The closing vaudeville bill of the sea- son at the Auditorium is drawing well filled houses despite the warm weather, which speaks well for the quality of the entertainment- provided by the management. % Jack Inglis, “the humorous' feller, is a light comedian of the “candy kid” species and is a most versatile per- former, introducing songs, stories, dancing and a dramatic recitation dur- ing the twelve minutes he occupies the stage. ¢ The Alabama Trio are three hvel‘y colored entertainers who with their funny minstrel act are obliged to re- gpond to numerous bows and encores before their audiences are willing to let them off the stage. The team of Lester and Alger are a pair of clean cut young men who indulge in a line of humorous conver- sation and well selected songs and they always manage to leave their houses “laughing when they say good bye.” Rene La Velle is a hard shoe dancer of the first class, performing with ease and precision the most intricate steps and moves. Her latest dance, “A game of baseball,” is unique and right up to date. . The moving pictures. for the first three days of the week are all good, dramatic and comedy subjects being well balanced. The Edison feature, A Cup of Tea and She, is a drama of heart interest in the usual splendid Edison style. The Pathe subject, The Way to Happiness, is a marvel of color hotography. Other pictures are The g‘[arathnn Craze, The Sculptor’s Love and Eddie is a Real Live One. ( BREED THEATER. Thrilling Wild West Motion Pictures. The programme at the Breed theater this week is one of great interest, as it is fairly teeming with cowboys, wild chases over” mountain and plain, pic- turesque mountain scenery and the glories of the golden west. Perhaps the picture of greatest interest is the one entitled The Mexican’s Gratitude, carrying a story of great strength and jntroducing many dramatic novelties. The ‘hting Chance is another west- ern picture that is equally interesting, fnasmuch as it is one of the most beau- tiful scenic pictures seen in a long time. The other pictures, all of which are unusually attractive, are Twin Brothers, Lucky Jim, The Dairymaid's Lovers and the beautifully colored one, The Bohemian Girl. Madam Morelle was capably assisted by Miss Marion Bradley, contralto, of Dorchester, Mass, in the excellent duet, “Whispering Hope,” by & White, which was so satisfying to the generous sized audience that it was necessary to respond to an encore, when they gave a very novel arrange- ment of the ever pretty Red Wing. The madam was afterwards heard to ad- vantage in the popular illustrated song “If T Had a Thousand Lives to Live.” So many requests came to the box office to have Mr. Delaney continue his big hit, “Mornin’, Cy!” that he is do- ing so for the first part of the week, Efitaintng his other new one for Thurs- ay. WILD WEST SHOW. The 101 Ranch Wild West Show, the only distinctively and exclusivelv au- thentic prairie amusement organiza- tion of the country, will visit this ciyy on Thursday, presenting afternoon and evening performances at the Sachem park ball grounds and introducing it- gelf with an elaborate and original forenoon street parade. Miller Bros. & Arlington, joint owners of the institu- tion, make promise that nothing like the 101 Ranch traveling amusement adjunct in character or {n magnitude has ever before been seen in this city. The real life of ranch and range and Indian camp will be reproduced in all its vivid and romantic picturesqueness hl,\' actual, living figures of the fron- tier. The organization comes here direct from the Miller Bros’ ranch at Bliss, Okla., the largest and most famous in 4]l the world. Every one of the 700 members of the show is a permanent employe of the great prairie enterprise, paroled to give the public a truthful view of the life that has vitalized: west- ern history. They look upon their summer tour in the nature of a holidav lJark. ‘At its conclusion they will re- turn to their duties among the thou- sands of horses and cattle which roam the 101 Ranch fertile acres. There are three of the Miller Bros.— Joseph C., Zack T. and George L.—and | they are the pride and wonder of Okla- homa and all of the other great south- west. Their land holdings embrace more than thirty square miles. are survivors of the days of the buffalo drive and the emigrant trail, and are proving in these days of crowded cities , and contracted commercialism that the stock industry, on a gigantic scale, is Just as immensely profitable today as ever in the history of the country. The 101 Ranch has remained intact n all its vastness despite the influx of the small farmer into Oklahoma. Regulation quarter-section homesteads completely encircle its area, but the 101 Ranch range still remains largely unblocked and roads end and the trails begin there. Several tribes of Indians, Evlng as primitively as in the old days, ave their homes on the great tract, and the buffalo wanders at will. Tn- cidentally the Millers own more than one-tenth of the present day number of lth!s one distinctive American ani- wal. The organization which is coming to this city is an amplified edition ofgthe show which startled the amusement world last year. It is a living page from frontier history, without profes- &ionalism or theatrics. It is solely a “real” wild west show. Every fe&ure and figure is original with the 101 Ranch—cowboys, cowgirls, Indians, bucking horses and traineq cow ponies, champfons of the lariat, the gun and the bow and arrow, longhorn steers, pure blooded buffaloes, emigrant sciooners and old time prairie stage coaches. -Without variation or illusion the sports, perils, pastimes, hardships, adventures,’ chivalries and routine du- ties of the ranch and range are je- produced in a great arena. This 101 Ranch tournament, from its very nature and source, is different and distinct from anything ever shown be- fore under canvas. Miller Bros. & Ar- Jington promise that none of the hack- ‘neyed, tiresome, familiar round of other so-called and mis-called “wid west” They | formerly at Hodge' ,“fi:?:r'&uudi"x exhibitions i licking and g of snmmuln. There is not woman in it who not sagebrush and the prairie and who | cannot read the grass and the sky with understanding eyes. The grand entry at each performance is a veritable echo of the plains and the cattle trail. - A Great Roof Garden. : As New York been called the modern Babylon, it is perhaps fitting that one of its most prominent hotels should attempt to eclipse the famous hanging gardens of the ancient city with a- roof garden that shall repre: sent the eighth wonder. In the old days kings and emperors taxed their subjects to provide themselves with new and expensive delights, and this one will doubtless exact tribute, but only from those who are able and willing to pay it. is roof garden will be the largest in the world, but its size will be its least distinguishing feature. At one end of ‘the garden a mountain brook plunges down the 'side of.a rocky promontory into & woodland pool, alive ‘with fishes in its depths and aquatic birds upon its surface. More than five hundred trees and flowerin~ plants have already been set out and there are more.to come. There will be a rose garden, a palm garden amt other gardems, with a full orchestra in each, while’ from the sixty-foot staff a large white flag will be blown straight by a motor fan and on this banner a searchlight will flagh the stars and stripes, except when a for- eign ambassador is a guest at the hotel, when the flag of his country will be substituted. Yet even tnis fairy land at their doors will hardwy prevent rich New Yorkers from seek- ing as usual the brooks and wood- lands as nature made them. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
