Guy Bartlett & Co. in their scream- ingiy funny comedy sketch havé all who see it wondgring how the huge figure which they introduce in their act walks and dances all over the stage and obeys the commands of his colored captain so promptly. Mr. Bart- lett’s parodies add much to the clever comedy running through the entire act. The grace and ease with which Mlle. Omega performs on the silver wire laces her near the top of the list of ady wire walkers, Her act is neat and adds much to the entertalnment red by this week’s bill. earn and Rutter, hard and soft- shoe and eccentric dancers, are among the best in the business and draw forth rounds of applause all through their turn. The mere announcement that Claude and Marion Cleveland are on the bill the present week suffices. Miss Morelle is scoring heavily with Toodles, and Oh! The Night of the Kerry Dance. The plotures are, as usual, the best In town. BREED THEATER. #The Fisherman's Bride” Large Audience. Thrills a A very aftractive and novel motion pligture now being shown at the Breed theater is entitled The Fisher- man’s Bride, a strenuous story of stur- dy seamen, in which is introduced a retty romance that has melodramatic endencies sufficient to entertain every elass of spectator. The great brilllancy of the varied ::Anes and the clever choice of pic- resque surroundings for the spirited action, are some of the means which enables the picture to become the suc- eess that it is. The wonderful scene where the abducted groom is cast aboard of an ocean tug, to be carried to sea, and the subsequent discovery of his whereabouts by the sorrowful bride, and her guick pursuit of the villains, in which she is assisted by the harbor police, is one of unusual merit, and never fails to thrill every witness. The exquisite picture-story of the Biegraph cast, entitled Through the Breakers, is an accurate portrayal of the social set at the height of the sea- son, and is an admirable representa- tion of the fads and follies of the Four Hundred, as well as giving a most accurate portrayal of the home life of the butterflies of fashion. This pie- ture carries a very strong moral, and the costuming and accessories are sumptuous to the point of gorgeous- mess. Miss Wolcott is undeniably an ar- tist of great ability, as revealed last evening in her perfect rendition. of Gelll’'s The Butterfly. BROADWAY THE/.TER. Sousa’s Special Artists. Sousa has made it a rule in pre- {:;ln‘ for his tours through the coun- to present each season special so- loists mever before engaged on Sousa tours, and this rule has been adhered to in most cases, with one or two ex- ceptions. For the present tour the distinguished bandmaster has engaged three young lady artists of whom most flattering things are said in the re- rts of the concerts. These are Mlss lorence Hardman, a Kentucky girl, and a violinist of rapidly extending reputatfon, and the Misses Frances and Grace Hoyt, who will appear in duets exclusively, and whose fresh and beautiful voices have directed wide attention toward themselves and made them much sought after in af- fairs of consequence, The Sousa con- cert here will occur on Thursday, De- cember 16, at the Broadway theater. BROADWAY THEATER RETURNS TO VAUDEVILLE. Manager ' Potter Announces It Will Start Christmas Day—Will Give Way for First ClI Shows. Resident Manager Howard W. Pot- ter of the Broadway theater announced on Tyesday that commencing Christ- mas day the theater would become a vaudeville house again, breaking into the continuous presentation of high- class vaudeville and moving pictures only for one or two of the first class $1.50 ghows per week after that date. Thig change involves several others of importance in the amusement en- terprises. The Lyceum theater in New Yondon,which js also operated by Man- ager Ira W. Jackson, wili adopt the same arrapgement. Manager Jackson has secured bookings of the high class Sheedy vaudeville acts and the Sheedy vaudeville will not be given at Bijou theater there, that playhouse being closed. Norwich amusement seekers have shown their fondness for good vaude- ville gnd moving pictures, and Man- ager Potter, who is now placed in en- tire charge of the Jackson interests In this city, will present only the best grade in this class of entertalnment. The vaudeville shows start Christ- mas day, and their first interruption is on Tuesday, Dec, 28, when the prom- ise of good drama is to be fulfilled by resentation of Israel, which comes ere from a rnu in New York. The Broadway theater and the Ly- ceum will exchange entertainers in middle of the week, thus giving an entire change of bill twice every week. For the pictures a better quality and asscrtment of films than has ever be- fore been shown will be used. The ice will he ten cents all over the ouse and: for the matinees children will be admitted for five cents. This sort of entertainment makes some changes necessary in the theater, such a sthe bullding of a booth enclosing the picture machine, which is a new requirement of the laws for protection from fires. European ‘Glaciers Gradually Decreas- ing in Size. The latest report on European gla- clers—that of Dr. Edward Bruckner and E. Muret for 1907-~shows an aver— age lessening in size in the Alps. In the Central Alps one glacier, the Vorab in the Rhine basin, is increas- are possibly increasing; onary; four are probably , and fifty are certainly de- i% advancing, oné is stationary and twen- ty-four are in retreat, and in the Ital ian Alps all glaciers but one are treating. In Norway, on the other hand, the glaciers of Jotunhelm are growing larger, six have been advancing and four retreating in 1904-1905, seven ad- vancing and seven retreating in 1905- 1906, and fifteen advancing and only three retreating in 1906-1907. THIS WIDE WORLD. In a Frefch villagg a citizen had upon his land a part of an old build- ing contalning two very beautiful win- dows. He was in debt and embar- rassed and eagerly closed with the offer of a rich archaeologist, who bought them. Thereupon the govern- ment inspector, hearing of the bar- gain, arrived just in time to stop the masons from dislodging the windows. “You cannot,” he said to the villager, “sell antiquities, my man.” “But, ex- cellency, I have-used the money and paid my creditors.” The villager was in despair, but the-.official was un- touched. “That’s all right,” he said; “the money is safe; the windows are no longer yours. But thé buyer can’t move a stone of them. He can, how- ever, come with a campstool, and sit down and look at his property as much as he likes.” “Cairo, In Illinois, the scene of the latest lynching” horrors, is the best known of the many United States towns named after the Egyptian city,” says the London Chronicle. “There are at least eighteen of them. Egyp- tian place names for some reason have appealed strongly to American town namers. We find eighteen Alexandrias also; Memphis scores eleven or more, Thebes two (though one or both, of course, might be in honor of the Boeo- tian Thebes), Nile three and Egypt it- self seven. Rosetta and- Suez score one apiece, But there is one Khedive, though, curiously enough, not a sin- gle Pharaoh. Moses, however, has two lakes, a bayou and a mountain group.” Tracing the criminal by his finger prints was successfully accomplished at Soctland Yard, London, last year, in no fewer than 9,440 cases. Her Bright Cook. Mrs. Blank prided herself on her ability to retain her servants, and she had just been bragging about the treasure she had in her new colored cook when the following dialogue oc- curred: “Now, Amaranth, I'll come out and fry the chicken, but I want you to have it all ready for me. Dress it carefully and be sure to singe off ev- ’ry hair.” “Yas'm.” “Then cut it up just as I showed you the other day. Do you remember ?” “Yas'm.” - “Wash and drain it well derstand ?” “Yas'm.” Then as an afterthought, “Shall I kill it?"—Circle. You un- —_— HOME GARMENT MAKING.
