At the Washington

The bill of vaudeville that viii
bes offered at the Washington COM
rencing Sunday afternoon will lean
toward comedy, each number hav-
ing some comedy combined with
the artistic feature of the act.
Heading the list will be Foster &
Foster, musical artists of more
than ordinary ability. From an ar
tistic standpoint, Foster and Eos
ter have an excellent reputation In
the field of music. They present
an entertaining oddity entitled
"The Volunteer Pianist"
Another feature of the bill that
will be of interest and at the same
time prove one of the laughs of the
program will be offered by Mazuz
and Mazette, entitled "The Lady
and the the Tramp"
Noodles Pagan, the great Amer
lean newsboy traveller and pic
turesque figure in the newspaper
profession will be one of the big
attractions of the program. And
before the week is over it is safe
to say Noodles" will have made
the acquaintance of every "newsy"
in town. Pagan is a product of
the streets of New York, where
through his remarkable ability to
sell newspapers and his ambition
to become a leader came to be
known as the King Of Newsboys."
Within the last few years he has
toured the world and has returned
to this country with the distinction
Of being the only "newsy" who has
heen entertained by the royalty of
Europe. Noodles" is no longer a
boy but has grown into young
man of pleasing personality. He is
a charming conversationalist and
correct in habits and dress.
A real ideal children's feature is
Miss Louise Stickney's dog and
pony novelty, in fact it is whole
circus in miniature. There are
dogs and ponies that perform
startling feats and are so we'll
trained that they go through their
work with but few instructions
from their trainer.
