po1i,s Wonderland Theater

The material for one of the best vau- deville shows of the season is the new farce bill presented for the first time yes terday at the Wonderland by Manager Poli, who has, after viewing their per forrnance in New York, engaged a score or more of artists who never played at his popular house before Among the features are Sadi Alfarabi the great equilbrist, who knows the value of staging an act properly and effectively. Laddell and Francis in an acrobatic dancing act that is a surprise, the Bar on duo, which will prove an amusing novelty, much out of the ordinary run, for one of the duo is a great dog that does wonderful act, displaying intel- ligence that if not human is certainly a highly developed instinct. Dooley and Pembroke in their black face act, and pretty Dorothy Drew She is not only witty but very cute and dainty come- dienne as well. MT. and Mrs. Tobin present an excellent musical act and Ruth Royal and Charles Leonard Fletcher have a most amusing skit in "Wanter Gent" Terry and Lambert, and Swan and O'Day complete the bill.
