does the audience, n by the end OF
the week all the youngsters in town VIII

trying TO throw ropes.
one OF the genuine hits Of the bill was
made by that clever artist. Harry LcClair,
who stands alone today in hts particular
line or work. His satirical Representations
OF female types are at once artistic and
decidedly funny and the vociferous APP
plause OF the audience insisted upon his
returning 10 the stage several times. His
impersonation OF Cleopatra, also his rem
dering OF All Through Sticking TO a
Sailor was capitally done. with delicious

An act that appealed especially 10 the
Intelligent ~playgoers was that given by
Clay Clement and his company. Mr.. Glenn

and was capably supported.
one thing that Mr.. Clements admirers
OF three years ago will miss is the beau
tiful botanical description OF woman
and love which has been elimited and
which was one OF the pretty features OF
the act before. The excitable TooZoonin
Arabs gave a rousing a%crobatic and tumb-
ling act and scored their usual big hit.
They work with sna and dash, like vcrit-
able whirlwinds and their tumbling and
pyamid work is unexcelled.

from the act. The Savoy quartet made
a big hit with the audience. chiefly be-
