“THE 1.1 TIERTY BELLES.”
comedy was presented by Kiaw & Ii‘r-
laugel s tIoubadouIs and “any Ull-
full to a large and appreciative audi-
ence at Hoyt‘s Theatre. last night. it
was a most pleasing performance with
not a dull moment in it. The fun was
fast and furious from start to unlsh.
The first act opened with a scene in the
dormitory of a young ladies‘ seminary.
and the wcl|~known pink pajama girl
was a conspicuous figure. Harry Gil-
foil entertained the audience in the
second act with a most realistic imita-
tion of wild and domestic animals that
it has been theprivllcgo of local thea-
tre-goers to hear. ills imitation of
cats was so perfect that one could
close their eyes and imagine they saw
a congregation of the felines on. the
back. fencewwlth .bootiacks. hairbrush-
es and numerous other articles of war-
fare flying through thc air. Mr. Giifoil
also gave other imitations that kept
his audience in II perfect whirlwind .of
laughter and he was obliged to respond
to six ensures before they were at all
satisfied. Violet Dale. was excellent
in her songs and imitations and was
obliged to respond to enoores, as were
the various other members of the com-
pany who took prominent parts. The
music was bright and catchy. the girls
pretty and the scenery fresh and bean.
:tlfui.. Altogether it was a most suc-
cessful performance and will go down
in theatrical history as one of the best
musical performances ever presented
here. Tonight the attraction is the to
turn engagement of A Hot Old Time.
