. Vaudeville at the Regent
\ A seasod of vaudeville was lnaugun
r‘ated at the Regent yesterday, start-
ng with the matinee, that is surely
‘ treat for the Norwalks, inasmuch as
‘ there is a bill of star acts gotten to
frgether that has never been attempted
I in Norlvalkbefone a popular prices.
The entire bill is made up of the
White Rats Union of vaudeville por-
ormers, that are the leading artists
playing the 2 a day and it was some
show to put out in the way of a tra-
iellin‘g organization inasmuch as each
and every act was a headline act in

himself was very pleasing and the
:Young sisters who do three changes
are certainly a clever pair, making
this act a decided hit from the rise
of the curtain. The next act which
was a special added ”attraction and
that of Welsh, Lynch & 00., present-
ing their'laugh sketch, “Along the
Erie," is an act that ”is very rarely
seen in vaudeville, inasmuch as it has
a very pleasing plot and the singing
of Mr. Walsh is right up to the minute
and the character taken by Mr. Lynch
of the rural nail carrier, was a degid.
ed hit. so to speak this act surely
would be going just aswell on Satur-
day night as. it would the opening day
with its audience. .. The original Otto
Bros. delivered a very clever act poo
traylng different characters and show-
ing the back of the stage as it really
is which certainly makesa hit. and
the way they produce this clever piece
of work is a pronounced hit with the
people, To close-the show one of
the g‘réatestiacts 'on. the American
stage today is placed in this position,
and that is the actor Demon‘s-d: Lee,

ting of black velvet running all around
the stage when they .are dressed,“ in

Feature pictures that will assuredly
be enjoyed by all Palace Theatre
patrons are scheduled for showing at
the theatre every 'day this week.
There is not a week spot in the bill
and it may behonestly called a first
class program from the first to the
last day. The feature for today is a
special Vitagraph production “Intri-
gue" starring Peggy Hyland and Marc
MacDermott. The combination of
stars for any photo-play would be
enough to guarantee its merit, but
tliere is a decided interest in
“Intrigue" aside from the appearance
of the two celebrities. The play is
well adapated' for a picture and is,
splendidly produced from start to fill-
ish and makes a feature that is far
above thecrdlnary. A new episode of
"The Secret Kingdom“ Starring Chur—
nn Richman and Dorothy 'Kelly will
also be shown today.
