GOLDSMITH & SON Station I 21, Newark, N. J. upon some of the veterans It has not dimmed their art. The program was opened by a catchy overture. "The Old Timers* Medley," arranged by Charles F. Warner, who has been Mr. Kernan's musical director con- tinuously since 1884. A prolog commemora- tive of the occasion was read by a local old time Shakespearean actor, George Macom- her. Allen and Clark opened the program proper with their ever-remembered musical specialty, mixing comedy and harmony en- tertainingly and scored a solid hit. Then came the pioneer minstrel men—the record vaudeville team in length of partnership— Fox and Ward. They work with a vim and their time-honored "Mother-ln-Law and the Snag" Joke had them screaming. They closed with "Poor Old Uncle Ned" and an ancient mlnntrol dance. Four bows. Next came Lottie (Hlson. "The Little Magnet," who, barring a considerable accumulation of adipose tlssut, looked the same as In the old days. Miss Ollson rendered four songs—her closing number being "The Sunshine of Par- adise Alley." the well-remembered refrain being taken up lustily by the audience. She was forced to bow her acknowledgments sev- eral times. Mr. A Mrs. Thome cams next DOCKRELL S FUNERALS No Funeral Too Small $65 UP None Too Extensive WE MEET CONDITIONS.

Dookrell A Oo., 325 West 42d St. with their perennial farce, "An Uptown Flat." It had them roaring In front and the little company was given hearty rounds of applause at the finish. Next came Mrs. An- nie Yeamans. She literally stopped the show, being greeted with hand clapping and shouts of welcome. Although husky from emotion caued by her reception, Mrs. Tea- mans delivered a quaint little monolog that every one appreciated. * She finished with an old-time song and dance. "I Hops I Don't Intrude." In response to continued applauss, with tears streaming down her furrowed cheeks, she thanked the audience. John Le Clair followed with his favorite old Juggling specialty and was recalled several times at the finish. Next to appear was the Dean of German dialect comedians, Gus Williams. He was In rare form and every point of his merry monolog hit the bull's eye- For old time's Hake he sang "Needles and Pins" and "What the Milkman Knows." Gresn carpet was then spread in one and out tripped Mag- gie Ollne, becomingly gowned in a gorgeous green half harem and half hobble affair. Ths Irish Queen never sang better in her life and the audience wouldn't let her go until she rendered the classic "Throw Him Down McCloskey." Last, but not least, came Ward A Curran with "The Terrible Judge-" The pahr worked like two-year-olds and their over green comedy never went better. The performance closed with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" by ths entire company in which the audience Joined heartily. All together Ye Olde Timers' Festival registered a huge hit. Mr. Reman was the recipient of many floral designs and hosts of congratulatory wishes. NEW THEATRE (Charles E. Whltehurst. president: George Schneider, mgr.; agent, Charles J.

Melville Vanlman, who is to make an at- tempt to reach Europe in his new dirigible balloon, has bsen here* for several weeks su- pervising the hangar at the Inlet in which he will assemble the big airship. Mr. Vanl- man was the engineer for Walter Wellman, who made the attempt to reach the other side in the ill-fated "America II" last fall. As soon as the dirigible is completed Vanl- man will conduct a series of tests for which he will need fair weather. For the attempt to reach Europe, however, he says that any kind of weather will do, a storm generally provoking eddies of air that will aid him. He Is confident of success. Henry Smith of the Dunlop, who Is popu- larly known as "Hank," surprised every one Harry McBride ANI TWO PALS Tom Shelley-William Purcell In an up-to-date Pot Pourri of Vaudeville Hits Address HARRY McBRIDE, Care Variety, New York The Stanleys With their Novelty Mechanical Shadowgraph This Week (Aug. 21) New Brighton Theatre a few days ago by going fishing—from Young's Pier. Going fishing is quite an un- stately thing to do for Henry, when one conalder how stately that young man is. Henry could not see going out to sea In a fishing boat, besides there are ever so many more people on the pier whom one can get Into an argument with, while on a fishing boat one must keep the muffler closed. When he does go Ashing Henry merely changes his head-gear. The cap he wears certainly dis- guises him, making him a dead ringer for Sherlock Holmes.

Van's Show which opens short- ly. They will play In the show and also do their act. The Van show Is being put out by A. H. Woods. Gertie Vanderbllt and Mable McCane were here for a few days. Gertie says that sho will open with "The Red Widow." later Join "The Russian Wedding," a new Vlenneso operetta, and then another show not yet mentioned. She Intends going to England this Winter and take a fling In vaudeville there. If she makes good she will stick. Miss McCane, when asked whether she was going to be married, replied that she had thought of marrying a "count" of Atlantic City (maybe she meant Hilly Baldwin), but on second consideration, decided not to for- sake the stage. Mabel refused to say who gave her those new peachy diamonds. - Walter C. Kelly Is here for a few weekl' stay. He looks fine and says he Is feeling good. Walter said that they had tried to get him to work here and at Brighton, but he decided to give himself a straight vacation. Jos. Hart announces that a play will be written around "Dlnkelsplel's Christmas" The show will be put out about the first of the year. Joseph Callahan, connected with the Dun- lop Cafe and who nearly lost his life a few weeka ago when a coHle dog cut oft his wind while swimming, proved a hero Tuesday afternoon. Two waiters trom the Dunlop went bathing in a heavy surf and were swept under Young's Pier In distress. Callahan seeing their predicament ran from the Board- walk and. throwing his coat off, plunged In after them. That the men are alive Is due to his efforts. After about twenty mlnutet the trio were pulled up onto the pier from a trap-door near the stage entrance. BANGOB, MI. NICKEL (H. F. Atkinson, mgr.).—Bernard A Hill; Al. D. Weston; Prof. Fortler; W.
