(Review).
 A little bit of Irish with little bit Sctch delightfully."- blended with clever singing and dancing. and you I have The Shamrock-Thistle Revue. | The Revue well deserves it's place as Polls headliner for the early part of | the week. It's song numbers were especially worthwhile. an Irish folk | song by sweet voiced colleen and a splendid imitation of Harry Lauder making the biggest hits. There were l hornpipes and medley reels and 1 comedy dance number by a buxom | lass of Scotland who balanced the l act well with her eccentric stepping. l Regal and Mack in a clever book | store sketch have very fine batter and dance act, The well costuned dance numbers that she gracefully i and ably put across. The batter of Mack was on a new line that soon caqght the applause of the audience. scale was ofiered by Jennings and MaZier. Their jokes and chatter were restfully new and entertaining. Both were splendid dancers, and they cIogged their way to a sure fire hit.
 Josephine and Harrity had another black face act as the opener. while Rarity carried the number with his witticisms Rnd well arraug- ed talk of Oddities of Advertising" Their jokes were rather ancient and l lhe dCI "ould TdV6 D00n ably improved with the addition of more dancing and the subtraction of | less batter. Harrtty put over a nov city dance that has not been equan- ed here in some time, particularly | when he favored by dancing upside | down."
 The Plaza Trio in a. song and dance | completed the program that we'll de- served the plaudits of the capacity | house.
 I Zane Grey's "The Man of the Forts,' was the photop1ay attraction. It was a melodrana better than the usual run with plenty of exciting cli- maxes and thrills. The introduction | of @ big, black bear and 8 tame mountain lion into the cast was un- usual and provided comedy as well as interest.
