BARROWS-LANCASTER CO.---In "Thanksgiving day." Three men and a woman. I cannot speak too highly of this sketch. It is written in Mr. Day's best style, and the work of the four people is all equally good. The smallest detail as to props, etc., is attended to in a way seldom seen in Vaudeville. The comedy is funny, and wholesome, and the pathos is natural. Their own scenery. 26 minutes, full stage. GEO. EVANS---Big advance applause, although it was late. This man went as well as ever, and made his usual hit. It is an awful salary, but his immense popularity is unquestionable. 20minutes, full stage. MANNING'S ENTERTAINERS---A corking good finish that held the audience to the end. The trick stuff is good and funny, and the tumbling very good. 15 minutes, full stage. FLEMEN & MILLER---I engaged those people man and woman, in place of Columbia 4, and while nothing wonderful, they do a neat act of singing and talking. 12 minutes in one. Good three show act. Well dressed. KINETOGRAPH---"An Inexperienced Chaffeur." Very funny. "The Night before Christmas." Good for the youngsters. NOTE---This is a great show from start to finish, and on its merits ought to do a big business. I am afraid, however, it is too near Christmas. Lindsay Morison
