The act calls in au attractive stage - setting, representing the exterior ot' the J. soldiers' "hinie" at Johnsville, Tenn. j Harry Peru, who is one of the most | popular artists of the blaek cork vur I riety, handles the comedy role, while I i pathos and excellent dramatic ability is capably enacted by it cast of four < other players. Harry Pern hands out nil; kinds of laughs as the keeper of a com bination fruit stunld, barber shop, etc., just outside the "home." The dramatic, part of the act deals with the exposure' of graft at such an institution. Each; player in the company is cap-able and i strongly cast, making the novelty j' doubly attractive. Another pleasing turn of the bill is that of Claudius and: Scarlet, the banjo players. The young J man and woman appear in attractive j modern dress and plav some of the j latest songs in lively fashion. Then j the stage darkens, the artists stajt to J play sonie of the old favorite songs of j fifty years age and as they play them, j the words of the songs are thrown on] the picture curtain. When the artists j strike up old favorites like "When You » anil I Were Young Maggie," "Grand father's Clock" and others as well' known, the audience starts to sing them until it seems as 'though, the audience' has 'turned into one big chorus. Thej act is certainly pleasing and its a elev-l er novelty. Claudius and Scarlet pre sent one of the line Keith hits support injj Hart.
