AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Vaudeville and 'PhotopIays.

With a bill that combined music and comedy in attractive portions the Da- wis theatres vaudeville numbers on Monday drew houses of large propor- tions. Tod & Billie appeared in an eccentric singing act in which one of the performers appeared in black face and the other wore the fancy clothes, while both were given plenty to do with their melodious voices. Scotch kilties made an appropriate setting for Jack Mackie. Scotch comedian, with a snappy line of songs and jokes and some very clever dancing to go with it. Manton S5 Morris in the third number of the bill were substitution for the advertised entertainers and were highly acceptable with their mu- sic and comedy in a bright little sketch which they sent along with a hit in every line and motion. The Mutual Weekly pictures from the seat of the European war; and another episode of the Million Dollar Mystery were among the fine offerings on the moving pie ture screen.
