Their somersault work was probably the best ever seen in this city, doing straight, forward, backward and spotter and double somersaults off the trampoline Doard to the shoulders and floor. Nibbe & Bordeaux, original Italian characters, gave pleasing imitations of the popular emigrant from Europe's southern shore and won much applause. The minstre! ventriloquist, Nat Wharton, made a £00d impression and had thé audience with him from the start. His ventrilo- quil powers arc clear and strong. The motion pictures contained much good gomedy and were steady and interest- ng. WEDDING. Keleher-Havens.
