much clever business and some typical Rice humor. The bachelor turns out to be the girl's cousin with whom he was in love without ever having seen her and all ends well. The laughs were very frequent throughout the act, and Rice certainly gets all there is out of the situation. The close was big, with three curtain-calls. CLIFFORD & BURKE. 23 min. in one. Well known act, about the same as offered here before and just as strong a laugh-getter. The eccentric dance at the close merited a good hand. IDA FULLER. 11 min., Full Stage. An act reminding one of Papinta, but even more brilliant and spectular. Held the interest of the audience throughout. Makes a very good closing feature. KINETOGRAPH. "A Useful Present for a Child." An amusing French film. "The Cider Industry." An interesting series of Normandie pictures. "Modern Sculptors." A very novel and highly amusing film. Altogether the kinetograph showing this week is much above the average. SHUNGOPAVI. 18 min., Full Stage. The merit of this act consists in the novelty of a Moqui Indian doing a magical stunt. His line of talk is quite amusing. His costume is a work of barbaric art, as if that of his pretty girl assistant. Fair applause after each feat. Closed well. MLLE. CECILLE DARNELLE. 10 min. in one. This young lady advertised herself as a "comedienne, vocalist and imitator of celebrities. She is neither comical nor a singer, and her imitations are without the slighest resemblance to the originals except perhaps in costume and borrowed material. After the excellent imitators we have had here, even in the three-a-day section, this young lady's work is painfully crude. THE THREE MADCAPS. 10 min., Full Stage. These young ladies are well known, doing eccentric dancing and acrobatic stunt. They hold down a small spot on the bill about as well as on previous occasions. GENERAL REMARKS. This bill is monotonous from the song and dance standpoint, as there is almost constant vocal work from No. 2 to No. 8. More than that, Anderson & Goines should not be placed on the bill with Clifford & Burke, and there are the many dark acts, including as it does, at least four. However, the head liners will draw good business for us for the balance of the week.
