bicyclists and unicyclists. This is
easily the most daring and sensa.
tional turn of it's kind ever essayed
on any stage. They seem to com
mence where others leave off.
The musical act on the bill next
week, and as for musical acts the
Pantages is noted as having the
best, will be supplied by Diamond
and Beatrice, an English act of
worldwide fame. The lady Is con.

seen for the first time in Spokane,
in series of marvellous evolutions
and which has long since put him
at the top of his profession.
Madge Maitland, singing come
dienne, in her original act, comes
highly recommended as being one
of the best in her line of work.
She introduces the coon song with
great effect, and her Irish imita-
ton is big scream. In finishing
her act she introduces a series of
comic recitatiOns. Seymour's
Musical Dogs. the act that made a
tremendous hit in the east, Is also
on the bill.

competent to aid her in bringing
out all the excellent points of the
playlet. Miss Blancke has phil
ososphy all her own in that inter
esting part of the boy "Freckles,"
who has no end of slang that re-
minds one of the stable boy in
''Wildfire.
A spectacular novelty is Fun on
the Boulevard" which is given by
\ the Wheelers as the next number
on the bill. These artists are clever
jugglers, and during the action of
their novelty there is introduced

But when We had paid our Can

We chose boarding because it
seemed to us to be about the cheap
