Her brother learns of the man's faith- lessness during one of his visits, and after a heated argument, kills him. Mr. Edeeon, aa tbe brother, gave bis usual excellent i>erformance, portraying hla character with much force. Jane Haven, as his sister, plsyed a rather difficult role to the satisfaction of her audience, Tho others were well cast, Sock. a Gobert Dclllng (Animal Act). 18 Ml*.. rOM. ■TAOS, Palace.—Making his orjt appearance Id New York, Gobert Belling, assisted by hJs four-lsggcd cmnedlsiui (donkeys and dogs) captured a fair amount of success. The act "insists mostly of comedy none by Telling, In the makeup of s clown. He offers verr little new outside of a burlesque fall tight, which he does cleverly, getting much comedy oat of It.

The larger slater possesses the best voice snd does a siwclal song and dance numler In fllmy nuuigled write dress. The other uses "Little Ford llnmbled Bight Along" to fair results. Snow's "solo" Is an Imitation of a "cullurl preechor." Less Jumping about the stage and his "parrlng" of tho table would set him more.
