At THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Phillips.

There is no getting around the fact
that the New Phillips has one of the
best vaudeville bills this week it has
ever had-a bill that will delight all
lovers of this style of entertainment
and that will be able to fill the house
with pleased pac.ons all the week
through. The feature of the bills lies
not only in the fact that the perform
ers are of the best in their various
lines, but also in the fact that they
put into their various parts the life
and spirit that is necessary to make
vaudeville bill go. Mahoney and
Lake, who appear as tangle takers
and singing comedians. have a most
lively stunt and nothing drags while
they are on the stage and they have
| much that is new to offer Paul E.
Poole is rightly termed the king of
cards" for he does some of the clev-
crest work, if not entirely so, ever
seen at this house. A distinctly new
| feature is the use of bell that seem
ingly of its own volition indicates the
kind and value of cards selected from
a deck. The bell is apparently not
manipulated by Mr.. Poole and it con-
tinues it's work when carried by him
among the audience. When it comes
to novelty aerial contortion work it
would be necessary to go long way
to get anything better than the La
Jesses, who seem able to do most
anything with themselves that could
reasonably be expected. The male
members of the team is nothing short
of a wonder and his various clever
featS are given suitable appreciation.
La Jess comes on the stage crowded
into a small box with big pile of bot
ties on top of him and is suddenly
introduced to the audience after the
bottles are removed, by a quick jerk
of string that let's the sides of the
box fall. He goes from the stage as he
came, packed into the box, where it
would not seem possible for a man
of his size to get Wesson, Walters
and Wesson, who put on a comedy
sketch entitled "a Trip to Washing
ton,' are real live ones and make
themselves solid with the audience
from the very start. They do some
clever singing and dancing and have
some new and up-to-date features that
go long way to relieve the situation.
1t was no mistake when they were
selected to close the bill with the ex-
ception of the motion pictures. The il
Illustrated songs this week are I'm the
Springtime When the Roses Bloom
Again" and MY Little Georgia Rose"
The Philoscope shows three motion
picture films of absorbing interest.
Ernest Gambel-Gennett.
Prof Will Earhart has this to say
of Earnest Gamble: Mr.. Gamble
has one of the most beautiful bari
tone voices now before the American
public. His success has been some
thing phenomenal. He was won
derful power of interpretion of songs
of wide range. His spirit is de-
lightful.'
Lee B. Nusbaum says: Il heard
Mr.. Gamble wnen he was here few
years ago in recital at the First Pres
byterian church and all who heard
him at that time spoke enthusiastic
cally concerning him. l have heard
him within the last year and afh
frank to say that his improvements
the meantime has been phenomenal
and with perhaps the exception of
Bispham l regard his one of thAgreat-
est deep baritones in this cQdntry.''
