For the past few seasons these three pretty girls and two young men have appeared with musical comedies, of which their act has always been one of the big hits. Many of their selections are taken from the productions with which they have been connected and the whole act is like a breeze from a musical comedy.

"MAN'S ENEMY" TO BE OFFERING AT EMPRESS The title of the play, "Man's Enemy," to be given next week at the Empress Theatre may cause the thinking person to speculate as to what is "Man's Enemy." Nearly everyone of the present day will admit the truth of the statement that "drink" Is man's greatest enemy, and the effect of It Is presented vividly ln a drama of four acts and eight magnificent scenes. "Man's Enemy'' was originally produced at the Princess Theatre.

London, and then at the Academy of Music, New York. It has never lost Its potency, as It is on tour in England today. The plot is laid in London at the start and tells of Robert Damcr. a young man of family, good principled at the start, but l.ke hundreds of young men around us, wanted to see the night life of the gay city. Dazzled and fascinated by the excitement of it all, he soon falls Into the tolls of Kate Wilde, a dashing woman of the underworld.

He has been betrothed to Grace Milton, his father's ward, but Ignores his promises to her and marries Kate Wilde, who has entagled him for the sole purpose of securing through him his father's money. Rut Robert Darner, having started on the downward path, soon becomes a slave to liquor, and cast off by his father, is tossed aside by the scheming Kate. Lower and lower In the social scale he sinks until he Is a pitiable example of the curse of drink. When it seems that he must die ln the gutter, Grace Milton, the girl he rejected, seeks him, and under her Influence he painfully starts anew in life. The play ends happily, as it is discovered that Ka Wilde had a husband when she ried Robert Darner.

As a moral and an object lesson of the effects of drink, "Man's Enemy" should be seen by everyone. The first act starts at Kate Wilde's gambling palace, London, showing the excitement, the meretricious brilliancy, the Beduc tive sparkle of the life that kills. Here are seen the habitues, including men about town, the foreign adventurers. Count Zittelll, Adolphe Debonpount and their ilk, as well as the girls that are used to decoy them. The second act takea place ln Monte Carlo, picturing the well known Casino and grounds.

A very thrilling situation ln this act Is a duel with pistols. The third act contains many scenes, among them a well known London square and a perfect production of a London lodging house ln the slums. The fourth act will present a magnificent English country seat, Darner Hall, and ln striking contrast, a garret in London. The char acters are very exacting and will test the ability of the company to the utmost. iKabelle Fletcher will appear as Kate wilde, the fascinating adven turess, and the role will be a departure from those she usually appears in, but It will give her splendid opportunities for acting.

Charles Ayres will deolct the drink sodden Robert Darner, while Mcta Marsky. V. T. Henderson, Teddy McNamara. Chauncey Southern, Muriel Vain.

Tilly Armstrong, Louis Von Welthoff, Frank McQuarrle, D. M. Dunbar and the balance of the company will oil atmeap J'1Ti' powerful play and should be seen by an. "THE FLYING DREADNOUGHT" AT THE PANTAGES Abounding in popular melody, spark unfiling comedy, and catchy singing and dancing numbers. "The Flvlnir 1'iraanougni, a condensed musical comedy In three scones, will be nre snnted by Arthur Lavine and company as the feature of the new bill opening at the Pantages Theatre, with the usual matinee on Monday, May 87.

The comedy is a burlesque on Wellmun and Cook In their efforts to reach the North Pole, and It Is said to be full of amusing Incidents and funny situations. Two clever dancers, a chorus of pretty singing girls, a funny German comedian, a baby pig and an airship, surrounded by pretty scenery, depicting the different scenes embraced in the plot of "The Flying Dreadnought," is a portion of the frolics that heip while away the time consumed In this vaudo vllle tour from Coney Island to the North Pole. Another feature of tho new bill which should make a big hit with Pantages audiences Is the offering of tho Ernest Alvo Troupe of comedy aerial bar acrobats, a trio of clever performers la a side splitting routine of comedy and sensational antics on the horizontal bars. A welcome change from the usual "song and dance team'' Is provided In the act of Le Roy and Cuhlll. man, who Is of an engagingly youthful appearance, has a voice of unuBual vol unie.

Ho possesses no small amount of histrionic ability as well, which will be much ln evidence In his singing of "dope aongs," showing the various stages whereby devotees of the "silken poppy' enter the lotus land of forget fulness. Miss Cahlll Is the girl who Is referred to by eastern critics as the "s.nger and entertainer de lux," com b.nlng a pretty face with a charming personality. Le'Roy and Cahlll are featuring the late song hits, "Trolley Car Swing." "Music With My Meals," and "One Like Pa Had Yesterday." The Royal Italian Four, Americas flOlX with lOl Ranch Wild The Slou Indians with the 101 ftanch Wild West Show, which pitches its tents flt Tlecreation Park the coming: Wednesday for two days' engagement, are reported to be alternately jubilant and depressed. When the sun shines they joyous and contented; when the skies are dark and threatening, or the rain "falls, they are dejected, for they feel that they have lost favor with the Sun God. There is a big congress of Indians with the 101 Ranch show, and they have been selected from various tribes.

The Sioux, however, are the only ones who worry particularly about the weather. Perhaps pride, as well as superstition, has something to do with it. There are thirty six Sionx Indians ln the congress of red men, and they joined the show at the opening performance in Los Angeles. They came direct from the Pine Ridce agency. Their event was a big thing for the other Indians.

They wore new blankets and their war bonnets had new and brilliantly dyed feathers in abundan e. Their bead ornamentation was also indicative of high standing in the most aboriginally fashionable. circles of Sioux society. The Poncas, the Cheyennes. the.

Moreover, before they would pass through the entrance into the Wild West enclosure they Insisted on going through a mysterious ceremony and placating the Sun God. In this way, Ijone Feather, one of the chiefs declared, the show would be sure of getting sunshine and warm weather. That night the rain fell ln torrents and nearly submerged the show lot and the Indian village. The next day there was another appeal to the Sun God. Since that time, there has been rain with annoying frequency.

Among the Indians with the 101 Ranch show are three families of blanket weaving N'avajos. They are an agricultural people. They enjoy the rain for the sake of their crops at home. The Sioux have discovered this, and when It rains they think the Navajos have been successfully petitioning the Rain God for a downfall of water. Hence there Is a strained feeling between the representatives of the two tribes.

They refuse to mingle, and It requires all the diplomatic arts of Joseph C. Miller, the head of the show, and one of the owners of Miller Brothers' famous 101 Ranch at Hliss, Oklahomo, to prevent a sanguinary Indian war. The Indian congress with the show Is described as one of Its most Interesting incidental features. The In rantagea Next Week. i vii xavic MiyRir.Ar.
