Having Some Good Shows At Barnes’ Gayety Airdome.

= George W. Harvel, who gave the Monday night performance at the Gayety Airdome, will be on hand jigajji tonight and his show is sure to please the old as well as to de light the children. It is a marionette performance, consisting of miniature performers on a miniature stage. .The performers are operated by Mr. Harvel, and their antics are quite amusing, producing a great deal of laughter and hand clapping. The theatre boxes are filled with little figures, who use fans, opera glasses and stretch their necks to see the performance. The last act consists of a cowboy clown on a bucking pony, a performance that would do credit to the most daring cowboy that ever roamed the plains. Mr. Harvel is a marvel in this business and the figures were carved and the scenery painted by himself! Last Friday and Saturday night an especially able team was at the Gayety. It was Lavine and Lavine, In an acrobatic act that recalled the old days of “silence and fun.” Mt. Lavine Is a good comedian and the act is pushed through with much vigor and one laugh fallows another. After Mrs. Lavine has been carried about the stage on his head and has stood like a statue for some moments, both suddenly form a hoop and roll over and under a table with equal ease and speed. It was orie of- the best teams that has been here this summer.
