 Saturday Matinee and Night-"Ths
 Two Johns"
 A minstrel performance, successful New York musical comedy. and masi- clan. These are the entertainments pro- vided by Montgomery playhouses for this week.
 This is a falling off from previous weeks. but the trsveling attractions have been setting a pace for Montgomery pat- rons and perhaps 1t is better for good business that the slowing down process be applied.
 The really big thing of the week is ''The Silver Slipper" which comes to the Mont- gomery Theatre Friday night. 1t is . companion piece to "Florodora." and SCOT ed equally as great Q success in the East. It is claimed that the company is the largest traveiing theatrical organization in the South this season.
 Barlow Minstrels are billed for the Montgomery Theatre Wednesday matinee and night. This company does not pre- tend to be ''the greatest that ever hap pened." 1t is a popuiar.priced perform ance and has pleased Montgonerians in the past.
