 BIG HIT AT POII'S

mense green and black hat which she | after characterizes as County Clare hat a paraphase@ on the Chan | tecler'' hat gets her a splendid recep- l ton which compelled her to bow a dozen times last night in appreciation. Her opening song is Tell It To Swee- ney'' rendered as no one but Maggie i Cline can give it and she follows with Mrs. Casey,'i from Bright Eyes. aT- other gem rendered with Cline trim mingS.
 Following this she gives her own con ception of Eva Tanguays song .tNone of Thens Got Anything On Me" the hit of the act.

For an encore song
 she acceded to the demands of the audience and sang McCluslzy' the song which brought her fame. She was assisted by the ssconpany', who later appeared to take her bow and it was the funniest piece of business ever Abe Stevens, leading man, Archie
 Swindon, juvenile, Harry Myers, heavy
 man and Louie Mitnick, comedian.

 here and it is little wonder that the
 house is practically sold out for the
 classy looking chaps furnished the de- y1ightful surprise of the present sea-

 of their act.
 Captain George Auger the tallest ae-

 The bill was opened by Fred Zo- bedie the young man who has been headlined all over the world and his marvellous balancing act was rev elation. Smythe and Hartmann follow ed with a novel singing and dancing offering which scored a decided hit as both have abundant personality and kagnetism and all new ideas The Checkers late the star feature of the Jeffries road show followed with a clever exhibition of baton juggling and diabolo spinning finishing with water juggling which has the novelty of wonderful skill and great comedy due to the man spilling the contents of the buckets all over himself.
 The bill is closed by the Zeno Jor- dan and Zeno troupe in a, sensational casting act during which one of the men is thrown a double semersau1t to the hands of another man the leap through the air and the catch being performed while the 1eaper is encased in a bag and blindfo1ded.
