He has beau studying with Mrs. Andrews less than six months, aud yot tho quality of tono that he has developed can truthfully bo said to be in tho Scotti nnd Campnnerie class. Of course, William is yet a boy and his voice at present is only a hint of what it will be when he is well into his twen ties, but should he follow a musical career und continue his studies there is no reason why he might not be in the front rank of the great baritones. A scene from the first act of "Birds of a Feather" was given by Ed Andrews, Henry Qunson, Art Burgess and Mrs. Ed Andrews, who, by the way, looked quite the little maid. Mrs. Andrews on tho stage and off tho stage is decidedly two distinct persons. Sho plays her part at home as well as sho does behind the footlights. There is no wonder that Ed wears the smile that won't come off. As to Burgess, Qunson and Andrews, when they get on the wigs and grease point they always! deliver tho goods. They have never yet disappointed on audience. Kelley with his "Fable in Slang" was really enjoyable. Mr. Kelly 1b always entertaining and would make good running mate for Andrewb and Burgess, in their comedy stunts. We would like to givo special mention to the ladies and little onus who took part in the tableans, as they deserve individual mention. Suffice it to say that the sweet little faces that come and went charmed the audience and the beauty of the young ladies under the glaro of the light made many a young fellow catch his breath. Girls, you are charming in sunlight, moonlight or electric light. The following were the illustrated advertisements: "Cream of Wheat," by Mr. How ard and Mrs. Gale's child. "Flaxon," by Inex Hoyt.
