agreeable appearance. had several fair
notes in her songs. though she had a
truly vaude lillian gasp. Jack Lexey and
AL Rome danced quite well and intro
duced grotesaue steps that delighted
tho crowd.
The war skit, Somewhere in France"
has been coming around at intervals for
several seasons but still gets across
with big punch Max c. Cooper and
Irene Ricardo's sonk comedy, "Ah,
Gimme the Ring" is aHother old timer
in which the feminine part OF the team
produces most Of the comedy--slap-
stick variety without propa--and the
masculine end tackles the singing with
serious intent.
Palfrey. Hall and Brown presented
varieties OF comedy the lady appearing
IN a sensational representation of the
sword dance and the low-com edian CIV
Ing genuinely remarkable exhibition
OF dancing and high kicking from the
unstable vantage point of monocycle
The news pictures were Of the usual
high class.

Circus Wagons Crash
Into Bridge Railing

Only the iron and concrete which
compose the railing of the Mulberry
street bridge prevented several cir
Gus wagons from plunging to the
ground below last night. Six men
were seated on the first wagon, and
one of them suffered slight injuries
in the wild scramble of all to get
off before they should go over the
edge.
The wagons were being drawn
across the bridge by tractor when
shortly above Tenth street the coup
ling at the motor broke and the
trucks slipped off to the side and
jumped over the curb. AS they
crashed against the concrete pillar,
which stopped them, the men seated
on top leaped to the ground, two
of them hitting the walk together
which resulted in severe bruises for
the one. The main light wire was
broken in the smash and the bridge
lights were extinguished for over
an hour.
