Last week wag very much to Manager Matthews' liking, for his little bungalow of variety had few empty seats at any show. Taking everything into consideration, the Summer Festival and all other programs sent to this house during the past two months have been very much "on the square," gad there has been but a Sneer count of mediocre talent slipped across during alt of the hottest minutes. Four shows a day Is aplenty to make the best of them look very much on tbe weary at the last turn, but "Oh ker Hbble" is a proper finale. The bill for the first half of the week be- ginning Aug. 4 was not as strong as some totter day ones have been, but the Pantzer Duo and Billy Klnkald, and the fact that a young chap, Harry Rose, had cavorted some at the Winter Garden near AI. Jolson, man- aged to hold this usually "cool" audience In quite surprising enthusiasm. The Pantzer Duo were only "on" for six minutes, but In that time these equlli- brlstlc artists did a full :tCO seconds worth of graceful knots and other things In the contortion line. Pantzer still retains that "bustle" like looking Jaunt, and fed him- self some frog's legs or something with the fork on his heel, etc., 'while his graceful good looking partner was more featured with, ker own ability to squirm. Into numerom positions that rppcared to be real comforta- ble to ber. Billy Klnkald. the "hoot mnn" juggler, opening In the kilts, did the hat, umbrella and cigar and cigar box stunts, and then after grousing some fun by having tbe au- dience toss up turnips which be attempted to catch on a three pronged fork held be- tween his teeth, he closed after a change to athletic costume (while Juggling a lamp a-top of a rod, on his chin) with clever manipulation of heavy cannon balls and the usual catching of them on tbe back of his neck and in a steel headgear on top of his full growth of hair. Klnkald does a nice act and be bas a clever Scotch dialect, but needs fresh comedy slipped into It to accom- pany the stunts be docs so well. Tom Kyle, and bis company of three, pre- sented "Big Hearted Grogan," a comedy "oprcy house" sketch, and was favorably re- ceived. Smith and Farmer were sceu In a patter and song act. The Harmony Boys and Girls sing well enough. Stevenson and Nugent offered comedy and sang, and Harry Rose, with songs and some whistling, com- pleted the bill. (Ail of the last four are re- viewed under New Acts.) A much stronger program ushered in the bi-weekly change of acts on Thursday, 7, and Wheeler and Wilson, a couple of "Blngers" (O-O-O!) and dancers; the Throw- ing Tabors, club swingers; Viola Mllford and company, in '"Hie Lingerie Lady," and Mnzto Rowland, a character singing comedienne, came under the wire for leading honors. (See New Acts for all.) The Rice Brothers, German comedians, had colds that they continually mentioned of, worked rather well with old material. (See New Acts.) Mabel Wliltman and her Two "Picks" showed some class in the dressing of them- selves, but Mabel seems talented enough to feature herself above tbe boys. ('See New Acts.) The Arlington Four, a singing quartette, with one doing an Irish looking Hebrew co- median and another in black face, all dressed as messenger boys, sing well enough together, and one of the boys was heard alone on two occasions. Lack of spirit and good comedy mars this act greatly. Their songs were ap- preciated, but the comedy flopped miserably. Summing It all up, the bill was a very entertaining one, and Jack Wilson and wife and their auto party enjoyed the best of it from a lower box, and made an exit for a napkin emporium immediately after.

Francis Dooley and Corlnne Saytes, io their dances, didoes and Jingles, seem to have a lease on spme of the New York houses, as they have been playing around town for many weeks. Their specialty Is alwayg a winner, the clever repartee coming la for much applause. "The Getaway," produced by the Frank Kccnan Players, was seen for the first time on Broadway. (See New Acts.) Harry Linton and Anita Lawrence, with songs, dancing and general merriment, cleaned up. The offering met with success from the start. Roth are linlshed artists la their lines and put on their material In a clever manner. The Five Armanis, an operatic quintette, presented a scenic musical festival entitled 'A Night la Naples," and were big favorites. The singing Is done by four of the members, the other playing oa several musical Instru- lts. All have excellent singing voices, NEMO. (W. S. DAKLOW, MOB.) . A good bill was offered by Manager Barlow for Aug. 7-10. Abe Frankel, tbe popular pianist, opened the bill with an overture of up-to-date melo- dies. Of course, one could tell that he was an "At. Von TUser" booster. Kay and Lee, a man and woman. In a singing and dancing act, do nicely. It would improve 'he act If the couple would do more dancing. Clothes hold a prominent place In this act. Jcre McAullffe and company, man and woman, in a sketch consisting of a little comedy and a UUlc pathos, pleased the audi- ence very much. Payne and Lee, man and woman singers and dancers, were nndoubtedly the hit of the bill. The BUllken dance by the young lady is deserving of special mention. She Is a neat and graceful dancer. Flossie La Vere Trio, two men and one woman, offer a real classy singing and dan- cing act. The boys in tbclr specialty, dressed as bell hong, do some very good stepping, and Miss La Vere certainly knows how to put g song over. The trio certainly wont over as (big as could be expected in a small house. Walter Brower, monologise, has a very good line of talk and a pleasing personality. Be did very nicely. Imperial Comedy Trio sang themselves into instant favor. The act Is a real good one. Tbe pictures were all op to standard. Pete. ■ '■ Academy- of Haste (Robert B. Irwin, ragr.)— mro is the attraction of the Acad- emy Stock Company this week. Victor Brown and Ethel Clifton, new leading mnn and woman, did capital work. Tbe cast In full: Hev.

Foarteeath Street (J. Wesley Rosen- quest, rngr.)—Vaudeville and motion pictures. Wekcr'gw^afotlOD pictures. mCniS. .... u«aw ULCIICUI QIU£lllg lUlCVH, and the different operatic selections rendered were big encore winners. Danny Simmons, the military hobo, pre- sented a new act. (Sec New Acts.) Matllde and Elvira, two beautiful Spanish dancers, gave different dances from their country and met with fair success. The cos- tuming and scenery were well chosen nnd the several songs well selected. They also give nn American song, which was easily the best thing thov offered. Barto and Clark, In "The Bellboy and the Lady," had very Uttle to complain at the applause handed them. The performance consists of singing and dancing, nnd goes through with snap and ginger. Both appear to better advantage as dancers, and should confine themselves more* to this line. Will nnd Kemp opened the show with their acrobatic stunts, nnd received many encores for their endeavors. One trick In particular that calls attention was the lifting of one member by the other with his feet while in a lying position on the floor. It was a re- markable bit of work and called for much applause. The Three Bartos had the closing position and held them seated until the finish of their excellent performance. Some of the tricks performed by this trio were the best ever seen here, nnd the large audience fully appre- ciated tbcm by their frequent applause. Jack. GREELEY SQUARE. (M. M. BL0C1I, MOR.) Usual good business prevailed Aug. 7. Lillian Bradley was well liked for her operatic selection, "It Takes a Little Rain with the Suushlne," for "My Hero," and finally for her duet with a versatile tnnle entertainer planted In a box. singing "Curly Head" to a number of encores. Anderson and Evans got their "If I fiver Get a Job" skit going good from the start, and the ballroom boy actors in hard luck showed up good to the finish, when the Job landed. Both boys filled the bill. Iiorcnz and Gallagher, the Iicadliners, came on with a lot of garbled French or Italian, in their "bum" make-up, and got them laughing. Johnny's acrobatic dancing, well backed up by Gallagher's footwork, also made n big hit. When he went to the piano Lorenz had everything his own way, and the double finish was one big punch. The Three Falcons, two straights and one comedian, on the flying rings, did all that possibly could be gotten out of the chains and rings, singly, doubly and triply, and went away well rewarded with applause. Sprnguc and McNeece, a handsome and smiling couple in natty white uniforms, were thoroughly at home on the skates, and waltzed and two-stepped In perfect time. The lady clogged. Jigged and bucked. Then the young man returned with skates oa stilts about a half a yard high, and put them through their paces. Together they then did tbe turkey trot, Texas Tommy and tango dances, to a successful finish. The Apollo Quartette, two ladles and two men, with the soprano lady doing the piano work, made a big bit Their operatic quar- tette son;, as well as the popular numbers, were nicely put over. "The Rosary" selec- tion was a gem. The pianist also warbled nn operatic solo, with her own masterly ac- companiment, and all was well to many re- calls. The Dancing Man, a girl, a boy and a woman, did nil sorts of fancy dancing, an Oriental dream dance, and tbe latest assort- ment of society dances, ending with a grace- ful waltz by the three, in one. "The Stick-Dp Mnn," a Bketch. which al- ways creates a good Impression, was ngnln seen to advantage, with Hogan, the Irish policeman, well played. The little sister and mother, the Stick-Up Man out for the kid- dles' Christmas things, and his magnanimous victim all did good work. The pictures nicely punctuated each two acts. -»"«• a ' Madison Sana re Roof Garden,—This week's entertainers are: Edith Barton, bal- lads ; Stella Ford, operatic soprano; May Raymond, character songs: Mabel Bcntloy, ragtime selections; Belle Daniels, coon shooter; Ray Dean and Florence Bond, Jus- tin D'Laury, Clark Lincoln, and Dan Gray.

UNION SQUARE. (I. F. BOOr.RS, MOB.) A revival of Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera, "Pinafore," by a company of kiddles, Is given tlrst place ncre on this week's pro- gram. It Is astonishing how cleverly they act; and also speak their lines, and their confi- dence In their ability Is often amusing. The company numbers twenty, and their efforts pleased the Monday audiences might- ily. The opera has been correctly costumed, and great credit Is due Messrs. Rex A Car- penter for an excellent production. Tbe prin- cipals were all equally clever In tholr respec- tive roles. The cast: Rt Hon, Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. It., Master Nelson Cant.

AMERICAN ROOF, (CHARLES POTSDAM, MOB.) Things around this theatre looked bright nnd cheerful and everybody seemed unusually liuppy Aug. 11; reason—Manager PotgraJra is back from bis 'vacation. J. Edwin LlebmuD. the genial orclcstra. leader, opened the bill with a very lively overture. The Illustrated song, "Peg o' My Heart, 1 * wns very well received! Miller Bros, offer a sensational gymnastic and liaud balancing act, and both of these men are very good and have a pleasing man- ner. They went over big. Granville and Mack, man and woman, got over nicely. The Young American Quintette, In a sing- ing nnd talking skit, did very nicely, bur the Jew character lu the act repeated his comedy stuff too often. Ell Dawson, blnck fnee comedian, took the honors for the first hnlf of till* bjl, his stories and songs were .ill up to (he nilnutn, and the audience wanted him to stay longer. Marguerite? Why ihls very rrcdlocro comedienne wns "liondllrrlitcd" outside Mon- day evening Is a mystery. She pulls what she thinks Is Bddlc Foy, ICIfle Fa7 and Eva Tanguay stuff, but her best bit wns mak- ing her change of costumes. Rag nnd Classic Duo, two men, offered.a very refined act on the harp and violin, and the audience wanted more, but fie boys would not take any -jncores, even though their reception was big. Junes Devlin and Mae Hltwond, In their comedy skit, "The Girl from Yonteis re- ceived a big hand on thejf entrance. They worked very hard, and irrride a d'-cided hit Billy K. Wells, the Hebrew politician, did very nicely, only once in a while he forgot he was doing Hebrew and did a little Dutch and straight Uls act consists of slorlej and song. Aara-Carmen Trio, two women and one man, In hoop rolling and baton Juggling that Is right up to the minute. The act tit neatly put together, and the women have pretty faces and figures. Pete.

Lnasraere (Frank Hopkins, bus, mgr.)— The Sllrer Wcilding a comedy in three acts by Kdwnrd Locke. Produced by H. II. Franco on Monday ovenlng, Aug. 11, with this cast: I.udwlg Knottier Thomas A. Wtno Ottomar Kloti Frank McCormack Jnan Jaclnta Oulnlo Socola Karl Rehbein Carl Hcmmnn George Hckbnrt.... ....Calvin Thomns Hclmle Schmidt David Ross Hang Wetghart Gerhardt Jnspcrson Krau Koehlrr Alice Galo Martha Koehlor Ceclle Breton Lucy Rohbeln Kdna Tcmplo Margaret Rehbein Violet Mooro Frieda Hachradt Lillian Koss . Edward [jocke, who wrote "The Climax" nnd "The Case of Becky." showed us his lntest work, "The 8llver Wedding." on Mon- day night. It Is a curious play. Treated as a farce, it Is exceedingly funnv, tor tbe "Pennsylvania Dutch" spoken by most of the characters, created much laugbter. but considered solely as a play. It la scarcely up to the Rroaawny standard. It Is so full of gushing sentiment that It becomes bore- some. Simply because the father thinks his gon-ln-law-to-b«. called him "a pig-headed Dutchman," he refuses point blank to attend tbe wedding of his only daughter, as her 'father, but conacnta to be present nn the icuricr of the band that has been engaged to play the music. Tbe play has nn unconvinc- ing tlu me, but the laugh* may carry It aloug on the road. Thomas A. Wise Is featured In the pro- ducton. Uls Is a sort of Sam Bomnrd role. He plays tho part of I.udwlg Koehlor, tho saddle maker In Lautcrbach, a small com- munity In Western Pennsylvania. His daugh- ter Is betrothed to tho young village drug clerk nnd asks her fathor to agree that they should be married at once, to cnnblo nor to accompany the young man to Now York, wbere he Is to enter tho employ of s largo firm. Ludwlg overbears the prospective son- in-law refer to a "pig-headed old Dutchman," and, believing tho reference is to him, re- fuses his consent to the wedding. Then he proceeds to become what be thought the young mnn called him. Despite the fact that he occasionally for- got his Dutch accent. Mr. Wise scored a per- sonal success in the role. Although ho tried hard to be "pig-hended," he could not entire- ly hide his own lovable personality. He litis s love Hceno with his wife (Alice (isle) Iu>. the last act, In which they celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding, which was very touching. Most of the com- edy wns also provided by Mr. Wise. The role of the wife was charmingly plnyeil by Alice CJale. who la a character actress of marked ability. Oulnlo Socola, who. as his name guggcHts. is an Italian, played ton role of a sentlnienttl barber without throwing himself Into hy- sterics every time he was called upon to sty something of a sentimental nature, which fact stamps him ns nn excellent actor. Lillian Ross mndo the very small role of a little house servant stand out with much prominence. The rest of the company played their ml -s In an excellent manner, and the state Man. ageinctit nnd production was of a high order. This, by the way, Is the season's first dra- matic production.
