The entertainment which the management Intends to offer will be different from any other seen in New York. The honse has been entirely reno- vated, and a bar, well stocked, has been in- stalled In the rear of the second balcony, which can be reached by two elevators. A large box office has been built la the lobby, to there will be no confusion in buying seats. All of the door men, carriage callers and the women ushers wear handsome uni- forms of a neat pattern. , There Is but the slightest thread of a plot to "A Glimpse of the Great White Way," which really serves to Introduce the novelties —for the entertainment is full of them. The scene is a large cafe (a pretty set. by the way), and two Encash Johnnies are seeing the town, guided by a woman. The various performers then give a cabaret show and the fulde then says at its conclusion, to the obnnles: "Next we will see that great sen- sation, 'The Spider.'"

Wllkle Bard held over and was again the headllner at the corner this week, and de- servedly so. In fact, there was no close second. He opened with the "Chrysanthe- mnm" song and duplicated his last week's success. "Tbe Wriggly Bag" was his second num- ber, it is catcby. "Tbe Night Watchman" was sprung on New Yorkers for the first time on Monday afternoon. The stage is set to show a street scene with the watchman's hut. In the back- ground are tumble-down shacks. The rime la night Bard opens with a song, then recites a comic poem. A dmnk on his way home from a masquerade comes along and stops to talk. Followed soon by a pretty actress. The wiles used by the watchman to Induce the voung woman to enter his hut and sing to h'lm are indeed amuBlng.

Julia Curtis rendered a song in fonr volees and then gave Impersonations of Anna Held, Eddie Foy, Eva Tangnay, Geo. M. Cohan and Trentlnl. Clara Inge's first two songs did not make tbe desiredlmpression, but the third number, in which Miss Inge appears as a boy in over- alls and tells a story of a boy and a big bear, was eapltrdly done.

The Monday audience, while not a capacity one, thoroughly enjoyed the bill ond gave enough applause for a crowd twice Its sire. Out of a total of ten acts, six are new to New York, and with bnt one excep- tion will stay In vaudeville for some time. Paul Morton and Naomi Glass, who were recently seen at an uptown house, duplicated the success that greeted them there. Both are capable Blngers and dancers, and offer an interesting specialty that teems with reflne- ment. Their act la handsomely staged and they make several changes of costume. The Avon iComedy Four showed that they have lost Tione of their popularity. "The New Teacher," which they have used for some time," Is enjoyable from start to finish, and is always kept up-to-date with new delight to listen to this clever young actress read those poetic lines. Ernest Glendennlng, as Pierrot, was as agreeable surprise, for his performance re- vealed talents which we have never sus- pected. It was by far the most ambitions role that this young actor has played, and he acted It with brilliancy. .He gave It tbe romantic touch, the poetical appeal that it demanded. It was a great night for Mr. Glendennlng, and he deserved all of tbe applause Riven blm. • „ . Leslie Palmer had a difficult role. Not that his lines were many, but he had to stand as the statue.
