WILLARD S!MMS' ACT
THE HIT AT THE PARK

One of the funniest acts seen at the
Park Theatre for some time is Film
der's Furnished Flats" as presented
by Willard Simms and his company.
The story is of a young man who,
troubled by strike among the paper
hangers, attempts to paper his room
himself. By mistake he enters the
apartments of young actress, and has
enough trouble to fill a barrel The
trouble comes chiefly from his at
tempts at doing paper hanging, for
when he sees the actress he discovers
her to be an old schoolmate and they
proceed to sing an opera together. The
singing is from Weber & Fields bur-
lesque, "Fiddle-de-Dee and is funny
all through. Avery and Hart, two ne
groes, have an act far removed from
the usual colored turn They sing
some songs and quarrel some.
The Aherns, acrobats, open the show
with an exhibition of difficult feats of
strength and agility and give a pleas
ing performance. Weston and Beasley
have comedy act with a bit of bur-
lesque at the end, and while their Jokes
are not particularly new, they are well
told and raise a few laughs. Harry
Eugene st. Cyr gave a creditable ex-
hibitiOn of small magic. Frank Card
ner and Lottie Vincent were seen in
their comedy, "A Shattered IDOL" in
which Mr.. Gardner did the acrobatic
dancing for which he is noted Red
fern and Winchester presented a come
dy juggling act that was cleverly done
The show. ends with Leon Morris
trained ponies, five small animals that
go through various evolutions and per-
form intelligently.
Election returns will be read from
the stage at the Park and Lothrop's
tonight.
