John Sally Rice & Cohen In "OUR HONEYMOON" an act which they played for us several years ago, long enough for it to be revived and appear new now. Rice is one of the best light comedians in the business and makes every line toll and I don't know of any act (of its kind) that I would rather play. As salaries go, they are worth all they get. 22 min. full stage, 3 shows.

Frank Bush. Story teller. This man comes to us with a lot of new material again and makes a big hit. It is a good argument to offer any of these monologuists who try to give us the same stuff year after year, that if Bush can get so much new material others ought to be able to do the same. 18 min. in one, 2 shows.

Rochez Animals. A mighty clever act, entirely out of the ordinary and shows excellent training. it also has some attractive features for the little folks in the way of a supper scene and a little pantomine. 15 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Biograph. John Craig, Lillian Lawrence and Mary Young in San Francisco. Good photographs. And "THE IMPOSSIBLE VOYAGE", probably the best picture of that kind over offered. Full of good comedy and wonderful scenic effects.
