AT THE GARRICK.


Novelty Is the keynote Of very
clever bill announced for the Garrick
Theatre this week, and. incidentally.
the bill, which comprises nine acts
and 40 people, is one of the most
elaborate seen here for some time
This Is particularly true Of one OF
the feature acts. "a Dream OF the
Orient" which is given by a company
of clever Oriental girls. directed by
Madame Makarenko. with ID. Makar-
enko as the musical director. and
also featuring Charles ]. Adler This
acts Is especially staged. Another
clever feature OF the bill Is the act
that will be put on by Yuma. known
as the human enigma, for the reason
that he can do many things that APP
pear to be impossible, merely because
he can manipulate his body in a man
ner which seems beyond the range
Of human possibility. The remainder
of the bill is Of the same interesting
order There are two specially inter-
esting comedy features "Eiopins,
which will be given by Derrick and
Hart and their company, and "lhs
Pension ONCE" by Lawrence and Ed
