FROM thrilling feats of illusion to the humorous disappearance of one Lady Amelia, LeRoy, Talma and Bosco, the big trio of wonder -workers, are amazing largo audiences at the Pantages this week. These two men and a girl work with all the deft Quickness and baffling mystery of magicians, magi-cians, and their act Is replete with wizardry. wiz-ardry. Santucci plays a chromatic accordion with all the rare feeling and artistry of the true musician. His array of highly applauded selections slips from the classics to high-power jazz, ending with excerpts from the patriotic school. Will Stanton and his company of funmakers evoke rounds of applause and chuckles in "His Last Drop," a merry musical melange me-lange of laughter and queer situations, while Gertrude Van Dyck and her brother bubble, sing and play their way through fifteen of the merriest minutes on the bill. Francis and Wilson are a personable pair with a line of patter, songs and dancing danc-ing that goes over big, while their acrobatic acro-batic twists and turns cause a lot of genuine surprise. There's an interesting pictorial weekly and a spicy round of music bv Eddie Fitzpatrick and his orchestra or-chestra to top the show in gingery manner. man-ner.

The action centers around Jimrnle Shannon, Shan-non, a personable young chap, whoso uncle is burdened with more than his share of money. Uncle has promiso J.m-vnio J.m-vnio a fnir-sizd bank account if he will ; marry within a certain length of time, and, although the hero's friends lend ample am-ple support in engineering the matrimonial matrimo-nial scheme, there's no one among the i-.-ores of applicants that quite euili Jimmy. Of course, there is a certain girl whom , he ready loves, but she regards his wooing woo-ing with glacial mdii f erence, and foi a while it looks as if uncly's money would jro to some pet chanty. B'ut things are straightened cut in the most surprising maimer imaginable, leaving tho audience in a gale of laughter. Nana Bryant will have a most happy ro!n in this lilting comedy, one that the v. ill doubtless delineate with ho.- usual effective charm and realism, while J.
