Not a vacant seat in orchestra or llrxt balcony could be discerned, and the gal- lery looked to be packed to overflowing. This condition seemed more like the opening of a season than Its waning one, for there wasn't a "wane" In view on Thursday. It fell to the lot of the Held Sisters to start the vaudeville going In acrobatic dan- cing of excellent calibre.

Home of their musical efforts were novel, and these seemed to get them by nicely. Dorothy Mentbcr. a vocalist, deserved credit for putting over her numbers with a singing voice which was not powerfully! strong nor of much range. She looked stun- ning upon her first appearance In a costume of old rose color, and the same may be said of her costume of red silk. She rendered "Oh, Mr. Dream Man" very pleasingly, and passed fairly well with "Marguerite," In * change to Italian costume. Her closing with "Ragtime Goblin Man" earned three bows for her. Jones and Parks, In the familiar sketch, "The Fighter and the Ross,'' were all to the good.

It may not be generally known that all fairs listed In the United States must first be licensed by the Secretary of Agriculture of the Btates In which the.fairs are to bo held. Hence It Is obvious that no complete list of fairs that la accurate can possibly be published until after all of the fairs are licensed. Notwithstanding- this striking fact, some publications brazenly publish, early In the season, what they call a fair list for tbe current year, Several times wc have known et these lists being tested, with the result that only a small percentage of the dates were found to be correct. The enterpris- ing ( 1) publishers secure a few correct fair datcB, and tbe rest they guess, at, using last year's list as a guide. A list made up In tbls way Is of no value whatever, and Is CAPT.
