Mr. and Mrs. Carter De- Haven were unexpectedly Jumped into the bookings as headliner In lieu of "The Bride Shop," which had been announced. The act did not open to enthusiasm, but quickly picked up because of the excellent staging of the songs and closed big. Joe Welch was good In his monolog, but seemed to drag In places in a manner there seemed to be no excuse for considering the wealth of material he has and does not use. Sam Barton, billed as "The 811ent Tramp." furnished some comedy that was a riot There is a big field In Boston for low brow comedy that Is abso- lutely clean and the way that Barton's act went demonstrated It effectively. The Depace Opera Company went big in a clean musical act that ran as smooth as a whistle. It wai the first time here. Hale Norcross and Co. In "Love In the Suburbs" contained so much small time stuff It opened the bill although originally planned to play B. It got a lot of laughs and went well enough to win the place originally scheduled.
