She makes a great hit with her base
ball song, and puts over several
others to a good advantage. Dorsch

as "The Musical Rail Readers"
They take the parts of conductor

clever acting. THE Minstrel Four"
billed as the twentieth century speed

real comedians, the kind who depend
on their own ability rather than a
comical makeup to draw response
from the audience. The Aerial

do some of the fastest work ever seen
on the stage. III five minutes they
perform twenty difficult and hazar-

variety. Their act closes the bill.
Eddie De Meyer and Rosie Dainie

appear at the Hippodrome tomorrow
