Prior to the Coach, closed cars on

for most buyers.
A moderate priced closed car meant
a low-priced chassis.
The Coach, for the first time COM

gives every utility you can get in
any closed car. And you do not
forfeit performance, reliability and
mechanical excellence to obtain
these advantages at almost open

DANCING DUO
COPS KEITH
HONORS
Adelaide and Hughes Lead
Merry Band Of Big
Time Performers.

Adelaide and Hughes Americas
expert opponents of the art of
the dance" head an exceedingly
good Keith bill this week in the
most approved style. These peer
less steppers improve with each
appearance; each year they grow
better. This season, assisted by
Joseph Daily at the piano, they Of
Ter new feature, THE Elopement
OF the Toys" which represents the
most superior pantomime dancing
we can recall. OF course their
offering is interspersed with Their
established steps, many times
tested and found not wanting.
They're easily worth the price of
admission.
1t would indeed be difficult to
name the runner up in this excel
lent bill. Will Cressy and
Blanche Dayne, two of vaude-
ville's best known artists, return
in a hilarious playlet from the
pen of Mr.. Cressy entitled 1.-THE
Man Who Butted In" AS can
be gained from the title, the pre-
sentation depicts small town
life-with all its laughs.
Thomas e. Shea is seen with
his company in a dramatic pre-
sentation of sketches including
1.-THE Cardinal" THE Bells" and
DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE" three
of his best known characterize
tions. Shea, as usual, fills these
roles faultlessly.
Franklin and Charles pleases
with a finished production, IA
Vaudeville Surprise" We haven't
the slightest idea why it was so
named. The act consists of aero
batic dancing, feats of strength,
etc, the principals being assisted
by Ethel Truesdale at the piano.
Fleurette Joeffrie, the minia-
ture prima donna who has just
entered vaudeville's ranks, pos
sesses a clear, musical voice
which pleases, and the diminutive
misses, Beban and Mack, are
rightly named "A Vaudeville De-
light" Three Whirlwinds, who
open the bill, are sensational ac-
robats on roller skates. Their
act never lags.
Bert Fitzgibbon, the original
daffy dill, aided by brother Lew,
scored the biggest hit of the
evening with his typical line Of
tommy rot and nonsense. He
was repeatedly encored.
Completing the bill are Aesop's
Fables, Topics of the Day and
the Pathe News Pictorial, popu-
lar Keith features.

he was ON the verge OF a knock

Must Hit Harder
If johnson cannot hit any harder
than he did against Fulton, he is
liable to be knocked out by Jess
Willard. 1T takes II puncher TO put
big Jess down, even if he is fat, 40
and feeble.
Fulton proved that he is possessed

while johnson was guilty of many

designed to intimidate Fulton but
failed in their purpose.
