In addition to the thrilling cycle stct presented by The Three Wonder ful Rohrs, who are the headliners at Jackson's theatre all this week, Man ager Jackson is offering as a Speclaf attraction for the last days. of thls week, only, the delightful little con- esdietta, Vacation DayS," a farce ot the most mirth- provoking order throughout the action of which, are if1terspersed over a score of the ner- | riest and most tunefuI Jingles ever written. That old adage Laugh and Grow F'at'' is abundantly exempl1hed in this production, and an increase in advoirdupois is guaranteed all who witness it. Mirth and fun prevail from the opening of this act to its side-splitting situations follow one another so quickly, that ones breath is literally taken away It serves to introduce in the person of 1rv Clous. one of the cIeverest and drollest character comedians on the vaude- vile stage, and who, it is said, has a part that fits him to a nicety. Among the vaudeville acts that will appear in the Olio, and will later pa anticipate in the sketch are: The f1airchild Sisters, in a dainty singing and dancing skit; Morton & Keenan. presenting one of the funniest and most original comedy acts ever con :, oeived; Dot Davidson, the piquant soubrette; Ruth Edna, the flexible doll; and Try Clous, offering his screaming mOnologue, The German Orator.
 The Bhree Wonderful Rohrs have been retained for the remainder of the week and will again present their sensational cycling act Looping the Loop" in a revolving globe. There will be no increase in price.
