Nap- j town’s only Penthouse, for their ; new singing sensation — Forsr j Wally Wilson — magnificent bari- , tone soloist. This gentleman alone Is worth the price of admission.

The girls jumped into jiort early this week, an dalready the tw>ys and girls are making plans to give these darlings of song a royal welcome coming the week-end. If you haven’t heard these girls, then make a date today to enjoy this wonderful feature currently playing tlie popular Defense Club.
