Show i'' - THE CITIZEN I With the First Nighters FOURTH UNIT SHOW NOW PLAYING AT PANTAGES Tlie fourth unit show, which is now playing at the Tantages theatre, is something different. The cast is made up of forty negroes men, women, boys and girls, and their presentation is Plantation Days. There is some of the finest singing ever heard on the local stage, dancing, humor and acrobatic stunts which excel and Ipase. g This large troupe keeps the large audience in laughter from the time the curtain goes up until the finale. Ten elaborate stage scenes are set during the show to set off the various acts presented, and the costumes are of the most gorgeous. It is a real treat to see a show of this kind and the theatre has been crowded to the doors since the opening last Wednesday, and there will be a big demand for seats up to the last play of the troupe Tuesday night. This is the original southern musical revue and has just arrived from the Empire theatre of London, where the company played for five months. e Ample genuine strutting of the quality is found, as is sweet melody by the Plantation Four. The Three Pepper Shakers perform some marvelous contortions under the guise of patter dancing, sing some clever songs and crack a few wise ones. Jeanette and her dusky strutters in the Chappy" dance drew great applause. The chorus of eight attractive young colored women who know their stuff is a keen pleasure. Their costumes are most unusual and clever. Particularly pleasing was the fun-makin- old-tim- jewel vamp scene in which different jewels were depicted by the chorus. The Five Firecrackers offer the fastest act in vaudeville, which has little difficulty in fulfilling its promise. Jones and Jones, darky comedians, fairly bring down the house with their antics and snappy comebacks. Cause for Divorce is a .screen picture showing the unhappy married woman. One woman is poor and cannot dress or go out in society as she longs to, and she becomes greatly despondent and leaves her husband to better her condition. Another woman who is rich has everything her heart desires, but she feels that her husband is neglecting her and pays too much attention to his business, and she plans an elopement with the usual lounge Both women, after passing through a series of thrilling adventures, awake to find what fools they have been and they return home, where they are ever after happy. liz-zar- d.

It is his opinion that singers are depending upon American instruction more and more every year and that the time will come wrhen the casts of the grand opera productions, as well as those of light musical plays, will be recruited chiefly from Americans. He points to the increasing tendency on the part of the managements of the Metropolitan and Chicago opera companies to depend upon native singers, as a proof of his statement. American conservatories, to him, lack only one thing that is found abroad, and that might be defined as glamour. It might be described as sentimental asociation, the mystical and alluring background in musical history the loves and disappointments of such men as Schubert, Chopin and Wagner. Then, too, one must consider the enchantment of the old and revered, of life far distant from home. All these lend a charm which gives precedence. enA certain amount of hocus-pocu- s ters into the European idea of musical training, declares Mr. Davenny.
