SULLIVAN-CONSIDINE
HOUSE HAS GOOD BILL

Manager Bovyer is presenting an in
terestlng and well diversified vaude-
vile bill at the Los Angeles theater
this week. Music, comedy and dexter
ity are combined in the seven acts In
such q way as to make the offering
above the average at the Sullivan &
Considine house.
Opening the bill are the Six Roma
Juggling Girls, who display their
cleverness in their manner Of juggling
tennis rackets and Indian clubs. The
girls are pretty and well costumed and
the act is fresh and clean.
Haverly and Wells follow with a
comedy dialogue, the subject of which
is race track news. Bright, catchy
lines and down-to-the-minute slang
make the act go with dash and spirit.
Phasma, goddess of light" is seen
in some artistic creations which are
half electrical effects and the other
half terpischorean art. OF the four por-
tions of the act, THE Spirit of the
North" is the best.
Banjo playing, dancing and singing
and a combination of the former by the
Longworths makes their turn one of
the most enjoyable on the bill. Both
are wizards OF the banjo, and Mr..
Longworth can do stunts of applause
making character with his feet.
Sam ]. Curtis and his company create
no end Of merriment with their "Ses-
sion at School," a hodge -podge OF
comedy and music. The act scored the
heaviest yesterday afternoon and de-
served all the applause 1t received. Mr.
Curtis is an elephantine comedian.
Elsie Gilbert is an ideal little imp who
throws "spitballs" at teacher, makes
faces at everybody and is always In
mischief. Others in the act are clever
enough to aid in making everything
go well.
Closing the bill are the Three Navar-
ros, equilibrists, who do out-of-the-
ordinary hand ands head balancing
stunts.
Emma Lowry will make her first APP
pearance as a member of the Belasco
theater stock company Monday night

The member of Virginia Harned's
company who played the part of Fred
ericl Maldonado, the 'heaVy" in Iris" !"

cisco engagement, Miss Harmed was
puzzled to find an actor naturally
suited to the important role for the
production of this play next week at
the Majestic. Hearing of her predica-
ment, David Hartford volunteered to
fill the vacancy, and Miss Harmed ac-
cepted with enthusiasm. SO Hartford
