ducers will present bill with new and
newell specialties, commencing with the

Among the people who will appear

and Flakey, a trio of Partisan grotesq ue
comedians with a worldwide reputa'
ton as the premier eccentric comedy
artists of the vaudeville stage. They
give a funny sketch that sets their aud
fences laughing the instant of their ap'
pearance, and mirth- provoking incl
dents follow in such rapid succession
that there is not dull moment while
they are on the stage. Mr.. Rudd is a
very clever magician and introduces q
number of hie best tricks. only to have
them opposed by his irrspressible part
ner Bunth. Both these entertainers
are excellent pantominists, dancers and
all-around comedians. Their grotesq ue
and novel makeup is q creation OF their
own and ia sufficient in itself to- make
an audience laugh. One OF their special
ties 10 bone solo and duet, which are
both pronounced very clever. Flskey.
the third member of the team, ranks aa
the most marvellous contortionist in the
world. He performs feats that have
never been mastered by any in his line
