EDDIE CANTOR OPENS
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
A theatrical offering of more than ordi-
nary interest is promised at the Murat
for its Christmas week attraction, COM
mencing Monday afternoon, with the en-
gagement of Eddie Cantor in 1.-The Md
night FOUNDERS" which comes to this

Over" "Dapper Dan," I'm Nobody's

forts in the entertainment line to mere
singing-in three different skits he con-

acterizations and through his ability as
a fun-maker, particularly true is this OF
the one called "Joe's Blue Front" the
scene laid in "puIler-in" clothing store
with Mr.. Cantor playing the role OF
Hebrew tailor.

comes in for chief mention. Formerly .
vaudeville headliner Of prominence, Miss
Halperin has proven that she is just as
pleasing in musical shows. Then there Is
Harry Kelly, he Of the famous Deacon
Jones characterization and the drol
voice: Lew Hearn with his funny clothes
and long necktie; Joe OPP, straight man
for the others; Jean Carroll, Muriel De-
Forrest. Alice Ridnor, Ge5rgie Hale,

MINsTRELS BOOKED
AT ENGLISH'S MONDAY.
The moan of the saxorhone" has be-
come essential and indispensable to any
form of musical entertainment, these
days Of Jazz and fOxtrot. Few musi-
cal instruments have attained the vogue
that has fallen to the saxophone, as wit
ness the use of entire saxophone choirs
in modern military bands and many sym
phony Orchestras.
The saxophOne quartet is not a new
theatrical entertainment is one Of the
real RACES of the current season. No
j truer demonstration of this fact is to be
found than that the Al. G. Field min
strels has adopted it for its current pro-
duction.
THE Saxoland Four" is the name of
tho ouartette which the Field show boasts
this year as its musical hit Its mem
bers are finished performers on this dif-
ficuIt but indispensable instrument and
they sax" a wicked phone" to quote
one critic of the show. The artists in
this clever act are Carl Cameron, Rody
Jordan, Bonnie Kenner and Harry Cor
ley.
Three Of these musicians work in
whitefaee, while Rody Jordan provides
the comedy of the four, working in
bIackface and dispensing a brand Of fun
with his monster bass saxOphone which
has proven more OF a hit this year than
any other musical act yet furnished.
The engagement opens Monday after
noon at English's and closes Wednesday
night
