Deaves' Royal Manikins

Il laughs were dollars, Dedves'
Royal Manikins would be mil
lonaires many times over The
Young and old alike will choke
with g,ee when these famous
mechanical puppets regale Chat
tauquaus on the first night.
The Manikins have their own
little miniature stage, complete in
every detail, showing the interior
Of a thcater with boxes, audience,
and orchestra of remarkable life
like figures. On this little stage
the Manikins give one Of the most
astonishing performances imagin.
able. In their program there will
be nimble acrobats, celestial dane
ers, Cakewalk teams, funny come
dams, buCking mules and many
other things too numerous to men
ton.
Of course, the most wonderful
thing done by the Manikins is the
act called The Bottom of the Sea, "
taken from Jules Nerne's Twenty
Thousand Leagu Under the Sea. -
This shows with life-like realism,
the combat between the deep sea
diver and the octopus, dance of
the sea nymphs and rescue of the
>unken tseasure ship.
During the whole show by the
Manikins droll figure sits in the
Manikin theater box, next to the
miniature stage, convulsing folks
with his continuous uproarious APP
plause for the performer. Also
the ladies orchestra of eight figures
beats time TO the songs and action
on the stage.
Grown-ups are going to enjoy
the Manikins as much as the kid,
dies. They are what the theatrica,
press agent would accurately de.
scribe as a scream from start to
finish. Besides being excrucia-
tingly funny, the Manikins are
really instructive.
