groupe OF dog and monkey pantomimists.
who give a remarkably clever and funny
pantomimic melodrama that Is described
as a scream from start TO finish. The
scene OF the playlet represents Coonville.
and the various characters impersonated
by dogs and monkeys include q chicken

lage belle and two intoxicated dogs. Tho

saloon, and hangs on 10 a lamppost until
he is arrested by the monkey policeman.
is furlousy funny. The act is distinct
novelty, not only in the animal line but
for all vaudeville. and IL Will doubtless
attract many grown-up people as we'll as
the little folks. A feature of Importance
OF the act is that absolutely no human
being appears on the stage during the

An old favorite with patrons OF vaude-
Vile entertainments as we'll as OF the

known comedian, last I'm Providence two
years ago I'm one OF the leading roles In
the original Social Whirl' company at

every word or movement funny. He will
be supported by capable company. In
cluding Fremont Benton. In a one-act

ways to be depended upon TO make one

and skill are combined. and another well
come entertainer will be Ray Cox, the

amusing bit of ragtime. Love Me in the
Ordinary Way"
The Rigolette brothers will give a dar-
