Nor has her popularity In Detroit
vaned whit, judging from The man

Mar ovation was rendered her at the
close OF her Monday afternoon ef-
forts, and she was Obliged 10 make
little curtain speech before the big
audience would be satisfied. she
gracefully returned thanks and re-
marked that II was good TO get back
IA Detroit again.
Miss Stone is appearing In musi-
cal comedy, In which a pretty little
romance crops up. The sketch en-
titled Mon Amour" was written by
Edgar Allen woolf. and the music
and lyrics were provided by Mr.. ka-
lisx. Miss Stones assistant. The lat.
ter. French tenor and an actor or
more than ordinary ability, assumes
the role of Jean Lebaudy, compos-
or. in the playIet He produces an
opera and after its first production,
Lorena Hollins, a prima donna,
(Amelia Stone) calls on him, a total
stranger to her, TO offer congratula-
tons. Their meeting turns out to be

/ The bill also includes ncmber OF
other features, which might be class
"a as headliners. Jarrow, billed as
the humorous trickster," does some
remarkabie sleight-ofhand work,
demonstrating conclusively that fhe
hand Is capable OF deceiying the eye.
One OF his best tricks Is the appar-
tnt passing OF paper money from his
hand into lemon, supposedly In
tact. Also mystifying Is HE ability
to exchange a silver coin in the hand
OF person in the audiences for Q
penny.
A most entertaining feature OF the
work OF Leo GARLIC, a Chinese and
Italian mimic, Is his imitation OF a
man having his troubles with a
.bucking' automobile. He gees
through all the antics Of the troubled
chanffenr and winds up with an ex
citing explosion. His mimicry OF
Chinese in court and an Italian de-
iivering panegyric on George Wash
ingfon Is also amusing.
To see SwoF and Mack, black,face
comedians. is to laugh. They give
realistic Impressions or the Southern
darkey and their work is. indeed,
funny
Among other good numbers are the
Grazers, Ethel and Arnold, the latter
doing some creditable toe dancing,
and both appearing TO advantage as
musicians, Arnold playing a cornet,
and Ethel French horn. Ethel also
Z plays q piano accompaniment with
one hand while manipulating the
horn with the other.
Interesting tricks are shown by
pony and dog in Suckney's animal
circus the Misses Jane BoyEtOn and
Ivy Davis display ability with songs,
dances and pianologue. and ErgCt-
q and his Lilliputians give good cx-
bfbition OF acrobatic WORK. The
Nooreoscope pictures wind up the ex-
ceptionally good bill.
