bouquets for his pains. This boy is
really a wonder. 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.

GREAT INTEREST
OVER JEFFRIES
Report that Flflhtor Had Fallen and
Broken His Arm Spread Like Wild
Fire Over the Entire Country,
Stirring Up Fnns.
NEW YORK, March 30. James J.
Jeffries is a "national character.'
That is the conclusion of a number
of newspaper men who yesterday an
swored nuxitfus inquiries about the
big fightor until the United Pros
succeeded in getting an authoritative
denial from the retired champion Into
in tho afternoon, declaring that he
had mot with no accident vhile
hunting in the Tcchnpi mountains.
Although tho story that the fight
er had broken his arm ui a tall from
a wagon was circulated merely as a
rumor, it was enough to stir up the
fight fans in nil parts of tho coun
try. United Press offices were bo-
sieged with inquiries and newspaper
throughout tho cast received thou
sands of telephone calls from sport
followers who asked about Jeffries
reported accident.
When the United Press authorita
tively denied that any accident dad
occurred and rcKrted that Jeffries'
arms were in good condition and
that ho felt like using them on the
man who started tho report of his
injury, thoro was general relief
throughout tho sporting world.
Eastern fight followers were wild
ly oxcited over the report nnd wait
ed anxiously, in spite of tho fact
that Jeffries' business partner dis
credited the story, until n statement
enmo from the big fellow himself.
