THE EMPIRE.
High class vaudeville and tabloids.
Matinee 2:45 and evening 8:15, except
Fednesday and Sunday, when there
are two shows at 7:30 and 9:15.
AT THE EMPIRE.
You'll like the bill Manager Dolly is
presenting the last half of the week at
the Empire. It's typical vaudeville,
and one of the surprises is the Empire
trio, young men who made the pro
fessional class through an appearance
on a recent amateur night at the local
vaudeville house. The boys are from
Davenport. They were a big hit last
night, having splendid singing voices
and betraying few traces of amateru
ishness. They are that good that they
have been booked for a trip over the
circuit with which the Empire is identi
fied, and doubtless will be kept con
stantly engaged. The Colonial Mont
rose Troupe consists of seven people,
acrobats extraordinary. They wear
beautiful costumes and work in whirl
wind fashion.- Sigsbee's dogs is about
the cutest act of its kind that' has
been this way the present season. The
other acts, both topliners. are Florence
Modena & Co., in "A Lesson in Re
form," and Barnes and Robinson, sing
ers of popular selections. . .
AT THE COLONIAL.
"Pickles, Art and Sauerkraut. "Jerry
decides that he is a talented and fine
artist. He has great difficulty in get
ting a model, however, as his wife is
very jealous. When she goes .away
on a visit, he gets a very pretty model.
He also lays in a stock of good cigars
and fine wine. His enjoyment is in
terrupted, however, by a woman who
arrived with a baby to care for while
she goes shopping. Jerry and the
model are quarantined when they try
to scare other women away by saying
there is smallpox in the house. The
wife comes home and hears of all the
goings en. Poor Jerry is sorely
troubled but luckily gets out of the
scrape.
"Pickles, Art and Sauerkraut" is
one of the best of comedies. It prom
ises to keep the audience in roars of
laughter at the Colonial theatre today.
