Gus instruments difficult to master dis
play the talents of the Hughes musical
trio. This act receives much applause
because the various selections are
played in an adept manner and have
been chosen with a view to suiGtng the
tastes of vaudeville regulars.
Hallen and Hayes in chatter and
songs of the down to- the-minute sort
and new motion pictures complete the

bered for his portrayal of the elephan-
tine college boy In 'Strongheart," when
that drama was produced at the Bur-

San Francisco and the organization ar
rived Monday morning sans sheriff. A

was pressed into service with all OF his
225 pounds. He filled the part SO we'll
that they desire to take him to Chicago,
but the Haitian hero refuses, saying
California for mine"

F. Marion Crawford PLAY. 1.-THE White
Sister," have been the producers of
some Of the greatest successes the
