"The French Models" "The French l.Models" will be the attraction at the Majestic theatre Fri day, playing an entirely new two-act burlesque show, entitled "In Wrong," and "The Rajah Bum." The all-im portant item with a burlesque show, as everybody recognizes, is girls. The pro ducers claim for their chorus that it is the youngest and the greatest looking, singing and dancing chorus of shapely girls now on the 'burlesque stage. As to this feature, the excellent cast of stars, the gorgeous scenery and new, beautiful and original costumes, they challenge comparison with anything on the burlesque stage this season. Frank Burt and iHughie Bernard are the pop ular eccentric comedians who head the cast and have such well known players as George "Red" LMartin, Walter Vernon, 'Mabel Ijeslie, Flossie 'McCloud, Laura Houston and Fred DeSilva to as sist them in the merry-making. Adv.* Ellen Terry The "'Dowager Empress of the .Stage" bids fair to remain with Ellen Terry as a title during the remainder of her life. It was bestowed upon her by the Hon. Joseph 'H. Choate when he introduced her to her audience in New York City a few days ago. Miss Terry aud Mr. Choate have been life-long time friends. In presenting her to her New York friends, iMr. Choate was ful filling a promise made to (Miss Terry several years ago, when, while he was American Ambassador to the Court of St. .lames, he was among the guests at a dinner given in honor of 'Miss Terry and the late Sir Henry Irving, with whom she was connected in Shake spearean' roles, when both of them were at the zenith of their artistic strength, IMiss Terry will appear at the Majestic next Wednesday evening "In Scenes From Shakespeare,'' from the plays to which in other years she added lustre.

JANUARY 20. 1015. direct from the Flowery Kingdom, are serving up one of the most interesting attractions that anybody could wish to see. The chief interest in this attrac tion centers in the youth of the girls and the wonderful intelligence they dis play in their rendition of several late song hits, in fine English if you please, even though this is their eighth week in America. girls, about 14 and 16 years, respectively, come to the Orpheum, direct from a successful en gagement at the Palace theatre in New York. The first part of the act includes some acrobatic feats, which while not unusual, are well done in an artistic stage setting representing a glimpse of the Plowerv Kingdom. At this point of action the father of the girls appears on the scene and announces that the girls are going to try to impersonate the American girls singing ragtime. He also offers apologies, saying the little girls will do their best, but will prob ably make some mistakes in their Knglish. At this part of the act the girls become very interesting. To the complete surprise of all they sing rag time exceptionally well, and if auy mis takes at all are made its just about impossible to notice them. They sing in good voice and have the earmarks of 'becoming very interesting exponents of the syncapted melodies in a short time. The Mevkos are opening the Orpheum show this week and the talent is Un usual all the way through. Adv.* At the Colonial This will be Country Store night at the Colonial. "'Go early to avoid the rush" is the slogan the management has adopted for the occasion, for dur ing the recent week that this attrtkc tion has again sprung into view, tlie shopping and fun has been particularly heavy. Many handsome gifts will be ] distributed and many comedy surprises are also in store. Country Store will be run in connection with one of the i very best vaudeville bills the Busy j j Corner has seen. The roster comprises ' j a very clever and artistic posing nov- ! elty, a breezy comedy sketch, two mon- ] archs of black face comedy, and an im- j persouator who has everybody guess ing. The picture program is of the usual high order of excellence main- | tained at that theatre. Adv.* BANK AND TKUST CO.
