NATURAL SHAPE CORK TIPPED PALL MAIL LONDON CIGARETTES ORPHEUN'S BILL 500D A5 US0AL James Neill Will Open To-Night at the California. Fischer’s Theater Continues . Crowded Nightly by Playgoers. The bill at the Orpheum for this week is one of the best that has been offered at the popular vaudeville house for months. Every feature from the opening of the programme to the conclusion is ex- { ceptionally entertaining. The Pony Bal- let, a decided Eastern novelty composed of eight pretty damsels, who are airy in | manner and light of foot, is one of the | | pleasing features of the show. The Three | | Nortons, tather, mother and daughter, are | perhaps’the best ail around dancing, mus- ical and off-hand fun makers that have | appeared at the Orpheum in some time. At the opening of their sketch the elder | Nortons shine as a quaint old Irish cou- | ple and, assisted by their daughter, they present a finale that is particuiarly pleas- ng. | _Milton and Dolly Nobles, who have been | popular in this city for the last ten years, | are on the bill with a brand new one-act | comedy entitled ‘“‘\Why Walker Reform- ed.” It is a little skit which gives the ability of the versatile couple full swing. Knight Brothers, singing and talking comedians, amuse with _their original gags. Petching Brothers, high-class mus- lcal artists, direct from Europe, present a novel stunt. With the aid of electricity and clever memory work, they bring su- perb music out of stage flowers. Their “stunt’’ is entitled the “Musical Flowers." | Susie Fisher, the clever barytone singer, won her share of applause. The Wilton Brothers, triple horizontal bar experts, do 2 marveiousiy clever mixture of comical and serious horizontal bar work. T With tb-night begins the third and last week of Mr. Willard's engagement at the Columbia Theater. The week's pro- gramme will be given over to three pro- ductions, the Sothern version of “David Garrick,” that will be put on to-night, Friday, and at the Saturday matinee; “Tom Pinch”’ dramatized for Mr. Wil- {lard from ‘‘Martin Chuzzlewit,”” on Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday evenings; | and on Saturday night “The Professor's; Love Story.” The famous English actor is said to be particularly well suited in the role of David Garrick, and as Dick- ens’ quaint hero should be even more hap- pily cast. The Tom Pinch character, with its gentle humility, sweetness and true’ manliness, is said to be among the best work that Mr. Willard has done, and the play will doubtless be a very attract- ive bill. Next week come Maxine Elliott and Nat Goodwin in “When We Were Twenty-one.” SEh e The opening of the Neill season to-night at the California Theater will be quite an important event in theatrical circles. The opular company returns without a break in its personnel, and has taken unto itself a few new members since its last year's season. Their performances have won for them an enviable utation here, and they stand for clean amnd conscientious | work, with now and again something very much above the average dramatic enter- tainment. The opening bill will be “Captain Lettar- blair,” before given here, but of ‘sufficient | interest to insure large houses'for its | revival. Mr. Neill has the title rolé, and | is quite fascinating as the gallant IPish- | man. Edythe Chapman, still the leading lady of the company, has the principal feminine role, and the rest of the Neill coterie will be seen in effective support. The names read like a list'of old frineds— Julia Dean, the clever ingenue; Miss Lil- lian Andrtews, character student; John Burton, Frank McVicars, Harold Bowles, and Robert Morris. Next week a new play by Ople Reed, “The Starbucks,” a late Eastern success, will be put on. 5 . o The last week of Melbourne MacDowell's engagement begins to-night at the Grand Opera House. Mr. MacDowell has been an extremely popular atiraction at the Mis- sion street theater, and the farewell week ; of his stay is regretfully announced by | his managers. Miss Stone has also been | ! & source of considerable strength in the | productions, adding importantly to the at- tractiveness of the engagement. The last week is to be given over to the Sardou repertoire, for to-night and Tues- day evening ‘‘The Empress Theodora;"” “Fedora’ on Wednesday evening: “Gis- monda” at a special matinee on Thursday afternoon. and on Thursday evening: ‘Cleopatra’” on Friday and Saturday | evenings and Saturday matinee, and “La | Tosca’”” on Sunday afternoon and evening. | “Edward Harrigan, in a season of com- will begin a four weeks’ engagement “Sweet | e on Monday evening next, Lavender.” a with e The Alcazar Theater presents to-night the amusing adaptation from the German | by Sidney Resenfeld, entitled ‘‘The Two Escutcheons.”” The story concerns itself with a proud old German baron, with two or three yards 'of a genealogical tree, and conscious of every letter of it, and a pork- packing American with an _invisible grandfather, who sports a 'scutcheon with a stuck pig. The baron has a son, the pork-packer has a daughter, the baron is poor Bt proud, the American Is rich and proud, and so it goes. But it all comes right in the end. The Alcazar people should get plenty of fun out of the play. “A Child of Fortune” will be the bill up. at the Central this week, and it has every | kind of sensatlon but a street-car strike on its programme. It should =serve to amuse Central audiences right royally. Next week the new leading man, Earle Brown, whose reputation as something -of a heart-breaker has usefully preceded him, will make his first appearance at the | Central. The bill will be “Slaves of the | Orient.” dattigies | ' “The Fortune Teller” is still going its | highly prosperous way at the Tivell Opera House. To-night the pretty opera enters upon its third week, and without a hint | of any diminution of its popularity. It | is a bargain at the price. The singing is so good, the comedy work so bright, the costuming and setting so effective and smart, that ‘it is one of the cheapest things on the theatrical bargain counter. “The Singing Girl” is in preparation, but | there seems little likelihood of an early presentation. SR It _is *“‘standing room only" every ni; at Fischer's Concert House, with the ber & Tields burlesque, “Fiddle Dee Dee” for the bill. The people turned away nightly would make a reasonable audience in themselves, and such has been the case with every performance. The plece is excellently performed, and new features are added nightly. PR The new chutes on Fulton street, oppo- site the Park Museum, are rapidly near- ing completion, and will be thrown open to the public on May Day. The theater is sityated on a lot connected with the | main grounds by a tunnel under and a ht a- bridge over Tenth avenue. The main grounds are six hundred feet long and | two hundred and sixty feet wide, and will | contain the zoo, chutes, scenic railway, four thousand feet long. Ferris wheel, museum, miniature rajilway. electric foun- tain, seal rocks, monkey house, and other features. Colonel Danjel Boone, the well known animal trainer, wiil be in charge of the zoo. and in the theater a strong vaudeville performance will be given ev- ery afternoon and evening. Over a hun- dred arc and thousands of incandescent ! lights will be reguired to illuminate the | chutes. The street-car approaches are exceptionally good, every line in the city transferring directly there. Entered by Burglars, The second-hand store of Abraham Cohn, 80 Jackson street, was entered by burglars some time between 8 o’clock Sat- urday morning and 5 o'clock in the after- noon, and goods of the vaiue of $151 were stolen. Entrance had been effected by forcing open a side door in the hallway. The police were notified yesterday morn- ng. ————— Your Skirt and Shoes mll last much longer if you finish the rt edge with S.
