There seem* to be no department of a modern newspaper lacking in this first venture.

RACE WEEK SPECIAL SHOW
Charles Mack & Co.
Mack is a native of “the ould sod.” His characters are without burlesque or buffoonery. In his comedy playlet, “A
F riendly Call,” there’s real Irish wit and humor, together with some genuine lilting melodies from the Emtrald Isle. After the races you are invited to piuck shamrocks from
Mack’s door yard.
Marshall Montgomery
The statement that “Marsh” is the world’s greatest ventriloquist is more than words. He makes .good on the
billing, and you’ll agree with all we say about his marvelous work. Ddring the races Montgomery promises to pose in Tommy Milton’s “Duesenberg,” which is exhibited in
Keith’s lobby.
Dixon, Dowers & Dixon
This t*io of funsters have more laughs in their act than you pay for. Their comedy of “Three
Country Bumpkins” carries a laugh every time they move, and they are moving all the time. These boys set the speed pace at Keith’s for Race Week.
Coral Melnotte & Edna Leedom without the ladies. With some catchy music, nimbie feet and fluffy stuff for dresses, these girls dance like DePalma drives, and that’s goin* some!
