r 40 ■■■■■■HBIlpi VARIKTY EDDIE COLUMBIA and VICTOR INTRODUCING FLORENCE ■ and Vaudeville's Oddity THIS WEEK (Nov. 26) KEITH'S BUSHWICK What J0L0 said about us at the Colonial last week The phonograph act presented by Barto and Clark Is a novelty. It Is billed as "Columbia and Victor with Eddie Barto and Florence Clark." The stage Is set to represent the Interior of a talking machine emporium. Placed about are several huge Victor cabinets. From two Is heard a conversation, which consists of smart crossfire between, the machines bewailing their respective lots, reciting their experiences In the houses to which they are sent After awhile the fronts of the cabinets open and Mr. Barto and Miss Clark emerge, do some clever singing, dancing and more talk, and at the finish return to the cabinets. Cleverly con- ceived, smartly written and artistically produced. direction, PAT CASEY OFFICE rt . I I Two Hands Are Better Than Nona O. K.
