ton, dancing speciality has been de-
veloped by Misses Wilson and Rhodes
which bids fair TO win them more than
local fame. The two girls have been
practicing for several weeks. For the
first time the song and dance was tried
last Friday night, and the audience
kept them at it until the pair were
scarcely able to stand, let alone sing
the words of the song.
Other features are being planned by
Manager Willie, and he has announced
that he will leave no stone unturned to
make Maxim IS the most popular of Salt
