a great hit here.
Carr & Jordan are two farce coiheuy
sketchists with an unlimited power Oh
making people laugh. They will appear

humor and lively situations Theit run

never in the slightest offensive.
Duprey and Watson heap up the fun
by adding another rollicking comedy

way that it takes with everyone.
Only two of the former acts have been
! retained in the new bill. and they are
both of the best. The Guatemala mar
! imba players have proved such general
favorites that their engagement was
extended Those who have heard their
peculiar fascinating music will be glad
of the opportunity to hear them again.
Those who have not heard them have
missed a great treat. and should not
miss the chance offered this week. They
will render an entire new repertoire
including some of their own native COM
positions and several American airs.
Hayes and Post, the sprightly duo Of
acrobatic dancers and lofty kickers, are
also booked for a new turn. Their clever
combination of the best features of tum-
bling with the prettiest steps of the
fancy dance, has been well liked and
their marvellous high kicking has never
been beaten Post and Hayes will be
welcome holdovers

now playing at the Burbank theater has

appreciation of ability which is some

company has been greeted by large and
delighted audiences. A strong factor
in the success of the company is the
class OF plays they present, for their
repertoire is made up of standard sue
cesses, clean cut comedies, devoid Of
NulSarity and horse play. which too Of

comedies which have been presented in
America during the past decade, none
has made so big a hit as the famous
