LAFAYETTE.

McFadden's Flats" in the LAFAYETTE
this week furnishes two hours OF as
healthy merriment as can be found AT
any show that visits Detroit. In spots
IL may not be superlatively clever, and
some OF the jokes are old. but the
play never gets fat, and there ara
funny surprises scattered all the way
through.
The most unique thing about the
show Is the two dwarfs. Jerry Sulli.
van and Claude Speck. known on
the program as George and Alex.
the yellow kids. Jerry has most
OF the speaking parts. and does
an acrobatic and dancing stunt.
which Is always good for several en-
cores. His funny little body is so
strangely balanced and he is so strong
that he can handle himself wonder
fully.
The plot that runs through the
show concerns Timothy McFadden, a
ward politician: the widow Murphy
and her daughter Mary Ellen. Bell of
the Flats; Jacob Baumgartner. Nc.
Fadden's rival for the widows graces.
and a dozen comedy chorus girls, with
masculine accessories
Annie Hart as the Widow Murphy
does an original singing act, and
there are other good specialties.
Next week The Smart Set" com.
posed entirely OF Negro artists. will
be the feature.
