ed with the show 1t has novelty and
excellence, a local interest in the pic
lures Of the Yale boys and the Naval
Militia, the Wyandotte and the Second
regiment band, and a fine sextette Of
feature acts. Manning and Provost, the
comedy acrobats, are continuing to
make tremendous hit with their mar
velous feats. Howard and Emersons
act, songs illustrated by moving pic
lures, is another success, and the best
of performances are given by Miss
Pearl Andrews, the dialect mimic; A.
o. Duncan, the ventriloquist; Zazell
and Vernon, and the biograph.
This great machine has a whole show
in itself with the fine new war pictures
and the launching of the battleship

hit.
