Mitchell has appeared be fore the roost critical audiences in the country, and has never failed to arouse the greatest Interest. His "wonderful powers have been the puzzle of scien tists everywhere, and at the end of their investigations they have been more than ever amazed. In his -work he uses the greatest mechanical inven tion of the age. the auto girL This is a figure which was built under Mr. Mitchell's direction, and when manip ulated by him it deceives the most ob servant into the belief that she is a creature of flesh and blood. This mar velous man is well worthy to lead the great Lyric bill, and his appearance here will go down in the history of local vaudeville as a very Important event. Others on the bill are Fairbanks and Caine, the well-known singing and dancing sketch artists; Gene King and his wonderful trained dog; Casper and Hayes, the clever comedians, in their latest divertisement; John W. "Wood, the talented ballad singer, in his new est illustrated song hit, "Jennie Lee"; Kennedy and Vincent, in their delight ful comedy sketch, and the vltascope, with a feature film which has never before been shown in the West. These are the inducements which are held out for the patrons of the Lyric this coming week, and Managers Keating & Flood are confident that this will be ono of the most successful weeks in the history of tho house. The perform ances today will be continuous from 2 until 10:30 P. M. THE STAR. Popular Home of Vaudeville to Have Excellent Bill. "Foxy Grandpa" is a National char acter, and his engagement with tho two bad boys, which tho cartoonists have made famous, will constitute the feature of tho Star Theater's new programme which opens on Monday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. The Three DeGraus will present a great acrobatic novelty, entitled. "Foxy Grandpa and the Bad Boys." This act can be properly described as a screaming Tarce. because the roar of laughter from the audiences continues to grow in vol ume from the time tho curtain rises until it falls. Another Instance of the undoubted ge nius displayed by tho Star Theater In re taining Its unrivaled hold on top place in the vaudeville world Is shown by tho engagement of Cole Frances Bowers, known as tho girl with the beautiful voice. The exquisite costumes of this cantatrice and her wide repertoire and her wonderful range of voice combine to make her one of tho most striking op eratlc singers on the stage. Arlington and Clyde, two peppery sketch artists, will churn tho minds of the spec tators Into bubbles of merriment. As a laugh-producer, their farce, entitled "Brlc-a-Brac." is rarely equalled. Tipple and Kllment will appear In a new musical act, when melodies of all dc scriptlon will run the gamut from tears to gladness, and carry tho audience back one minute to the Sunny South and next time to the ragtime revels of later days. Two comedy sketch artists have been se lected In tho persons of Gale and "Wins- ley. Their sketch has been O.-ICd by the management as being up to the high grade of entertaining qualities required for this most popular vaudeville theater. A transformation dancer and lightning change artist who appears one minute as a Nautch from India, the next a3 a Span ish dancer, again as a Dutch maiden from the Dikes of Amsterdam, and still again as a beauty of King Charles' court. Is Kitty Stevens. Mis3 Stevens Is one of the few women who has brains and abil ity enough to appear on the stage In a highly successful act without support, and the Star patrons may rest assured that pho will win their approbation In exactly 34 seconds. Illustrated songs will be again pre pented at tho Star, after a lapse of sev eral weeks. In response to a popular demand. Jack Davis Is the new tenor who has been engaged for this purpose, and next week he will be singing "You're the Flower of My Heart. Sweet Adeline." A beautiful colored film, entitled "The Pioneers," which Is a new novelty in projectoscope work, will close the Star's excellent programme. THE GRAND.

"The life of an actress is such a busy one that he or she has not much time to devote to sodai duties and knowing people in a social way.

"Well, in the company playing 'Caste' on that occasion there was a women new to theater-goers. a decided stranger, who was cast for the part of Marquise St. Maur. It was Mrs Gilbert.

Then she became a member of Charles Frohman's company. Bright, Crisp, Clever Comedienne. "You must remember that Mrs. Gilbert entered upon a stage career after the death of her husband. She was left a widow with one child, and had to earn her living. One of her natural gifts was her ability to dance a pretty, little dance, and this little dance was often Introduced la plays where she appeared. Tou see, she had been a ballet dancer, and on the decline of that art on the stage, she was forced to take up something else. She was a natural comedienne, bright, crisp and clever.

"I remember Madame Janauschek when she first came to this country, many years Madame Janauschek, From a Photo Dated 1867, Belonging to Miss Rose Eytlnce. ago. One of her greatest dramatic dual characters was in "a dramatization of Charles Dickens play. 'Bleak House,' in which she played Lady Deadlock and Hor- tense. The parts were quite different. Lady Deadlock was a. cool, patrician Englishwoman; and Hortcnse was Southern Frenchwoman, flery, vindictive Janauschek was about 40 years old before she learned the English language. Pre vious to her arrival in this country she had achieved a great reputation as a German actres3, and the Germans never forgave her for what they called her desertion of them. Janauschek was great actress, and in her presence one forgot her German-English pronuncla tlon. She was not a pretty woman, but will always be remembered for her ami able, pleasant character. It b useless to speak of the various plays In which she has appeared. Suffice It to say that she did her work well.". "Would you say thct the stago has suf fered a great loss In the deaths of Mrs. Gilbert and Madame Janauschek?" quer ied the reporter, as he arose to go. "No," said Rose Eytinge. after thoughtful pause, "art will live after us. These good women have had their trl umphs, their rewards here, and they have had their trials.
