LONG TACK SAM.

REGENT THEATRE ON FRIDAY. Long Tack! Sant and his vaudeville company will give one performance only at the Regent Theatre on the evening of Friday next. Since his last, appearance here some years ago, Long Tack fem, with his troupe of twenty Oriental artists, has completed a world trip. All through the Chinese half of the programm that inimitable master of ceremonies, Long Tack Sam, keeps up a running fire of witticisms, his assistants meanwhile are going through their routine of hand-balancing, tumbling, plate spinning, horizontal bar work and balancing on bamboo poles, with Miss Nee Sa Long playing, her violin while going through a series of contortions. The first half of the programme is taken up by European Vaudeville Specialties. Personally selected by Long Tack Sam to support his Oriental Troupe, they are headed by the Four La Salles, who at the conclusion of their aet “loop the loop” on skates. They include Jandy, the French Musical Clown, who intersperses artistry with buffoonery; Mascotte and Maurice, delightful ballroom dancers from the Folies Bergere; Dora Lindsay, Scottish comedienne from the Alhambra, Glasgow; Paul and Leon, tap daneers that are different—they hail from the Colosseum, London —and Astor. Box plans are open at W. G. Perry’s.
