Manlcy and Walsh are two Of the
best singing and talking comedians in

voices and they know how TO use them.
They offer good wholesome line of

back somersaulting and balancing are
the most 1iffjcnlt ever performed at a
local theater. Their performance is
very risky one to themselves as slip
of tho foot would probably prove fatal.
The Psthe weekly review of current

promises great things for theatergoers.
