1 GOOD VAUDEVILLE SHOW
Paul & Rudasill's Company Playing
Weeks Engagement Under Can
vaSs in Front of City Hall

Weeks Engagement Under Cam
Vass in Front of City Hall.
Paul & Rudasill's Tent Show open
ed weeks engagement last night
on lot in front of the fire depart
ment, and their first performance
pleased large audience.
The company comes highly recon-
mended TO the people of Dawson by
the mayors of the cities they have
played as a clean and moral show,
and also one that gives more than
your moneys worth. Cold weather
does not worry the Paul. & Rudasill
company, as they have three stoves
that keep their tent warm in the
coolest weather,
The company has just finished a
ten days engagement at Covington,
and the News of that city has this
to say: The Paul & Rudasill Kom-
edy Kompany played to a big house
last night and pleased all with their
performance. Their three reels of
moving pictures were fine. The vau-
deville included the Belle Sisters,
who are sweet singers. One of the
sisters does a very clever boy imper-
sonation. Earle Victor is an AL
black face comedian, and his songs
and stories kept the audience in good
humor and his act received we'll mer-
tied applause. Little Bobbie made a
big hit with everybody with his cute
songs. Paul and Rnolda are among
the most versatile and entertaining
artists that have ever played here.
They do a little of everything in
their act. Rnolda is a graceful dane
er and Paul plays several musical in
struments. 1t is one of the best tent
shows that has ever played here, and
with their entire change of program
every night they will doubtless play
to packed houses during their en-
gagement."
