Little Miss FiX-It," a musical COM
edy that enjoyed a successful run in
Chicago the past summer, with Nora
Bayes and Jack Norworth as the fea-
tured players, is now on tour with
Miss Alice Lloyd, clever comedienne
of the English stage, who has been
seen in this country in vaudeville in
previous seasons, assuming the stellar
honors. Little Miss Fix-It'' was at
the Grand, Davenport, last night, de-
lighting a capacity audience. Werba
and Luescher, the producers, have
given the comedy a gorgeous mount
ing, and have furnished Miss Lloyd
the aid of a splendid cast OIL principals
and a good looking chorus. 1t is by
all odds the smartest musical play
seen in the tri-cities the present sea
son, Miss Lloyd, if anything, outshin-
ing her vaudeville efforts, the role she
has in Little Miss FiX-It'' apparently
giving her unbounded latitude for her

all sorts of wonderful stunts. and
clowns who will be one of the big and
pleasing features of the show. The
"Joeys" will appear in various dis
guises and will present many ludi-
crous acts. The circus will come to
the Empire with all its din, panoply
and splendor, and the boydom of the
three cities is expected to fall on its
neck with the customary clash of de-
light, and the young men and maid
ems, old men and children will enjoy
this performance just as much as
they ever did one given in a tent
There will be features which will make
the chills run all the way up and down

which the small boys will pos

American stage. There will be COM

applause. Beautiful ladies in tights

table on which men cannot possibly

play some of the instruments. an ex.
