every vaudeville lover is a list of popu-
lar players who have been here from
time to time. And naming over some
of them no one will overlook Conlin,

trio of song, dance and comedy artists,
who were here on two other occasions,
and the second time established a re-
enforced host of friends. pretty girl
youthful and full of life, and who wears
several interesting costume creations;
comedian, who is also piano player
and the third. a youth who sings and
dances with the girl. comprise the trio
Their material is snappy and full of
life and they seem to get as much fun
out of their foolishness as the audience
does. Several new song hits are inter-
polated and their comedy gags are new.
Happily. it is not so much the material
that the trio has that proves their
greatest asset, but it is the way they
do IL. Vivacity and pleasing personali-
ties that do get over" are the Guali-
ties that always make this act a rock
solid hit They are one of the big hits
on the most popular bill of the Or
pheum's new season. Appearing as one

| lar songs; also with THE Lawn Party
