THE YOUNG MAN IS AWAKENED Large Crowd Follows Griffith and His Subject--Turns Them Away. The doorkeepers at the Lyric theater had to turn the crowd back last night because there was not standing room enough in the theater to accommodate mil who came to see. Griffith in his hypnotic performance, and a crowd variously estimated at between 600 and 1000 could not get inside. The crowd gathered first on Main street.

The announcement that young man, who had been sleeping in the show window of the Crawford -Leigh company In the Binz building, would! taken to theater early in the evening, attrate. several hundred people to that location to watch the transfer of the sleeper from his couch in the display parlor to the stage of the Lyric. They cheered the hypnotist when he made his appearance, and watched closely his every movement as he carefully directed the handling of the young man, who since night had been in a deep and slumber. controlled completely by the power of the lty pnotist, directed in all things by tha from Griffith. When thsleeper was brought before the large audience at the Lyrie there was breathless expectancy.

as every movement was given close attention. Then, in company with a committee, Griffith retired to a business house two blocks away and, at the suxgestion of the committee. the sleeper moved his limbs as the hypnotist directed by 1 thought transmission. It caused wonder In minds of some, caused laughter from others and excited Interest in others. Then Griffith returned to the stage and the young man was awakened from his slumber.

-Ho appeared dazed at first as he looked about him. His last memory was of that stage and that theater, but this audience was much larger, and then he had something of a realization that he had been unconscious for some length of time. He stretched himself, answered that were put to him and dethat he felt none the worse for his experience. regular performance WAS given after this. and the large.

audience was well entertained by who were put through various stunts by the hypnotic suggestion. The Griffith comedy company will be at the Lyric again' today for matinee and tonight for another performance. The company expects to finish out the week in this city. SOUR LAKE, Texas, February E.

Richards and Pringle minstrels played at the Auditorium yesterday to a scattering audience on the floor, but to a crowded and enthusiastic audience in the gallery. The performers well deserved the ecstatic demonstration of the evening, for the company, one of the best negro, minstrel, aggregations in the country, set high standard of excellence. While the members do not take lofty rank as serious actors, no minstrels ever do.

Consequently the farce which ended the program was rather superfluous, except for the comedy work of Clarence Powell, Paul Carter and Happy Beauregard. These three kept the audience roaring. The regular minstrel show, which constituted the first part, was interesting: the jokes were good, and nearly some of the music was excellent. 'Common Sense" by Pete Woods and "Never" by Clarence Powell were encored several times. Sidney Kilpatrick has the best voice in the company- -a full tenor of extreme sweetness.

He used it akilifully. In the olio Fred Simpson's, trombone obligato was fairly good; Alonso Moore's magic was as clever as any seen here this winter; Clarence Powell's monologue was funny; John Cooper's ventriloquism was good; the singing was ordinary, and Marsh Craig's acrobatic contortions were little short of wonderful. The ensemble singing was fine: parts were well balanced, and voices were melodious. The orchestra also was well trained; although the drum is at times too heavy for the violin, the effect was unusually excellent. Today and tomorrow the attraction at the Auditorium 1s "Brewster's At the Majestic.

Madame Irma Orbasany's cockatoos are a great hit at the Majestic theater this week. beautiful white birds are well trained that they know just what, they have to do and they go about it without any "bullying" from their preceptress. They roll balls, pick up letters asked for, fire a cannon, killing one of their number, who is removed away in an ambulance. The smaller birds ride in carriages drawn by a larger bird and a the act ends with a pantomime, "'The Shipwreck," in which the captain rings bell for the passengers, who walk up the gangplank with their baggage. He heaves the anchor and other birds sets the sails.

When the storm approaches the sails are furled and the signal gun fired, the cargo being thrown overboard, to lighten the ship, which finally sinks, the crew taking the passengers ashore in 'a lifeboat. One really sits and wonders how birds could be trained to do so many things. It is one of the greatest acts.of the age. The rest of the bill consists of Miss Lin' den Beckwith, "'The Girl in the Golden Thomas Keogh and company presenting a merry farce, "The Ward Heeler:" Mills and Morris, the merry minstrel maids, and Art Misher, instru mentalist and Imitator. People's Theater.

The Payton show at the People's theater is drawing big business. Yesterday, matinee and night, were seen in "The Fatal Rose of Red," a very pretty society drama that seemed to be greatly enjoyed by the two large audiences. The specialties were again a pleasing teature. The company carries enough vaudeville artists to change at each performance, and the patrons are always sure of something new in this line, as well as seeing a new play. The company is giving the highest class line plays ever seen here at popular prices and well deserves the liberal patronage they are recelving.

Tonight the Payton company will produce the sensational melodrama, "In the Power of 444 Next Week at the Majestic. For next week Manager Sturgis of the Majestic theater announces another bill that will be a "corker." The great European sensation, the world's famous Alpine troupe of five has been secured and will present one of the greatest wire acts ever witnessed on a stage. Ellsworth and Burt have a funny sketch called "Domestic Pets, in which some family complications are displayed in true merit. The three troubadours are singers of high class, and Lew Wells, the real funny man, is coming back to entertain with a few jokes and saxaphone selections. The Bowman brothers are well known comedians and Hubert Deveau is a crayon artist.

New pictures will also be shown on on the Majestograph. Press 'Agents' Notices. "WHEN KNIGHTHOOD WAS IN FLOWER." If there is any truth in the saying. "the better the day the better the the fact that Charles Major wrote "When Knighthood Was in Flower' on Sunday may account for the excellence of the book; but the adage does not apply 1 to the presentation of the dramatization, as It will be produced at Auditorium next Saturday, matinee and night, by Miss Anna Day and her excellent company. Mary Tudor, the heroine described in the book as 'a person of womanly perfection, with skin like velvet.

with volce soft and full, and except when angry, which, alas, was not infrequent, had a low coaxing note that made it Irresistable. An adroit pleader, knowing her power full well, she did not always plead, having the Tudor temper. and preferring to command. Miss Anna Day personification of that descriptionreal Mary Tudor. She more than gratifiles the wish of Charles Major, the author, that he might see his heroine in the Miss Day's delineation of the part, is the flesh, for that no more perfect impersonation of Mary could be given on than opinion of many of the most competent critics in the country.

"BREWSTER'S MILLIONS, A SATIRE. (By Stanley C. Arthur in New Orleans Item.) The great third act of "Brewster's MIllions," came of scenic realism It truly turns out to be, is secondary to the sparkling satire the collaborators Witchell Smith and Buron Ongley have made out of McCuteheon's widely read novel. As a comedy it teems with originality; it is bright, witty and smart for the whole four acts- something unusual in a comedy you'll admit. And more than that, its smartness and wit come from a repetition of the same joke throughout the comedy-to-wit, the real humor In witnessing a man intent on turning the cardinal idea of business topsy-turvy.

To get rid of a million! Last night saw staid business men, who have sat through other comedies, and funnier ones, without even smiling, rock in their seats, chortle, get red in the face the troubles and money of Monty Brewster grew when he wanted to get rid of it. Every time Brewster was tipped off to an impossibility and he would plunge on it to lose these staid business men would jump to their feet with a whoop of unconfined joy and a wife frantically tugging at her demonstrative hubby's coat-tails, and when his impossible business ventures would rebound to his credit they would scream with laughter. It is more than likely, on account of the extreme origInality of its plot, that more people who have never laughed at a play before have found the essence of Joy In witness" ing "Brewster's Millions." The bored theater-goer will find something in this play that will jar him into a sense of appreciation, the ditto dramatic critio is hypercritical indeed if he attempts an analysis of the comedy and because it does not measure up to the accepted, condemn it. In its very difference from the regulation comedy lies the abundant strength of "Brewster's and it is ten times a better play than The the book is' a novel. wonderful scenic display in the third act, when the action takes place on the deck of a yacht in midocean, is truly the acme of stage reallarn, but the comedy will still be a winner with this scene left out.

Not that it should, not by any means. It is one of the finest bits of real1gm I have ever seen on a stage, and one can, without the slightest imagine himselt on the deok of the Balt LEVY'S LEVY'S LEVY'S NOW Ft 19 Usual 35c Wash Silks.
