Show EMPXESS The new bill at the Empress announced for next week is headed by Add Hoyt's minstrel jubilee, ju-bilee, with a cast of seven former minstrel stars, including Bruce Wallace, John Forsman, Leo Pel-letier, Pel-letier, Walter Van Allen, John Thomas, Herbert Clark and Mr. Hoyt himself. The bill will also include Vivian Murray and Grace St. Clair, who will present a musical comedy com-edy tabloid of stage life, entitled "Broadway Love." Miss St. Clair was formerly the ingenue of the New York company of "The Lure." Estelle Rose will be seen in a number of character songs and new gowns. They-Yan-iDa, a graduate of Carlisle University, and a full-blooded Sioux Indian, possesses a baritone bari-tone voice, and his monologue and native dances have made his an unusual act; the Three Brownies Brown-ies are a trio of young dancers, and William Armstrong and Ernest Ford are vaudeville fa-rites fa-rites whose act this year is said to contain new material. These six acts, together with a number of selected se-lected photoplays, constitute next week's bill, opening Monday afternoon and closing Sunday night. The current program at the Empress closes with the performances of today and Sunday. The famous Jackson Family of Cyclists head the program, pro-gram, and featured on the bill with them is Espy, Europe's foremost artillery juggler; Ralton and Latour, in a musical revue, featuring the Scotch brigade; Lerner and Ward, "The Melba and Caruso Ca-ruso of vaudeville;" the Roland West players in the dramatic sketch, ' The Criminal," and the Empire Comedy Trio in hilarious harmony. |
