"The Great Triple. Alliance" nt the 4 Leroy, Fox and Powell, the three mader the name of The Great Triple Alliance." give exhibitions of slelght-of-hand tricks and spectacular Illusions that almost rival those of Herrmann and Kellar for cleverness. The performance is divided Into three parts. In the first the three exponents of the "black art" individually and collectively display their remarkable ability to' deceive the eye by swift movements of the hand. A multitude of mystifying and diverting Illusions follow each other In rapid succession. After the intermission a series of stood vaudeville acts follows, the most entertaining of which Is the musical turn of Lelllott, Busch and .Lelllott, who furnish ample proof of their right to the title conferred upon them In the programme "Merry Monarchs of Melody. Bertha De Vere springs on the .audience one of the heaviest baritone voices ever heard to issue from a female throat. Charles Marines gives an excellent shadowgraph pantomime. The vaudeville .portion of the performance concludes with a highly sensational ttiple bar exhibition by Zazelle and Vernon. The entertainment concludes with a more elaborate demonstration of feats of magic than was given In the first part. This portion of the entertainment is itself subdivided into three parts called, respectively, hypnota. the magic waters and burning enigma The first Is Kellar and Herrmann's well-known ievitation." differing f.om it in the fact that Leroy, Fox and Powell have the assistance of blinding electric lights placed In front of the table on which lies the girl tvho is to apparently rise in the air without any help. The magic waters is the most mystifying and amusing of the three. A seemingly empty washtub Is filled with water. Immediately followtng which live ducks appear swimming about In the tub. coming from no one knows where. In the burning enigma a young lady is seen lying on a table surrounded by cowled figures hftlrtlnr tnrrh - Ono nf fha moo-lsstin throws over her a cloth, the figures groan, the lights dance about fantastically, the cloth is jerked quickly away and a skeleton has taken her place. The cloth being placed over the ghastly object and again removed, the girl reappears, attended by a. demon, who stands over her in a threaterdng attitude. Magician Harry Kellar came over from Frankfort, Ind., yesterday afternoon to see the "Triple Alliance" and expressed the opinion that they are as clever as any In the business. "The Great Triple Aliiance" remains at the Park the rest of the week, with dally matinees. ' Gay MasqaerRders nt the Empire. The performance of "The Gay Masquerders," who began a three-days engagement at the Empire Theater yesterday alternoon, opens with a burletta entitled Hotel de Cake Walk." In which the entire company is introduced, and closes with a satire on the Philippines. In both burlesques a dozen or more young women of various types of beauty appear. Mabel Harrison has the center of the stage with Margie Tebeau. Bes3ie Stantjn, who suc cessfully makes herself up to represent Anna Held, is also a striking figure in the opening burlesque. It hasn't much of a plot but furnishes an opportunity for comedy work on the part of a tramp, a policeman and a countryman. Following the "Hotel de Cake Walk." Miss Lillian Durnbam heads the olio with a phenomenally high woprano voice, which langes from F to high E. An exceptionally clever musical team. Swlfc and Huber. follows Miss Duroham. In this act they Introduce, among other novel tie, the singing dog. -Blootch." George Daily and Hariett Vckes have an eccentric comedy sketch. rd Hanly and Jarvis appear as "sidewalk" comedians. The acrobatic act of Carlos and VoulettI won a great deal of applause cn account of its daring and novel character. Th- comedy work of Brown, Harrison ar.d Brown was pronounced as excellent by the ciowd, this trio Introducing some entirely new features in their act. The olio winds up with a series of vitascope pictures of the JerTrles-Hharkey tight. A novel feature of the closing burlesque was the poslrg of Bessie Stanton under vari-colored . lights. Same artistic effects were shown. "The Gay not vide is" will to here iho rest of the week, with

daily matinees. Next week there Is a double bllL the "Imperial Burlesquers" and the "City Sports." Notes of the Stasce. , Maude Adams presents "The Christian" at English's the first half of Christmas week beginning Christmas day. John Drew in "The Liars" Is the attraction for the latter half of the same week. A glaring faux-pas in scene painting at the Grand this week Is completely lost sight of by the cleverness of the members of the stock company. In the race scene, in the fourth act of "The Jilt," almost the entire track is shown on the "drop" at the rear of the stage. The audience somehow falls to notice that the horses never cover the "back stretch" In the race, so skillfully is the excitement kept at fever heat by the actors. .Maude Adams, who Is starring with pecuniary success as Babble. In "The Little Minister., has an eye for business that Is surpassed by few. Some time ago. when It was announced that she was threatened with consumption and would have to abandon her tour, temporarily at least, she really desired an excuse to get back East, where she had received tempting offers. The very night of the day on which the direful news was promulgated by her press agent, the shrewd little woman played In Boston. However, she is under definite contract to appear at English's Christmas week, and it is scarcely probable that she will evade the issue another time. The real reason for Stage Director Brooke's palpable embarrassment at-the Grand, Monday night, has leaked out. Soon after his first appearance upon the stage as Myles O'Hara in "The Jilt." It Is the uuty of Tom Reynolds, who plays Geoffrey Tudor, to burst suddenly upon the scene and excitedly exclaim, "it's all right, O'Hara." However, Mr. Reynolds became a trifle involved in the meshes of Irish nomenclature and thoughtlessly blurted or4, "It's all right, O'Urauy." This was toe much for the delicate bensibilitlcs of the precise tage manager, und In his vexation at thought of being called "O Grady he halted in the reading of his lines quite noticeably several times. ine women of Victorien Sardou's plays are usually of the variety that make things lively whenever a fit of passion strikes them. This Is probably the secret of their marvelous success, when given proper Interpretation. Sarah Bernhardt and Fanny Davenport have both succeeded in portraying the fiery temperaments of "Fedora," "La Tosca". and "Gismonda," and now comes Blanche Walsh as a worthy successor. Sue will appear In all three play, with stalwart, handsome Melbourne McDowell as her leading man, at English's, Dec. 11, 12 and 13, with a matinee on the last day (Mcdnesday.) Mr. McDowell's virile style of acting, when he supported Miss Davenport, is still fresh in the minds of those who saw him a few seasons ago. Those In search of diversion next week will find plenty of it at English's. For the first three days Blanche Walsh and Melbourne McDowell, supported by an excel

lent company, will present Fanny Daven port's great plays. "Fedora," "La Tosca" and "Glsmonda." "La Tosca" will be the bill Monday night and Wednesday matinee. "Gismonda" Tuesday night and "Fedora" Wednesday. nihL Immediately following the WalshMcDoweil engagement "Shore Acres," a play of perenr.la. freshness and bfnuty, comes for one night only, Thursday. This is the piece which James A. Hearne made famous, both as author and actor. The week at English's will come to a tilting close with Dan Daly and "The Rounders," of which much has been heard since its first success In New York, and its triumph recently In Chicago. "The Rounders" will be here Friday and Saturday nights, Dec. 13 and 16. . What is luck? This is a question about which much has been said and written. Li-ibler & Co., the New York theatrical managers, are in a position to answer the query. At present they control three pronounced successes, James A. Hearne's "Sag Harbor." Viola Allen and "The Christian ' and James O'Neill, the well known repertoire actor. Ail of these enterprises are pouring a golden stream dally into the coffers of the firm that stands behind them, it has been definitely settled that they will be the sole attraction at Hammerstein's new theater, the Republic, for the entire season next year. When "The Christian" hall have been withdrawn. If at all. It will be succeeded by an as yet unnamed play by F. Marion Crawford. Lorimer Stoddard, who put "Tess of the d'llrbcrvllles" In shape for Mrs. Fiskc to produce, will adapt Mr. Crawford's play for Miss Allen. Mrs. Leslie Carter's Illness and the consequent stoppage of "Za-Za" were the topics of discussion among a group of newspaper men and theatrical managers In this city a few evenings ago. The business director of a company that was playing here at the time gave the Interesting Information that Mrs. carter Is stingy. "Why," said he, "she won't pay one of ber company a day's salary unless they work. When she took sick she bundled every one of them off to New York post haste to avoid paying them for Idle time." This brought tue statement from another Of the group that Nat Goodwin Is of the same bent of mind. "When Goodwin was Indisposed In Cincinnati one time," said this man, "he docked every one of his people Just because they couldn't give a performance." The New YorK Morning Telegraph contradicts the . story about Mrs. Carter's stinginess, saying that she really sent her company to New York to spend Thanksgiving, paying the expenses out of her private purse.
