Vaudeville and Motion Pictures, Charles Carlo’s animal circus, some- thing new to the stage at the Audito- ridm, made a drawing cr.rd for Monday masinee anl evlin,ng performances, tilling top line place in an attractive vaudeville programme.

The latter is a pleasing charactar sing- er, while the Marshalls are a colored team with a snappy line of songs and @ ragtime artist on the piano. Lillian Morelle sings the illustrate song, Hero Th Know, and epotlight song, g these a favor- ite turn on the bill, and the moving pictures present a good variety of in- teresting subjects. BROADWAY THEATER. “Brewster’s Millions.” “Brewster's Millions,’ a dramatiza- tion of George Barr McCutcheon’s en- tertaining story, which scored a pro- nounced success here last season, will be the attraction at the Broadway the- ater on Thursday, Dec. 2d. Robert Ober will be seen in the title character | of Brewster, which he has played for upwards of one hundred consecutive | weeks, and the excellent cast is prac- | tically the original. May Talbot will be seen ag Peggy Gray, and the re- ROBERT OBER. maining lost list of characters will be played respectively by Emily Lytton, Nestor Lennon, Ada May, Grace Arn- old, Joseph Koodburn, Albert Sackett and a score of others. There is nothing new to say about the play. The triumph of stagecraft is attained in’the wonderfil scene on shipboard,® the yacht rocking in the gale, when Monty sounds the signal of distress, thus disposing in less than a second of the $500,000 which had been worrying him for weeks. Of course, it is all wildly improba- ble, so was.the book, but there is fun enough in this whimsical story of fren- ried finance to make even the blase play-goer laugh. Seats on sale at the box office, Wau- regan house, and Pitcher & Service's on Tuesday, Nov, 30th, at 9 o’clock. BREED THEATER. “Briton and Boer,” Sensational Picture. War Again the Breed theater was crowd- ed, and the eager crowd was more than delishted with the general excel- lence of the great biJl. As a head- liner™~the great feature picture of the Boer war, entitled PBriton and Boer, made a most favorable impression, the equal of which was never seen in this clty. At times the entire sereen is filled with stampeding forces from hoth sides, and the mountain sides are black with troops of the British, while 1‘he>Boeru are cleverly concealing their limited mumber by hiding in dugouts. There are several scenes of the eom- bats, but the most spectacular is the jast fatal stand at Paradesburgh, where the surrender of Cronje takes place, A beautiful romance serves as @ vehicle for the display of military aotion, the Boer leader’s daughter hav- ing met and fallen in love with the British general while in England at school. Another great feature is the wonder- ful pictures of Annette Kellerman in her physical culture, diabolo, fanqy diving and swimming. Miss Kelerman has just closed a three months’ en- gagement at the Keith theater, Bos- ton, and has the proud distinction of being the highest salaried single enter- tainer in the vaudeville business, re- ceiving $2,500 as her weekly salary, as testified to before 'a notary by her managers. Miss Wolcott sings two new sengs this week, and, as usual, receives in- sistent encores. PEOPLE’S SINGING CLASS. ,lofil Study Class and Chorus to Be Organized Tonight.
