dance and make fun, will be the

to duplicate her former appear

Nut comedians are taking
the medals away from the dis
pensers of legitimate comedy now
a-days, and among the pecans re-
sponsible for the new brand Of
laugh-provoking stuff are Lewis
and Chaplin, male with an
eighth of ton draped over his
frame, and a female whose every
move jars her wish-bone.
Norris and his company of
trained animals will be one OF the
bright spots on the bill.
Vera Berliner, featured as
1.-THE Violiniste With a Soul" can
be relied upon to furnish some of
the close of the program.
Remarkably sensational dances,
and some character songs, will be
offered by the Moronos.
Richards and Ward will be
heard in refined singing and

tifying to really make them COM
Portable, and they gave their un-
qualified approval of Count Per-
rome, a former French soldier,
who has a beautiful baritone voice,
and Miss Trix Oliver, accompanist,
who also sings with him. Their
act is most attractive and I'M
usuals
Miss LaMar's offering is one Of
the best of its kind. She works
with lightning -rapidity and an
swers all sorts of questions. She
introduces q novelty when she de-
scribes the complexion and clothes
of people in an entire row of
seats.
Thomas Dugan and Babette
Raymond, In "They Auto Know
Better" are a riot of fun. The
chief performer in the act is an
automobile which refuses to act
like any ordinary automobile. The
crowd demanded more and more
OF their fun. Dugan is a splendid
comedian, and Miss Raymond a
charming foil.
Loney Haskell is a veteran mo-
nologist with a rapid line of stuff
which ends with a patriotic poem.

1t isn't easy to do these stunts
by any means. If you think so
just try. But there is a way they
can be done and here's the secret:
Walk 10 miles at a stiff gait.
After the walk spend 20 minutes
or so doing army setting-up ex-
ercises. Follow this with a shower
or sponge bath.
Practice breathing exercises
every morning and evening. Re-

yards, talking baseball to all the
players that he knew, and getting
acquainted with all the ball

reported enthusiastically that
there were enough first class play

fast teams. The shipyards will
only have one club, however, Sc
