DICK |S D|PPf SHOW
Tells Bill of Great /. New Bill That Opened Last Night" Got Bells on, and Every One of 'Em Ringing"

Phoenix, Arizona, Aug 25. 1914. Dear Jim:
 Well look who's here again-the original "vodvil" fiend. Say, bud, just let your peppers hesitate a mo- ment on that brand of spelling in that "vodvll" stuff-Get that-it's good--oh. there's a world of class to me. boy
 Say. I'm just bubbling over with show news, and it's all about that Empress place again. Say, on the square, pal, I'm clean dippy bout that shack. They've got another one of them knockouts this week. It opened last night. I ain't kidding you, I'm just as serious as bum | asking the loan of a handout. 1 The big noise started with the two Vincittis. They ribbed up an aero batic sketch which they call Fun in Gym" Listen boy-theres class to 1 that team, and lots of it, too. Say, l I'll lay a small bet, bud, that that man hasn't got bone in his body He's as Timber as a ten case note after a night on rough sea. Get me? And the 1ady-say, on the square, I'd rather be sitting on the peak of the Washington monument than to have her start a "haymaker" that was sighted for the point of my jaw. Got big hand, too, and they deserved every bit of it.
 Then out pops sister team. Lis ten, guy, whisper. They were lriot. Got themselves some novelty act Say when it comes to speed, they make Haley's comet look like a fat woman going up hill Carry Especial drop, too. and wardrobe that twould make a cigar store Indian hol- Ter for help. Burlesque circus work. There's a million chances for sue cess in the thing. and believe me, bud, those two girlies never over looked a single bet. Say, they work )that audience stuff as neat as 1 ever saw it put over. I wish you could see them You might, cause l under istand they're headed your way. Lamp 'em kid, if you get a chance. But secrets-don't fall for them-'cause Iwhy? Cause they're both under con- ltract for life.
 Say, Jim, you remember that Randall-the boy that makes the chalk talk. Well, he's on the bill. He's got a lot of new stuff since you saw him. He don't stop at any thing What do you think of guy lthat has the nerve to make a stab at ''The Angelus" in chalk. When
 he said he was going to do that, l tcould almost hear that old spaghetti
 guy that made such a hit with 1t, tturn over in his grave. But nothing Hike that at all. He did a swell job. You've got to admit that when that stuff will stand the spot, it's stepping
 some That's what this piece of lwork did. Say you could have knock led me over with a feather. He's there with bells, and believe me everyone of them is ringing too, all 1.-the time.
 The Sullivan Brothers-three Of lthem-close the show They've got Ithe best set of pipes that I've heard for a long time And they sing only ; lrags and popular stuff. That's where they played the Foxy Quiller for
 fair. Everytime they put over , humber the audience a howled fol , lmore like a bunch of Bowery poii- : ticians on election day. Those guys lwould have been singing till now. il 2 that bunch in the theater had had . itheir way. That's on the level, too lAnd dance, you ain't never seen nc dancing trio till you see that act.
 The whole show is a dinger, wish iyou- were here to see it. But I'll Ikeep you posted all right.
 So long,
 DICK
