The act introduces to local theatergoers the Three Harveys, the originators of playing the popular in- door sport on wheels. At every per- formance the pair gives a bona fide contest, playing for eight - minutes with ‘all the skill at their command. There are peveral exciting moments as they whifl around the stage in pur- it, of the ball and they exhibit . re- l.:&l'klble‘ skill in some instances. One miember of thé trio serves as referee and . the ~audience gets considerable lamusement out of watching him dodge the cycles. The act is . head- liner of real merit. Neuss and Ellrid, the Yappank guardsmen, have one of the funniest acts that Keeney patrons havé scen iny many a day. While théy offer some skillful acrobatic feats, it is the com- edy that really makes their specialty a winner. Comedy surprises -are numerous during the time they are on the stage and while some of their methods are of the slap-stick variety they are employed in such a manner that theydappear different and are ex- tremely funny. Lovers of banjo playing will get con- sidérable entertainment out of the met of Collins and the Clifton sisters.

Reviews of Week’s Bills at Theaters “The Ninety and Nine” Makes an Interesting . Lyceum Performance§ Sy % - “The Ninety and Nine,” which' opened at the Lyceum last evening for a week is of the melodramatic or- der with scenic effects in the form of a railroad station, with a telegrapn instrument heard clicking through an open window; a locomotive which is pressed into use for the purpose of conveying the people of a small town | in Indiana to a place of safety in or- der to escape death in a prairie fire. | The story, however, does not depend | for interest on these scenic effects alone, though they help to give it at- mosphere. Tom Silverton who had been engaged to marry Kate Van Dyke, comes to Marlow, Ind., and hav- ing no employment he hangs around the tavern, drinks to excess and a former New York lad produces some ! newspaper clippings showing among others the picture of a man who had committed murder and it bears such a striking resemblance to Silverton that no one could be mistaken about it. In the meantime the latter meets Ruth Blake, who shows an inclination from the first to reform him. Her parents dislike him, the father more than the mother, and Mark Beveridge is also unfriendly towards him. It is the latter, however, who at the time the play opens has the affections of Miss Van Dyke. Beveridge plans to have $2,000 taken from Mr. Blake's home, Hud Bryson, a half-witted fellow, do- ing the stealing under instructions, the idea, being to fasten the crime on Sil- verton. It is when the prairie fire is discovered in Cleves that the true character of Beveridge becomes known. He has a private car on the track near the station and when he is asked to use it to carry the peo- ple out of the path of the fire he re- fuses and Silverton, who is an en- gineer, volunteers his services, runs the engine and carries the people to safety. This scene aroused the au- dience to a high pitch of enthusiasm, the engine in operation being shown, the bell clanging and the fires under the boilers being visible. The character of Silverton was taken by Mr. Cross, he presenting it as an intoxicated individual, not a staggering . drunk, but with just enough liquor in to make him a bit unsteady and his brain a bit muddled. The character was not overdrawn, the finer qualities of the man being vis- ible beneath the exterior of discourage ment wrought by disappointment in love and a thirst for liquor. The advent of Ruth Blak> into his life lessened his desire for drink and through her influence his steps were turned in another direction. Miss Skirvin played Ruth with charm and earnestness, her kindly manner, sweet- ness o% disposition and her sublime faith in Silverton being rewarded witi his restoration to manhood. Even when her father swore he would kill him if he found him in his house again she could not be swerved in her devotion to him and while he broke his promise to her to abstain from ‘drink he won in the end. The work of Miss Skirvin and Mr. Cross all through was well done. Mr. Locke, as usual, was very good as Beveridge, the villain of the piece; Mr. Fuller played Blake, Ruth's father, with care and precision, and Mr. ‘Mullin, Mr. Birch, Mr. Sage and Mr. Schmidt, the latter a New Brit- ain man, filled their respective roles acceptably. Mrs. Hibbard had the character of Mrs. Blake and was just as gentle and kindly as any one could be. Miss Brownell played Miss Van Dyke with that peculiar ‘heartless spirit so essential in that kind of a character, but relented and wept when she realized the true nature of her erring ways. Grace Barton had a good part as Aramantha Markham, who . seemed to know everyone in Marlow, and Nan C. De Voe made a good appearing young Marlow girl. Mrs. Alfred Cross occupied a front seat during the performance and seemed to enjoy the play immensely, being very generous in her applause. MEXICAN PICTURES AT FOX’S THEATER There was a novel innovation at Fox's theater last evening. Company T, First Regiment, C. N. G., attended in a body to witness pictures depict- ing Mexico, showing some of the Federals and Constitutionalists in action, also troopers in a mad cross country ride. Many of the scenes were stirring and gave a vivid idea of war in all of its fierceness. Also some of the scenic spots of Mexico were shown.on the canvas, such as the Viga canal, floating gardens, national palace, etc. Fox's had a record break- ing attendance, over 200 were turned away at 7 o'clock. Great enthusiasm was manifested when the orchestra played the “Star Spangled Banner,” everybody standing and applauding, The pictures were all good. The curtain was raised at the Mexican scenes and to the front of the stage were seen tents flanking each side of the stage. American colors were | greatly in evidence all over the thea- ter.\ The pictuires showing the Mexi- 2 bull fights were true to life and the big audience present. 7 Daily BY i J 5 m 1253 Two-Piece Petticoat for Misses and Small Womep, 16 and 18 years.

VITH HIGH OR NATURAL WAIST LINE. Such a skirt as this one¢ is perfectly «dapted to washable material, conse- juently is sure to be in demand at this eason. The tuck gives a_tunic sugges- ion and the fullness gives breadth where »readth is needed, yet the skict is made n one straight piece and consequently is sy to wash and iron. As a matter of :ourse, two materials couid be used by oining them beneath the tuck, and, since :ombinations of plain and fancy ma- erials are greatly in vogue, that sugges- ion is worth heeding. Again, since the skirt is a straight one, it suits flouncing or sordered materials perfectly well. For the*16-year size will be needed 37§ yards of material 27 inches wide, 25§ yards 36 or 44. The width of the skirt .t the lower edge is 1 yard 20 inches. The pattern 8256 is cut in sizes for ses 16 and 18 years of age.
