made by eliminating the usual weekly
moving picture review OF current events.
the bill was typically vaudeville through
out comprising Al sprinklinE OF good sing
ing, some good jokes, old and new, only a
slight touch of athletics. some rather
clever dancing, a rapid-fire comedy sketch
and bear-monkey-dog skating comblna-
tion that convulsed the audience with
laughter.

Charles A. Delmore and Ben Light re-
ceived the ovation OF the evening and
though possibly most of the success Of
the act Is due 10 Nh, Lights lightning

Buckleys animals arc a delightful
change from the ordinary run Of ''vaude-
vile circus performances. The act con-
sists of a big bear that skates. drinks

objection TO their act was that il was

OH, presented a combination singing and
athletic number. In which Mile Martha
In very meager raimcnt, performs on the
trapeze while her sisters look on with In
