Show "THE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS." : Compared with other vaudeville performances which have tended to give the public hrsomlnia at intervals for some months past, this week's attraction at the Lyric positively scintillated. The "High School Girls" were ' not only very p-good p-good to look at, but there wasn't a dull thing in the performance from the aerial athletes to the Dutch comedians. These latter, whom a kindred kind-red ancestry endowed with the same proper name as Lew Fields, have some clever lines which they unfurl in clever fashion, and Rose Gillman and Anna Frances were quite refreshing in their singing sing-ing and dancing specialties. Mr. Hughes was competent in his impersonations, and the "Six Flying Fly-ing Banvards" provide a very dazzling form of entertainment. All the performances were well attended, which was a deserved tribute to quite the most creditable attraction of its kind which has appeared here during the present season. A tall; sandy-haired man accompanied by a young and pretty woman s;tood' before a New York theatre box office window one recent night and said to the ticket seller: "Two in the orchestra, nice ones; I've got my wife with me." "Haven't two seats together anywhere in the house,", replied the ticket seller without looking up. ' ' ' . "Oh, come; it can't be as bad as that," said the fall man. "Do something for us; Squeeze us m somewhere." " L The ticket seller shifted his gaze from his accounts ac-counts to his ticket rack without as much as a passing glimmer at the tall man. "I'll have to separate you from your wife," he said after a pause as he abstractedly dropped wo odd seats on the. glass slab, one for a seat at the right of the orchestra, the other for a chair at the left. "Aw, quit your kidding," retorted the tall man, with a sniff, as he started for the street with his companion. The box ofllice man looked' from the two odd tickets to his customer. Then he nipped the tip of his tongue between his' teeth. The tall man waff Bob Fltzsimmons. ' |
