He Is great H Is uot often that one can nay a miiblc.il act brings down the house. Including the gallery, but It can be said of Westonv. He had ihe audience, from Pit to dome, with him from the time he first appeared on Ihe stage until he responded with bows to half a dozen curtain calls at tho close. Even the galltTy, which oftentimes remains quiet at the conclusion of musical acta, appreciated the fact that an arUst had entertained them, and they led in the applause. Westonv is different dif-ferent from mo6t of the. foreigners seen In vaudeville in that ho shows that ho really enjoys pleasing bis audience, au-dience, and will play auy tune from grand opera to ra time, and he dor It In an artistic and linlehed manner. The program consisted of a selection from "Carmen." "Humor in Art," a melody of national airs and nome rag time of late compositions. Westonv la truly a piano wonder and should bo been to be appreciated The bill has some other good acts that were received more i nUiuslas-tleally nUiuslas-tleally than any seen in many weeks. One was Claud and Fannie Usher In "Fagan's Decision," a beautiful littio sketch, well written and cleverly done Claud and Fannie certainly did a prcut ueai 10 uMier somo real sunshine sun-shine and enjovment Into the splendid bill. The piece is fairly bristling with slang, different though in many respnets from acts that carry lhj slang of tho Gotham Ea-it Side. The Ushers are far above the average in vaudeville performers In their portrayed. por-trayed. They put proper spirit Into the act. Another act on tho hill that Is a rattling good comedy, with many bright lima and ludlcrouH situations, Is "The MalclDg of a Man," given by Mildred Morris, ussisted by Bruce Brayton and C. ('.

James llarrlean, the tramp uenlcr, has a god act and present s some old-tlmo old-tlmo Juggling acta touched up with o rapid-fire monologue. Kroneman Brothers. grotesque equilibrists, opm the snow, Intioduc ing some new novelties that are good. Their act Is abovn the average former athletic act Cook and Stevens, two colored comedians, in "No Check-ee. no Wash-eo," are good. Cook has a strong voice which he uses well In a couple of sonpx. Sieves' mike-up of Ihe Chinese Inundrytnan Is good and well dne. The Orpheum orchestra's selections are becoming a feature of the thows. The klnoflrome has some fairly Interesting Inter-esting features. Tin? hill is far above the average offering and runs the remainder re-mainder of the week with the usual matinees.
