The show at the Lubin this week
more than compares favorably With
any ever presented at that popular
theatre. Plenty OF comedy to oh-set
the hot weather. pretty gir's' gooa
music and classy dancing.
The four Dolly Dimple girls got
away with the honors. This II ono
of the classiest little singing atis ever
seen on the boards at the Lubtn. Inc
girls are pretty and attractive. their
songs are new and up-to- date To
sum up. II lis one OF those acts mat
commands attention, and deserves up
probation.
Patterson and Titus are us clever
a dancing pair as one would care TO
see. and In spite OF the heat. they
appeared to be enjoying Themselves.
and their refreshing mann@r r'oched
the audience.
- Miss Helen Bell, billed as the girl
with a smile In certainly some"
whistler She whistles popular and
classic airs and gives a lot OF imi-
tations OF birds. Miss Helen has
a Jim dandy little act just right for
hot weather.
The Van Cooks present a novel
musical act. The stage setting is that
Of a Chinese laundry. Their music
is little more than ordinary.
The motion pictures are in keeping
with the Lubin picture standard,
