Vaudeville at New Phillips. One of the best bills seen at the New Phillips this fall is being presented this week by Manager Murray. The feature act is Creo, the creation of woman out of wood, plaster and cloth. This unique novelty would be worth the admission if the bill contained no other act. It is a marvel of the illusionist's art. A plain wooden tripod Is placed in the center of the stage over a sheet of steel to show that a trap door is not employed. On this tripod a plaster bust is placed. The face of the statuette is painted the proper life-like tinge and the tripod Is dressed in a woman's garb. A wig is next placed on the plaster skull and the dresses are held aside to show that no living woman is concealed behind them. After this work has been comppleted the statue, . speaks and then walks to the footlights, a living, breathing being. The Davenports open the bill with a

producing manager, is said to have made a distinct and emphatic hit again this season. He is playing the low comedy part of Picadilly in '"Captain Careless" and on account of his appreviated statue, is an excellent foil for John E. Henshaw, the star. "Captain Careless" with its original cast of eighty people and three carloads of scenery, will be presented here at the Gennett next Saturday, matinee and night. '

"The Earl and the Girl." Gennett Among the notable attractions which will be seen at the Gennett next Monday night is "The Earl and the Girl" with the original New York Casino Theatre cast, including Eddie Foy, Harry B. Lester, Elsie Moore, Zelma Rawlston, Nellie McCoy and eighty-two others. This clever musical play has had a run of over two years in London and nearly two lum dred nights in New York.

i patron. " The opening, "A Female

Seminary, is a bright travesty on the great Broadway success, "The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown," which introduces an unusually large array of bright and clever entertainers, and a chorus of twenty-five fascinating maidens. The vaudeville department comprises such well known art'sts as Schuster and Vass, "The Kostier Boys," direct from the coast, Byrne, West and Kenyon, and extreme singing and musical novelty, Adams and Edwards, the funiest comedy sketch in vaudeville, Lillian Jeanette, the petite and winsome soubrette late with Jonny Ray's "A Hot Old Time" company, and Allen and Monroe, the great acrobatic wonders, and Burk and Urline, the Automobile Girls. "Fun in the Subway" is tha closing burletta, guaranteed to be the greatest laught producer before the public.

some fortunate portion of the play- ' loving public.
