The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-09-20

bers of the trio were formerly with the
Imperial Singing Four, a quartet which
made good, not only in America, but
also in England and Australia A new
act was formed, including Miss Miskel
and it is claimed the feminine addition
adds great strength to the offering, as
the lady is talented and handsome. Each
one of the trio is said to be a soloist par
excellence, and in harmonizing features
the trio creates enthusiastic applause.
Emile Chevriel-This noted French
comedian and trick violinist is the latest
Importation, and il half they say of the
eminent performer is true, he will make
southerners sit up and take notice. M.
Chevriel does a great deal of quaint and
quiet comedy during his Is minutes in
the limelight, but his speciality is trick
playing on his beloved violin. He uses
any old kind of implement as a bow, and
his experiences is bewilderfng. M. Che
reil at one moment convulses you with
laughter and then causes the heart
strings to vibrate with pathetic melody.
NJ Chevriel is solely and simply a genius
one of the rare musical flowers, like
Blind Tom, who bloom only once in the
Garden of Time.
Grey and Peters.-This team really get
out of the old beaten paths trodden by
the expert bicyclists, because they are
real comedy cyclists, and, in addition to
de.strous manipulation or the various
machines, one of the team is rugged out
in ridiculous makeup which is quite IN
accord with his pantomimfc absurdities.
Skill and nonsense go hand in hand and
there is not a dull moment while they
are on the boards.
HI Tom ward-The "Original Merry
Minstrel" as Hi Tom Ward styles him
self, is a singer, dancer, jokester and
acrobat all rolled into one, and you
would never believe 1t to look at this
black-face imp, but he is really Won
derfu little man. To quote an exchange;
"Tom Is not bigger than a pint O cider,
but he gets there just the same" He
is on the jump all the time, and the au-
dience hangs on his every move
Barnes and "Reminiscences and Le-
VIVA have a skit called 1.-The Conjurer
and the Silly Kid" which is mixture
of burlesque magic and unadulterated
nonsense. The act strongly resembles
the famous exhibition of Martini and
Macmillan, which stirred up the dust
on Broadway sevral seasons ago. Barnes
and Lavina have but one object in life,
namely, to make people laugh The pair
are so fundamentally idiotic that success
always attends their efforts.
The Two Marvellous MelIs.-Every first
class vaudeville show is supposed to con-
tain at least one good, straight acrobatic
act, and as this is an exceptionally good
bill, the acrobatic act is not lacking. The
Two Marvellous Mells are very clever in
equilibristc and gymnastc work, Miss
Mells exhibiting rare physical develop
ment and graceful personal curves. The
male member is even more of a muscu-
lar phenomenon, and the act is one of the
stunning kind and well worth seeing sew
eral times.
Ma1estogra ph.-The new motion pic
lures are the result of careful selection
and are designed to give pleasure to
all classes of patrons, especially the la
dies and children.
