Learned TENTH SEASON Heuck & Fennessy Attractions with the same collection of material that he submitted upon the occasion of his last visit. Hunts Oilman, a youthful soubrette, possessing a fair voice and a pleasing personality, was awarded a favorable bearing, although her forced demeanor of "chlcness" seemed inappropriate for one of her years. She should be heard from In the future. Under the heading, "The Rube and the Bachelor Maid." William Deery and Ollie Francis offer a sketch almost identical with the one formerly used by Mr. and Mrs. Jimmle Harry. The man uses Barry as a pattern for hi* make-up and employe the Barry songs "Run Away" and "Sklddo." Unless the Barrys have disposed of their rights the act is a deliberate steal. Rome and Ferguson submitted an act differing somewhat from the one recently offered by them on the Western Statea time, Miss Ferguson cutting her singing and dancing num- ber In favor of an acrobatic bit. David Perkins and Henry Lappin in a one act satire on the problem drama was the weightiest thing on the bill. The sketch drags considerably In its earlier stages, but the. action qulcke.ir as the playlet proceeds and an un looked for denouement lends a splendid finish. Taken as a whole the act rnnked well. Robinson and Grant, midget com- fiiiini-. handed out a batch of material that from length of service should bead the pension list. Our old friend, the dough pan, loomed up PASTOR'S 14th St.. Sd Aw.

Alpolut showed at the opposition house around the corner with an act of the same sort better bandied. Fyvle Drench rendered some pleasing numbers in a fair contralto voice, and Harrold Hoff sang the Illus- trated ballads. WIGWAM (Sam Harris, mgr.).—Week 26: The Watson company found In this Soutbside audience a most responsive gathering and not a line of the slangy dialogue "got past." Lew Simmons and Lew Pistel msde up another comedy number that stood In well. "That" Quartet In their farewell week still retained their strong hold. Best and Benton proved a singing and dancing team of good grade. The man balancing on his hands Joins his partner in a verse and chorus, practically upside down song offering. The Three Kobers on the trapeze and rings were well up in their Hue of work, as was also Kelter on the bounding wire. Juggling Moss followed the usual routine. EMPIRE (Hal Curtis, res. mgr.).—Week 26: The Spray Sisters were the opening number. The act hears the London Imprint. Clever In their studied footwork the girls showed good taste In dressing and were well thought of. J. Gafney Brown lacked the requisite vim to carry off the Impersonation of George M. Cohan which he at tempted. His bit with the cigarette was good When answering advertisements kindly mention Variety.
