COLONIAL TO RAVE MORE AND BETTER VAUDEVILLE Management Announces Change In Pol icy Under Which There Will Be an Additional Act oa Each Bill All of Which Will Be More Costly The clamor of many local theatre goers lor a more pretentious vaudeville bill ami the shorter film service at the Colonial theatre has resulted in a de cided departure in the kind of enter tainment to be provided for patrons of that playhouse. Wilnior & Vincent who during the last month have been experimenting to determine the type of entertainment most popular at the Co lonial, have decided to put in bigger and more costly vaudeville attractions. These vaudeville acts are to be booked out of the Keith Hooking Oflice and they are to be four in number. Although this is only one more aft than was shown heretofore, it is an nounced these four acts will be far superior to those that have been ex hibited in the past. The management declares that these features will all be worthy of places on high class vaude ville bills and that each program will have its headliner. There will not only be improved vaudeville, but improvement in the plan of presenting these nitrations. The four acts will follow each other without a moving picture shown be tween. The moving picture features will be shown before and after the vaudeville show. The hours of the Colonial's running will be continuous as usual. From 11 o clock until 2."0 the first run of li censed films will be exhibited, and the entertainment will be the picture show on i v. At 2.30 the first vaudeville bill of the day will begin, all four acta being presented, one after the other, aud then the pictures will follow. During the hours of 6 to 7 o'clock, pictures only, will be presented. At 7 o'clock the first vaudeville bill of the evening will be offered and after the pictures for this performance are shown a sec ond complete vaudeville bill will be put on beginning at it o'clock. The vaudeville bills will be changed twice weekly as before, on Monday and Thursdav. The proposed improvement in the vaudeville offerings is indicated by a glance over the bookings made for the first week. For instance, the feature of the first half of the week will be a pleasing n|iniature musical comedy call ed "The Beile Boys and the Beles." The act requires a clever cast of come dians and pretty girls and also an at tractive stage setting. It is described as one of those catchy features with Rood /nil anil new songs. Miller and Tempest, a widely known pair of song, comedy and patter artists, wiil also ap pear. A 1 Kdwards, a black faced come dians. and hear and Fields, in comedy, songs and dances, will complete the roster for the first half of the week. i The vaudeville bill for the last half jof the week will be headed off by the I Three Musical KUisons, offering a j picturesque musical novelty. This at traction has scored manv success's in leading vaudeville theatres. The clever ! novelties supporting it will be present jed .lames Kennedy and Company, Who were favorites at the Orpheu'm two seasons ago and who will present i their new comedv called " lack -wift;" i Mahonev and Tremont, in a singing and dancing skit, called "At the De partment Store," and the Aerial Barbers, sensation aerial gymnasts.
