Hagler and King as the entertainers
Of the evening, Robert King and
James Conley being the hit of The
evening during the first part, while
Magdaline and Pauline got all that
was coming to them with their late
song numbers. Tracy Jordon, the
famous interloeutor, was the final
scream with his most beautiful bal
lad, as usual put over with his sweet
lyric tenor voice, after which Hagler
closed the First Part with his jazz
number, the Kitchen Stove Rag.
The 0lio opened up with the little
man with the educated feet, the
whirlwnd buck and wing dancer,
after which he tops things off with
little waltz clogg encores sufficence.
What knocked them out of the seats
was this great number. The dainty
soubrette and chorus who was the
real scream and did their bit was
Magdalene, the little girl that has
them all wondering Then came the
man with Il barrel of jokes that will
keep any one full of laughter from
the time Of his appearance until his
departure King and Drake entered
with d very nice talking act which,
as being new before the public, was
taken very nicely. Then followed the
one single number which received
much praise and several encores and
always do her bit was no more than
Pauline Payton. The last part Of the
olio came the two city favorites, the
boys that always pleases, and being
placed on this strong bill as Headlin-
ers, they well filled the bill and it
was well noticed that they had been
cut, they used their own origina
jokes throughout their entire act.
The public will always remember
these famous funmakers, Tracy and
Koots. The afterpieca was the final
hit as when Al. T. King as Uncle EPH
and Roots Hagler as Aunt DINAH
and Willie Brown as Rastus entered,
the house went up in laughter and as
they closed this act everybody left,
yelling for an early return date,
which this company will try and do
