The Michelsohn Brothers will appear in the near future at the Chutes direct from Proctor's Theatre, New York. Elaine Forrest, the charming singer, is one of the most popular performers at the Savoy, Victoria. Manager J. A. Johnson has a fine place of amusement in the Lyceum, Victoria. He is playing some fine attractions. Adgie is playing the Lyceum, Victoria, to increased prices of admission. During her engagement the prices of admission are raised to 25 and 50 cents. Gertie Getcbell made her first appearance at the Thalia this week and scored a hit. She received many floral pieces on the opening night. Ethel Lynwood, the wonderful contortionist, is meeting with great success in Victoria at the Lyceum. She has been for the past three months in the North, meeting with exceptional success everywhere. The Savoy Theatre, Victoria and Vancouver, Messrs. O'Brien and Johnson, proprietors, are giving the people of these two cities a series of exceptionally fine shows, and are meeting with huge success. They present the best of vaudeville talent each week. Here's quite a record : Carlton and Royce have been playing consecutively at the Olympia for 53 weeks, not having missed a single performance in all that time. Very few performers can boast of such great popularity. Frank Kent, a snake charmer, while exhibiting a pet rattler to an admiring crowd at the Chutes Sunday, was severely bitten in the left hand by the reptile. He at once visited the Receiving Hospital, where the wound was cauterized and attended to. Geo. H. Wilson is one of the drawing cards at the Savoy, Victoria. Kate Rockwell has captured the Savoy, Victoria, patrons with her clever work. Lillian Walther, one of the most beautiful women on the vaudeville stage, has made a wonderful success with her singing at the Savoy, Victoria. Lolita Mather, billed as the California song bird, is spoken of unanimously by those who have heard her at the Savoy, Victoria, as being very, very fine. Jackson Heard writes The Review from Hilo, where he is detained in quarantine, that he would like to explain to his professional friends through The Review that he did not leave Austrrlia broke, with the break-up of the McAdoo minstrels, but had money to burn, and furthermore he is not a negro, but a Creole. Mr. Heard will soon be in Frisco. Baby Ruth Roland, the talented child performer, is meeting with a continued ovation in the East. Last week she played at the Grand Opera House, Nashville, and the Bayincr of that city says of her performance : ' 'The vaudeville bill contains one gem, and two respectable specialties. Baby Ruth is a wonder. She is very refined and delicate in her songs and dances, and is worth going miles to see. Little Ruth deserves special mention. Mile. Yvette Guilbert narrowly escaped being burned alive while asleep in an invalid's chair in Paris the other day. The curtain of her apartment in the Avenue de Villiers caught fire. Choked with smoke, she awakened and called for help, being unable to walk alone, as she is only now recovering from the effects of the recent operation for the extirpation of her right kidney. Alarmed by the cries, her attendants rushed in and removed her to a place of safety, after which the fire was extinguished.
