The Attraction at the Star Theater
Next Week.
Next week 'The Tempters, will
tempt you at the Star Theater. Be
tempted because "The Tempters" is
the biggest production that will play
at this theater all season. With a
company of sixteen of burlesque's fore.
most stars among whom Max Field,
Sidney Rogers, Harry Keeler, George
Belts, Roderick Macdonald, Dave
Peyser, Brad. Boston, Nat. Hoffman,
Walter Greaves, George Harrington,
ruth Everett, Marie Elmer, Anna Fink,
Charlotte Turner, Monte Reynolds
and Laura Branner are featured
and a chorus of twenty-four girls
selected for their beauty, shapliness
and ability to dance and sing.
The show greatly out-shines IT'S
former attempts which were al
ways regarded as burlesque's best.
Bib sets, elaborate costumes, novel
effects, original numbers, scintilating
wit and tuneful music of the whistling
kind, place it in class by itself in
burlesque, but withal it is strictly bur-
lesque. There will be a midnight
show Sunday, New Years eve.
