tied before the American public.
O'Neal and Walmsley, who played the
Orpheum circuit last year and the year
before. will pay the city return visit,
and guarantee to leave the audience
laughing just as hard as they did the
last time. which is promising a good
deal. for these two boys as nut CO.
medians are surely far and away the
best that have been seen here in many
seasons. Schreck and Percival, an
nounced as Animated Acrobatic Alb
surdities," are said to live up to their
billing in fine style. Their act is not
quite like ordinary arrobatic come
dies. but has a Iinge of originality in
it which makes it very Interesting.
Allen and Graves will DO some high
class comedy singing and promise to
bring an entirely new line of funny
patter stuff with them. Chuck HaSS,
the Oklahoma cowboy, will open the
show with his western novelty. All
of this. together with four reels of
high class motion pictures, including
a two-reel feature, will be shown at
the Empire for the first half of the
week. On paper, it looks like a fine
novelty ILL.
