EMPRESS

Another big 12-act bill will be
presented at the Empress theater
tonight, half of the program be-
ing made up of local amateurs.
Although shows of as many acts
have been given at the Empress
before, it is the belief of Manager
Bert G. Donnellan that this will
prove to be the best combination
bill ever seen at the local vaude-
vile house.
Among the amateurs will be a
number of new faces, the greater
part of them having never before
appeared here. Pretty Polly
Prim of Gig Harbor is to be on
hand in singing number, while
the Tamalo Sisters will present a
few new and original ideas re-
garding the tango. Andrew Mich
litsch says he is reciter of clever
poems.
l.. R. Hale has a special army
and navy offering which should
prove to be interesting, while
Dora Smith Is an imitatoE OF
quaint little folks. Annie John
stone has a comical blackface act,
Oris J. Munson and Miss June
Wilder have a piano and singing
act and there is a special number
being imported from Seattle
which Manager Donnellan is
keeping as a surprise. AS a
whole it is a big bill, the regular
program being one of the best
seen at the Empress in some
time.
