BEHMAN SHOW MAKES GOOD
AT WALDMANN'S OPERA HOUSE

The Bahnaan show. led by Jack Sin

with Lon Hascall and Noble Williams
in the title roles. Too much credit can
not be given to Hascall n Miss Mollie
Williams. Their work is way above the
ordinary, and makes this show the finest
that has been seen in Newark for some
time. The ambition OF a ~"greaser.' por-
trayed by Victor Casmore, to gain the
hand of pretty "Mollie,' essayed by
Mollie Williams, gives the audience
enough thrills to last several weeks
The escape of Mollie at the end OF the

The show opens with a scene at Palm
Beach, and after an opening chorus by
the entire company the fun commences

the sketch was just as funny as was
the song by the same title before it
was massaered and hung, drawn and
quartered by the a grinders of our
fair land. 1t is a cleverly pieced farce,
presented by a capable company.
The Steffen brothers, %acrobats, and
the Four Night rs, Symnasts, are
headliners in their respective branches.

seemingly impossible feats were not
only attempted, but accomplished. Both
