the checks as assets and cried aloud:

HITf AND DONLIN
DRAW IN OAKLAND
Comedy Pair Creates Sensation
With Clever Act in City
Over the Bay

OAKLAND. June 16.-Mabel Hite and
Mike Donlin are creating a sensation
at the Oakland Orpheum this week
The big ball player is drawing the
crowds, the magic of his name being
potent enough to draw the multitudes
even when he is 5000 miles away from
the home grounds-the Polo ground in
New York
Mike is a genuine actor. but so
modest in all that he does on the stage
that he really is not likely to get all
the laurels that are coming to him. He
does a dance with Mabel Hite that
makes all other dancers appear to be
in the two spot class. For grace and
abandonment and celebrity of movement
he is unquestionably the king of them
all. No other ball player who has gone
into vaudeville as a star can hope to
touch. Mike in the matter of terpsi-
chorean elegance.
Seriously Mike Donlin shows how a
clever woman-none other than Mabel
Hite-can develop raw material into
fine stage stuff in a very short time
Both Miss Hite and Donlin are so
famous in their respective fields that
when the two double up and join
forces in a vaudeville sketch the con-
clusion is inevitable-sure success for
everybody concerned.
Out at the ball grounds Donlin prac-
tees with the men of the coast and
state leagues. He keeps himself in
perfect condition with this exercise.
being ready at a moments notice again
to don the uniform and get into the
game in which he is known as the king
