BIG VAUDEVILLE REVIVAL HERE Vaudeville devotees of Perth Am boy were given Ave of the best acts enjoyed here in some time at the .Ma jestic theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. One of the largest iiouses for vaudeville * packed the play house at both performances. The big three minstrels, monarchs of mirth and melody, furnished plenty of comedy and latest songs. Their dancing was of the best and re ceived great applause. Murry's can ine actors, one of the greatest animal acts in vaudeville, Is truly a wonder ful performance. The singing dng, and it really seems to strike the proper pitch at high "c" was a sur prise for the grown-ups and a treat for the young people. Clivette, the man in black, pre sented a novel European act, and King Kollins and the Klifton Sisters, banjoists, made a decided hit with their snappy playing. Too much credit ftinnot be said for Miss Marian Kay, character comedienne and impersonator in up to date musical hits. Her version of Bowery newsboy telling about his dog, and writing to his sweetheart made her a favorite with the large audience. Happy Hooligan was there too— on the screen—and much laughter followed his escapades. GET GOOD LAUGH AT MAJESTIC Maybe you haven't laughed for so \png that your face has become cal loused. If so it's time to "loosen up." Physical and mental exercise often cheats the doctor. Somehow or other, people like to cheat a doc tor.
