At the Gayety theater this week "The Twentieth Century Maids" will show their two-act vehicle, "All in Fun.," headed by that fun maker, Jim Barton, in the role of Box Car Ben nie. an escaped .lunatic, and the role is one of the best comedy ever es sayed by him. From a beauty stand point the show must assume first rank among burlesque attractions. A large amount of money has been ex pended on the scenic appointments, and five beautiful scenes to furnish environments for the first act and seven even more elaborate ones make the second act beautiful. The same elaborateness in detail and the same extravagance has been maintained In the costume creations. The chorus is unparalleled as an organization of beauty, speed and ability, ioday s matinee starts at 3. Beginning tomor row there will be a ladies' matinee daily all week.

Lottie Mayer and Her Nymphs at New Krug Park All Week New Krug park will retain Lottie Mayer and her diving "Nymphs" for this week as the big special feature act. Thousands went to the park last week to witness this feature and many were heard to exclaim, "why didn t I learn to swim and dive as do those girls?"

Inside of a year Lottie Mayer was the pride of her class in physical development and could outswim and outdive any member of her class. At the end of two years she had become so proficient in the art of swimming that she entered several amateur matches and carried off the honors with ease. Today she stands the foremost lady swimmer of the United States and holds the world's long distance record. This hi?, free attraction will be given fcach evening of the week at 10:30 at New Krug park, as well as the physical culture dancing by the company on the large platform erect ed on the park lawn.
