 Taylor Jackson and Co.,, at Polls, present a musical act that is alto- gether different from the usual run of such offerings. Theirs is refresh ing bit of entertainment with just the right combination of songs, dances and 1azzy musical numbers. A jazz or chestra of five men assist the two principals in putting over" two or three of this seasons very latest song hits.
 For real sfde-sp1itting laughter Car son and Willard, in their comedy of fering entitled 'tDr. Gombo,'' certainly have the prescription. Without a doubt they are two of the dro11est men that have ever set foot on a vaudeville stage. John s. Blondy and Co., present one of those entirely pleasing tumbling acts in which it is the aim of the performers to go through their Dit without g. trace of the old-time slapstick meth ods. Chic, lisping Miss Oden stands beside MT. Holland in their skit, 'T Beg Your Pardon,'' and looks for all the world like some dainty Parisienne doll.
 Wallace Reid, in Hawthorne of the U. s. A., is exceptionally clever. A Pathe News Weekly and a really II.
 PLAZA.
 The show at the Plaza theatre is just as good as the management pre- d1cted and even better for every act from start to finish scored a gigantic hit. To use boxing terms it is surely a knockout" The feature picture '"The Fortune Hunter" is a classic Of the screen adapted from Winchel1 Smiths famous stage success that be- came a sensation at the Gaiety thea tre, New York, for over year. Mo tion pictures have gained another triumph. Once more the screen eclipses the legitimate stage in the production of 9 famous play. If The Fortune Hunter was a winner in the realm of the spoken drama, it is perfection as a screen classic. The greatest praise that can be given any entertainment is to say that it held a large audience and won favorable comment as the spectators were pass ing out of the theatre. There is no greater critic than the general public. Entertainment is made for the masses and falls or stands by public opin- ion. Last nights audience at the Plaza was solid in it's approval of fHThe Fortune Hunter" the seven act drama in which the popular Earle Williams is starred. The feeling of "here is some thing worth whi1e," was in the air. The audience caught the enthusiasm of the cast of capable players and for the moment 'Tke Fortune Hunter became a reality. It went over big. One became so a5- sorbed in the story that criticism was impossible.
 The vaudeville show. too, is above criticism Every feature of it was thoroughly welcomed at the start and heartily applauded at the finish. The bill started off with the Corten Sis ters, an unusually pretty and clever pair of misses, who have travelled tEe world over, as is shown by the slides directly run before the opening Of the act. They give various songs and dances as seen by them in the different parts of the world and they are, to say the least, admirably done. Next. came Courtenay and Irwin, man and woman in comedy variety skit entitled @.It Just Happened" The setting is of the log cabin type and one of the characters a cowboy, who sings several songs to good results The girl is a very capable dancer and made no small hit with the audience A pretty nIIle SloIy lsS 1hlSl "O'O3i " tween the songs and dances. George and Rae Perry, a boy and girl Win banios- completely captivated the bouse and they were called back for several encores Their playing could not apparently be improved The last act is Joe Fanton and Co. Of SIX in a novelty act called "A Morning 1n Camp
 It came as complete surprise to the spectators as they were at loss 10 know just what the nature of the act really was until it was half over. IL opens with a pretty setting indicating an army camp and Red Cross nurse singing. Then comes little sooo comedy and as a finale the best rou- tine of novelty tunbling ever seen Fl Bridgeport.
