The act was replaced after the Monday show by Mile. Marlon with a protean act Llbonatl, In fourth position, did some fast work on the xylophone. He was one of the show's hits. Gorman Broth- ers and Leopold proved capital entertainers. In their "Fatlma Brown" number, one of the brothers does some dance steps on the piano Just above the keyboards. The boys scored nicely. Zerthos Novelty dog act, closed the show. PALACE (Harry Singer, mgr.; agent, Or- pheum).—Prank 1 in snd Green sre again the headline attraction here this week, this being their third appearance In Chicago within a period of twelve weeks. Though considered an "off" week, from a box office standpoint the house was near capacity Monday after- noon. The show did not get s real start Monday afternoon until Pannle Brlce made her appearance. Of the three acts that pre- ceded Mlaa Brlce, two were dancing, and coming ao close together had a tendency to slow up the early part of the show. ThlJ waa remedied after the matinee, Billy B. Van and Beaumont Sisters being moved up to No. 8, changing places with Mile. Vadle ft Co. Miss Franklin haa added a new song since last seen here. In which she gives Impressions of the conversations carried on by public dancing couplea. The humor of the lyric lying In the theme. "What You Talk About When You're Dancing with Your Wife." An- other new "bit" Is the "piano lesson" In which Green assists. The dialog is up to the usual Franklln-Oreen standard. The only other hit on the bill was Fannie Brlce, she going over In great style. The Dainty Eng- lish Trio, three girls billed as novelty singer* And dancers, opened the show. The final number put them over nicely. La France and Bruce were handicapped In the second posi- tion, most of their talk being lost, the house filling up about that time. They did well, however, with their boxing Btunt Mile. Maryon Vadle, assisted by six girls, pre- sented a series of dances. The success achieved by this act was not due to their ability as dancers, but to the pleasing stags picture and general appearance. Billy B, Van and the Beaumont Sisters offered their comedy sketch, "Spooks," and although It In- cludes some old time stuff, the comedy efforts of Van got laughs throughout. Adler and Arllne, programmed next to closing, were moved up one, changing places with Irer a Franklin. Their novel offering won third honors. Brown and Rochelle had the closing position, and were fully appreciated by those who remained. A large number of walkouts ran be attributed to a stage wait of about a minute. MAJESTIC (Lyman B. Glover, mgr.; agent, Orpheum).—The Majestic held a special at- traction Monday, showing a two part film that depleted scenes about Chicago at the present day and what Chicago will look like when the new Chicago Plan Commission gets through with Its work. The sttrsctlon was named "A Tale of One City," and It crested a big Impression with the audience. Out- side of the special feature Lulu Glaser and Co., in "First Love," a different sketch from the one shown In New York, was the attrac- tion and waa billed above It. Miss Glaser gsined some fsvorsble comment but did not seem convincing as s headlines The busi- ness on Monday night though big did not equal that of last Mondsy, when Eva Tan- guay waa the drawing attraction. The bill, outside of Miss Glsser, lacked sufficient comedy to make It go over big. The Three Blondys opened the show and created a fav- orable impression duo to the excellent hand- balancing work of the men and the cute comedy efforts of the girl. Milton Pollock snd Co. were number three snd It fell to this sketch company playing "8pesklng to Father" to furnish the comedy for the show. Mayo and Tally were placed number two, not a good poaltlon for a singing set st the big house. The audience waa late in arriving and the two songsters wisely cut down their act to fit the position. The finishing prison gag had the desired effect and the boys finished nicely. Dorothy Toys double voiced herself slong to success esrly In her act and finished well. Adelaide and Hughes In their dancing spe- cialty prevented themselves from being a riot by doing one dance too many. If the dancing pair had stopped without doing the final en- core they would have cauaed considerable noise, but as It was they only finished fairly after hsving things their own way. Connelly and Wenrlch were on next, closing, and the piano playing of Wenrlch received much ap- plause, while Miss Connelly was rather in- differently received. Haveman's Animals closed the show and the leopards and the lions were popular. Victor Moore and Emma Llttlefleld, though billed, did not appear, and the space was left vacant SAN FMBCISCO VARIETY'S SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE PANTAGES' THEATRE BLDG. Phone, Douglass 2ZU ORPHEUM.—Hysms and Mclntyre, well re- ceived The Sharrocks, good turn. Kremo- llna and Darraa Brothers, In closing position, successful. "Bonlta," a trained horse hsd the opening spot appreciated. Cressy and Dayne, provided good entertainment Parlllo and Frablto, street singing turn, stopped the show. In place of Lambert I, who waa to have been held over, Sidney Grant and Charlotte Green- wood appeared In a new act Blanche Ring (holdover), repeated well. A Million Corns Went Last Month Last month, a million corns were ended in this easy, simple way. And every month a more go like them. a/nil c pphe lion To each corn was applied a little Bhie-jay plaster. In every case the corn pain ended there. Then the wax in the plaster— the B & B wax—gently (reed the corn. In 48 hours nearly every corn came out, without any pain or soreness. A (ew stubborn corns required another plaster. That's the story of some seventy million corns ended by this invention. It will be the story of your corns in 48 hours if you treat them in this scientific way. Your friends will testify to that. If you don't do this, in alt probability, those corns will stay for years. 15 and 25 cents—at Druggists Samples Mailed Free Bauer & Black, Chicago sad New York Makers of Physicians' Supplies EMPRESS.—Ed.
