INTERNATIONAL THEATRE CHICAGO.

The business done at the International Theatre since W. S. Cleveland assumed charge, has broken all records among Chicago theatres. The return to “greater vaudeville” which made the International famous during the time Mr. Cleveland had it. has brought the Manager’s friends and patrons back, as well as thousands of new ones, and the house has again become firmly established as the most popular Vaudeville Theatre in the city. Mr. Cleveland has secured at a great expense, “Le Domino Rouge” “the girl in the red domino” and she will not be seen elsewhere in America before she returns to Paris. Her production, together with her retinue of servants, supporting cast, scenery, mirrors, etc., requires to transport two sixty-foot baggage cars, a dining case car, her carmine-red compartment palace car, and one sleeper. They will leave New York March Ist, coming direct to Chicago, by special train for her engagement at the International the week of March sth. Le Domino Rouge was the reigning sensation of Paris, and the amusement event of the year in New York, where she appeared all last spring, summer and fall. She is a wonderful dancer, and the mystery surrounding her identity is made complete by the fact that she always wears a red mask both on the stage before her “mystic mirrors” and on the street as well. On the same bill will be seen the eight English Shetlands, the remarkably artistic troupe of dancer. May Ward, known as the sprightliest girl in Vaudeville; Weedon’s Lions from the Cirque De Hiver, Paris, in startling tricks; The Garnellas, eccentric comedy acrobats, and Madame Oterio, Mexican Operatic Prima Donna; Maggie Cline in new repertoire; Bertha Allison, and the six Musical Cuttys have been re-engaged for the present week. The Bioptiscope with new motion pictures completed a wonderful bill.
