Cosy.

OOSy,
The Hindle Trio in their dutch mu-
sical act are among the most pleas
ing and all-round satisfactory acts
ever in this house. The character of
near sighted and somewhat crab
bed German musician putting his
children through their music lesson
was most amusing and the mis-
chievous pranks of two pupils brings
many laughs. The song in German by
the two younger members of the trio
causes lots of laughter also. They
have wide range of musical selec-
tions and their playing Of the old ia
vorite songs brings merited applause.
This fine musical act will be here two
more days. Monday and Tuesday.
Nichols and Nichols in their COM
edy acrobatic act are most amusing,
too. One of this team works in a
clown makeup and is continually
pulling off some funny stunts They
will be on the bill Monday and Tues
day. also.
