be one OF the strongest in point Of
entertaining quality ever seen in the
southwest. Two headline acts are
featured, and five other speclalities
announced that are termed unusual.
Topping the list Of acts Is Kitty
Doner and her versatile company.
Kitty Doner is in vaudeville and with
her is her sister Rose. Kitty is a
dancer, one OF the very best the
American stage has to offer and her
little sister Is also dancer but as
yet she has not gained the reputa-
ton Kitty enjoys. She is well on the
road toward it, II heredity has any
thing TO do with II, IL is only natural
to expect the Doncrs to be dancers.
Their parents and grandparents
were also dancers. Mrs. Doner was
at the very top In her day just as
Kitty IL at the very top In her day.
Not one member of the family has
followed any other calling In three

Kitty Doner Is sweet, petite and
pretty. She Is a bit OF radium, pull

In her work her smile plays as great
