Pathiotic veek at the (Harris Tbentre, lost ueek, was a t)lg succrss, and - mach credit is due W. A. Wyman, the popular' press rppresentatlTo, for Ills untlrlDg efforts to make It a banner week. Manocer C. R. Buebelt and bis able assistant, Oave SmlUi. were very busy bandllne the usunl capacity audiences, and a very entertalnlnic bill of blgn class acts was presentedi, and met with, the popular approval of all. Amonq those who spilled good nature at the Harris, was Jack Prince, who mlebt be termcil OS fonr and one-holf feet of good TaDsbs, and ha wac well deservlDK of the reception accorded him. He had many new and catcby stories, as well as an abnndance of real comic sones. which were well delivered, and he proved to be one of the real lilts of an excellent bill. Lb Rot and C^iu., those classy entertainers. In a series of clever songs and catchv patter, were one of the bright spots, and never fall6d to draw from three to seven encores. SIny Cablll, who Is one of the prettiest and shapelfcst women seen here (or some time, brimful of personality, makes you hold your seat all the while she Is before you, rind she proved decidedly popular, making many friends during the week. Her costumes, which were real Paris creations, wore good to look npon, 1>nt onlT took !>econd honors to May herself. Ur. I.e Roy^s ainittng of ".My Bird of Paradise" took the house by storm. A'special drop Is carried. CAnniG NiOKL and the Fen Alwyn Girls, in a email sketch entitled "The Hall Room Glrls,'^ were fairly well rvcelved. The girls are all very oopn- Inr and exceptionally pleasant people, and, nn a. nngccatlon. It Is believed that If t>ie Fen Alwyn Slaters. Dot and Ruth, were to Inject a certain nmouBt of daintiness Into their work, ratber than draw along on over^exageerated nffectlveness, it wonld be to the benefit of the act. AH are hard workers, but some parts are slightly overdrawn. "Little Miss C S. K." which was the head- liner of a bill of neutral acts especially engaged for Patriotic Week, wcs very well received and, nslde from a terrible line of wardrobe, could easily bp considered as one of the best tab acts seen here tills season. Tho comedian part Is very capably handled by Robert Mllllkln. while the work of Hudson Precbnm would be hard to Improve upon. Little Vera Burt, sweet and demure, sang the ■ leading feminine role In a pleasing manner. The v«onBa and comedv are good, while the work of the *lrl9 Is aatlsfactoty. but the -dressing Is nnslgbtly LrmJ! VESA BunT. of the-"Little Miss U. a a.'* company, was working nearly all .of last week under great dlOlcolty, anfTerlns terribly for three days with an ulcerated tooth, but "she .plncklly stnck to "her knitting." and on Thursday had' the objective nnlar removpd and. despite a .ollght swelling in the left taw. she wore her ever pleas:int ■mile for the hale nee of the week. Conru and Obinpell proved to be oife of the aaost popnlar teams of the season. Clever dancing and singing numbers. Into which was Injected a certain amount of "nutty" eccentricity, took the Itouse by storm, and (hey never failed to get a goodly share of applause. The week for them was a bright soccess. Watts and Lucas, two -very clever dancers, entertained with all styles of dancing, doing many Intricate steps. Mr. Watts proved to be very adept at the old time dog, while Miss Lucas did some rare contortion work. The absolving of the sing- ing would greatly Improve the act, as the dancing could not be Improved upon. Wux MOBBIB, with his funny little "springy" hat, and >l9 dilapidated "bike," kept them scream- ing from start to finish. Morris also docs some ex- ceptionally clever tricks, and was warmly received at air times. Evelyn Wabe, the "sunshlna comedienne," vrho Is visiting her sister in this city, must be very busy these days, as she has not been seen for eever.ll weeks. When last heard of she was busy making some -very handsome wardrobe, and fully expects to go dut next season with one of the past season's Broadway successes. She has worked liard and Is deserving of the best. Wendeli. Obth, popular stage manager: Cecil Itoyle, the ever smiling electrician; Eddie Mc- Afee and Slim Burke, the bnsy property boys.j and Pave Smith, obliging superintendent, all . had the "picter" taken last week, and are now await- ing the final developments to «ce how they turned out. All the boys had on their working clothes, but wore their "Sunday" smiles. Several of the glrla got In other snaps. Nick Wood, clever Enellsli comedian, now lo- cated In this city, did a little extra act last week, alternating vlth Eddie McAfee In doing "falla" tit the box, during the Juggling art of the Ocavos. which proved to be one of the best Juggling acts of the season. Both the mon and woman are adept in the handllntr of various things, and were a pro- noanced bit McAfee and Woods always got a bi^ langh. The Nixon, which has been running pictures elnce the close of the regular season, eight we<>ks ago. has now clo^. and will -undergo a complete and thorough renovation, so as to be in readiness for the opening of the lPl!>-19ie season, wh.di will l>e abont the last week In August. The Hippoddomc, under the able management of Messrs;. Harry Davis and John P.

The Andenfon and Colonial Hotels, in this city, ore the real places for performers, as both -thcxc Iiostclries know bow to treat you right. The .\nderson has a very capable corps of clerks, while at the Colonial. Chief Clerk Rlggs and an efficient squad of assistants are ever obliging. EnoiF. McAfee made a great hit wltli "all tbe girls" last week, as he had several large bunches of flowers which were evenly divided. Gee, It must be nice to have a brother who is a florist. 4 « » PALACE ACDIBNCGS THIBSTT.
