AT THE GARRICK.

Anybody who enjoys music will ap-
preciate the offering Of the Scotch
lads and lassies who are appearing at
the Garrick Theatre this week. under
the direction of Jack Wyatt This is
one of the most interesting troupe OF
musicians on the vaudeville circuit,
and as all of the members are tall
ented Scotch persons, the act is that
much more interesting, for they inject
a great deal of the Scotch dialect into
their work, and that is decidedly in
teresting, not only to people from the
old world, but also to Americans.
The manner n which they dance, sing
and play Scotch instruments is Won
derful. The pretty little sword dane
ing stunts of the girls is especially in
teresting. This is only one of the real
features of a clever bill. which has
been greeted by a full house at each
performance so far this week. In
fact, it was necessary to turn people
away at both performances Monday
and also last night, and the indica-
tions are that big business will be the
rule all the week.
