Migalo and Conception are a bit
out OF old Spain. Sometimes their
lines almost offend. but never are
they more Spanish than In those
places. Ben Hendricks. as Pepuso;
Gus Wineburg. as higalo. and Kenyon
Bishop, as Conception. cannot be i'm
proved upon.

With the spanish orchestra en-

formers thronGing the aisles and
much of the action staged on the
moor before the stage, a certain note
of intimacy 10 struck. never to fail
to the very end.

B. r. kEITH'S.
There are enough good acts on the
bill at b. r. Keith's this week to take
Il out OF the class of the usual sum-
mer vaudeville show. and enough solid
enjoyment to make one almost for
get the hot weather.
Redford and Winchester opened the
bill with some rather clever juggling.
Jennie Middleton. violinist, played
creditabiy. She was garbed as little
girl. but-we wonder.
Giruran and Marguerite. dancers
extraordinary. presented a 0ance re-
vue, that was novel and entertaining.
Both are whirlwind dancers and hold
their own with any Of tho big terpsi-
chorean acts.
A. Robins. with his pockets full Of
cola psible instruments, and styled as
the walking music store" played"
on his many instruments, that 10. by
voice he initiated them. His imita-
tion Of a mandolin. and that tnstru-
ment Of torture. the steel guitar, were
exceptionally good.
Laura Pierpont, assisted by q capa-
BILE company presented a New Hamp-
shire" sketch. that was a combina-
ton of way Down East" "Shore
Acres" and kindred "mellerdrammer."
or the two real hits of the evening.
perhaps the honors go to the Master
singers. a triple quartet of real sing
ers. They featured the songs that
dad and mother used to sing thirty
years ago. and the audience could
have gone on listening to them indefi-
nitely. The setting and the manner
of grouping OF the singers added
genuine charm to the act.
Bob Hall. that extemporaneous
chap. long years a favorite with vau-
deville Eoers. chatted in verse about
the preceding acts, made up rhymes
about the people in the audience, and
capped II all by making songs on the
spot about any topic that the audi
ence cared to select. He was stumped
for the moment by some Heard and
Seen fan who wanted q few lines on
the genus curb lizard that Is sup
posed to infest F street. 1t required
soto voice information from the or
chestra leader to enable him to come
to bat without striking out.
The bill was closed by the Ballot
Trio, two girls and a man who juggle
cannon balls with As much ease as
II they were using tennis balls.
Usual house features were inter-
spersed through the evening.
