preSsiOns of Famous Actors.

Although billed as the headline at
traction this week, it is doubtful, ex-

quality of Miss Gould's Impressions"
but emphasizes the loyalty Of San An

Combining remarkable personal
lty with store of seemingly mex
haustible wit. Miss Barry, support

most entertaining acts of the year.

followed by peals OF laughter.

even learned TO twirl the rope in true
cowboy fashion as she keeps up her
line of chatter. Other impressions"
offered by the accomplished young
woman include that of Al .Jolson in
one of his iggestsuccesses. Nanny"

Joe Rome and Lou Gaut. is a riot OF
fun. Rome is the Mutt of the two
