The attracting vaudeville bill con-
sisting of three acts, all stellar at
fractions, which opened Sunday at this
house, is in every way a great sue
cess.
Chester Morris in his "double-single"
does double impersonation which is
unique and comicle to a degree.
Carl Zeno, the marvellous European
is a wonder. He has a
most remarkable physique and per-
forms many feats of extraordinary
skill and daring. 80
Barnette and Angelo, '"The Califor-
MIA Duo" open their act in a garden
