good old Irish songs In a pretty skit
entitled 'On the Banks of Killarney."
The laughs will come from the efforts
of Frank Mayne's players, a company
of three, who will put on a comedy
sketch entitled "Pretzels." The thiril
act on the bill is a silent one, but
nevertheless pleasing. It is an ex

attendance. All next week the Colo
nial will present that delightfully
pleasing posing act, "La Grociossa."
