We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Tiedale, mgr.; Or- pheum ).—A tragedy at the first Monday show. Orace Mafcia liowie eopranolng, delivered the beet cello music available in these parts, while Elsa Ryan amused in her one-act comedy, en- titled "Peg for Short." The sketch was writ- ten by Dion. Tltheradge. It le a clever little thing, and eo Is Elsa. She le ably supported by Rodney Ranous, who doesn't overplay an explorer-adventurer-author, one of the hard- est roles than can be handed to a male actor. Following the Bketch Miss Ryan made a little curtain speech which was as good as the sketch. And then ebe offered to donate 85 to Bome charity in payment for having to listen to her speak. She called for volun- teers to get the five, and It was duly turned over to the Stage Women's War Relief. It’s a good stunt, this paying the audience to listen to speeches, and should be taken up by authors and after-dinner speakers. Bert Melroee, next, piled up four tables, one on another, then put a chair on top of all the tables, eat on the chair, teetered, and finally fell off. The audience howled. Elizabeth Murray was handed a great bou- quet of flowers after her true and time-tried CORRESPONDENCE Unleaa otherwise noted!, the following reports are for the carrent wedL Marshall Montgomery lost his trunk and was forced to eliminate hie ventrlloqulal offering, eagerly awaited by the audience. Montgomery came out In street clothes and contented him- self (but not the house) by offering a few gaga and hie 'Whistling specialty. He was given applause for what he might have done If his trunk had not been lost. The show opened with Gaits Brothers, who advertise - thomsslveE-as bevlng ■ “entertalaed' ovfls= a 4iun.r. dred thousand wounded soldiers In England"; they entertained a bouse full of healthy civ- ilians with their unusually good stepping. Their big number la a fast and mighty synco- pated clog. Lawrence Grant and Co., In the Greenwich Village Theatre sketch? "Efflclenoy,” thrilled the audience with the picture of the mechanical soldier created by the mloplo vision of German science. They cheered feel- ingly when the creature of the, court eclentist Blew the head Hohenzollem with his steel hands. A couple of Eleas followed. Elsa Rueg- ger, with. Edmund Lichtenstein oondpotlng and offering, “Says I to Meself, Say I, Says I,” and her bit of the chorus girls bewailing the loss of their Johns on account of the war registered specially well. La Bernicla, a youthful ballerina, toe-danced for the closing, assisted by a couple of good-looking young white women and an Indian lady who played the harp. The act Is well set and merits a more 'advantageous position. Sming, ,,,,.,,,RALAC.E..(.Qrphcun>,;,.J^ A singing and dancing bill that whizzed along with almost no flat spots. The audience worked hard, and show-stoppers were born on the spot with every second finale. i ll-i i-.i li The Taylor Trio opened with extraordinarily novel and neat work on the wire, an act of .skill and fleet dexterity. Quinn and Caverly, a duo slightly miscast for first class vaude- ville, followed.
