though George ' Bloomqulst la missed
from 'the role. 'his place Is. filled moat
capably by Mr. Davlos. "Miss Bloaaon

good deal more ease and abandon In
the play than they formerly showed
..The bulk of the -applause, ' however,
went to one. Frank Tlnney,' a corked
comedian corked only as to tha exterior
surface of his face. ' With an Infectious
smile lie imitated the halting speech of
an over-earnest youngster given to com
rouning with himself. He dooe some
playing and some danclngv but the fun'

The Basque Grand Opera quartet does
some' acceptable work with selections
from the operas. The soprano has
pleasing voice of clear quality and good

was good. The three men's 'voloea are

and entertaining. The Zanettes are pseu-

might pass If the Japanese modesty and
quiet were not. such an absent factor In
their act. Their work In juggling la
good, though presenting ' little of the
original, but a brilliant oriental setting
and judicious use of colors makes their
act effective. Fox and Foxle's -circus
presents an Interesting study In trained
cats and dogs which Is rather good.
