because they are number seven on the
menu this week at the Novelty These
fiat skulled friends of the Mighty Hunt

good show. They do some tricks that
are worth saeirg and do them we'll.
This act is different from many of it's
kind in that a wicked looking whip is
not always twisting itself around the
legs of the animals. Wentworth &
Duffy have a pleasing act in "a Mid
right Episode It's full of rich COM
edy. The only trouble with the act is
Kentworthy, as the burglar. This
young man works well as the dress
suited clubman. but he's not the mid
night prowler in any sense. If this
feature were attended to this team
would have a head liner. r. D. Robin

At the Majestic.

Polly Primrose a stage story of
the civil war is at the Majestic this
week. This bill is the tamest the North
players have put on. There is practi-
cally nothing to it-in the war line.
Were it not for a pretty little love
story the piece would collapse. There IS
only one real act and climax in the
whole play. The story which Polly
Primrose tells is impossible. The love
story between Polly, the daughter of a
rebel living in Georgetown near Wash
ington and q federal officer and the
meeting of Polly's father and four
other rebels is all that saves the play.
1t is, however. well presented. Miss
Russell as Polly Primrose is clever
Miss BlayIock as Mrs. Primrose is very
good. Miss Gertrude Stone as a black
NANNY does some comedy work that
strikes in the right place. Clyde B.
Callicotte has the only part in the
piece with the slightest faint of force
and vigor to it and he makes the most of
il. The fire and vim which he puts
into Chase PAGES his work above
that of any other member of the cast.
ST. Vrain goes well in the love scenes
but lacks ginger at other times. The
Ferguson brothers fill their respective
parts fairly well.
