THEATRICAL
THE GARRICK

Joseph Harts musical novelty Polly
Pickers Pets in Petland" is the feat
ure pre- -eminently of the show at the
Garrick this week, and incidentally
one of the biggest attractions for the
young folks that Manager Dockstader
has presented in many a day The
scene is laid in "Petland," wherever
that may be- where the children play
and sing all the oday long and where
various animals, such as elephants,
cats, dogs, parrots and Teddy bears
hold high carnival both day and night.
The animal characters are amusing
and offer many good laughs, while the
children sing and dance most enter
tainingly. 1t is a delightful feature OF
a very good bill. Max Whites Scotch
Lassies, attired in natty costumes Of
the Highland country, sing and dance
and win their way into the hearts Of
the audience right quickly. Maddox
and Melvin offer "The Messenger Boy
and the Maid" clever comedy
sketch. and the Kemps win hearty
applause in a comedy and singing
number seen here for the first time.
The Lafayette-Lamont Company have
a high class acrobatic feature, and
Josephine Davis. character singer and
eptertainer, and The Madden and Fitz-
patrick Company in THE Turn of the
Tide" have a feature Of average merit.
