from paying duty on same while
standing in line she happened to
sneeze and used the handkerchief
as a shield.

taken up too much of your time

The Dallas Comedy Four close the
oW as far as the vaudeville is
concerned. These boys have organ
IL ID some quartette, and from the
moment of their entrance to their
closing number, they held their au-
dience spellbound in appreciation.
Using the latest song successes, they
put them over in great style, and it
is refreshing to note that they do
not allow the comedy portion of the
entertainment to interfere with the
real purpose of the act. This is an
error most common in quartettes, but
these four boys have cleverly side
stepped it, and have an act that
would be a credit to any house. 1t
is needless to say that they scored
a big hit, for they were forced to
respond to several encores before the
audience would allow them to retire
