The best show of the season is now
at the Novelty theater. Every act
from that of the scantily attired Egyp-
tan dancer to the final tumpllng ae

like il has never been played here be-
fore He could actually make the in
strument talk" Burkhart and keiso
entertained with a new set of comedy
tricks Not a single joke came in
on crutches. The finale was uproar-
Iously funny. The Gaudsmits had. IN
the opinion of large part of the
audience the most finished act on the
program. 1t might be noted that no
one walked out on this act, as they
nave done occasionally before on
tumbling stunts. AS for Evelyn Cum
ningham she was game" for the mat
inee and first night show. Miss Cum
ningham had a bad case of grip, but
she held the boards for two perform
ances before she kicked in" She
was excused at the last show.
Nerna Misereau was the attraction
which brought out the capacity
houses. She bore out her reputation
of being a classy dancer. Her perfect
ly formed limbs were much in evil
dence. Miss Misereau's partner did
not do any dancing but was very ef-
iecllVe IN helplng the charming young
lady disrobe on the stage. s j.
