BILL At FORSYTH
GOOD, BUT GETS
COLD START
Acts Full Of Merit, but Little
Occurrences Divorce Sym
pathy of Audience.
By TARLEToN COLLIER.

All in all. the bill at the Forsyth
this week should be good; certainly
there is no feature lacking merit in 1t.
And yet, somehow, the vaudeville
people who tried to please the Mon
day night patrons could not win over
their audience to the closest sym
pathy. The Alexander Kids, as cute
youngsters as ever trod the profess
sional boards, came nearer to doing it
than any of the others.
But George ROLAND, in the Fixing
the Furnace" act, felt It his duty to
reproFs an audible gallery by an
noIncing that the folks upstairs were
low brows, and that this two dollar
stuff" was wasted. And Arthur Dea-
son flew into the deuce of a rage
while he was but partially concealed
In the wings, apparently over some
indiseretion of the long suffering or
chestra, and spoiled a great deal Of
whatever impression of excellence had
been derived from his baritone feats.
Even Ray Cox, loudly heralded,

magnetic person she has been an
nounced. 1t is as plain as the nose on
your face that Miss Cox possesses a
high order OF ability, and all that, but
somehow the general chill affected
her act with the others.
The Verigraph, an arrangement by
which pictures thrown on a screen
are given a depth OF perspective and
made to appear startingly iifelike, was
an interesting novelty. Paul LaCroix,
fantastic jusgler Of top hats. lost
some OF the value of his act by beg

ever, came generously at the last
Cora Youngblood Corson's Girls of
the Golden West" closed the bill. They
are a company Of young women who
play dolorous music that hardly fits
the temper of a vaudeville audience
at 0:S0-although they do 1t well.
