ful magnet and add much to the enjoy
able character of the entertainment.
Another old favorite here is Kate Davis,
who will present her diverting Mono
logue, which has recently been de-
cided hit in Philadelphia and New
York.
Two recent European importations
who figure in the program, each OF
whom comes here with the highest in
dorsements from the New York and
Boston press, and with record of un-
mistakable popular successes, are John
f.. Camp, the English singer Of comic
songs. and Percy Honri whose reputa-
ton as player Of the concertina has
caused him abroad 20 be termed the
king OF the concertina.' Mr.. Camp
has style quite English. you know,
and so a novelty here, but very differ
ent from the type made familiar to
those who have professed To initiate the
comic singer of the English music halls.
and his success in pleasing American
audiences has been exceptional. Percy
Honri is said to be an artist in every
sense of the word, and TO be able TO
place his instrument on very much
higher plane than II has before occupied
much more than Ii has before been con-
sidered capable Of.
The Valdares, who gre known as the
greatest of all trick and fancy bicycle
riders. are another strong feature of the

and Clinton are said to be by far the

variety and attractive qualities has
certainly not been surpassed, If
euualed. by any that have preceded 1T.
The Nondescript Trio Will contribute
the black-face comedy OF the DILL and
their ability 10 entertain and To pro-
woke uproarious laughter is said 10 be
of the very best. Hill and Whittker
banioists and vocalsts: Sheehan and
Kennedy in Irish comedy of the live
liest sort, Timely topics pictorially pre-
sented," and the American Biograph
are the remaining features; and If there
be any popular taste that is not met
by such an array il is something of
which amusement purveyors have not
vet heard. The new motion pictures TO
be shown by the Biograph. which fea-
