Paulle and Heeley, a clever dancing duo, added to the variety of the program. The O'Brien Troupe of acrobats were the closing fea- ture, ranJting well. E.MPIKE (Hal Curtis. mgr.>.—Week 9: The Lyle-Munro Company, with their cartoon comedy, "A Mutt." was the featured attraction, and proved a big drawing card. The Oolden Gate Quintet, a colored aggregation, proved themselves entertainers of a good standard. Daly and O'Briea, comedy sketch artists, scored success- fully in "one." A. Spera and Company offered the racing playlet, "Jockey Jones." GLOBR (Sid Granman, mgr.).—Week 9: Cockey CBrieo, a well-known character about town, was given prominence In the billing. Mlddleton's Mili- tary Quartet, Tracy and Carter, Glenroy and Russell, The Nellofl, and Basse and Manette con- stituted the olio. The Jack Mathews Company, in a lively farce, completed the program.

Katheryn has the looks and car> riage, singing above the average, and her fresh appearance is a valuable adjunct. Violet is an energetic young woman, the Eva Tanguay of burlesque, never quiet, even when she should be standing still. Naturally she is a lively soubrette, and a good one, without any marked qualities in her singing voice. Grace Patton has not an overimportant part, while there is a character of a S'paniard, badly placed and badly handled by Grover Schepp. : . •; The costuming is decidedly tasteful in several of the numbers, and the burlesque managers might take "The Rollickers** for a model. It is what a burlesque show should be. Sime. Are You Going to Europe? CORRECTION. The report from San Francisco In VARIETY. February 29. 1908. for the National Theatre. week February 17, commented on The Eddy Family. Mr. Wll8on. VARIETY'S San Francisco representative, has requested that his re- port on the act, which became transposed in the printing, be again published in Jus- tice to the act. Mr. Wilson's copy read: "The Eddv Family, wire act, were last on the program and first In the public's estimate, excelling anything in wire work ever shown In this territory. Two youngsters, a boy and girl, crown the net. The mHs offers a sensa- tional routine, with lightning rapidity. The boy*8 full flip-flop on the wire still re- mains the star trick." BOSTON By ERNEST L. WAITT. VARIETY Office, Colonial Building. KEITH'S (H. D. Dupee, mgr.).—Jessie Mill- ward, headlined in "A Queen's Messenger." While the sketch Is strong and interesting. It does not seem to give Miss Millward enough op- portunity. Albert Whelan made his first appear- ance here, Juni|>ing Into popularity Instantly. He combined whistling and singing, and got great applause. John Hyams and I^MIa Mclntyre are immensely popular here, their home. Lew Sully has some new patter, and Terley, Impersonator, does some clean cut work that people seem to like. Rossi's musical horse, "Emir," Is a won- der. The OllvottI Troubadours have a very high class musical act. and J, Warren Kean puts up extra good slelght-of-hand work that really Inter- ests people. Bertha Waltainper has some new songs, the "Honey Boy" In German going espe- cially well. Bedford and Winchester. Jestlve Jug- glers, offer a very lively, amusing and Interesting stunt. Tony and Erna Balliott. gymnasts; The Berkes, Josephine Pavis and Hice Brothers com- plete the bill. ORrilEUM (S. A. Mowry. mgr.).—With Wm. Courtleigh and "reaches" on the bill, and Mr. O'Connor playing "BUT," this act easily jumped far ahead of everything else except Frank Fog- arty, who made the most of St. Patrick's week here. Wynn and Lewis do their entertaining chatter well. The boy with the hat gets better every time he comes to Boston. W. S. Harvey, heavy weight Juggler, brings out the "Ohs" and "Ahs" and the applause. Sterling and Revell on the horizontal bars get In more comedy than do most teams. The "Four Girls" hiivc rather a novel act, and the Elite Musical Four \*]»y on various Instrumejits. Jewell's Manikins close the show. An aerial ballet Is a new feature In this act. HOWARD (Jay Hunt. mgr.>.- Frances Bishop. May Belle and May (V.r« y head the female bunch In "The New Century Girls," in which the music is a big feature. Eddie West, of the comedy staff, is a Boston boy. l.e Roy and La Vannon. on the bars; Lee Tung Foo, Chinese baritone; Hodges and Launchmere and Mile. Bertlna and Florence Brockway were high carda In the vaode- MOONLIGHT MAIDS. (Continued from page 17.) selections. The **eight dancing girls," backing up Mile. Bartoletti, cannot dance, which is a pity since the Mile, can—on her toes—but she has no chance with the bunch of females around her, nor the cos- tumes they wear. The good acrobatics of Ali and Peyser do more for the olio than the remainder bunched. Sime, vllle section, wlilrh Included also Carroll and Doyle. Stelnert and Thomas. Sliayne and King, Fields and Mason and Tony Mack. LYCEUM (G. H. Bachelor, mgr.).—The "Bach- elor Club Olrls," headed by Margaret Ryan and Mile. Alda, drew good business. The women do a fine drill act In the opening burlesque. The Juggling .Henninjts_ are In_tlje olio, and_the girls niake gtKMl as bronEe statues. The Gotfiam Com-" edy Four and the Six Lancashire Lasses, with Florrle Burns, champion woman wrestler, in ■ comedy act with Tom Coyne, complete the olio. PALACE (C. H. Waldron. mgr.).—Sam Scrlb- ner's "Big Show" Is back. It Is a ))retty good show. Bowen and Una, Colton and Darrow, The Yalta Duo; Falardo. the Instrumental man; The Hodges and Tom Robinson are In the olio. The Palace's own bill Inchides Price and Steele, Prof. Dodd and his talking dog, St. Claire Brothers on the bars; DIette and Morin, comedy acrobats, and the Angers, singing and dancing on foUer air nf {k{^, COLUMBIA (H. N. Farren. mgr.).—It takes a mighty good show to equal "Wine, Woman and Song," t»ut "Tlie Rolllckers" Is pretty close to the mark. It is mtisically bright, full of fun, and has smne unusually i)retty girls. Ed. Mor- ton, coon shouter; Will Cohan and Joe Watson, Violet Pearl and Grace Patton and Eddie Barto hold up the comedy end and the olio. Manager Farren now runs two amateur nights each week, iM-slde a wrestling night. AUSTIN & STONE'S (A. B. White, mgr.).— All the features are new.
