TEMPLE.
! Featured on this weeks Temple
theater bill are the Eight Palace
Girls direct from the alaee theater,
London, Eng, where they recently
closed a fiye-year engagement. They
are a lively, good-looking octet, and
present pleasing spectacle In the
course of their work. In addition TO
their artistic dancing. they do some
fancy drilling and also sing. This Is
their first American tour and II viii
doubtless meet with success, judging
from their performance here and the
favor with which IL was received.
For the lovers Of good. wholesome
comedy, that of the quiet, pastoral
kind, there is something worth while
In The Halfway House." presented
by Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins Fisher.
Every halfway house has its quaint
character, and Mr.. Fisher portrays
this individual in a manner most re-
freshing. He looks the part and plays
1T to perfection. II just seems natural
for him TO assume the role. He tells
Belle Younger" an actress who has
come to ''Ricketyville" to join show,
all that has happened TO other theatri
cal companies, which have visited the
burg, and the innocence and humor
OF Il all find easy access to ones
disabilities.
Also favorites are Al. and Fannie
Steadman, eccentric entertainers,
who give q skit called ''Pianocapers. :
They rip on some burlesqne singing.
talking and dancing that tax exceed
ingly well As a matter Of fact, the
audience, Monday night. wanted more
when they finally drew the line on
the encore call.
Comedy is also furnished by Frank
~. Conroy and George LeMaire, black
indeed, creditable, and Julius Tanner.
The latter. known as the Chatter
box" tells the audience the funny

ence is laughing all the time he Is on
the stage. Some OF his talk 10 some
what coarse, however. For instance,
he says "A suffraget Is woman who
would rather raise hell than chill
dren."
In songs and instrumental music on
banjos, guitars and mandolins, the
Majestic trio scored q big success.
The Four Bards show new stunts In

MILES.
Joe Whitehead. whose name ap-
pears In big. black type at the head
OF the Delmar Poster Girls act on
the Miles bill this week, repeatedly
states to the audience that he is a
clever fellow. II Joe can get real
money for doing his part of an other
wise catchy and pretty act, he IL
clever. And II he IL. he will take q
quick and sweeping slash at some OF
the things that he laughed at. up
roariously, while killing frost settled
over the large and discriminating
gathering ia the popular show house.
Some kinds of "humor" are not ap-
preciated outside Of police court
circles.
Which solemn duty to the manage
ment Of the Miles and the public hav-
ing been performed, IL must be stated
that the rest OF the bill IL up to the
average. with two acts that stand out
az extraordinary good.
Maxim's Models, splendid poses OF
famous paintings, were. In themselves,
worth going long way to see. Nine
perfect copies Of well known works
of art, executed in such a manner az
to make It hard to believe that living
figures made up the effects, were re-
ceiyed with enthusiasm
A neat strong man" act by the
Three Bartos, with all paraphernaiia
absent was a novelty that made dis
tinct hit. Perfect muscular control,
agility and strength are used by the
trio In some stunts that drew them
large share OF the evenings applause.

,mnersonator OF famous composers
and Others. lived up to the reputation
that makes him an ever-weicome
