spinning Then there is A. w. Stanley
and Mayme Scanlon in an eccentric
musical act. Miss Scanlon makes up as
an Irish biddie, a real tough woman
and an Indian maid. Her physical
proportions are ponderous and her
get-ups are great. She Is a whole show
in herself and her singing of ARA
Wanna" is a treat. Miss Nellie Revell
says things" She says them all right
and to the apparent delight Of the au-
d1ences for they applauded her heart
lily yesterday. Harry Carrie Godfrey and
Veta Henderson put on a sketch that
Is decided novelty and is called "A
Daughter of the Gods" 1t is as diff
ferent from the usual vaudeville sketch
as day Is from night and is sure to be
wonderfully popular. For illustrated
songs Mr.. Irwin sings Eat the Old Cross
Roads," and Miss Parf1tt renders
'Sweethearts and Roses" Three series
of good moving pictures are shown. The
show on the whole Is hummer from
start to finish and will no doubt draw
the capacity crowds that the one Of
last week did.
Majestic.
Each act on the bill at the Majestic
theater for this week is as good one
of its class as there is in vaudeville,
and this fact makes the show one Of
the best that has been at this popular
place of amusement during the present
season, and many fine ones have been
there. There is a great variety to the
bill and two or three of the acts are of
the novel order. And this is just what
makes the show such a good one.
It was only because Of the prompt
and costly action on the part of Roy
Crawford and James Kearney, the
managers Of the Majestic, that the
large audiences which visited the house
yesterday afternoon and last evening
were not disappointed and provided
with just about half the show. The
Mimic Four and The Austins missed
their train connections at Atchison on
their way here from Lincoln. They
effect and it did not take Mr.. Crawford
and Mr.. Kearney long to make up their
minds what to do. They chartered
special Santa FEE train which was sent
over to Atchison and back again in al
most record breaking time. This train
cost 800 but it got the actors here In
time to put on their stunts at the at
ternoon show which was only delayed
Is or 20 minutes in order to wait for
them. This was a piece of enterprise
on the part of the Majestic manage
ment that should be greatly apprecia-
ted by the theatergoing public as no
doubt 1t Is. Both Of these acts are top
notchers. The Mimic -Four comprise
two men and two women who are c1ev-
er at singing and dancing and The
Austins present a novelty In the way
of tambourine spinning.
Another exceedingly clever act on the
bill is presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Ed

A decided novelty in the way OF ac-
robatic rope jumpers is one of the fea-
ture acts in the show which Manager
Bryant has provided for the olympic
for this week. McVay and Seabright,
