What the Majestic theater needs is

pand to twice its normal size to &C
commodate the crowds that want TO
see the Angel comedy company. This
weeks bill is Higgins Corners" q
rural comedy, full of fun and music,
and the crowds yesterday where away
beyond the capacity OF the house. 1t
is snappy little show the musical stock
company is producing and everybody
liked it. Arthur Angel, as Silas Sum-
kins. is some pumpkins as a rube
comedian, while, Frank DeNoe and
Ivy Evelyn score a big hit with their
duet numbers. The girl chorus is
seen TO a good advantage and with a
real story TO carry the plot IL makes
a very attractive entertainment.

more cheerful. Preston, an acrobatic
clown, is skillful and had the audi
ence at his mercy with his pyramid
