light to look upon. She has a btau-
tiful voice. Mr.. Gavin, as the ped
der, has a dry humor that won the
audience at once.
James LIGHTER came next, with his
really remarkable plano playing, his
limitations, songs and funny stories.
Finally appeared the Mellnote
Twins, and the Waldorf Boys, In a
musical comedy skit called, "All
Twins" This act is without doubt
of the daintiest ever seen here.

tizing Man." assisted BY the boys
who have dressed up as eIergymenzin
