Two stunts “The Levitation" a mystery in which a man floats in the ais- end ‘The Operation" s comedy stunt‘ by shsdowgraph were novelty natures and added greatly to the program. Those taking part ln these numbers were Louis Ves-

the audience was favored by a

vl'olln solo “The Bluebells of Scot-

The highlight of the evening was undoubtly ths Gay Nineties Revue which featured the second part of the program and when the curtain was drawn on a sally decorated stage with special lighting effects, presented a very pretty scene tn- deed. Among so many excellent numbers it would be difficult to single out individual performan- ces, however it ls safe to say that from a musical standpoint, “The Alabama Lullaby" with solo voice. violin and ensemble was outstand- ing.
