Bobby Clark and Mccullough were
the main features Of the performance,
but since this pair have cast their
lot with the two-a-day Harry kelso
and Ed Quigley have been given a
chance to show their ability.
Harry Kelso does himself credit in
Clark's shoes, although the shoes are
q triie large, there being few come
dams with the natural gift of COM

Quigley work very well together. The
fun is never allowed to lag while
they are on the stage, their magician

Producing new and very laughable
features. Howard Morrissey, although
in a small part. evidently has the
making Of good comedian and>could
easily handle more work. Florence
barley made quite hit with a song
speciality. and Gertrude Mullen was
good in a number of songs and dances.
Grace Wallace and "Pirette" complete
the feminine cast
The Balzar troupe gave a difficult
exhibition of acrobatics, and the
Ignatz Pluto troupe gave a very
funny burlesque. Harry Kelso and
his brother Joe put on a clever club
swinging act that earned rounds of
applause. The chorus is the same
well trained dancing aggregation that
has become feature Of Bedfni shows.

MONTEvIDEO BECOMING
MECCA FOR MISMATED
Buenos Aires Press Calls Neighbor-
ing City Matrimonial
Safety Valve.

BUENoS AIRES, December 1s.-rhe
Uruguayan divorce laws have made
the city Of Montevideo the mecca Of
the ill-matched couples Of the neigh
boring republic Of Argentina.
The Buenos Aires newspapers refer
to Montevideo as matrimonial
safety valve and drily observe that
up-to-date divorce legislation has
been rendered unnecessary in Argen-
tina by the enterprise Of the Uru-
guayan law-givers
According to La Razon Of Buenos
Aires, the Montevideans (possibly in
a At of repentance for having dis.
solved 50 many Argentine unions), are
now endeavoring to hold the balance
even by making marriage an easy
and expeditions matter in their CAPT.
tai.
So far have they gone in the latter
direction that they have been con-
dsmned by both the Uruguayans and
Argentineans.. One cynical scribe, how
ever, remarks that the marriage
while you wait" system should serve
as an excellent feeder to the divorce
court in the slack season.
