Manager Couch Is Offering his pat
yrons an excellent bill for the coming
week, one which should prove draw
ing. card for the entire six days on
whichtit will appear. It's q bill OF six
turns that will puzzle one to pick out
the best act. There Is an act to- please
the tastes of everyone, consequently
the headllner will be according to your
preference.
The first number Is that of All Luig
Foo, a Chinese magician act. The act
Is a novelty. showing the tricks of the
Eastern empire performed with the
utmost care. Dressed in the Chinese
costume 1t is of course easy to con-
ceaI objects. but how on earth All Luig
Foo can get about the stage with a
big bowl of water, ducks and pigeons
concealed beneath the folds Of his gar
ments is a puzzle.
Bill Sheets. whistler and mimic Is
clever. He lis, however unfortunately
placed upon the bill following the Chi
nese magician. 1t takes the audience
some time to warm up TO an appre-
citation Of his abilities, but toward the
last his limitations of various birds.
chickens, pigs and hts whistling Of q
march wake the audience to full APP
probation Of his excellent turn.
Gus Leonard is the real article In
fun making. The odd magical musi-
clan gets the laughs from the start.
and keeps his audience on the jump
through his entire period. He says
that his act Is not a burlesque upon
magic. Maybe 1t isn't, but 1t created
more genuine merit than any other
number on the bill.
Arnold and Ethel Grazier have an
acceptable turn when they introduce
toe dancing and playing upon the
French horn. Arnold Grazier's toe
dancing is unique and drew-~the APP
plause.
The La Molte Trio. society acrobats
do tricks that have been seen before.
Their turn lacks novelty, but the exc
cution of -the acrobatics more an
makes up for this failing.
Grace Cummings and Company. have
very acceptable little sketch. The
male member Of the. team is exceed
ingly clever. With his dry humor he
secured the hearty applause of his
audience. Grace Cummings has an
acceptable voice. and supplies the need
ed foil to the wit OF the male member
The bill closed with the moving pic
lures which are always OF the highest
standard.
