There may be little in a name, but there is ecrtainly a great deal in what a name stands for, and when the name of Mr. Vincent Beebe njipeara as proprietor of a vaudeville'company, it is a pretty sure indication that that company is of more than ordinary merit. • The Polite Vaudeville Company, which will inaugurate a season of two nights at the Theatre, Royal on Monday, not only bears Mr. Becbo's name, but a long ist of other names as well, including hose of some of the finest artists ii< the vaudeville profession, and it is safe to assume that the New Plymouth sea-"* son will be highly successful. Uis one <»f Mr. Beebe's beliefs that no high-clan vaudeville performance is complete without the introduction of a few excellent musical numbers, and the result is that the. present company has two superior •»peratic vocalists in Miss Ella Conrad wprano. and Miss Ruby Cox, contralto.'
