. . . , : : : : : : . ii 1M Is3 nr i Archie liord'v ltoimrtw. Archie Boyd, the eminent actor, now Blurring a Uncle Nat. In James A. Heine's "Shore Acres," Is regarded by I many of his friends as a premier wit, t least Jn repartee. Unfortunately, go much depends upon tl.e H'-yd man ner and Inclination, " t of hi witticisms lose their cri.Wrst flavor when conveyed to the types.- Evetiy do not t-em lo tare for n .v. SCENE iFKOM this one loses something In print. As Mr. Boyd approached a gioup of ac quaintances on Broadway recently, he heard the name of an actor, whom he knew to have been ailing last season, upoken, as he thought, in tone of sym pathy. What?" said he, Is "B dead?" "Oh, no;" was the reply, "he's Just fceen married." "Oh, well, that's not instantly fa tal," was the quick rejoinder, with a queer little emphasis on the 'instant ly." Mr. Boyd will be here with Jas. A. Heme's "Shore Acres," In the role of "Uncle Nat," Wednesday, January 27, at the Steward, ' The raMlmo. The Cliffords are still the he.id llners at tho Pastime. Their sensa tional escapes from the trunks and boxes are sufficient to mystify nil who see them. Last evening they succeeded in escaping from the packing bos fur nished by the Peoples store. Their work Is so rapid that It n-r:lred less time to escape from the box th:in It did for the committee to nail up the box. The Cliffords do not furnish all the entertainment by arry mei'.n. though It mut be. admitted that they are the erownins attraction. The mo tion pictures are up to the average and J XV.-'.fi'1 - 9 . ; ARCHIE BOTD AS "UNCLE M.. , X .

At any "SHOUK ACItES;' AT THE STEWAP knock-out blows or a ten-foot fall or two. They surely arc the fastest knock-about. team to yet appear in La flrande. It would be almost Impos sible to tell Just what they did, be cause they did so much and did It so rapidly that the ordinary individual would have considerable difficulty in keeping track of their actions. The Smiletta Sisters did some very clever acrobatic stunts and juggling and slack wire feats, wihch made a decided hit with the audience. This evening the bill will Include Albert Hadlcy, the character change artist. ' . ' NAT IN "SHOF.E ACRES." V V "',' .'i'M'-i'J , .iuMtllilno.rt I.I. ' '-jf. ( V$. ' 1 TI:..
