IV Rowland. nifiT.)—-Harry Lauder began, Monday afternoon, Jan. 5, his sixth annual American tour of ten weeks, under William Morris' management. His en- gagement Is for this week only, and daily matlnrcB will be given. His American tour will terminate In Fan Francisco, from which point be will sail for Australia. The company Includes: Alfred Latell and Elsie Vokes Is a well known act here, and they aro funmakers. Mr. Latell, as a bull- dog, furnished several hearty laughs. Sebastian and Allen, the tango dancers, are exponents of the present dancing erase. Jack Ark. In a unlquo dlabolo exhibition, got over nicely. lie manages to make a vaudeville act out of a game played by the children of France. He also does several stunts with the spools. Mr. Ark is a Spaniard, very tall, and he works rapidly. About ten minutes, full stage. Ethel Bownle, a contralto, came from Lon- don, but proved to be a dlnnppolntment. Another English importation was Mona Ctarrlck. She gave a series of dramatic Im- personations that fell very ni scenes from melodramas sbce been forgotten by elderly playgoers, Irene Berescny, billed as a Hungarian Gypsy Clmballist, proved to be 1 an excellent cr.istclaD. B. Yoska played the violin In a costume that was a combination of Romeo and a Hungarian officer. Roth lack per- sonality. 'Brno Rupee, a pianist, gave evi- dence of talent, bat the act cannot bo classed ss an act suitable for vaudeville. It Ih really a waste of words to say that Harry Lauder was a success, *nd the ap- plause bestowed upon aim at the conclusion of his act (which lasted more than an boar) was generous and sincere. His songs this season are In many respects toe best he has had In several seasons. One of them In par- ticular la a "hummer." It Is called 'It's Nice to Get Up In the Morning. But Nicer to Ue In Bed," and to hear the great comedian stag It was a positive delight Another eoog cure to achieve popularity with the public Is "A Wee Deoch and Doris." Between the verses of each song Louder delivers lines that sparkle with real humor. Ho wns compelled. of course, to repent many of his former song successes. Not oi.ly Is Lander a great artist, he Is also a wonder at make-up. Only his voice betrays him. Ho carries a drop for every song. Lauder like Christmas, cornea but once a year, and la Jim as welcome. He stands alone as a comedian. Do not ecIbs him. for is the Bard of Avon said of Marc Antony: "We may never look upon his .'ike again." Next week, "High Jinks" moves here from the Lyric.

Anna Ueld's daughter, as- sisted by Bobby Watson, was one of the features, end maintained her position, in a meritorious manner. Miss Carrera Is a pocket edition of her mother. Mr. Watson Is a clever dancer, and offered several steps that brought him several encores. Foster 'Ball and Ford West, in their capa- ble offering, "The Days of fll," duplicated the success that has attended tliclr effort at each house In which they have appeared.

A foreign importation In the person of Nell Kenyon, In a series of Scotch chn meter studies, accompanied by a fine vocal nblilty, has been selected to head this week's bill. TMi was Mr. Kenyon's first appearance In America, and the cordiality which a foreign artist is sure to receive from an American audience was manifested when Mr. Keu.von made bis first bow.
