Anusen1enfs
At The Majestic.


 Before the usual first night audience at, the Majestic Theatre, Manager Couch presented a unique bill. Two of the acts are great while the others although being carefully done. with good material to work with. fall flat for the reason that the Personality be- hind Is lacking. It Is nevertheIess q bili that will draw packed houses throughout the week-the two big acts assure that.
 The real headliner on the bill is that of the Byrne-Golson players in their comedy Uncle Seth's visit" It is sel- dom indeed that an act approaches to any degree the success that the ad- vance agent claims for 1t. but in this act there comes the one exception. Grace Goison is clever. Did you ever see a country girl make q recitation ?'' Possibly. you have, and If you want to see . clever imitation see Miss Golson. The act is concluded with the concer- tina trio. and a surprise.
 Competing successfully for place alongside the heailiners, if not dis placing them, is the turn oE Flemen and Roth. The act got more applause at the night performance than all oi the others put together. The man of the pair has much new material that Is rloh In comedy, while the woman tOllOWH 4t0u8- III acCeptapAS mdnnek. The woman in one Of her songs has a little fun with the audience, and the man helps 1t along throughout the whole of the twenty minutes follow ing. .t..t t-s t The Renee family were In Montgom- cry, last year. Their act Is identical with. that Of last season. It's a first class act. and the audience recognized It's quality with their interest and ap- plapse. =,, tf5S
 Tekara, the man of magic. does tricks that have been seen before, but does them much to the mysttfication of the audience. His trick with the slates is the best on his program.
 Marie Salisbury-well. she failed to make good. She has good songs. is pretty, but the something that makes the audience laugh was not here. Her voice is but fair, while her dancing was not long enough to tell whether it was good or bad. Perhaps a different place in the order of the bill will help some.
 The moving pictures close an inter- esting performance. one well worth the patronage of the Majestic.
