of the stage show as they will literal
ly "get music out of" every known
type of harmonica from a fifteen-cent
store brand to the thousand dollar In
strument, thus giving the act the
most novel and unique angle of any
show on the road at the present time.

will have "Merrily We Live" as the
feature on the same program. Con

The action of "Merrily We Live" re
volves around the antics of the Kll

carefree a group as were ever assemb
led under one roof. Each la a rugged
Individualist, but together they pre
sent a united front that Is bewilder
ing to their sedate and conservative
suburban neighbors. And when the
rich young daughter of the Kllbourn

The fact that both "Merrily We
Live" and the O'Brien troup In per
son will remain at the New Craterian
for three days, make the program the
btgsest thing In combined shows the
Craterian has had for many a year
and goes to prove that the bill Is of
exceptional value and merit.
