NEW YORK SHOW, WEEK OF AUGUST 22nd.--2.

SRR 2 GEORGE EVANS.--There is no use in talking, this fellow simply got them better this afternoon than any other black face we have had on our stage as long as I can remember. He has lots of new material sandwiched in with some of the best of his old stuff, and his fine singing voice was used to the best possible advantage. He made a pronounced and distinct hit. The salary, of course, is very high, but in these perilous times we can overlook that if the act makes good. 22 minutes in one.

Lucie & Viate.--Two very pretty girls in a wire act, something like that of the Meers Sisters. A very pretty sight act, but short. 7 minutes, full stage

HR 3 BIOGRAPH.--The feature again this week being the "Personal" picture that has been such a feature with us and introducing also a representation of the "Fighting the Flames" production at Coney Island. A good selection of views. 20 minutes in one.

S. K. HODGDON.
