The fourth week of Klaw s. changers
vaudeville festival started yesterday and
from the appearance of the bill it is the
strongest so far offered at the Forrest.
The program serves to introduce Hetty
King, known as England's greatest male
impersonator and the immaculate fashion
plate of the vaudeville stage. The great
success attained by this clever woman at
the New York Theatre served to gain for

fashion pictures portrayed by the dainty
coincidence are said to be the perfection
of stage art. The idea of Advanced Vau.
