_:i te opening of tiue hayiarket and

ungage the attention of vaudevillians in
Iitago last week. In advance of thie
ipeniiug of the active season l1nd thie x-
u,rorditlary doiand for acts all along the
lilte, it Was : lively week at the various
ooking othees about town.

ttii. It Was opened by tle Dalys in a
ukit entitled Kitty and thie Cop and was
ilite acceptable. Plankleb, a   comedy
(lay modeler whose work is deserving
ttf praise, got several laughs by his skill-
itl manipulation of clay. Hlis modeling

'uilg far to set.
one of the daintiest bits oi the bill
tas tle doll ie't of Edna Campbell and
Miolihe   all, two gnaceful and pretty girls.
'The French cdoll bit was clever and the
lancing of hfle ingenucs caught the fancy
,of the 'udience. The acrobatic perform-
inc ie of the Balzers, vich followed, was
'efined and the extremely difficult acro-
),tice feats wvith wxhich their acts abound-

tied by Jessie Burns. They play all
arts of instruments, from the cornet to

io a degree. The act is embellished by

I  are new. Judging fronm the recep-
accorded the -et last week, the trio
ire to become popular in Chiago.

i nil  on a hitdde'r onii slack wxire,

aiiigo audiences, sang How Many Have
ITold that To? with good effect, and
response from the box where a man
- it the chorns dit. her, proved a sur-
ive, to this audience.
The act of Rose Coghlan, reviewed

ton is a primie favorite here and his act
wxenit Nvell.
wnie headliners on the bill were the
ight members of tile Jackson family,
famouls cyclists.  Thlue performance of
fithe Jacksons' is oie of the most remark-
able ever seen on the vaudeville stage
and their manipulation of the bicycle
aniazed tic audience. The up-ending of
tandems and riding oil one wheel is a
feat easily accomplished by these won-
derful cyclists. The double whirl by two
of the Jacksons, by the aid of the han-
dlebar of a machine in swift motion,
evoked vociferous applause.
The Kinodrome pictures were of un-
isual interest. The chase after a mo-
torist in France. a comic subject, pro-
xoked laiue'hter. 'le bill throughout re-
ilects crediit upon tihe management.
There wnas anl abundance of hard work
<one by t1ue performers at the Chicago
Opera Ttise lhast week. T1uc bill was
in  Some respects deficient. but as a
Whole Pr'o'v   'ijoYable.  The drunken
sketch, The Morning After, in wihih
('lurles  A      &  Co. appeared, was
absurd and impossible enough to pi-ovoke
laughter. The comedy' at timies was, pain-
f111N fored, while the jokes, for the
greilter p )art, were mossy with age. All
inter'esting featuc' of ite sketih was the
nt''ig pi'ture interpolation showig a
s tieet,  Ctbu  polie'hilli  anduth  c  uu'glai'y.
This mtade a hit With the audience.
I'wo ially high class numbers were
xiven, both musical.   Leonora  Kirwin
hresented a very pretty singing act, in
which she sat ill a swing and sang:
"Don't You tant to Swing With Ale" in

Musical Five, composed of Edwaid       X:
MAyer, Inte    Julius C    Ae, Niolo
Alex C. ½A.   ii xe iolin  F. W. Aleyeci
ccllio, and Miss lielen E. Meyer, iiezzo

excellcnt, Miss Meyer singing the Inter-
mezzo in good style, and     EdwaiI  V.
Meyer playing an obligato oh tle f1ute
admirably.   Their   concerted   numbers
xxer'e alsoi alauditied.
A capital exlibitn of lasso throwing
was offered by Slicilds &   Rogers, and
the Spectators marveled at the reiiiark-
able dexterity of the pair. Another fair,
number was the singing of the Original
Boothlack Quartette-Brouillette, Adams,
Weber and Hayes.      WVhile their voices
were quite untrained, they aiused by
their antics and odd refrains. Ii fact,
Brouillette was by   no   means a    bad
comedian.
Malart's Dog and Monkey Show        has
been    before the public so long and ac-
clptably that it is almost superfluous
to praise it, but Mr. Macart is always
springing something new    on the public
with  his 'mionks'' and   that helps to
keel) interest alive.
Coming to the real strenuosity of the
show, it must be accoided to Count De-
Butz and Brother, the bicycle experts.
These elever men do such Ia variety of
diticult stunts oin their wheels that the
spectator  fairly  gets  dizzy  watching
