with rounds of applause for the brilliant manner in
in which he goes through his first-class perform-

singer of no mean ability, and he elicits roars of
laughter by his version of "Jump into bed," and
other capital songs. Joe Perry, the champion
pedestal dancer, and Pat Carey, the Irish comedian
and dancer, both work hard to please their patrons
and their endeavours are highly successful, each
