Show Beautiful Girls Are in Evidence at Pantages New Bill Full of Brilliant Numbers Opens to Large Audiences. TJRIMFITL of sparkling songs and clever dancing, the love travesty, "Wanted "Want-ed A Wife." presented by George ChoOG, and played by Frank Harrington and Charlotte Taylor, with a dozen pretty girls, was the headline feature of the new Pantages programme which opened yesterday yes-terday afternoon. Willie Lander, a young millionan-e, has been Informed that he will be arrested unless he marries by 12 o'clock. Under this threat he hurries to the lobby of a fashionable apartment house, where he proposes to a. dozen girls. From these love Incidents come the punch, humor and life of the travesty. "Wanted A Wife," handled by a group of vaudeville artists, is one of the cleverest clev-erest sketches shown at Pantages for some time. The novelty comedy, "Women," presented pre-sented under the direction of Charles Smith, Is a page taken from real life. The cast, consisting of Betty Keith, Cecil Kohlhass and Pauline Eckhart, with artistic zeal stages a real version of women's love affairs. The comedy Is wetl worked out, full Of interesting incidents, and illuminates realistically the human side of women. Jt is a woman's love story of women's love. "The Royal Juggling Gascoignes" begin be-gin the art of juggling where most jugglers jug-glers leave off. With a deftness and adroitness that almost surpasses belief, the master of feats of legerdemain puts across one of the finest exhibitions of hand manipulation on vaudeville circuits. Mademoiselle Rozika, assisted by the boy violinist, Louis Kaufman, in three character dances especially arranged for her performance, artistically tripped from one characterization to the other. In "The Swan" Mademoiselle Rozika did her best. Master Kaufman, only a boy in his teens, played several difficult pieces on the violin, rendering them with the touch of an artist. "The Lucy Lucier Three." the harmonious harmo-nious funsters, sang a group of old songs, redolent of southern nights and old-fashioned people. The renditions were exceptionally excep-tionally well received and the funsters were courteous and generous in their encores. en-cores. The fifth episode of "The Fatal Ring," with Pearl White, pictured the incidents of another chapter in the gripping story of love, romance and mystery. The entire programme was one of exceptional ex-ceptional merit. Every act featured in making the entertainment one of the best which has been on the circuit in this city for some time.

I - "Bugler and tho Red Cross Nurse" Is Military Feature of New Bill Opening Open-ing at Liberty Today. MILITARISM has Invaded the vaudeville vaude-ville houses to stay. There is another an-other unique offering coming to the Liberty Lib-erty theater this week in "The Bugler and tho Red Cross Nurse," presented by Sherwood and company. The offering is an unusual musical treat, in which Sherwood Sher-wood presents some difficult triple-tongued triple-tongued playing on two cornets as one of the features. The skit is also replete with comedy and clever songs. Chadwick and Taylor, billed as "America's "Amer-ica's Youngest Colored Entertainers," are classed as one of the best comedy, singing sing-ing and dancing teams in vaudeville. The McFarlands present a clever sing-intr sing-intr and talking act, introducing many brilliant song successes and clever com-edv com-edv chatter. The Waldow- Brothers and Godfrey, three American athletes, are the big surprises sur-prises in vaudeville when it comes to gymnastics, and, as it is said "every good vaudeville show has a little acrobatics in It," this show should be very well balanced. Another pleasing feature on the bill will be DeCosta and Madeline, clever dancers and xylophone artists. They are said by advance representation to be a very classy duo. The motion pictures will be of the comedy variety. |
