Elmer will appear in their sketch, en-
titled "A Rube's Visit to Chinatown,
in which they introduce a novel per-
forrnance on the horizontal bars. 1t
would seem as though acrobatic per-
formers had exhausted the list of feats
which can be performed on horizontal
bars but Rice and Elmer go one better,
and do some work that has not yet
been attempted by other acrobats. Wes-
ton and Herbert will appear in their
novel musical specialties, in which they
introduce a number of musical instru-
ments. La Petite Lund has been re-
tained for another week and will ap-
pear in a new repertoire of songs ana

Willie Collier, the low comedian, that
the real fun resides. He is the quaint

He has no rival, for there is not ar

the theater goers of Sacramento that
