WOODS Can use sister acts and sketch tern ma for next and others. There are several novelties out of the ordinary, principal of which la "The West Point Cadets," a clog drill, which was splendidly exe- cuted.

Fenuessy, uigr.).—"The Dreamland Burlesquers" opened their season in a musical burlesque by Dave Marlun entitled "Rose- "i stupid work at the close of the show is a laud." The performance la oue of the best glvm at this house In years, and excepting for a bit highly enoyable performance Dave Marlon and Harry Fox, assisted by twin sisters Melnotte. Iiave two star acts which scored strongly. Harry Fox as Oscar Flrestein falls, probably because of unfamlliarlty with the character he burlesques. William Lawrence was not particularly strong as a Hebrew comedian, but makes fairly good. Fred Barnes, Mark Thompson, George Dorsey, George H. Pearce, J. J. Doherty. Ike Wall, Aggie Behler, Pearl Melnotte, Cora Melnotte and Adelaide Eell have parts for which they are well fitted. < ("HESTER PARK (I. M.
