"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. Adv.*

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.*
