The act is a decided novelty. A real big time act is that presented by John son & Buckley, a lady and gentleman who will appear at this house for the remainder of the week. Their spe- cialty consists of singing, dancing and talking, with fine costume changes, mended by the best houses in the Cards is the billing of the third num- who has been in America but short time, is a corking monologist and a scientific card manipulator and his act is very amusing as welt as interest ing. Today only, the Exploits of Elaine will be shown and this seventh episode is the most thrilling seen yet. Other photoplays today are The Wayward Son, a drama, and His Doctors Or ders, a Joker comedy. All next week the Honey Mooners, the Marcus nu- sical attraction No. company has been booked. This is a better and bigger musical comedy show than any that have played here this season..
