not entirely a past, because it is almost
a present At least, in telling her
Patsy makes the present exceedingly
funny.
Frank and Tbble Shell, finable danc
ers with a new and decidedly worthy
Idea, will present a routine of interpre

mythology, this team interprets In most
comprehensive manner everything things
everybody is familiar with, thereby
miking an appeal that Is universal.
Through It all 1s a thread of comedy that
is irresistible.

the performances of real artists and are
such as to appeal to the most discrim
inating.
"A Holland Hallowe'en" Is the title
of the novel little sketch that Charles
Xevins and Ada Gordon will present. Al
though it is most engrossing little novel

the fact that Xevlns and Gordon are
playing in it is th* best recommendation
that can be given the act. For the per
sonality of these vaudeville stars is al

and a factor.which always spetls suc
