Friday night, Oct 2. was Ed Lee Wrothes night at the North American cafe. Special music and other features marked the occasion. Arnold Daly expresses a desire to play "Hamlet" in Chicago and announces that he has found an angel with $40,000. He Is looking for a theatre. Friends have come to the aid of Col. BUI Thompson, who Is suffering from a cancer. He Is getting on nicely. J. C. Matthews headed a subscription list for him. For the past three weeks, motion pictures of the Marco Twins have been running at the Lincoln Hippodrome. Last week the two men appeared In person and drew large audi- ences at every performance. "Joseph And His Brethren" will close at the Auditorium Saturday. The piece will play two towns on its way to Milwaukee and later make a tour of the middle west. John Runny and his company will arrive at the big theatre Oct. 17. AUDITORIUM (Bernard Ulrlcta. mgr.).— "Joseph and His Brethren," In final week.

BOOK ON Dog Diseases AND HOW TO FEED H.CLAY QL0VER, V.S. 118 W. 31st St., New York £ Green got the people with them In no time and the act registered. Daring Prince, a monkey motorcyclist (said to be the only one In the world), opened the show, giving an exhibition of Intrepid riding in a cage that put his simian eminence right to the fore. Al II. White (New Acta) had to follow in the wake of the big noise, but more than made good. The Werner-Amoros company gave a varied performance that took immensely. These tour men have nearly a whole vaude- ville show of their own, running from Juggling to high class music The young man who Impersonates a woman did his work so well that the audience was completely fooled. Kenny, Nobody and Piatt, familiar to Chicago people, offered their brand of black face Jokes and songs. They preceded George Damerel (New Acts), where they worked to good ad- vantage. Henrietta Crosman, next to clos- ing, offered the vaudeville oddity, "One Word." The Jerky effect of this style of utterance makes an odd Impression. Miss Crosman was graceful in the role of "One Woman." Barabah and Grohs formed the period to the entertainment with their repertoire of dances. They are graceful, have a varied program and succeeded In keeping the people in their seats until the final curtain. ACADEMY (Wm. Slattery, mgr.; agt., W. V. M. A.).—Nicely balanced and very entertaining bill is packing them In at ths Academy the first half. "Marked Money," presented by the Readick-Freeman Players, is featured and Bpllts the honors of ths show with Parke, Rome and Francis, a three- man harmony singing act Chuck Hass opens with a good bit of roping and talking. His cowboy dress is not exaggerated as it is in most cases with small time cowboy singles. Black and Leslie, two good old timers, score as usual with their novel dance and song act "Marked Money" appealed especially to the Academy audience. The playlet Is bright In Its comedy and dramatic situations and is acted admirably throughout. A rather start- ling climax sends it away big. Parke, Rome and Francis do real comedy without the aid of the usually essential comedy make-up. The boys have a repertoire of good numbers, Including "At the Barbecue," "Dance that Dengozo With Me" and "Just For To-night." Closing, the boys have a burlesque operatic hit which exhibits their ability as harmon- ists and comedians, and this factor, In con- Junction with a good appearance, should send them over nicely in most any bill. One of the best novelties recently seen here In the small time Is presented at the finish of the show by George Delblnl and Co. A most re- markable part and feature of the act Is a woman who does a Chinese character. Her comedy Is good and the equllibral feats of the man in the act brings well merited com- mendation. The act would be an ideal opener for more pretentious bills. MAJESTIC (Lyman B. Glover, mgr.; agts., Orph.).—After much maneuvering about and many changes the bill settled down to an en- tertainment of merit. Eddie Leonard, out at next to closing on account of sickness, Harry Jolson was Impressed into service. He fol- lowed Emma Carus and Carl Randall, who made the biggest hit in the program, hence he was handicapped and felt it. He put his songs over, however, and dragged a triumph out of what seemed defeat. Miss Carus won her audience early in the game, and by the time she had travestied the tango fad with the aid of Randall, she was a big hit. Yvetta who sings, dnces and plays the violin, formed a lively part of the entertainment and came VON HAMPTON 1JOSSELYN Wish to announce that all material, including song, dialog and stage business, a finish of act entitled "PUSHING TO THE FRONT." is copyrighted and fully protected.
