Sweet voiced, little Edna Bunson, with a face as sweet as her voice, captivated a fairly good house at the Gennett theater last night. "The Fortune Teller," as presented last night, contained many new features, all of which were more than good. These, taken in connection with the beautiful score, scenic effects, gorgeous costuming, large and well balanced chorus, together with soloists of. more than ordinary ability, placed "The Fortune Teller" in the front rank of the many good musical comedies, comic operas and beauty shows." Edward S. Metcalf, the basso, was enthusiastically received, and Robt. Lett, Phil Bronson and Herman lleishberg ably sustained the comedy parts. Grace Orr Myers and Grafton Baker shared honors with Miss Bronson in solo and duet numbers. "The Fortune Teller" does not contain a dull line and the enthusiastic applause given last night was proof conclusive that it had won a warm place An the hearts of Richmond theater goers. The "Kids" Are Coming. The absurd doings of the "Katzenjammer .Kids," who will be seen with Blondell -and Fennessy's great musical farce comedy that is to appear at the Gennett theater Thursday evening, February ISth, will, no doubt, be a ' most enjoyable entertainment, if alMs true that has been said about it through the press of the country, and there should be no reasonable doubt, rs this is the fifth successful season for this organization on the rood, which is evidence" enough that it is all what it is claimed to be a musical farce comedy, pure and simple, with plenty of specialties, up-to-date musical numbers, electrical and mechanical effects and a chorous of twenty well trained voices. The question has often been asked as to what it is that makes the minstrel form of entertainment appeal so strongly to all classes of theatergoers and has established it as the most popular of all indoor classes of amusement and recreation. Perhaps the answer is not so hard to give. May the principal reason not lie in the fact that the entire absence of any feature presented being void of any taint of sombreness, mournfulness and gruesomeness, as Avell as the vulgarity and suggestive risqueness so often seen and heard in many other forms of entertainment? Nothing is witnessed in a reputable up-to-date minstrel performance but what appeals to the eye, ear and fancy. Fun, frolic and fantasy mirth, music and mimicry are the component parts of a first class minstrel performance. The time spent in witnessing one of these popular entertainments is a better investment for health and happiness than could be acquired in the money and time given for a half dozen visits from the doctor or a barrel of medicine. The eye is pleased at the sight' of the merry faces, the rich costumes, the elegant furnishings and the elaborate appointments of the first part. The ear is tickled and one's sense of humor is aroused at the bright wit, repartee and jokes of the clever comedians. Laughter, wonder and surprise follow in quick succession in

j witnessing the manv individual specialties rnd collective features preI sented by the different artists com- ; prising the membership of a firstclass company.

No wonder then that the general nublie continue to throng in numbers to witness this popular form of amusement and that interest in it never seems to wane, but always appears to be on the increase, providing only that the public knows that it is going to see the best. This latter requisite and demand of the public is fully appreciated by Mr. San ford R. Ricaby, the capable and experienced manager of the famous West minstrels. Mr. Ricaby has, in the past, given the public the very best in the minstrel line, and his assurances this season are, that his offerings are better, brighter and more meritorious than ever.

vaudeville and are making a big success of their play. All plays and players have their following and are pronounced favorites in their respective sections, but Wood and Ward believe in establishing themselves in all parte of the country so that all may become familiar with them and their excellent company which "is fast becoming a household word in every city. Crisp, bright, new comedy, good scenic effects, strong specialties and a tramp role that is the real tobasco article are some of the qualifications of "A Thoroughbred Tramp." With most theatre-goers a tramp role is popular, but one seldom sees

"Two Merry Tramps" as presented by Wood and Ward is announced by the management as an Indiana rag-time operatic-comedy concoction in three acts hilariously arranged for the sole purpose of creating laughter. Wood and Ward who present their jolly jingling farce, "Two Merry Tramps" here in the near future were before entering the farce comedy field high salaried headlines in

Seo.o&0i&m&. Ttf G?Ar Wcsn Tenor ' a good play Avith a tramp role as the central figure. In this respect "A Thoroughbred Tramp" differes. The piece decidedly ' strong, and the part of the tramp unusually good. "A Thoroughbred Tramp" promises to be one f the cleverest things of the season. Pahxms of the Gennett should not miss the opportunity of witnessing this attraction. This afternoon and tonight. After seeing the "Parl of Pawtucket," there are probably a good many people who will think that Augustus Thomas has wasted his time heretofore in writing such plays as Arizona, meritable as they undoubtedly Ave re in many particulars. The earl Avith his accent and his troubles Avas at the Lyceum theatre last night and it is a matter of congratulation that there avIII be tAo more performances today, for there are really a great many people in the city who Avill enjoy this play to the utmost. A good many of them Avere present last eveningand they enjoyed it immensely. In fact, it Avould be hard to name a single instance where an audience has been so uniformly pleased, and nothing but favorable words Avere heard in the foyer between acts or when the people Avere leaving the house. It is a pretty good sign when the old-timers, the regulars, indorse a performance between whiffs of a cigarette and A-ery often Ave think they should, when they do not. But to return to the Earl. There are times Avhen a performance in eA-ery respect is satisfying; in the dialogue, in the plot, in the acting and in the stage setting and accessories. Those Avho saAV John Hare in "The Gay Lord Quex" Avill remember this sensation. It is enough to say that it was duplicated Inst ni"M. This may seem extrava'"v. It is an . individual opinion but the audience in a Avay indorsed it and the times when the critic and the audience are in entire accord are so seldom that it is a pleasure to register the fact. "The Earl of Pawhieket" is the best thing Thomas ever wrote, or not to be ambiguous, the best comedy he ever wrote; and he is the best Avriter of comedy in America Avithout an exception. Again extravagance may be ehan-ed, as this is equivalent to saying that the "Earl of Pawtucket" is about the best comedy ever written by an American author. "But really it strikes the present Avriter in that light. From the most superficial point of view, there is nothing to complain of in the piece. Njot a dull moment can be found, the technique is naturalness itself and to enumerate all the good points would be to dwell minutely on each separate-scene and line. If is a remarkably clean, amusing and witty play, one that is a pleasure to praise and an even greater pleasure to witness. It does not, to be sure, sparkle with the flickering Avit of Wihhv but it has not the labored effects of his stuff; it does not glorify the society woman as the plays of Fitch nor satirize them nor bring them into impossible situations. There seems to be more of the quality of Pinero in this piece, but with a difference; at least, Pinero might have written it had he lived in America-Memphis Appeal.
