THE PLAZA

One of the most beautiful singing and musical novelty on the vaudeville stage, The Wanderers, was pre- scented by MT. and Mrs. FrederIck Voelker & Co, at the Plaza yesterday and the high class nature and .ex- |Glfsite daintiness of the piece was thoroughly enjoyed by the exceed Ing1y large audiences at all three per fornlances. The act is far different from anything ever presented locally and it is ma agnificently staged with special scenic effect and pretty set fings A delightful story from the pen of Miss Una Clayton. whose many playIet offerings are we'll known to local vandevilIians is told in. the act The cast is made up of six highly talented musicians and singers who render their selections with a feel ing and expression that works on the spectators like charm.
 ssThe WandeTers' is an act that must be seen to be appreciated for it is entirely out of the ordinary and to be the greatest and most beauti- full singing and musical offering ever staged. It was probably more through luck than anything else that enabled Manager CalIan to secure the act for it comes direct from a tour of the largest vaudeville theatres in the east.
 Burke & Harris, two boys who know how. to sing songs in manner that could not fail to win for them the rounds of applause they receive at every performance have an irnpor- .fant spot on the program Their rep ertoire includes rag-time and charac- ter selections and they possess unuslI- ally pleasing voices.
 Fun and plenty or 1t is furnished by Irving Roth. an exceptionally clever comedian in Italian costume. His comedy talk caused a veritable riot of laughter yesterday and his songs are original. Adorrissey & Lee have a splendid singing and dancing skit that is winning them popular favor for they put it over with a snap and dash that is treat. The C1er- mont Brothers give the audience a pleasing mixture of thrills and laughs in their daring exhibition on the re- vo1ving ladder.
