Roman and Roma, 1 those well known singing comedians, | appear in a new act. San Antonio au- 1 diences seem never to tire of the good voices and really funny comedy of" the team, their efforts last night being greeted with much applause and laugh ter. Roma also sings an illustrated song very tunefully. The Burns Brothers, eccentric danc ers, do some clever novelty footwork, which was well received. While the team dance act has been rather over played this summer, the Burnses have some new steps and those who like dancing were well pleased. Miss Martelle sings a ballad, a topical number, and gives an imitation of a Spanish senorita singing “La Paloma.’’ Her best work was probably the mid dle number, “ Whoop-a-la,” which is not only well sung but which is given a characteristic swing and dash by the lady. Among the pictures is a film show ing some great, acrobatic work by a [troupe of celebrated Paris clowns. | Altogether, the bill gave general sat- I isfaction. ELECTRIC PARK. This week's program at Electric park 1 teminds one of a stadium or hippo I drome. The acts are all clean cut and ; very appropriate for an open air re sort. The opening number introduces The [ Kardows, in feats of strength. Kar ’ now is a fine specimen of manhood and I handles heavy dumb bells and several i full grown men as though they were ; toys. The hit of the act is Master Wil lie Kardow-, possibly the youngest aero , bat seen on the local boards in this city. Balfour (I), man or woman, it is dif i ficult to tell which, appeared in several well selected fancy dances and received : generous applause for his excellent ef- I forts. । The Van Trio, contortion and ring ar . fists, close the bill. Their act is bright, full of sensational stunts and merit* tbs I enthusiasm it created. The feature of I the act is Robert Van, a youngster who ' dislocates his neck and apparently • leaves his head swinging as though it was only supported by a cord. The bill as a whole, is a good one and should draw a large business for the park this week. ROYAL. The "Royal uncovered another “hum dinger’’ yesterday and the crowds at SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE THE BIG STORE I each of the four shows looked for all । the world like the winter nights’ at tendance. The surprise of the bill was furnish ed by Miss Alice Hall, the lady hypno tist, who gave a truly remarkable ex hibition of mind over matter. Her sub jects were placed under perfect control | almost immediately and their imagin- I ary stunts kept the audience in an up I roar. Clayton, Jenkins and Jasper compos- ' ■led of two good blackface comedians and । a diminutive mule, have a gem of a ; ; laughmaker in “The Darktown Cir ■ ]cu«,’’ a travesty on the kings and । | queens of the saw dust ring. I The great Almond proved an imper ; senator of the gentler sex and to his ' credit he proved the most finished of , all the artists of this character that have visited us this season. The Great Canaris offered an exhibi- I tiou in magic which had good comedy values besides a splendid lot of illu- I 1 sious. The act has the merit of nov 1 elty as nothing the magic lines this! I season in any way resembles it. 5 Pictures of Copenhagen completed ।; the bill . i | SCHEUER MEYER'S PARK. • i Last night saw the record Sunday . crowd at Scheuerineyer’a. The Ran An- • tonio hand never played better. The concert was of the sacred order, a! ' though it was interspersed with popu I lar airs from popular musical comedy ' and light opera. Quite a number of : | Sunday dinners were indulged in by the guests. The atteudance is encouraging- 1 ly surprising, every evening adds new patrons and when they once come they surely return the visit. Mr. Krimmer # feels himself fortunate in having en ■ gaged the right attraction in the San , 1 Antonio band. Concert every evening 1 from 8 to 11 o’clock 8 . ] IMMENSE THRONGS AT THE STAR. SI ■ - Big business at every Show was done .J by the Star yesterday and at night, lithe management was compelled to put 1 jon an extra show to accommodate the . crowds. One he acts booked in was jnot up to th Star's high standard and . was immedi sly cancelled after their first performance. In their place a a farce comedy “ Hawkshaw. the Detec f five" was put on by Foster Rall i n Jack Mills and was thoroughly onjod y ed. t The Seymour Twins proved a spicn jdid act, introducing acrobatic and con d [ tortion work in a graceful and artistic e । manner. The male member of this act [has an extraordinary muscular develop ment and in some of his work on the Spanish rings, where great strength is required, bulge out to and unbelievable i extent. The double work on the rings it ts the best ever seen in San Antonio. J O S K E’S HUH HYPNIIIISI IS i SIUM The spectacle of two young men, “ making up’ ’ as summer girls are popu larly supposed to no, donning every thing from whalebone armor to the last dainty touch of rouge to lips is one of the screams that result from “sug- gestions'’ made to subjects by Marie Hall, lady hypnotist, at the Royal. While hypnotism has seen a wide vogue in vaudeville circles, it has oc curred to few women to enter the field. Until recently, in fact, the hypnotic industry had been entirely overlqoked by the fair sex. This year saw the debut of Pauline, who appeared on the “big time.’’ at a fabled salary of $l5OO per week and created a riot. Her act showed little that had not been seen before, but the novel sight of a woman directing the movements of a stage full of men and making them "do all sorts of crazy stunts caught on great and Pauline is said to be booked for many weeks in advance. There can he no question that Miss Hall Ims complete control of her sub jects. At all performances yesterday the crowds were thrown into paroxysms of laughter by the stunts of full-grown men were made to do by the superior mind force of this woman. The sub jects were volunteers from the audi ence and invariably left the stage much crestfallen, especially when “brought back’’ wearing a fancy Mother Hiib hard and violently kissing a supposed sweetheart. The woman hypnotist is particularly popillar with women, who never tire of seeing one of their sex dominate the minds of the. supposedly stronger gen der. Little Josephine made a hit with her songs and costume changes— three quick changes being made. Among the many pictures one, “The Branding of the Thief,’’ was made by the Melies company, who have been stationed at Hot Wells for some time. Many of the scenes are readily recognizable to San Antonians and adds greatly to the interest. EL PASO MEN HERE ON THE WAY HOME. Senator C. B. Hudspeth and J U. Sweeney, former mayor of El Paso, spent Sunday in the city, while cn route to their homes in the border city They had been in Austin several days during the past week representing the business element of El Paso in the in surance hearing. THE BIG STORE Bishop Mouzon Preaches First Sermon to Old Parishioners Since Ordination With a congregation that filled the । Travis Park church to the door Suu-1 day morning. Biflhop E. D. Mouzon. delivered his first sermon in Texas since his ordination. In addition to the church proper being crowded, the Sun day school auditoriums were also pack ed with the many friends of the new bishop, who listened attentively to ev ery word of his forceful sermon. Bish op Mouzon.took for his theme, “What is Christianity?” from Acts xi 26. ‘The disciples were called Christians first in ! Antioch.” At the evening service held at the Laurel Heights Methodist church. Bish op Mouzon was greeted by another large congregation, and took for his subject: “Altruism.” He followed the text of his morning sermon and developed his theme by dwelling strongly on .the meaning of the early Christian chureh in the Ro man province, particularly its rise Breakfast Syrup W JX ‘ I The Top and Bottom 1 of a Good Breakfast !
