William Fox production starring VIII.

the giant tree in the heart of the Cali

feet in height and it's base was Il
feet indiameter. Clyde De Wilma, the
camerman, photographed the falling
tree, but not without considerable per-

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE

ray Theatre has kept his word with
the vaudeville public if this weeks at
fractions at the Murray can be taken
as a sample of what is to be shown
during the winter months. Four
Keith acts make their appearance
Monday and the first half of this week,
Jolly Johnny Jones Company holds
the stellar position with a novel com
edy bounding wire act known as The
Stage Door Johnny" The real mirth
producer on the bill is Ernest Hiatt
who sings a wicked line of talk and
song, starting out slowly but warming
up toward the end of his act in a
manner to bring down the house.
Daisy and Wilson, acrobatics with
a special drop and an artistic stunt
open the amusement. Their stunts
are exceptionally good for those liking
this form of vaudeville. Jack Neville
| and company have good line in their
scene depicting an aviator with his
colored valet in the far north in search
| of the north pole Their rich humOr
comes from a rich imagination and
talk of the impossible.
The whole bill is considerably above
