THE CHILDREN THIS WEEK

Mister Lyric this week is a sort Of
host to the children, as severa! of
the acts will make the children go
wild with joy.
The children will meet Pony Boy
and Mary in the first act. Pony Boy is
trained pony who dances, plays
musical instrument and acts nearly
human. He frOlics with cats and
dogs. Quite a real pal is Pony Boy
and one that the children will love.
The children are always interested
in magicians. So the bill includes
Roland Travers and several bags of
tricks. He introduces the Follies
Girl and does an Oriental rope
mystery. A rope is tied around the
arms of a girl She starts climbing
- ladder. Suddenly she disappears,
leaving only the rope and the ladder,

questions put to him by patrons. He
is a splendid Snowman although | do
not care for this brand of entertain
ment myself. l know that many
people do because all of the engage
ments of this man here are success
full.
Kaufman and Lillian offer
eccentric comedy material with the
woman doing most Of the work
along this line. The comedy is slap
stick, but registers. Ross and Ed
wards are eccentric dancers and
singers. They are expert hooters.
Bayles and Patsy. think I have the
name correct, have hopeless comedy
material. They hove a singer placed
in box. 1t is this man who really
causes the act to really make some
Roadway.
The Dinus- Belmont Players go in
