roster are vaudeville features that cai1
be seen only in the large city theatres.
Music, song, dance and sensational
novelty feautures are numerous and the
Whettens in their novelty singing and
acrobatic stunt pleased the entire audi
enco. The Mysterious Kellys, Hindo
Illusionists and Fakirs, gained rounds of
applause and laughter, at the some
mystifying the entire audience by their
ability to be in two places at the same
time. Their Hindo trunk and bag act
is something that will keep the Okolona
people talking for some time to come.
This act was following by the three
Cannons in songs, dances and funny
dialogues that were greatly applauded.
The songs were new and up-to-date,
and the dances were the kind that are
talked of, but seldom seen. A word
in regard to the harmony of the three
voices will not be out of place, as it
was remarked by every one present.
It was real harmony. Little Mary
Cannon is a young lady whose voice
has every prospect of being heard in
grand opera. Its strength and tone
are unsurpassed and there is a glorious
future is in store for her. The Cannon
& Whetten Co. leave many admirers
here and we trust they will give us a
return engagement soon.
