a extra touch of refinement in two or

and danced without overriding any of It;
in Miss VILLA Holt Wakefield. who gave
several song readings with an attractive
charm. and in the Durand trio. Italian

There was only one acrobatic card, but
it was a good one, namely, Marena, Ne

their best to afford a song and dance

The piece offered by the headliners told
the story of how a Young wife tried to
cure her drinking husband of his jealousy.
She had ordered a costly gown and the
filter brought 1t with him. In order to
Civ her husband a shock she insisted on
forcing her make-belieYe attentions upon
the filter, who was anything but a manly
recipient for a woman's affections. Upon

cially upon Miss Norma Winslow's part.
A special word might be said, too, of
Miss Wakefield. Her entertainment had a
pleasingly refined note and one could read
lily understand why she had been so sue
