Large Crowd Witnessed Gayety’s Fine Program.

A packed house greeted the performance last Tuesday night, given gala week vaudeville artists. The attractions consisted of numbers by Lester and Moure in their delightful singing and dancing acts, Marie Obermeyer, and Nellie Claird, the singing comediennes, and a song by Mrs. Kleist The feature of the evening was the Pirouette dance by the little Misses Helen and Maudie Reynolds. The dance was novel to Rensselaer theatre goers and the beauty of the dance and the grace with which it was executed had a very pleasing effect on the audience. That the people appreciated -the work of the little misses was well shown by the liberal Applause bestowed upon them. Tonight Reynolds and Donegan will head the Gayety bill with their great skating act, the same one that was presented before the king and queen of England in Buckingham Palace, during the Coronation ceremonies. The skating act be well supported tonight by the entire program as printed, except the Hufford and Chain team, who will come Thursday.; Flo and Wynn will go on tonight and will be here with their act for the entire week. To add to the success of the “headline” act for tonight and Thursday afternoon and night, Mr. and Mrs. A 1 Kleist will be assisted by several dther musicians, who came today. The orchestra will consist of seven pieces. Judging from the way the audience’ enjoyed the show last night, one would surmise that the comediennes have made a decided hit since coming here.
