MYERS, 140S Broadway, New YorK City- instrumental music wss well liked. Melanl Miller, in her first appearance in vaudeville here, made good. She has been identified with the concert tttsge In New York. She baa a strong, musical voice, well trained, and sings with expression, winning liberal favor for each of her three num- tiers. Williams and Miller did nicely with sing- ing and tnlklng, the parodies 1*1 ng warmly re- ceived. The atrslght man got through In good shape with a ballad and a good voice. Kennedy Brothers nlw> offered singing and dancing In blackface, a couple of songs giving them a good hi art and the dancing carrying them through for s finish. Amanda Gilbert snd Thomas Huston divided honors, both singing with Illustration*. Onweld Le Grande pleased with his billiard ball Mild card manipulation*. The Aldlnes went through h routine of liead and hand balancing feats with sat Isfactory results, and the Shelly Trio revolved their usual reward for their familiar singing and dancing turn. The pictures reached the usual nverage. UNIQUE IR. J. Barry, mgr.; agent. \V. S. Cleveland).-There was another entertaining bill here thin week with the honors pretty well dis- tributed. Wilson and Klch got away with the big laughing hit In their blackface specialty. These hoys handle nil their material In good shape, getting the most of the points. Rivers and La Mon replaced an act which disappointed, and made good from the start. Both are good dancers and showed a varied style of stepping, which pleased. Tue girl Is good to look st snd did some pretty toe dancing. Charles F. Leonard wss also a substituted number. He is a monologlst and has dug deep for some of his "gags," but it was a esse of the old ones never falling, and they pulled I>eonard through In good shape. Lawrence and Co. offered a military sketch, consisting prin- cipally of bugle calls used in various countries with appropriate costuming. The man Is one of the hesl buglers heard along this way. The "company" Includes a woman who poses as a i.urse, and "Props" Bradley, of the house stsff, who tried to look wounded when the nurse forced water down his throat. The act was a big hit. A better set of slides woofil help it a lot. The little air) in the Hill Edmunds Co. sketch almost saved the week vehicle. She got the big share •if the applar.se for a s».ng and then helped out In the dancing at the finish. There Is not much tn the rest. Alice I.a Rue -not billed as a prima donna this time-—did nicely with a straight sing- ing 1 turn. May Pc Ponta saved her best stuff for the finish of her art, Introducing a well trained 1 log, which got her some reward at the close. The (iolulow Family, a Russian troupe of four, sang and tin need with fairly good results. The small stage was a handicap. Individual honors were taken by the smallest girl of the act. There was the usual supply of pictures. ST. LOUIS By FRANK ANFEVGER. DhLMAR (D. Russell, mgr.).—Frank Moulan. In "The Ameer," finds an acceptable part In what was one of Frank Daniels' lesser hits of some years ago. The feature of the week Is the suc- cess of Carl Oantvoort's successor, William Stew- art, a baritone. He has a fine chance. Ann Taa- ker and Dorothy Webb, prima donna and soubret of the stock organisation, are prominent In Moulan's support. Moulan easily gets more out of the part than did Daniels. FOREST PARK HIGHLANDS (J. I). Tlppetts, mgr.).—Keno and Lynn and Jewell's Manikins are the most popular numbers. The team were In "School Days." Vera Berliner, violin virtuoso: the Marvelous Hiltons, cyclists; Fred Oilman, dla* lect monologist, and Lucille Albertl, singing with Cavallo's Band, complete the week's array. WKST END HEIGHTS (Oppenhelmer Bros., mgrs.).— Harry Walters and Co., In "Jimmy, the Tout," Is the beadllner. It Is a pleasing sketch. Four Bounding Ashtons. acrobats; Harry Meyc.-. musical tramp; Bert Von Tiller, ill. songs. Von Tllser deserves headline featuring, as he Is very clever. MANNION'S (Mannlon Bros., mgrs.). "Red path's Napanees." Charles I^edcgar, Ryans. and Irene Hnrck. make up satisfactory hill. LEMP'S PARK.—Billy Allen Is hesdlng the musical stock company in a pleasing production of "King of Kokoroo." NOTES. -Naomi Van Achen, a Ma pie wood so clety girl. Is winning success as a soloist with Natlello's Band at Delmar. She has been re- warded with a long contract for next season.— Marguerite Clark, musical star, is scoring a brill- iant success as a legitimate actress In "Peter Pan" at the Suburban this week.—Alfred G. Robyn. St. Louis' famous composer, has arranged with W. H. Frasee for a production of "The Western C.lrl." of which Robyn wrote the score and Tom T. Riley of Kansas City the book.—Nat Ooodwin Sunday celebrated his fifty-second birth- day at Delmar Garden.—Manager William Garen. of Hnvlln's, is back from Atlantic City and is preparing for the opening.—Frank Moulan. star- ring at Delmar. has been asked to take the comedy role of "Ijissoland." a comic opera by Ht.
