The neta dressing of James MacDonald ..impresses one right from the start and in addition the Scotchman seems to know Just when the audience has liad enough of his songs and sayings. Tho act made a hit with tho afternoon audience. When the Yoscarrys, acrobats, appear one is at first Inclined to lean back and read a programme or newspaper. Hut this impression Is but momentary The trio combine a lot of excellent comedy with the skillful execution of numerous feats requiring unusual strength and agility. agil-ity. Whyte, Pelzer and Why to arc billed as "fifteen minutes of musical nonsense." They are every bit of that and a little bit more. From the standpoint of applause ap-plause received the act would headline the bill twice over, and that would be no discredit to any of the other acts cither. The six diving nymphs are the headline attraction of the programme. A large tank of water of the usual style Is provided pro-vided and the women go through the usual routlno of dives Into the water The performance, however, of the sextette is better than the average divlnjy act. The exhibition Is marked by skillful work on the part of each of the younc women. It Is needless to say that shapeliness as well as facial beauty has evidently played its part in the selection of the performers.

It Is one of the best that the vaudeville circuit cir-cuit has given Salt Lake this season. Because every act is good and no one can be said to be the best, they will be reviewed In the order in which they appear. ap-pear. The aerial Lafayeltes arc trapeze artists of high order and do many new "stunts" In midair that arc startling because performed per-formed so rapidly and easily. There la no pausing for applause and no hushing of the orchestra for effect. The two acrobats acro-bats have somo good acts to perform and they hand them out as fast as possible and then let the curtain drop. Rona Arnold, a pretty and shapely singer sing-er and comedian, pleased with several now songs and somo character changes, ono of which was sudden enough to attract at-tract more than the usual amount of attention. at-tention. ITer songs were different from tho average, in that the words meant somothlng and, wero Intelligible. The Alpha sextette, composed of four girls and two mon, is one of tho best aggregations ag-gregations of vaudeville singers that has ever been heard on a local stage. While tho young women are not exactly beauties, beau-ties, their voices are, and those of tho entire six blend perfectly, no matter whether It be In ragtlmo or grand opera. op-era. Their rendition of "The Rosary" was so exquisite that tho audience paused a full minute after the song had ended before breaking Into thunderous applause. Lu Franco and McNab are negro comedians come-dians of a high order. They not only have a sketch that Is funny, but they arc masters of the broad negro dialect and they tickled the audience from start to finish. Tom Kelly, as his name would Indicate, Indi-cate, is an Irishman. He looks a good bit Ilka a son of Erin, and when he tells one of his Inlmltablo Irish stories and sings ono Irish song, there is no doubt of his nationality. He received numerous encores. The "Original Eight Berlin Madcaps" compose a chorus of pretty girl dancers. If It became necessary to pick a headline act, this ono would share honors wilh tho sextette. The girls are pretty and well built and demonstrate what good tralninswlll do. The audience applauded them enthusiastically, and it was well deserved. de-served.
