Varied and Novel Program Is
Promised by Manager Tiffany

Manager Tiffany announces a real

tages Empire theater. Many of the
acts on the bill are worthy, he prom
ises, of headline honors in any vaude-
vile performance.
Barlow's trained dogs and ponies
will prove great attraction for young
and old. The tricks which the little
animals perform are novel and enter
tanning, and a bull terrier, as clown
dog, supplies much comedy.

of Irish women on the stage. She will

The act which the Clockers will pre-
sent is entirely new. The skill with
which Anna Clocker twifls canes and
batons furnishes a fine contrast with
Charles Clocker's disastrous attempts.
The Kaufman brohers in a comedy act
have been highly praised over the Pan
tages circuit, and the Meyer brothers,
European equilibrists, will be seen in
an act which they call THE Human
Elevator Lipman and Lewis, south
ern boys; Dainty Maye in songs and
dances, and new motion pictures will
complete the program.
