Dazle in "I'an- taloon," topping the week's new bill In her J. M. Barrle pantomime new to Milwaukee, landed no more heavily with the opening matinee audience than a vaudeville act of average worth, possibly due to the fact that a widely known dancer does comparatively little dancing. "Pantaloon" appears to merely please, and stops right there. Paul Nevins, blackface, in "The Coal Man and the Maid." was considerably more satisfying as an en- tertainer, being. In fact, about the best thing on the bill as far as popular tastes are con- cerned. The song of the Job offered by the physician who wanted a corpse dug up in the night makes the crowd get up and yell for more. His eccentric dancing also lands with enviable ease, and the work of his partner. Ruby Erwood. is not far behind. Outside of these two acts the bill Is lacking In strength. George P. Moore and Florence Elliott, in their comedy billed "A Baby Grand," are offensive with a raw sketch that should not be tolerated In burlesque, much less a leading vaudeville house. Taken for what it's worth, the act of Svengall, whose woman partner on the stage plays or sings anything requested to him while down with the audience, at least gets across nicely. Fred A Rena Santos missed connections with their baggage and sang and danced In their street clothes, going fairly well, although one song Is a bit too sugges- tive. Hlnes and Fox. aided and abetted by silk hats and evening clothes, sing some light- weight numbers. I'ope and Uno. the latter a (log. open, while the Le Grohs. with a Eu- ropean novelty gym stunt, have the closing spot. CRYSTAL (Wllllanti (Jray, mgr.; agent. T. n.
