I. » PROCTOR'S FIFTH AVENUE. (OUS KCCUNBj, MOB.) Another of tic Gas McCune standard pro- grams was presented Monday matinee, and trie audience which was a fair sized one. considering tie heat, seemed to enjoy every act presented. There isn't a hendllner fer- tored. each act feeing In a class by them- B£lVCS Two new acta were shown, both, giving entire satisfaction. James Husscy and Al. Lee lately teamed together, are showing something entirely now. Fcrnnnda Ellscu and her company were seen In a new sketch of the underworld. (See New Acts columns for both the above.) John T. Ray end Grace Hllliard, with their nifty bunch of comedy, called "Hello, Sally," had no cause for complaint at the reception accorded tbein. Both are finished artists, and portray their characters In pleas- ing manner. Held over for the second week, Doris Wil- son and company easily duplicated the largo hit they made last week. The novelty is one of the most refreshing of the season. The singing of Mlsa Wilson again was the bluest feature. Ed, Flanagan and Neely Edwards, In their roar of laughter, "Off and On," cornered the market on laughter. The dancing, which closes their act, made them all sit up and take notice. Pred Warren and Effle Comcy. In songs, dancing and piano playing. Both are fairly good singers, their efforts meeting- with much success. The piano playing of Mi. Warren was exceedingly well liked. Belle Hathaway and her monkey stars cleaned up with monkey capers and smart little tricks. The offering was will liked, and took several curtains at the finish. Clever and beautiful Charlotte Ravens- •roft, with 'her refined singing and violin playing, was a big feature. Fitzgerald and' Udell, the two tramp come- dians, were In number two position and found it rather hard going. They have pretty fair material and no doubt la a better position would go much better. Klpp and Kippy, those remarkable Juggling wizards, showed what experts in this line are capable of doing. Their entire specialty met with much success. "Court by Girls/' one of the latest minia- ture musical comedies, employing some twelve people, mostly girls, closed the show. It met with the same reception as when It appeared at a downtown souse. The work of the principals was good, and the assistance given by the chorus was very much In evidence. Jack. PROCTOR'S TWENTY-THIRD ST. (WILLIAM A MATTHEWS, MOB.) The coolness of Monday, June I), chased the Inhabitants of this vicinity Into Billy Matthews' house to quantities and spread that party's smile to a near rip. Found them standing a _ few deep at the rear of the house, and Inspector Mullln doing business In big time manner, and to rhyme method- ically with a real snappy program the five ?lece orchestra worked themselves Into urther popularity with continued well ren- dered "high art" bits. The opening bill of the week was topped off by the Modern Svengall, a musical mys- tery act. In which the transmitting of re- quested songs, by tho man In £he orchestra to the lady at a piano on the stage, and her tinging of each held the audience's Interest throughout (flee New Acts.) Lulgl Del Oro, the clever accordeon player, played and played and pleased. McCauley and Con- sell, clever black face comedians; Gertie Gllson, singing comedienne; Emma De Castro and company, In a comedy sketch, "Winning a Widow,"' and the Empire State Quartette are also reviewed under New Acts In this Issue. Paollnettl and Plquo completed the even- ing's program and, although doing without a few of their former clever feats in bal- ancing, they sprang some new ones. The opening dance, In one, with each wearing a two-headed, extra-legged tramp costume to correspond to their own make-up, was a big laugh maker. Their usual straight and bur- lesque "strength" stunts closed them as fa- vorites. The Incoming bill of Thursday, 12, was not up to the standard. Thomas and Thomas were replaced by Cartwrlght and Aldrich, in a co&«]y skit (see New Acts). "Cheyenne Days," an Imitation of the original act of this title, did not live up to expectations. The act is supposed to be something of Western doings, broncho bast- ing, etc. Some lariat work by one of the "original" act and a bit of riding of a broncho held tip tills much looked for "big one." The company have too much talk to fill in with. The comedian gave evidence of being capable of delivering brighter ma- terial. So first honors at this show were divided between Gertrude Dudley and company and Kennedy and Kramer (both written up under New Acts), while HugoBton and Brummer ran easy for second place. These strong men have clever Ideas for displaying their skill, but still appear to be very ^'new." Albert Dnnnclly, a shadowgraphlst, and Ber- nard and Roberts made up the rest of the bill, and are more fully reviewed under New Acts. "Alkali Ike's Misfortunes" (ERsnnav), "The Blver Whanganul" and "The Stolen Tribute to the King," both by the Mellea Company: "Winter In Mobcow" and "Too Many Maids" (Klnemacolor) and "A Lady and Her Maid/' a Vltagraph comedy, were among the pictures shown. BUT for Juno 10-18: Carrie Lille, O'Don- nell Bros.. Baker and Turner Twins. Cassldy- Longton| company, In "The Smoke Queen;" the Three Military Maids. Kd. Norton and fay Ray. and the Six Webbers. For 19-22: Leslie Mildred, Walah and DUIon, Jane Weir and company. In "The LaBt Offense." De Wolf and Cody, Henley and Dunwalt, Marie Lee and her Seminary Girls, and the Be Ados.

SatToy (Rosenberg Bros, mgrs.)—Motion pictures la which, leading Stan appear is the attraction at iiua house. HAMMERSTELN'S. (WK, IIAUUERSTB1N, MOB.) The bill, consisting of thirteen acts for this week, is beaded by Lady Conatanco Stewart-Richardson, who made her first pub- lic apearance In America at the matinee of June 10. (See New Acts tbls Issue.) El Nino Eddie, who has grown gray In American vaudeville, started the show off nicely In hla bounding wire act, and hie graceful work was liberally applauded. Craig and Overholt followed with one verse of a song, then devoted the rest of their time to dancing, which went well. The Apallo Trio. In reproductions of fa- mous marbles and bronzes, pleased, and took several hows for their fine work, DIero, the accomplished accordion player, appeared In place of Bedford and Winchester, and his mastery of that Instrument evident- ly hit the mark of approval. Knifing's animals, always a eure-flre hit here, delighted the ladles and surprised the male portion of the audience with the perfec- tion of their tricks. The balloon finish re- mains the 'feature of the act The Farber Girls, In their songs and dances, replaced Margaret Hancy and Harry Delf on the bill, and got by nicely. Charles Ahearn's comedians, with Mr. Ahearn as the chief fun maker, caused the usual riot of laughter, and the racing finish is a comedy hurricane. Rafayette's dogs were no small item of a bill which fairly teemed with fine acts. The little fellows displayed remarkable intelli- gence In alt they did, and moat of their work Is away from the general run of canine acts. Frederick V. Bowers and company began a quick return engagement here 10, and his act even went better than on his first visit here, with his musical revue. The Equilll Bros, gave their novel oqulllb- ristlc act, and the originality of their per- formance and the paraphernalia they use caused the audience to sit up and take notice. Bedlnl and Arthur put over their well liked Juggling act, and finished with a tra- vesty upon the classic dancing of the titled lady who had preceded them. Revolving Collins closed the show with his skatorlal novelty. Old Timer. GREELEY SQUARE. (M. M. BLOCKS The bill for June 12-11 included: The Graham Moffatt Players, In Scotch, present- ing the clever character sketch, entitled "The Concealed Bed," with good comedy ef- fect Sam Harris, with a style all his own, opened with a story, followed by some others more effective, and he cleaned up all the splause In sight with his parodies on "In My Harem" and other popularities The Saheras gave a clever exhibition of secer.d sight by means of the slntcs with the proper names the months, also figures. The reading of the minds of aud'tora was more amusing than convincing, and the re- plies entertained. Benson and Belle, In full dress, an English act, made doubly good la their dances. A drinking song by Mr. Benson and a coster- monger rag also went well. The lady Is clever on her toes, and their combined acro- batic dancing steps were graceful and showy. Crumbley and Glass, colored comedians, made a hit with their speech, with the ex- plosive laughter of the blackest of the two. * 'Way Down Home" was an effective song offering, and "Ohl What a Time" aroused the audience to an unsatlaled desire for more verses. Their concluding duet, "Life Is a Game of Checkers," In which they play a funny specie of that game, got them re- peated curtain calls. All right fall right! The La Wana Trio of instrumentalists and vocalists sang and played piano, flutes and piccolo. The ladles sang a duet and all their numbers went over nicely. The Hnsmans, a tall acrobat and a minia- ture of him, both In frock coats, did all that possibly could bo done In the band and head balancing line. Tbe straight swings from the floor to a one hand balance, were sensa- tional bits, and the little fellow never missed a trick In the straight work, as well as in the natty comedy interludes. The Black Brothers opened with, banjo medleys well played, tbclr piano and banjo duets of the latest approved harmonizations both In classic and popular subjects. As a finish they danced a neat combination of steps in record time and were endorsed O. K. by nil those present "Don't You Wish Ton Were Back Homo Again" was well sung by F. J. Brennan, on behalf of Cbas. K. Harris. The house eagerly joined in tho chorus. The Interesting pictures, as usual, were applauded. ItUl. American'theatre. (CIIAS. P0T80AM, MOB.) On entering this theatre one almost for- gets the beat on the outside, for Manager Potsdam has had everything fixed to make his patrons feel cool and comfortable. The bill for June 10-18 Is a very good one, with such acts as: Eeatrlce, a gypBy violinist, who plays very well, and has a pleasing personality. She was very well received. Murphy and Foley, two men In black face, proved themselves to be very good dancers. lllenzl Trio, Italian opera singers, with beautiful voices. The lady In the act Is a sweet voiced soprano, and her singing la English of "Last Night Was the End of the World" was very well rendered. Ross and Ashton, two men in ". somewhat different act, new talk and new parodies, went over big. English Pony Ballet, six girls, sang, danced and played xylophones very well. All of the girls are exceptionally good dancers. Irving Goslar offered his pianologue, and went orer smoothly. John T. Kelly and company, in a hilarious "drunk" sketch, was a laugh getter from start to finish. William Cnblll. If any act ever stopped a show at this house, this Irish comedian and story teller done that little thing Monday afternoon. Billy crashed from one hit Into another and tbe audience would have had him make a day of It Big is mild criticism. (Mighty Mlto Moo Ree, the diminutive fe- male Hercules and trapeze performer, was a real good closing act The Illustrated Bong "Let Tier Go" proved another hit for Jack von Tllzer. The pictures were all good, Pete. * Madison Square Iloof Garden*—Tho popularity of the Wishing Tree here Is Indi- cated by the large crowds who visit tbe Gar- den nightly to wish. The Chinese Restaurant is particularly attractive. A few of the fea- tures of thtf cabaret offered lor thlB week are: Edith Barton, singer; Anna Walters, Brooklyn's soprano: Neccla Vallle, coon shottter: Myrtle Holand. In her song, "Keep Walking:" Margaret Whslen, Edith Dean and Belle Ralncy, a Western ballad singer, and Eddy and Karle, dancers, to say nothing of dancing in the moonlight New Brighton (Sam.

Manager Elegfeld unfolded the novel- ties of his newest review—the seventh, by the way—and, while It contains much that Is worth while, It falls below the standard set by his previous productions. It Is rather weak In comedy, and many of tho lines of the piece are suggestive. . , As Is usual with a Zlegfeld show, it Is rich In girls of great beauty and forms divine, as their costumes proved. Brevity is the soul of wit snd also the predominating feature of a Zlegfeld chorus girl's costume. The show lagged somewhat on the opening nlgbt There were many surprises, but no really great novelty. While there are many ipretty tunes, there Is no song that you can take away with you. and tbe hook will not add any medals to the author's collection. The first surprise was tbe appearance of Nat M. Wills minus his well known tramp make-up. Nat wore the conventional evening clothes throughout the evening, except In one scene, when be appeared as a suffragette. Several songs fall to bis lot the best being "If a Table at Rector's Could Talk." While Nat got over big with this new line of "stuff," we would have preferred to see him as the "tramp." Jose Collins, the featured woman of the production, had four songs which she ren- dered excellently. She has one of the best soprano voices heard In the lighter musical works of the theatre to-day. She was a do- light to the eye, and the gowns that she wore were creations of the dressmaker's art. Florence Nugent Jerome, the young daugh- ter of "Billy" Jerome, the «ong writer, made, on this occasion, her first appearance with, a regular production. Dainty, pretty and charming Is Miss Jerome, and she went through her role like a veteran. In a Bong, entitled "Katie Rooney," she won the hearts of that great audience. Beyond doing his specialty, which Is very funny, Frank Tlnney does very little. Id a burlesque on a French triangle drama he ap- pears In white face, dressed In knee breeches, richly embroidered coat and a powdered wig. He plays the role of a husband and was funny. The others in the burlesque were Miss Collins and Martin Brown. But to Leon Errol went the comedy honors, for he was easily the funnh »t of the comedians. Nothing funnier than bis dance, "Turkish Trottlshness," has been seen on the local stage In many a long day. He Is assisted In this dance by Stella-Chatelaine, and at Its conclusion the audience simply yelled—that 1b tho word,—yelled for more. Seldom has a comedian received a greater reception than was accorded Errol. Elizabeth Brlce had several good songs to sing, and of course, acquitted herself with credit In a telephone episode (no doubt a burlesque on "At the Switchboard," late at the Princess) she was capital. This scene furnished the nearest approach to a big nov- elty. Miss Brlce sat In one In front of a switchboard and sang a song called "Hello, Honey." Then comes Into •view several char- acters who are telephoning to each other. The wire becomes crossed and a general mix- up in conversation occurs. Tbe well known comedian, J. Bernard Dyl- lyn, played the role of MoSwccney, a "cop," end got many laughs out of a role that would have meant nothing la the hands of a lesa experienced player. There is ono thing about Dyllyn which many an actor lacks—you can always understand what lie la talking about. Ethel Amorlta Kelley, a pretty and shapely young woman, Is prominent in the produc- tion and scored heavily with a dance, In one. Rose Dolly and Martin Brown contributed one of their cleverly executed classic dances, and were compelled to give an encore. It seems that Miss Dolly gets prettier every time that we sec her. There were others In the cast, but they have little to do. The moat Imposing of the many scenes Is "The Opening of the Panama Canal," which Is full of patriotism, life, color, and is a wonderful finale to the first act Raymond Hubbell's music Is for the most part melodious, and the numbers written by Buck and Stamper arc catchy. Tbe costumes end the scenery are, of coarse, very elaborate. Keleev. * Academy of Mnslo |Robcrt El Irwin, mgr.) good old-fashioned standby, "East Lynne" engages the attention of players and audience here this week.

For the last half of the week will be: The O'DonoeU Bros., Harrison-Wolfe Trio, Thomas and Thomas, Lawrence Gordon and company, Flossie La Vere and company, and "Cheyenne Days." New York (wo, Morris, mgr.)—(Begin- ning Monday, June 10, a split week policy, giving sn entire change of program on Mon- day and Thursday of each week, was Inau- gurated at this house. The bill for the first three days of this week Includes: Clifford Hippie and company, In "Tho Littlest Girl:" Four Brothers Kooei, Aldo Brothers, Watson and Fllnn, Four I-adella Comlques, Trlbaldl, Click aud Dale, Marlon .Solomon, and Win.

Ethel Grey Terry appeared as Laura Murdock, Clifford Brace as John Madison, William Buley Hatch as Wlllard Brockton, and Josephine Drake as Ellis Sinclair. Keener** Third Arnof (Ed. J. Mr- Mahon, mgr.)—.Vaudeville and motion pie- tares. UNION SQUARE (a. r. KOI1KR5J, HUB.) So many hearlHas features vie with on* another In the bill arranged for this week at this theatre that It Is difficult to name the one to whom precedence should be given, and It would be only fair to say that honors are about equally divided botween Ulllsn Shaw, Paul Dickey and Yvettc. Miss Shaw received a warm welcome fa vocal isms, and as she appeared In char- acter costumes appropriate to her songs, she is justly entitled to be classed as a char- acter comedienne. Her old songs were given In. her usual lively manner, aad were liber- ally applauded, as usual. Paul Dickey In his sparkling sketch of the campus, called "Tbe Come-Back," and aided by j. capital little company, kept the laughter on tap during the twenty minutes of the highly amusing little sketch. Mr, Dickey is its author, and It Is brimful of bright lines and funny situations. Vvette, the talented and dainty vlollnlate, has come Into her own, at the very apex of her chosen profession. II cr new musical creation Is entitled "A Study In Black Art" and It gives the young womau splendid op- portunity for the display of her art as a vlollnlstc. The Marvelous Molls thrilled with a rou- tine of revolving aerial work, which was one of the plenslug features on the bill. The Nine Krasy Kids' offering was well liked, aad they tore along from start to finish and were a solid bit The "Kill Karo Kouple," John and Winnie Henalnga, with their musical melange, were one of the bright spots on the bill, and their specialty was a real offering. (New Acts, next week.) Newhoff and Phelps presented their little playlet, entitled "Caro of General Delivery," and made a good Impression. (Now Acts, next week.) Dlrklns' dogs closed tbe shoic, which Is ono of merit from first to last. r Olio. a Olympic (David Kraua Amusement Co., mgrs.)—From melodrama the show shifts to comedy this week, is tfswrfgw a Failuret la this weeks bill, with the following cast: Dobson, Walter Knlffen; Mrt.
