Mr. brol has carried female impersonation beyond mimicry and placed it upon a plane of genuine art Hla work faf remarkable for its finish and its refinement. This ia all the more astonishing because Hr. Errol does not make the mistake of trying to deceive bis pnhUe. He takea them Into his confldeace almost from the outset, and does all sorta of funny little things to make It clear tliat he is a female impersonator, not a man wlio thinks he is decetvtaig the public that he Is a woman. His act imprcsaes because of ita genuine artistry, and alao because it b on the hJAest pume of entertainment with a wide public appeal. His sneecss Is a donbla one, therefore—one for the artist and one for the pobUc entertainer. Many Thanks to English Managers for Postponing Engage- ments to Enable Me to Again Visit U. S.

Otben whldi follow dooe up in the place of premier honora are the old favorites, '^Im Three Rubes," Bowers, Walters and Croker; the' Grenadier Girls, and Hugh McOormack and Grace Wallace. Errol, who is making hla initial appearance here after an absence of fomr years in Europe, is not <mly possessed of a remarkable voice, but he is alio <ma of the best female impersonators at present oa the yaudevllle stage. He dresses the part to' perfeotioa, bis gowns being creations which sppealed strongly to the feminine part of the audience, while his singing jrawers were so pleasing that a big reception recalls wcra accorded to him.
