nologuist, who has but lately been the
principal comedian OF Primrose & West
and AL. G. Fields Ministries, occupies ,-Ie
headline Of the bill, Billy Van is a ia
vorite with the public. and his appearance
in this city upon the vaudeville stage is a
large feather in the hat of the manage
ment Of the resort. He will be heard In
his latest compiled moDologue, and also
cOmically MARBLE few up-to-date songs.
"At the Runnymede Club" Is the title OF
the high-class comedy sketch that Flotow

and vocal talents. and the attractiveness
that Miss Dunn bears TO her audiences.
Misses Mcintyre and Peak, the first isis

public their comedy ramble that intro

ness is extremely comical.
Harry Taft will give his clever whis..-ng
and initiating act.
