skau gulls in order to rid the islands OF
the eagles that c~ongregates there and COM
nit many depredations. The magnificent
red sandstone cliffs that skirt the north

the eagles, and In this inaccessible Spot
they increase so rapidly that they be-

Miner & Vans Bohemian Rurlesquers,
! which begin a weeks Engagement at the
Bon Tor Theatre, commencing Monday
matinee. November 10, is an excellent
combination. The fact too that Tom
Miner. who is the manager and part pro-
prietor, is a son of Harry Miner of New
York, who is Identified with everything
prosperous in theatricals, will prove. that
the present enterprise OF Miner & Van is
one of great merit.
In the company are such artists as Viva
Nobriga, one of the greatest coon de-
lineators In the land; Nita Abbott, Gladys
Clark, Esmeralda. Sisters, Belle Dolan,
Edith Chapman, Viola ~Thorndyke, Emma
Watson, Helen Bartlett, Halle Pope, Nell

Musical features and songs abound in
~profusion. The performance does not
end with one of those monstrosities 9aIse-
" called a burlesque. but has, instead,
after the olio, a ~oneTact farce-com!edy,
which compares favotably with some that
travel alone as such. There Is a long
list Of novelties, introducing at intervals
all during the performance. The songs
are all new and taking; as a whole. there
is ~crispness and freshness about the show
that is delightful
while Billy Van is about half the show
himself, III is ably assisted by some clever
people, prominent among whom are Viva
Nobriga. Fisher & Clark do some excel
lent work and possess a rich contralto
voice. The Tyson Sisters and Esmeralda
sisters do not only possess good looks
but are very clever. Mitchell & Cain
will do their share in keeping the audi
ence laughing. Roger and Belle Dolan
are two old favorites. Fred Wyckoh is
a German comedian n unique story
