| Three MarioA ooye who have
toured the country for several years
made great hit in their acrobatic
hct, entitled "A Trampls Dream"
Ghe Buckeye Trio, as they are
known in stageland, made things
hum while they were on the stage in
their pantomine novelty and fun was
fast and furious. each member of
1.-THE trio contributed an essential part
Ito the act and each was a decided
Init. A number of curtain calls we're
Igiven them. The trio is composed
of Ray Bieber, Charles Berringer and
lIpuis Scheidt.
Then came that funny man Hap
lpy" Jack Gardner the singing monol-
logist who would have been there yet
had the audience had its way. Card
ner does a black face turn In
tailormade suit that is laugh
producer first, last and all of the
time. His songs, parodies and talk
Ihad the audience with MIN every
minute and he was called on FOR
many encores to which he respond
led. His last encore was O burlesque
TUBA solo.
Then came that peer OF peers,
lhead liner among head liners, the
Iventrloquist with a production, Ed
lward f. Sharpless, the renowned
IReynard. His act is something that
has never been before produced in
this city and which has made him
the premier ventriloquist of the
world.
The curtain lifts on a country
lcIpss roads scene at day break and
1.-The scenic effect produced IS excel
lent. The cronlking Of the frogs, the
lcrickets, singing OF the birds and
1.-THE barnyard Growing adds realism
THE appearance OF Mr.. Sharpless up
, on the stage was the signal for an
loutbreak long and continued.
This act Is nothing less than mar
lvelous in mechanical features aside
lfrom the wonderful ventriloqual pow
ers OF the star. Mr.. Sharpless uses
a large number Of figures in his little
ltion held that II seems as though the
, Figures he uses are human beings
and a part OF the pretty little rural
. comedy that is being presented. AT
. 1.-THE close OF the act Mr.. Sharpless
was given repeated curtain calls and
thus closed the crowning act of the
lgreatest vaudeville bill ever presented
Ito a Marion audience.
The show was closed with moving
lpictures.
Too much credit cannot be given
,, 1.-THE Tally Wag club for It's innova-
ltion In theatriclls under local
management. The appearance upon
la local stage Of so many Marion per-
Formers who nave made good with
1.-The best In their various lines In the
loutslde world, Is something that
lhls never been attempted here. In
!. Arranging the show the principal
lcredit Is due to G.. II. Foster, How
lard r. Stoll and the show committee
,of the Tally Wag club, although
IAN of the club members worked In
ldustrlously. 1t was at the sugges-
ltion of Mr.. Sharpless that the affair
Iwns arranged and the Wags extend
Their hearty thanks TO Mr.. Sharp
lass and each and every one OF the
performers for their most excellent
leTorts in making the performance
lsuch memorable one.
After the show the Tally Wags and
their ladies' held a reception and
ldance at the club in honor OF Mr..
land Mrs. Sharpless, and those who
tappeared upon the program. The
Iaffair was a pleasant one in every
, particular.
Tonight the show will be repeated
In It's entirety and the Ways are as
} lsured OF another packed house as the
sent sale has been large. 1t had or
|ignally been intended TO give the
; lshpw but one night but as the house
Twas sold out several days ago It was
necessary to give II a second night in
lorde.' that all might see the gigantic
production which no one can AFFORD
Ito miss.
