“Big time" Vaudeville will always be
popular in Nor-walk. Manager A. J.
Collins of the Palace Theatre. reiter-
.:lled the truth of misstatement with
the high class program that he offered
for the season’s Vaudeville openiliz
yesterday at the Palace Theatre. For

} Eddy and Denny, a comedy pair, or-
icupied the second place on the pro.
{gram Eddy, a brother of Walter
“Young" Eddy, the Greenwich pdgillst,
prove tobe another Eddie Cantor, al-
though on a larger scale, and Denny. a
bland but neat comedian. Their jokes,
all bearing the shining lacquer of nov-
elty. proved to be real laugh-magnets.
They scored a hit with their revival of
the battle song of the Spanish-Ameri-
can -war, “Just Break the News to
Mother." The encores that they were
forced to take on this offering cut
deeply into the time of the next act. A
parody on the battle song of the pre-
sent, "Over There." also proved popu-
lar.

trite scenes. there was ample space
for the cleve“ bits of comedy that were

! Shorty Dewitt. four feet from stem

rlzem' in the audience. The program
wound up with an acrobatic ol'frriua'

ly attractive.
