Show William Cahlll at tho Empress, commencing today. Another great blp: show. Just overflowing overflow-ing with novelties. Is what Is promised patrons of tho Empress theater commencing com-mencing with a matinee today. Seldom has a more evenly balanced hill been presented pre-sented at this popular house than tho new one which has its first showing this afternoon. Heading the list thero Is a ridiculous travesty called "In JOltO." in which tho usual triangle Is reversed. U Is the day of the suffragette. The husband hus-band remains at home neglected, while his wife goes to the club, and then enters en-ters the wlfo's friend, nnothcr woman, who innkes love to neglected hubby. As a satire on the modern problem It Is a scream. If mere man wishes to witness all he should not be, ho should not overlook over-look the opportunity of seeing this laughably laugh-ably farce. Queerest of the new acta on the new bill, and one which will probably cause the most comment. Is Selblt's "Spirit Paintings." This Is an act which will keep Empress patrons guessing. Five plain canvases are shown, and tho mull-once mull-once selects two. These are placed In a frame, and then tho audience selects two subjects out of 100 famous paintings and tho pictures called for gradually appear on tho canvas. How tho trick Is accomplished accom-plished .Is a puzzle, which defies solu-tlon. Ray Belmont and Mattle Harl will supply sup-ply the chief singing act of the bill, Miss Had presiding at the piano. Mr. Belmont Bel-mont hns an exceptionally strontr tenor voice and renders the late ballads in a most accomplished manner: Miss Harl possesses a charming personality and a singing voice that has enabled her to portray many of the leading roles In successful suc-cessful musical comedies. Theso two gifted singers will present one of tho musical mu-sical treats of the season. Derkin'c Dog and Monkey Pantomime company will offer 'Dogvlllo on a Busy Day," which Is all that the title suggests. sug-gests. A miniature village peopled only by dog und monkey actors presents a playlet which is acted with the same care and detail that a company of human hu-man beings would present it. Funniest of all Is the tramp dog, who sits on n barrel In front of the saloon and goes Insldo to spongo a drink every time a customer enters tho place. William Cahlll, wtlh a hit of the brogue, rattles off a lot of stories and comment thai Instantly makes him a fu-vorito fu-vorito with his audiences. Pollard, the talkative Juggler, handles billiard cues and balls accompanied by a breezy lino of talk. The Mutual Weekly with now views completes the bill. |
