THE MURRAY,


| The Murray this week has one of
| the most entertaining bills in its his
tory.
Interest centers in the appearance
Of Mrs. Gertrude and Miss Elizabeth
Kolp and Mr. Peter Lichtenfels-
whose aggregate stage name is Mar"
and who are residents of this city,
whose success has been pronounced
since their vaudeville debut here last
Spring
So signal was their success that a
Chicago manager has now put them
out in dancing sketch of their own,
after they had played over the big wes-
| tern circuits in an act which includes
several people and of which they We're
the stellar attractions.
The dancing number in which they
now appear is brilliant, vivacious and
effective both in its terpsichorean per-
nance, its mise en- scene and its cos
tuning.
The sketch which is called All for a
Kiss" gives the three an opportunity
to exploit their artistic talents, and it's
pantomime displays their theatric
anesse showing the development in
their stage acumen.
The sketch has three sets, the first
with a marine effect and in which Mr.
Lichtenfels appears in middle costume
his entrance being greeted with great
applause as was that of the two femi-
nine principals.
The second is an adaptation of the
oriental setting and dance in which
they were originally seen but which is
put through with much greater dra-
matte eclat and in which Miss Eliza
! beth kolp does a solo dance of alluring
grace and charming sinuosity; and the
third which has a rose garden setting
and in which Mrs. Kolp appears in
Waiting number which met with over
whelming testimonials of appreciation
from the audience.
Mrs. Kolp, in this scene, gave an ex-
hibition of Waiting that was good to
see, after the mongrel and degenerate
dances one becomes Injured to from
the vaudeville stage, and was greeted
heartily.
ing number which brought their ap-
pearance to a finale, gave a difficult
and fascinating dancing number, fol-
lowed by several curtain calls.
Mrs. kolp is not only to be congrat-
ulated for originating and arranging
this charming dancing sketch-al-
though sketch is an inadequate no.
menclature-but highly commended
for giving it artistic atmosphere and
for presenting the legitimate phases of
the terpsichorean aria beautiful and
noble art which has been unspeaka-
bly, debased by the uncou.
Aside from the Kolp appearance the
bill is, as stated, entertaining, it's in
PRODUCTION by one Hi Greenway who
masquerades as a crayOn artist but is
an excessively diverting comedian in
an odd, whimsical fashion rather for
eign to vaudeville, starting things off
with vim and go.
The Gotham City Trio has a rough
house act that takes with the audience
and which is chiefly notable for its
good singing although the trio proved
amusing enough. The chief comedian
might be recommended, however, to
confine his activities more strictly to
the neither side of the footlights. He
might hit the wrong high spot in the
audience and be hung out on the line
to dry next day.
The Sharrocks, mental telepathists,
put on an entertaining variation of the
usual stunt of this character and are
uncommonly good while Holden & Nc
Donald. hand and head balancers, do
some interesting feats of their class
