Joe Cook's comedy number took fust place away from the headliners a«id hi. turn seemed new and*amusinpr to a good-sized house. Frttil Scheff was welcomed ba k after a rather prolonged absence and Bang some songs in her acchstomed way. Val- erie Bergere's skit was pretty gen- erally liked. The rest of the bill had good comedy moments, but otherwise must be classed as about so-so. 8HUBERT VAUDEVILLE.—Nat Xazarro, Jr.. did his cello playing, singing and dancing in such a way as to win a very coid audience after he had l>een on a few minutes. It was a difficult situation for the young man. but at the end of his get he had the satisfaction of know- ing he had won them over. Milton Hayes, an Englishman, is decidedly good. His novel bodgc-podge of chatter caught the audience's fancy slowly at first, but finally in *uch a manner as to get the entire house. Xonette returned to a moderately enthusiastic reception, and the other acts struggled along against the frosty audience in nolle fashion. ROCHESTER, N. Y. By L. B. SKEFFINGTON LYCEUM—"Irene."

The Theatrical Is the One Profession That Fundamentally Depends Upon PUBLICITY ALL ARTISTS possess potential power to crash through to the pinnacle, but ambition plus ability needs exposition-advertising. - Professionals who aid themselves by con- sistent publicity are using the natural handi- cap that is theirs by rights. — That means vaudeville, legitimate, bur* lesque and pictures, for all four fields are inter-related. Keep sending messages through VARIETY PUBLICITY PLAN Display advertising, cuts in the reading matter, successive mention of the name is the formulae. It is the most economical, business-like publicity program that has ever been offered the profession. Send to or call for particulars at any Variety Office.
