are some excellent vocal numbers,
nightly well done. and then, too, there
are one or two dance numbers eXecut-
ed in a manner quite as good as the
real grown-ups. The act too, is not
without comedy, but most forcefully
does it appeal because of it's real stage
polish on the part of the youngsters
Pietro follows next on the bill. Quite
an ovation greeted him as he stepped
onto the stage, and with all of his
mannerisms and little tricks of the ac-
cordeon. he won new favor from those
in the audience who were listening to
him for the first time, and made more
than ever, enthusiasts of those who
have heard him before. The Adroit
Brothers close the Majestic bill for the
first half week. They are called musi-
cal gymnasts, and they live up to their
name. Playing the violin in itself Is no
easy work. but playing the violin while
and upside down at that, is stunt
worth going out of ones way to see.
Yes. the Majestic Bill is really good.

INreisler,

Seldom does one see a vaudeville bill
as pleasing as the one at the Walnut
Street playhouse for the first
Review half of the week There's
of the enough of all kinds of acts
Majestic to give the desired variety
and there's something for al
most every kind of taste. Dempsey and
Lovera start the bill with an act de-
voted mainly to dancing, which is
really good, and then it is burlesqued
in a most entertaining manner. One
soft-shoe dance number is quite eXcep-
tional. Laurie and Bronson, in pre-
senting a comedy singing and talking
act adhere more closely than is GUS
tomary to a logical sequence. Naturally
it distinguishes their act. which, while
not uproariously funny. draws from the
audience quite few laughs. Laskys
juvenile act, "At the Party" is remark
able from several viewpoints. There

DANGEROUS VARICOSE
VEINS CAN BE REDUCED

If you or any relative or friend is
worried because of varicose veins, or
punches, the best advice that anyone
in this world can give is to get a pre-
scription that many physicians are
now prescribing.
Ask your druggist for an original
two-ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (full
strength) and apply night and morn
ing to the swollen, enlarged veins. Soon
you will notice that they are growing
smaller and the treatment should be
continued until the veins are of normal
size So penetrating and powerful Is
Emerald Oil that it dissolves goitre and
wens and causes them to disappear 1t
can always be secured at all drug
gists.-Advertisemen
