Show Cliff Gordon is a scream, proving that the age of the German comedian Is not past, if the man behind the comedy has sense -enough to. do something some-thing original. Really he is the hit of the piece at the vaudeville house this week, for there is a flavor to his stuff so real in spite of his fun that the philosophy strikes in and stays. Alice Norton's act during which she generously generous-ly distributes the gems she makes to an interested inter-ested audience is quite wonderful from a scien tific standpoint, but hardly a headliner at an Or-r.heum Or-r.heum performance. To the embryo chemist it is the vaudeville event of the year, but scarcely inspires the lay- man at the variety show. THE MUSIC FESTIVAL .
