LaPearl combination of “sure hits” filled the Chaterton last night and for three hours kept the audience applauding one of the l>est vaudeville entertainments that has come to town this season. “They Want Me” is a clever skit full of hilarity that serves as a vehicle for the introduction of the catchy specialties among which the LaPearl sisters in their aerial work out over the parquet was possible the most appreciated.
