that suited the three large audiences
yesterday afternoon and evening.
The headliners are Hawkins e Sidons
Co. in the bright little comedy sketch,
Loves Young Dream, chuck full of
comedy situations and put on in great
shape. 1t was well received. Marion
e Dare, two eccentric entertainers,
made a most favorable impression and
they were encored. The Richards in
a new novelty song, was another of
the bright spots on the bill. Miss Mae
Collins, the Dutch coincidence, has q
new line of songs which she rendered
well and responded to recalls, while
Charley and Grace Won Smith had a
new act of singing, talking, acrobatic
dancing and music in general which
went well. 1t is a fine bill and well
balanced.
