AT THE THEATERS.
new GARDEN BILL IS
Good As ONE ENDING
BEGINS TONIGHT WITH FOUR
ACTS WHICH ARE ALONG Nov
Ell AND MIRTHFUL LINES.

The new vaudeville bill which be-
| gins at the Garden theater today for
three days engagement, gives ev-
cry promise Of being every bit az good
as the collection Of acts that have
| attracted packed houses to the Grand
every night since Sunday
The acts which open tonight will
include The Prentice Trio; Klien and
Clifton; Dan Roby; Fenner and Fox.
These acts are along different lines
than the ones that have preceded
them. and for this reason will no
doubt create a highly favorable Inn
preston upon the patrons of the Gar
den.
The Prentice Trio have an Offering
entitled THE Rube and the Circus
Gals" 1t carries special scenery and
combines acrobatic and comedy most
entertatningly. Harry Prentice takes
the role of the countryman and Anna
and Ella Prentice take the characters
of tho girls connected with tented or
ganization. The country chap is
outside the circus tent and thinks he
Is entering the part set aside for spec
tators, but instead finds himself in "A
dressing room. The street parade Is
on and the female performers are Just
| about to Timber up" when the coun-
| tryman appears. He tells them he
does acrobatic stunts and has applied
to the foreman for n Job" This
gives excuse for the three to perform
acrobatio feats which are very high
class.
Dan Roby, "The man who makes
noise like trombone" viii be an
added feature of the program for the
last half Of the week, starting tonight.
lie is said to be one OF the cleverest
comedians in vaudeville. He has
been featured in the leading minstrel
organizations and hIls attained a
place in the vaudeville world that
is the envy of other blackface COM
edians
George Fenner and Marie Fox have
an act witch is described as being
different from all others and CLASSY
throughout. They have a routine of
singing. talking and eccentric dane
ing which has given great pleasure to
the theater goers In the big cities
of the east and which comes to this
section for its first showing with ali
sorts of flatterlng recommendations
The gowns worn by Miss Fox five in
number. represent a big expenditure.
The big feature OF the bill will be
Klein and Cliftons famous act, The
Dummy's Holiday" and it has been
seen in all parts of the civilized world.
The stage setting shows a street with
Klein as a flexible clothing store dunn
my and Pearl CClifton as a wax mill
| inery model in a store window. Both
! dummies come to life Unexpectedly
and then both sing and dance In
grotesque poses. The Dummy's holi-
| day" ombodies an idea that Is dis
| tinctly original.
The moving pictures which are
| shown before and after the vaudeville
