Bulls smile had long been in rags,
but it shone brave through the tatters
Of his seamy face. He said nothing.
Selwood believed that If any man
at the barn could get into Bartoe's
that night alive, 1t would be Bull
Page. Bull, though janitor at Sell
woods place, left his wages impair
TALLY at the various dives along the
river front. He thus enjoyed a GER
tain standing in the lower town as
well as the upper, and he moved
without prejudice among the differ
ent factions Of the town.
II don't want to ask you to do any
thing wouldn't do myself-if I
could" said Selwood, explaining to
Bull what he meant to attempt "But
you can get through doors barred
against me and against any stranger;
and with you to guarantee stranger,
I might make 1t. Anyway, Bull, If
you're game well try; and they won't
get us both without some kind of
hearing"
Pardaloe and McAlpin were called

John, bring all Of them that want to
fight down to Bartoe's and maybe
they can be accommodated. I'm TAX

you and Scott come along, BILL" he
added to Pardaloe. "If we don't all
Of us get back, some Of us might"
"What are you going to doY' asked
Lefever.

Scott, with the quickest instinct of
his listeners, looked at the gambler
with a skeptical smile. you're not
going inside?"
II am, If can make It," returned
Selwood. He began to unbutton his
coat. "And I'll borrow your hat and

a splendid example of what a hokum
vaudeville bill should not be. 1t has
lot of quantity, but very little
quality.
1t goes to Ben Barton and his or
chestra for taking this show out of
the rut. This orchestra is a subSti-
tute act, taking the place, I under
stand, of Helen Lewis and her Melo-
dy WeaverS.
Barton has tried to get the modern
idea of an orchestral presentation
on the vaudeville stage. And he has
succeeded. He keeps his act from
becoming common. He does not de-
Scend to low comedy at any time.
He does not go beyond the ability
of his entertainers. He plays snappy
melodies in the right way and he
introduces them in a new way. This
act has novelty as we'll as class.
Easily the winner on this bill.

sells too much egotism before he
shows his artistry in steps. This

Bad.
Diana Bonnar either has a bad
voice or was in bad voice yesterday
afternoon. She is not vaudeville.
More like concert recital.

1 should call special attention to
Rogers and Donelly ina sIapstick

act has genuine merit, but they de-
velop the punch way too late. The,
mans burlesque on musical instru-
mentS is WOW. Here is strange
comedy, but finely put over when
this team gets started.
AS usual be your own Judge of this
show. You have my idea.

LOOKING OVER
EVENTS AT MUTUAL

Norma Noel has returned to the
Mutual again, this year with THE
Girls of the U. S. A." George Carol
is backing her up in the heavy COM
edy stuff.
This is a fast show from a stand
point of action, for the comedy and
songs are kept going with scarcely a
lag. The book is not so much and
depends, for the greater part on the
principals.
Byran Wolfe plays the piano while
Norma, who seems to be the whole
show, sings some blues" that is not
SO bad. In my estimation the whole
worth Of the show is in this act.
Eddie Aeken, I think the name is
does some solo numbers. This man
has good voice and a personality
TO go with it. An advantage to the
show. Several members of the
chorus do some individual things
that have a lot Of promise.

master touch. This is good for many

Acrobats and acrobatic dancing
