Gautier's dogs are justly billed as the principal attraction of the «T. C. Williamson International Vaudeville Co., which is at present drawing large audiences to the Grand Opera House, but their claims are scarcely superior to those of the many other brilliant turns which comprise the entertainment. These clever animals perform stunts, both original and amusing, and are almost human as a gang of bricklayers working under strictly union conditions. Lifelike animal imitations are the forte o£ Imito, whose reproductions, made from the throat, are little short of wonderful. Elroy reveals herself as a trim little lady with a penchant for tying herself into knots with the utmost grace and facility. Katrina and Joan are a pair of exceedingly graceful dancers in a turn much above the ordinary. Van Dock does lightning cartoons, "right off tho reel," and Marie- Moore sings refined ditties at the piano. Maxim Brodi has a beautiful tenor voice, which, with the accompaniment of Gil Deeh at the piano, he uses to fine effect, The Charleston is well handled by Miss Peggy Mouat, the finalist in the Miss Australia beauty competition, and a splendid show is capped by the antics of Mantel's Manikins. There was not a single vacant seat in the Grand Opera House last evening, and the same conditions ruled at the matinee in the afternoon. The box plans are at The Bristol, including those for the extended season on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
