And what a welcome awaited the appear- ance of those old time favorites, James and 1'ounle Thornton.

"Young" James In- dulged in some of bis well known and equally well liked patter. Bonnie sang two of Thornton's latest songs, entitled "In the Same Old Place" and •'Nosey Rosy." She also gave "Annie Ronney," and they closed with a selection of Thornton's old time bal- lad successes.

The sketch Is a very novel and orig- inal one. and the characters well portrayed by both principals. Miss Usher's work as a kid was very artistic, as was also that of Mr. Usher as a man about town. They met with the best of success. As fun-makers, Smith, Cook and Brandon need to take off tbelr hats to no one. Their singing and dancing specialty, Introducing some clever toe dancing by tbe female mem- ber, was heartily enjoyed. Several bits of travesty were also introduced successfully by them. The men are natural comedians and have ft fine line of material that they put over in good shape. Bird Mlllman and her company, after a successful season in the circus branch, made her initial vaudeville appearance this season nere, and met with her usual success.

During :he night, when all have gone to bed, Ernest is ttruckvdown and robbed of the gem. But the old lawyer makes use of his great ex- perience as a criminal lawyer, his old nge and feebleness, and recovers the Jewel nnd exposes the thief, who, aa the reader may guess, was Mr. Jarvls.

Leonard and Whitney, as Duffy and the Mrs., put over a great many laughs, by the way. in which the newly rich laborer treated the foibles of society, which Mrs. Duffy wanted to affect. "The Christmas Carol" was well liked, tho part of Scrooge as well as the other charac- ters being well taken, "You Have Your Mother's Big Blue Eyes" was tbe Illustrated song offering, and an In- teresting series of pictures, Including the two reel feature, "The Grean-Byed Monster," were shown. JfW. LOEW'S SEVENTH AVENUE. (J. II. LUBIN, MOB.) The usual good bill was shown here Nov. 20. The theatre was filled to capacity, and Maimger "Jake" offered a very good bill to htt< patrons. Grnccy. was how a single man musical act billed himself. He offers a few novel- ties, and his playing on electric lamps was well received. The Dancing Kennedys, man and woman, do an exceptionally good dancing turn: in fact, they can be classed as among the best dancers In their style of work. Tho act went over big. Big, good-natured Frank Morrell bad his audience with him from tho start with his bright and snappy stories and his excep- tionally good singing. Frank was a hit. Harry Ilorton and company, two men and one woman, in a semi-dramatic sketch, re- ceived a nice reception uptown. Grace Leonard, malo Impersonator, la very clever. She makes a flue little "man," and knows Juat how to put a song over. Her little drunken bit was very well done.

The donkey bit to finish did well for "best" laughs. Freeman and Carr, straight and tad come- dians. Tho boys have an aged act that gets over through the comedian's efforts. He aroused the audience often, but would sit them up etralguter with, live material. The straight looks well, but appears stagey. Toots Paka, with a special set and her Hawaiian male quartette of musicians and singers, followed and cleaned up a big hit. Toots, accompanied by the usual fine melody, picked from stringed instruments by the Four Hawallann, Hula I Hula I danced until the house was in an uproar over "every little movement" of this bronce colored) fe- male wriggler. The finish, however, whero one of the musicians makes an effort to 'plant" the instrument across part of Toots' Miller and Lyle, black face comedians, really got the show started. These fellows spilled an earful of rapid-fire "nigger" talk that appealed to the bunch out front. They closed with a comedy boxing, dancing stunt that also registered a hearty laugh. Gertrude Vanderbilt and George Moore, in a series of songs and dances, did quite well. Eddie Foy and the Seven Little Foys kept right on cleaning up. These bright-faced Kttle boys and girls, with their talented father, presented a neat offering. Edward Abeles, supported by Charlotte Lander, offered a dramatic comedy en- titled "He Tried to Be Nice." It shows how a husband tries to be nice to his wife, but she is suspicious, and finally he gets mad and leaves for the club. Rather an Interesting sketch, that was liked.
