A BARREL, A MAN AND
GIRL GOOD COMBINATION

Years ago in another city, saw
Chester Spencer and Lola Williams.
Years ago, Chester followed Miss
Williams on the stage rolling a bar
rel. There was nifty. and rapid
conversation with Spencer doing the
nut stuff.
Years have passed, but Chester
and Miss Williams have kept the
barrel, the. conversation and the
same old line Of talk. The years
have not changed the result as it
remains just the same. This couple
Is still hit You will run across
Spencer and Williams at the Lyric
this week. Here is couple that
knows how to deliver eccentric ma.

yesterday at the Lyric, because
Chester Spencer knows how I'd put
life and personality into mere words.
His trick of explaining the be-
ginning of the act to those who ar
rive late is a sure laugh getter. This
couple doesn't seem to get old.
Spencer seems to know the formula.
Still corking good eccentric act.
Dave White Is one OF those youth
full persons who dances WELL but is
wise enough to place not only good
looking but talented girls in his act.
He also knows the value Of smart
scenic beauty. One Of the girls is
good toe dancer.
Little Lord Robert is one Of the
shortest comedians in the business,
but he does female representations
just the same. Has rather clever
idea in introducing his act. He also
has an interesting take.off on Valen-
tino.
Wilson and Giles indulge in a
conversation and some dancing un-
der the title Of "Darktown Frolics. .
Doyle and Dunn have an act about
sailors. They sing a bit. Bob, Bob

BARRIERS GAIN
VAST STORE
Of WISDOM
Invasion by Flapper Makes
Listeners Out Of
'Jokers.'

Wisdom that would have made old
King Solomon turn green with envy
has come to the barber of today.
And, the worst of it is, he owes
his vast store of knowledge TO the
flapper-
Or rather, he is indebted to the
+. t woman that invaded mans
sanctuary-thc barber shop-and had
her golden tresscs bobbcd.
Only n few months ago BARRIERS
were forced to listen to numerous
jokes.
NOW HE'S SILENT.
"Say, didia hear tn one about the
fat lady and the travelling salesman"
the wit and customer would ques-
lion.
His yarn was usually greeted with
loud pcals of laughter.
Now. however, the tune has
changed.
When the joker starts to tell his
"story" he is quickly silenccd with
a: Ssh. There's n lady in the next
chair"
"Er-shave please" he grunts.
He then becomes as silent as n
tomb or else he engages the man in
the other chair in conversation per-
tanning to the topics of the day.
DESERVES HER PRAISE.
And this is the secret of how the
barber is acquiring his trunks of
knowledge.
Political tangles that nations would
give millions to have unravellcd arc
solved.
The customers also take up other
problems-somc which are still.
wrinkling the brows of foreign cab
nets.
The barber listens to all, and after
each shave, he is wiser by the Gus
TONER'S conversation.
The flappcr deserves her praise.
