SHOW IS WELL
WORTH SEEING
Tho entertainment which was given
at Elks hall laat night by the DantO
Durwood company was about tho best
of its kind ever given in Skagway and
deserved a far larger audience than
waa present. Patrcms of the play
house in Skagway have been "stung"
so many times that they are chary
about putting on thedr glad rags and
going to the "show." But the Donte
Durwood troupe furnish an excellent
ecL*rlalnment and li is to he hoped
that a large house views the perform
ance tonight.
Rrank Dante is an exceptionally
clever conjurer. He has a pleasing
stage presence and his lllusionistic
feats keep the audience mystified at
all stiiges of the game. His Simla se
ance- was a marvelous bit of work an
funny expressions of surprise wreath
ed the faces of Messrs: Kern, Pntten
and FYiedenthal, who examined the
cabinet and apparatus used and tied
!>ante in the chair. While so con
fined he rang bells, blew a horn, un
tied knotted handkerchiefs and did
ether mysterious tvlcks, while he was
always seen bound hand and foot
when the curtains were pulled away.
T*earl Ardyne proved a graceful
o4d clever dancer. She Is an artist
in her line- and her buck and wing
dancing and clog steps were the best
seen in Skagtown for lo, these many
moons.
Baby Pamsy, the child actress, won
the hearts of the audience. She Is
a dainty fettle miss, and as clever as
she Is pretty Her Oriental imper
sonations and songs are remarkable
for a child of her years.
The moving pictures were very
clear and Interesting. Some very In
teresting films will be run off tonight
Everybody last night was well pleJS
ed with the show and there should be
a big crowd tonight. A number who
mw the performance last night will
be on hand again this evening. The
curtain will go up at 8:30. Tickets
are oa sole at BrKt's.
