THE TIE M PIE.

When Trlxie Friganza tripped be-
fore the fotliGllts in the Temple the
ater. Monday afternoon. the audience
sat up and took notice. well aware
that that irrepressible young woman
had a fund OF good humor up her

and half Irish. but that she has adopt
ed her mothers name for stage pur-
poses. Be that as II may, she dis
pensed no end OF good cheer across
the footlights. laughed At her own
generous averdupois. saying that the
only article OF ready-made clothing
she could wear is handkerchief, and
declared that she was two jumps
ahead of a fit" Her singing Of
"Prunes" was one OF the funniest
things heard in the Temple for long
time.
Bert Kalman and Jessie Brown have
a pleasing act in songs and dances,
the latter being an especially fine toe
dancer I'D Rather Float Through Il
Dreamy Old Waltz" by the two was
one OF the most taking numbers.
Won BY a Leg" is a farce-comedy
in two acts by Lincoln J. Carter and
while nothing but a bit of nonsense,
served TO keep the audience In an up
road. The hero arrives at the home
of the girl he is to marry, but has not
seen her for two years. She pretends
that she is deaf and dumb and he pre-
tends that he has wooden leg. His
frantic efforts TO keep on the decep-
ton and the mistakes ne makes in
putting the artificial leg on the wrong
limb are ludicrous Gordon Eldred
plays the hero, and Berna Reinhardt
the girl. The scream OF Mis- Reinhardt
Is quite equal TO the one that made
Blanche Bates famous several years
ago.
The Kita Banzai troupe, Jap aero
bats, jugglers and equilibrists are ex-
perts in their line. and the Four Har-
monists individually and collectively,
sing familiar songs In a satisfying
manner. A. O. Duncan, an old favor
lite, whose ventriloquist stunt has Oft
en- been enjoyed by Temple theater
patrons, was welcomed back. and Gun.

talkfest, assisted In making the bill a
success. Brown and Nevarro. THE
