OTTAWA. August 27.-The following
American names appear on late casualty
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-01-26
At the Illinois.

A show of five corking good vaude-
vile acts opens at the Illinois Sun
day, Jan. q. Each act possesses many
novelty features and as whole the
show is one of unusual merit.
The Hillyers will present an act as
unique as it is clever. The team are
splendid entertainers both in song and
dance and employ an entirely different
method in presenting their act. With a
miniature stage and all it's settings.
the Hillyers are the puppets, that is,
only the faces of the people are shown,
the rest of the body being that of a
diminutive puppet. Plenty of comedy
keeps up the speed of the act and We
know that this clever team will be a
close runner for first honors.
Rose and Thorne, the Yale boy and
the Swede girl, will please everyone
with their bright comedy skit. Miss
Thorne gives splendid character bit
of a Swede girl and finally appears IN
evening gowns. Mr.. Rose has great
singing voice which he uses to splen-
did advantage.
Kresko and Fox will be heard in a
rapid fire talking act before a special
drop. Aviation, the craze or the cen
fury, will be the subject from which
much comedy is derived. This act
guarantees a laugh minute and with
their funny line of talk they cannot
help but be big nit.
The Musical Mikes will offer must
cal melange interspersed with funny
songs and playing of comedy musical
instruments. In spite of the fact OF
their ludicrous makeups and uproar-
GUS funniosities, the boys are must
clans Of rare ability.
The Spartan Trio will present an
act entitled Roman Sports and Pas
times" In series Of artistic gladia-
torial poses they will also offer many
excellent acrobatic stunts In q man.
mer to cause much surprise.
A Pathe weekly of recent release
and comedy feature Will also be
shown.

and character. Marie Fay is a re-

Of unusual ability. The lines are
snappy, bright and replete with

pleasing to everybody. Ellis Nowlan

Sawdust Arena" is the title of Mr..
Newlan's recent production 1t is a
perfect. miniature circus in every de-
tail, even to the parade. for no circus
is complete without that necessary es-
sential.s, Ellis Nowlan is possibly the
best of all originators in this line.
With his wonderful ideas of comedy,
it naturally follows that the number
would be funny. Hiatt and Gear are
presenting an up-to-the-minute sing
ing act under the caption of "The
High-Gear Boys" and not for one min
ute do they slip into low gear" but
for their allotted time give clean,
snappy performance Of real entertain

the bill are Vera Berliner, The Vio-
liniste With Soul" and the Ziras,
in a series of classy ideas. On &C
