This duo was all right and opened UP
the house in great shape, so that the
succeeding players found the way well
paved to applause.
The six Kirkham Sisters, who are
on the bill for the week, have an act
that satisfies more than one or two
senses. Charming as girls, and hand
sonlely gowned, they are trained mu-
sicians, whose talents are displayed
in an environment of stained glass
and Moorish architecture. And the
quality of the act was heightened by
artistic lighting effects. One sister
IS an expert with the violin, and five
of them play instruments in unison.
This is really a satisfying act.
And as for that Lulu Mcconnell, she
is enc exceedingly funny woman. With
Grand Simpson she does sketch call

PLANNED BY COMMISS. ON


No frework materialized last even
