ANNOUNCEMENTS
DAVIS THEATRE
Four Shows Today-at 1870, s.15, 8 and
9.15-Three Big Keith Acts and Tri-
angle Supreme PhotopIays.

There is not the slightest doubt but
that the show appearing at the Davis
today is right up to the standard and
possibly can be compared with the
best shows that have ever been seen at
this theatre The headline attraction
is Mayme Remington and her Bunga
Boo-1oo Babies, and they put over
one of the fastest singing and dane
ing acts in vaudeville. There are six
people in the act and they carry all
their own special scenery. Edmunds
and Leadon are the funniest pair that
has ever played here. They hand out
laughs from the moment they appear
on the stage until the close of the act.
Their speciality is called Going to the
Wedding, and you ought to see it. The
third act is Mando and Hunter in a
clever comedy sketch, called The
Crazy Recruit They also carry a spe-
cial stage setting and keep everyone
in roars. The male member does all
his talking tongue-tied and he is a
scream In the photoplays the fea-
ture is Lillian Gish in The Children
Pay, five part Fine Arts production
This is a story of society and di-
vorce and shows that it is not the
ones who ought to suffer but the chill
dren have to pay for the faults of the
parents. To complete the show Mack
Swain (Ambrose) is seen In a funny
two-ree1 keystone called His Bitter
Pill. and like all Keystone comedies
it is just one-half hour of hearty
laughter.
For the first half of next week an
other fine bill is arranged. The Keith
acts are Johnson Brothers and John
son, three merry minstrel men in a
lively comedy skit, Lillian Morley and
the McCarty Sisters present a dainty
singing, dancing and costume change
speciality. Waltour and the Princeton
Girls have a sensational acrobatic cy-
cling novelty, The Triangle feature is
Clara Williams and William Desmond
in The Criminal, a ive-part Ince pro-
duction, and the comedy viii be sup
piled by Hanz and Fritz, the original
Katzenjanmer Kids, heroes of the
Boston American colored supplements
