THE THEATRE Mr. Francis Eaton, representing the 'Derthick Federation of Musical Lit erary Clubs. bas been in Lincoln this week. This organization seems to be a praiseworthy one. devoted to the extension of musical knowledge. Its purposes seem to be the peiformance of such works of the greater masters as can he readily reached by musicians. with analyses and explanations in lec ture form. If its scope can be broad ened so as to The Faust Brothers company, which has sixMil the week at the Funke. has played to unmerited light business. They present a melange of music, dancing, tumbling and pantomimic gyrations that is very amusing. In the scene where, two funny little men dressed in blacksmall clothes and with their hair eoiffured into peaks at the top and side of their heads they bring to mind Cruikshank's illustrations of Dickens and their silent leaps and turns are as facinating as Sum Wel ler's accomplishments. The company Ls English, which accounts for its fla vor of holly and Christmas panto mime. The bell ringing is most me lodious. Little Ruby has leen well trained. She does her songs with elf like comKsure and effect. The mus cles of the whole company are like steel blades made in Cordova. They can tie themselves into a bowknot with no fear of breaking. This is the end of the week and this praise can therefore do the Faust Brothers no good. By the time they are ready to return to us we may know enough to tseat them better. f fi& s w OLH OLKr.O.V. rider "The o reach not merelv profes- to New York where they have bee :iansand competent ama- 'Kceat Koster and Bial's for Ole."
