different character, is the act, TOP o
tn World" which includes 20 pretty
maidens, who perform a series of
dances in sensational fashion. Their
collie ballet is one of the dantiest
novelties ever presented at the Or

tions at New York, and is said to have
been the cream of the show.

skill. Al Jolson continues to hold his
place in the front line with his songs,
whistling and comedy. Minnie Dupree,

men and a woman, from Europe, give
an unusually clever exhibition of ira
peze work and other athletic stunts.
