The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-11

, in the extreme. and the whole meal is filled with these ridiculous situations. This sketch has been a great laugh-maker wherever presented and the Majestic the atre audiences will find 1t one of the most 1 entertaining that has come before them | this season
 When an act in addition to being clever
 is also smartly dressed it has a two- l fold attractiyeness. People will never
 reach tha age when they get tired of good singing and dancing, and women will never ceasa to admire that eXpen- sive hrery which is the dream of all
 the daughters of Eve. Anything that
 woman likes to look at particularly is beautifully dressed specimen of the
 feminine gender, and those who see Miss
 Maud Ryan this week will be gratified to
 the fullest extent. MT. Inness has
 remarkable voice. and is an eccentric
 dancer. Miss Ryan has one or two top
 ical songs, and there will be no doubt
 of her favorabler eception.
 Miss Ella Warner Davis, who will ap-
 pear in vaudeville for the first time, has
 been an operatic star for several sea-
 sons and her European reputation is as extensive as her American one The lady inclines to classic selections, but is equally at home while singing some pop
 ular air like My Old Kentucky Home" She will be heard in the Jewel Song''
 from Faust, and try that difficult aria. ''The Carmena." The charm about Miss Davis singing is that she reaches the
 high notes without any perceptible ef- fort. It is predicted that Miss Davis
 will meet with a very warm reception. and be a pronounced favorite after the first performance.
 The act which will exhibit the clever qualities of Gilmour and La Tour is a ' combination of good singing. clever danc- | ing and smart dressing. It is a series | of character Representations involving | several changes. The first change is from refined evening costume to one
 or the ordinary comedy street attires, and this change is effected inside of
 eight seconds The act contains a lot
 Of rapid fire witty repartee, and keeps i the audience in a continuous state of | merriment Those who remember the fine 1 exhibition of Terry and Elmer some l weeks ago will be reminded of them in l this stunt, as Gilmour and La Tour are
 team which very much resemble that | celebrated pair. It is an act that will drive away the blues, and make you go | home and confess that you saw a $2
 show for less than one-half that amount 1 "A Messenger Boys New Job" is a new act which Keit and Du Mont are
 now offering the public. It is an eccentric | novelty feature and combines gymnastic | eVolutlons With batch Of funny talk and 1 pantomine aBsurdities. Both of these men have wide regulations as gymnasts 1 and now that they have added comedy l to their exhibition it should be one of the strongest and attractive numbers on the vaudeville stage. The press and public have warmly ndorsed it.
 Every good, first class vaudeville bill l is supposed to have black face comedian | on 1t, and this programme is no ex- 1 ception for in Tom Ripley the noted 1 comedian and singer, the burnt-cork end 1 will be most capably represented. Mr. l Ripley is supplied with a new line of | jokes, and he has several parodies that l are warranted to cause your sides to ache 1 from excessive laughter. He has a fine voice and his singing is one of the strong l points of his exhibition.
 l While it Is not possible to give Ma l jestic audiences great moving picture like Bryan on Labor Day." as was ex- | hibited in this house last week, yet the management assures it's patrons that the moving pictures this week were selected | with the utmost care, and with a view I of giving particular pleasure to the ladies | and children.
