trained Shetland ponies. A little

all sorts of remarkable tricks. An
act that will take the audience be-
hind the scenes is that of Lewis

and pathos mingled. Jarvis &
Martyr, juggling comiques, open
on this bill for their first Ameri-

the style of I'm the Bishops Car

Real musical comedy is a rare
thing in vaudeville, but such will
be the headline attraction at the
Panttges for the week commenc-
ing December 81, remarks Manager
Walker. 1t will be presented by
the Hearts and Flowers company
of 10 people. The story Is that
of the love of the trees for certain
flowers, they being too bashful to
express their love. Evening Glory,
the queen of the night fairies,
gives them drink of a nectar which
caused the timid lovers to declare
their passion. Then the swagger-
ing Hoosier moon comes upon the
scene with a nectar extracted from
O certain Kentucky grain and in
duces the lovers to drink. They
become intoxicated and a general
mixup occurs which requires the
combined assistance of Evening
Glory and Morning Glory to
straighten out. The musical num-
bers have been specially written
and the act is beautifully staged
and costumed. The Stubblefield
trio of aerial gymnasts will offer
something new In the line OF

close to four hundred pounds, which

to have very cold weather for that
