THE PLAZA

For the coming week the manage ment of the Plaza announces a Nov city Fest Week. Each of the twelve vaudeville offerings to be presented during the week has been selected be- cause of the unusual elements which make it stand out in distinction from others of it's class, entlting 1t to be listed among the novelties of the sea son. A number of the acts are of such nature to render their nov city features their most conspicuous characteristics, this being true espe-s cially of the headline offerings, while all possess more or less important novel qualities. While novelty has besm the first secnsideration, it has been emphasized with no sacrifice whatever of the high artistic stan darde and the entertaining qualities which pre-eminently distinguish all Plaza shows, and will serve only to make those of the coming week the more interesting and enjoyable.

Master Nelson, whose father. Jack Spurrier, is promoting Steep1echase Island here, will be an other strong feature.

Edith Talbot & Co.,, will contribute a novelty cartoon1ng act very much out of the ordinary and Fitch B.
