There are two acts on the new
Theater this week that
Paxtang would be acceptable as
Park the headline attraction
with almost any Vaude-
Vile bill. One is Lady Aliees Pets,
on of the most pretentious animal
acts in Vaudeville, and the other is
Elcota, the king of xylophone players;
Lady Alice and her happy Family OF
cats, dogs and parrots is an ANNA NINA
act that has won fayorable recogni-
tion from the press and VaudeVllle
fans from coast to coast. The novelty
and refinement, as well as the DAINTY
manner in which Lady Alice induces
her pets to perform their various
stunts has made this Offering one OF
the most pleasing animal acts on the
vaudeville stage.
As for Elcota. there is hardly a
vaudeville patron in America who
does not recognize him as the king
of all performers on the Xylophone.
Other acts that will contribute their
bit toward making this weeks blll
at Paxtang success, are the Two
White Steppers, a singing and dane
ing novelty with metropolitan repu,
tation; Bruce and Betty Moran, LAD
and a lassie, with piano, who enter
tain with canny Scotch comedy ana
Highland music while they are on the
stage. and Nibo, a comedy Jusgler,
whose grotesque antics never fan TO
please.
The park swimming pool is now
open for the season. The boats ana
canoes on the lake and the swim
ming pool have been put under new
management and numerous improve
ments in the equipment have been
made.
