Bill For First Half
There's bill over Majestic way for
the first half of the week that ought to
strike tremendously popular with
everyone who likes vaudeville, ana
many who don't. Starting the bill is
the novelty act of the Four Vanders
and their revolving electric ladder. d
rather spectacular novelty of equlh-
brium. and electric lights. Dave Roth,
next up, is billed in versatility. He
not only proves his right to, but
clinches his title. He does quite "a
number of things. doesn't overdo them
and keeps things lively. John p. Wade
q Co. in The Coral Cameo" do a fine
bit of truly dramatic acting in genu-
inely interesting playlet. Cooper and
Ricardo do a number of unusual
things in the way of singing and dane
ing comedy. "A Holland Romance"
comes last with William Pruette as the
star. The act might be made oven
into better one if the recitative wer.
omitted, for there's too much music
used upon inconsequential bits and il
doesn't carry well. Mir. Pduette's voice
is pleasing and OF good timber; the
soprano a tritle too tremolo; the con-

much bass. Attempts at duets, trios
ana quartets were somewhat ineffect-
ual because of tn Sc oyerbalanees;
