At the Washington

The vaudeville acts that will ap-
pear at the Washington for the
week beginning Sunday matinee
will be of the seasons best. Head
ing the list will be the feature
attraction, the Joe Boganny Troupe
of Lunatic Bakers. This Is an aero
batic sensation imported especially
for the Sullivan & Considine Cir
cult and comes direct from London.
The action of the number takes
place in a bakery, but not quite
the ordinary kind of bakery. The
acrobats are all dressed as bakers,
and while they do not produce
cakes and pies, they furnish an
act that is so far above the ordi-
nary that it is truly marvellous

At the Pantages

For the week beginning with
Sunday matinee, December -, Man
ager Walker of the Pantages an
nounces one of the best shows of
the winter season. Patrons of the
Pantages have been very fortunate
in seeing some very good vaude-
vile turns lately, and the manager
guarantees this show to be COM
posed of the best. An act that will
hold first honors will be Grace, the
Diving Myrma, presenting the ia
nous Annette Kellermann diving
act. This act carries special seen
cry and light effects that represent
a swimming pool in the heart rof
the woods. Grace has figure that
is admired by all sexes. Once seen,
men and women become her follow
ers, and she has an act that one
never gets tired of. Her graceful
form, surrounded by tight fitting
bathing suit. standing ready for a
dive, is a picture that no artist
could paint.
Wills and Hassan, Americas ia
nous equilibrists, two men giants
in strength with sure eye and pos
sessing wonderful balancing power,
will come next in honors. They
come recommended as being. the
best in their line. Their tricks in
clude head to head balancing, hand
to head. hand to hand, feet to- feet
and many other new featS of
strength that seem almost impossi-

Another good act to be on the
bill is that of Payne and Lee; with
their novelty dancing act, THE

ton from our other managers.

to-date arrangement of singing and
dancing and have have made big
hit in all houses in which they have

humorous. The story in brief ia
that of Robert Hammond, a wealthy
New York club man who is rather
neglectful of his WIFE, He has a
penchant for spiritualism and the
general study of the after world.

first act and dreams a fantastic
dream. A daughter of Venus, the
goddess of love, appears and by the
aid of electrical, scenic and magical
effects, the scene shifts from the
fashionable living room of the HAM
monds to the lower regions.

cessful play, "The Third Degree"

teal to that used during the seven

tunes that befall Howard Jeffries,

benefit"
For the past few months the
newsies have been looking forward
to big Christmas dinner, and

them enough to provide the price,

promise to subscribe enough to
make up a possible deficit

At the Orpheun

In times past there have been
protean artists on local vaudeville
stages, but 1t is an unquestionabie
fact that the equal Of Arturo Ber-
nardi, the headliner on the bill at
the Orpheum for the coming week,
opening with Sunday matinee, has
never appeared before a local audi
ence. Mr.. Bernardo was imported
as q summer feature at Hammer
stems roof garden last summer and
was induced to play the Orpheum
circuit before returning to Italy.
During the course of his act he
plays all the roles in two comedies
ana his changes are made so
quickly that the audience is be.
wildered. In between the two
sketches he enters the orchestra
pit and impersonates the famous
composers. thereby removing all
doubt as to his genu.neness as a
quick change artist.
Another feature on the program
which will prove a drawing card Is
the sketch of Miss Una Clayton, en-
titled His Local Color" Miss Clay
ton is the author, of the play which
critics the country over have
praised for its originality OF concep-
ton and the cleverness of the hui
man interest feature and comedy.
The story deals with the life of an
east side waif in New York and the
struggle of the child to live up to
her ideals despite her training as a
pickpocket. She enters an artists
studio to return stolen purse and
is engaged as model. The artists
sweetheart enters, and the efforts
of the waif to impersonate the lay
figure are amusing.
For Sale-Wiggin's Farm is
the title of the comedy sketch in
which the Chadwick Trio. will APP
pear. featuring Miss Ida May Chad.
wick. champion buck and wing
dancer OF America, title she
earned four successive years.
The Four Readings are sensa-
tional hand to hand equilibrists,
whose feats have gained them re-
nown. Their remarkable somer-
saults and flying leaps from one to
the other have gained them highest
praises abroad. where excellence is
recognized only after perfection has
been attained by the gymnasts.
An extremely artistic and skillful
musical interlude, entitled "Twi-
light In the Studio.' is the offering
Of Mr., and Mrs. Frederic Voelker,
musicians Of the highest type. They
present what they are pleased to
term musical evolution which ex-
emplifies the three stages of
growth In the life OF the musician,
boyhood. youth and maturity.
An historical cycle of song, ap-
propriately costumed, will be pre-.
scented by the Dagwell Sisters, Nat.
allie and Aurie. two young woman

with voices which have been pro-
'fusely praised by metropolitan
critics.

eral dash of comedy, make up the
offering of Hopkins and Axtell.

on both continents.
Next On the bill comes the first

mony and fun. The Columbia Four
is one of the best quartettes before
the public, having appeared with
leading minstrel and musical shows
for several seasons.
