The warm reception given Nine.

Nine. DOree's sufficient proof that
Celebrities at local vaudeville de-
the Majestic votees were more
than glad to have
them back after their success in Har-
risburg last season. This aggrega-
tion of superfine vocalists are recog-
nized as one oS the finest in vaude-
vile, and Nine. Doree is certainly to
be congratulated in her careful selec-
tion of singers. The stage setting is
attractive and serves as a pleasing
background for these artists, who
give representations of famous song
birds of the Metropolitan Opera House
and concert stage. With the aid of a
little Imagination one could almost
imagine themselves listening to the
original artists, for both in appear
ance and voice there is startling re-
semblance. A good comedy show sur
rounds this attraction. Jessie Stand
ish, dainty singing comedienne, won
a warm place in the hearts of yester-
days audiences. Her song numbers
are original and are put over in pleas
ing style. Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Cop
