ORISKANANCY INNJS, GLADYS STRATTON ANE- * -EMPIRE THEATRETh© daintiest, moat artistic conceit yet offered as diversion to patrons of vaudeville house* in Boston will bo seen at th© Empire Theatr© th© coming week, under tho tilt© of The Queen’s Fan. This operetta possesses every element which might lend Itself to the popularity and success of the production, Its catchy all#, Its bright lyrics, its beautiful scenery and costumes and its bewitching, gifted young women all sharing in tho general success which Is assured in advance. The music is by A. Baldwin Sloane, and the lyrics are among the brightest yet delivered by George TottenSmith.It is a delightfully interesting little plot, which is worked out musically, and three more gifted young women for its exploitation could hardly have been selected for the leading parts than Miss Oriska Worden, Miss Adel© Archer and Miss Lucille Georgi. Th© story is of a remarkable fan, given by Louis XIV. to his ^queen. Two fair ladies and a gallant * page, painted on its exquisite silk, were supposed to come to Ilf© between 11 and 12 o’clock on the night of each anniversary of the gift. The minute they come to life there follows a series of musical protests, appeals and denunciations, for it seems that the fan painter hae made the most unfortunate mistake of depicting the page kneeling at the feet, not of fols beloved, but of her rival. While they are carrying on their bickerings the clock strikes 12 and back they go to their places on thefan.Among the other attractions which lend themselves to an entertainment of flrst-class order will be Edwin Keough, a comedian who won his name in the legitimate, who will be seen In A Vaudeville Sur-prlce”; the Ten Ichl troupe of Japanesewonder-workers, who must positively endtheir engagement at the end of the week, after having provided magical entertainment of a most bewildering nature; Gray and Graham, dealers alike in comedy and music; Doherty’s poodles, Intelligent, cunning little canines; Harry B. Lester, who Is a valuable contributor to any vaudeville bill, in his bright monologue; Silverin and Emerie, exponents of what athletes can do; Welsh and Este, travesty artists, and several other strong features, not forgetting the vitagraph.E oftthsThkncozwiiisforbigthsw YSOItrstuidagothlt;In [tiefa'ce: frlt; T Y novainAxcoCl]mintoccofaipcwmPlt;aa iwrladlEKCa!irsiCin
