by Lee Hickman ; "Serenade," by win.

The Interview between Mr. Flay and Mr. Hickman created many laughs. Miss Rackett Impersonated a nurse with good effect. The comedy livened up considerably here. Near the finish Gus Kay waa In an orchestra scat and helped alone In the "Old High Hat" number by playing the bass drum, then the cornet and the trombone In the orchestra, after a lively nltercatlon with Lee Hickman. He was finally ejected. Miss Rackett finished well in -white tights. Leo Hickman led the "Alabama" number, nnd several novel bits were introduced, with the chorus in funny situations and falls. "Down In Mississippi" gave lively little Miss Gray another chance. "Green Grass" was Mr. Fay's bit.

Another capital hill, which Is fast putting this house among the leading small time the- atres, was presented the latter part of last week. The audience, which is a capacity one at almost every performance, is an easy one to please, each act coming in for plenty of hearty approval. Annie Suits, A blonde of the most pro- nounced type, went through e repertoire of five songs with a change of costume for each one, and walked away with a large size hit The young woman has a fairly good voice, and renders her songs in a rather original way, and earned plenty of applause at the conclusion of her specialty. Hilton and Banner. In a comedy military sketch, just about got over. Both hoys may have been on the stage for some time, but their action didn't seem to show it. They have a good bunch of material, and If put over In a more snappy manner their act would be on a par with the usual seen here. The Three Dainty Maids were all that the name implies, but ns singers didn't meet with very much success. One of the girls gave a good ragtime specialty at the piano and man- aged to save them at the conclusion of their act. They have selected pretty costumes and wore them well. One of the cleverest sketches seen here In some itlme was offered by Harry H Iliad and company. The story Is a good one, and held the attention of the large audience through- out its whole presentation. Mr. Ulllad guvc a fine portrayal of his character, as did also his little compeny. Martin and Frank, two men, in a singing nnd dancing performance, pleased grently. The songs they render, while good, should be substituted for some more up-to-date. Uarlon, Duffy nnd Glldon, cabaret per- formers, clean up. The boys appear In evening dress, and got over with a nifty bunch of songs. AM three have line singing voices One of the boys gave n remarkable demonstration of ragtime playing that earned him several encores. renrson, Lyons and company. In comedy and songs, and the Two Clarks, comedy novelty ncrobats, also came In for their shore of applause, both with fairly good perform- ances. Jack. ■ , HAHMERSTEUN'g. (III. IIAMMEItSTEIN, HOB.) The bill on the corner this, week drew a parked house the first performance, Monday matinee, March 17. Duffy and May. an acrobatic team, opened Ihe bill with an exceptionally clever acro- batic offering, which went over nicely. Mar- garet Clayton, the lady cartoonist, sang and talked herself into the good graces of the audience while drawing a clever routine of colored cartoons. (Seo New Acts.) The l'rlmrose A Dockstadcr Minstrels was a tremendous offering, which went over like wlldJIrc. The minstrels were nicely cos- tumed In white dress coats, yellow waist- coats nnd blue trousers, and their voices were heard to good advantage. Johnny Foley song "Uncle Joe" to many encores. Kilgor Wilson put over "A Garland of Old Fashioned Roses" in fine voice. "You Arc Just As Sweet At Sixty" was a stalwart offering sung by Frank Fnrren. •"Happy'' Jack Lambert anng "Lead Me To That licnullful llnnd." to ninny encores. The Miserere from "II Trovatore" was a sensational hit, NttpT by Raymond Wyllo, in n rcmarkablo falaesotto voice, This young man has a voice of great raage and sweet- ness, nnd lie was compelled to sing three songs before the audience would let lilm re- tire. Geo. Primrose offered "When I Waltz With You," doing one of hts own waltz clogs at tho finish. The Sextette from "Lucia," sung in ragtime, was a grand finale. Doth Geo. l'rlmroso and Lew Dockstadcr held down positions ns eud men, to no end of merriment. Harry 9. Slevcrs -was the interlocutor. Van Hoven, tho crazy <maglclan, had the folks on the coiner in tears of laughter. His act was one of the big hits on the bill. Tho Six Brown Bros., la a premier musical act, just tore along from start to finish with a classy saxophone and brass act, which scored big. Wilfred Clark and company amused with their fane, entitled "What W1P Happen Next." Toots Pnka and her Hawallans, opening nfter intermission, were well liked and scored as usual. Lew Dockstadcr, with a new line of "bull," just romped along, getting a laugh a minute. Ills suffragette bit, with four followers, pre- senting himself as Dull Moose Roosevelt, was n riot. A large floral horseshoe was pre- sented to lilin nt the conclusion of IiIh net. Tlie Australian Wood Choppers uiude their usual hit. VnnderMlt and Moore, In songs rrd dances, rather late on the bill, mnnnged to get over after hard running, but dually caught tho right gait and galloped. Geo. l'rlmrose, America's moat graceful dancer, was the snme great 'lilg lilt. Johnnv Foley nnd Johnny Murphy ably assisted him In a routine of songs nnd dances nnd also scored h<nvlly. The Four Harmonists, Messrs, Sldnev. rlcrson, Webster nnd Stelnman, offered their singing fcperlnlty, entitled "Life In the Philip- pines, 1 which went over big in n bod posi- tion.

Summer Parte and fairs E. C. Carlisle, who returned from San Juan, I*. R, reports that the third Insular Fair and Exposition opened Feb. 22, at Sua Juan. Over 7,991) paid admissions at the gate Sunday, 23, being the best day, playing to 27,000 paid admissions. Owing to much rain last of the week the attendance dropped oil, picking up on the last three days of the fair. Carlisle's Wild West Show was well pat- ronized, a drawing card being the hairless horse, with long tali and mane. Bentley's seven in one was a new. clean, up-to-date outfit, but played to fair business only. Hazeppa, the talking horse, drew fair busi- ness, but not up to tho business they played to two years ago. The snake show seemed to mystify them and played to a steady crowd every day. The Girls' snows were closed up on Monday night, Feb. 24, and not allowed to open again during the fair. Tho Spanish ana Mexican vaudeville played to good business, several of the smaller shows all had fair business. Doc Flagg and Geo. Donavan played to big buslncsa on the Mid- way, with the Hoop-la. The horse racing and betting was a feature of the fair. Rod- man Law made successful flights dally. TnE Aluminum Amusement Co. has been incorporated by Wm. F. Miller, Rupert G. Toole and D. Marshall Flay, of Niagara Fulls. } HIKE SIMONS* DINNER. Mike Simons, the popular stage* manager of Hammcr8tcln's, was given a compliment- ary dinner at The Friars' Club, on Sunday evening, by his fellow members, and so great was the crowd that the committee In charge of arrangements were sorry that they had not engaged the Astor. Everyone of theatrical Importance In the city was present. Everyone had a good time, and Mike's speech of thanks was rated a gem of oratory. Vice President George W. Snramls presided, and the speech makers in- cluded : Al. Banders, William Collier, Jack Gleason. Channlng Pollock, Jean C. Ilavcz, nnd A. L. Jacobs. Under the direction of Martin Sampter, a fine vaudeville show was given after the dinner. The performers in- cluded : Pcnfold and Marshall, Mike Bernard and Willie Weston, Vloltnsky, Lou Holt, Samuel Ash (who possesses one of the purest tenor voices ever heard In the club house), Val Harris, and Ted D. Barron. The ban- nuot was the best Manager Charles Clarke had ever served. Even such cranks on eating as Jean C. Haves and Eugene Kclcey Allen conceded that without a moments hesitation. ■«■»» NEW ACTS FOR LAUDER.
