Various Acts of Variety Entertainers Found Here

mT IS interesting to note the different methods used by vaudeville actors to gain attention. There is a chance to study it on the week-end bill at the Palace. Newkirk and Moyer Sisters, who ©pen the show, attempt to gain interest by several methods. The girls rely upon their dancing to get them over, but tack they form WILLIAM a trio and sing FAR XU M of a travesty nature which stops the show. Every method to entertain which is used by this team, wins easily. "By The Sea” uses girls, a comedian and a male singer. The dialogue and situations are burlesque in nature. The comedian overflows into the audience and even uses an aisle. There is enough to be done on the stage these days without using the aisles. Old stuff.

Clark and O'Xeil start out to sell dance steps as well as new jazz songs. They use a lot of energy as well as gestures to put their" act over. They know every little trick in the game. They even announce the title of some of the best sellers which they sing. Although their method Is apparent from the first, they work up their material until they register applause. The Parisians rely upon an individual method of presenting jazz music bv orchestra as well as by vocal attempts. There are about ten people in the act. All play instruments. One of the men has a voice which would put over any popular song. Here is an act which will please, as it is cut on a popular pattern. They know what to do and how to do it.

I reduced my own weight 50 pounds in leas than 5 weeks, and at the same time marvelously improved my general health and appearance with a. new French diseove. y called SAN-GKI-NA To-day I look, act and teel tar younger than my real age. From the results tn my own case and those oi my Irtends, I am absolutely convinced that any man or woman burdened with rolls ot ugly, injurious, unwholesome tat, can take it oft easily quickly and safely with SAN-GRI-NA Every day science discovers something new. SAN-GRI-NA is one of Ihe latest French discoveries tor the reduction of excess fat. It does away with weakening diets—tirosome exercises—torturing garments and absurd and expensive so-called reducing creams. It is used extensively in Paris, where women ot every age pride themscives on keeping their figures slender and graceful, and where the men detest a heavy waistline or double chin. No master how tat you are, or what you have done in the past to reduce, you must remember that SAN-GRI-NA has never been offered before to the American public— JT IS GUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS—does not contain any dangerous drags, and cannot possibly affect your stomach or your healtn. By simply taking two small tablets before each meal I lost 50 pounds in two months, and I haven’t regained a pound since. I eat all I want and enjoy the best of health. You can do the same. To-day go to any good drug store, ask for a package of SAN-URI-NA Do not accept anything else, as it is the only thing I -ever found to redace after 1 had tried hundreds of different ways and remedies. lAX-GSJ*NA Is now sold at any of Haag's.

BEGIN HERE TODAY The “Nervous Wreck.” an eccentric young- easterner, is driving Sally Morgan from her fathers ranch to the station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the Wreck takes five gallons from a passing car. Later Charlie McSween. foreman of a ranch along the route, hides the Wreck s car. takes off a wheel, and forces Sally to act as ranch cook. Then they discover that Mr. Underwood, the owner of the ranch, was in the car which they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells. Sally's fiance, is unwittingly searching the country side for the "bandit*' who held up Underwood. After several failures. Sally and the Wreck finally succeed in making an escape in their own car. Now they come to a rutty trail which turns to the left. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY rp7'IHALL WE TRY IT,” she yawned. ■s “Get in.” He turned the flivver at a sharp angle and they left the main road. The new route began climbing a rise immediately, then dipped into a gulch. The Wreck found himself forced to drive with care, for there were sharp turns every few yaris. “There are lots of these old roads in this part of the country,” commented Sally. “Most of them lead to mines that never panned out.” After some ten minutes of slow, but thrilling travel, she suggested a halt. “This ought to be far enough,” she said. “There are two bridges between us and the main road.” The Wreck stopped the car. The abrupt silencing of the motor left them in stillness that was fairly startling. The place was dark, too. for there was a heavy growth of trees all about them, and the spreading light in the Eastern sky did not reach them. As they sat for a minute trying to get the feel of their environment, Sally’s hand crept over and sought the Wreck's arm. She was not nervous, exactly, but the touch of him reassured her. Then her fingers clutched him with sudden fierceness, and she could feel his muscles tense under her grip. “Did you hear that?” she whispered. He had heard. It was the neigh of a horse. She sprang to her feet, steadying herself against his shoulder, and her eyes began searching in the gloom.

An Instant later she bent her head. "There’s a little fire off through the trees—to the right," she said, in a low voice. "We have run into somebody’s camp." “Let’s go,” said the Wreck. He was climbing out to crank the motor, when she clutched him again. “Wait!” I can hear somebody coming. You’ll never be able to turn around in this place.”

“WHERE IS THE SHERIFF?” DEMANDED SALLY. He, too, could hear footsteps off in the brush. Reaching forward to the dash, he switched off the lights. “Turn them on!” commanded Sally. “We’re caught anyhow, arid I’m not going to be pounced on in the dark.” He turned the lights on again, and they waited. The footsteps were cautious, but they were still approaching. “Put the gun away,” she whispered, as she saw him fumbling with it. "It’s not loaded and you’ll only get us Into trouble. You can’t run that kind of a bjuff on Bob Wells, anyhow." “Who?”

"Who else? Why, It’s almost certain. Oh, of all the luck! We’ve run plumb into him! You let me do the talking, Henry Williams." The footsteps were nearer. CHAPTER XIX Captured. Just as Sally’s fingers were digging into his arm until he was ready .to growl a protest, a voice came from the bushes beside the car: “You better get ’em right up in the air—quick.” Sally raised her hands promptly, and the Wreck followed suit, after she commanded him. Into the black glare of the headlights stepped a man who carried a rifle that looked ready for work. “One of ’era’s a woman,’’ he called, evidently addressing somebody behind him. There was no answer from the rear. It seemed that the matter of conversation had ben left wholly in his hands. “We’ll take the pedigree," said the man with the rifle. Any relation to the sheriff?” “Plenty of relation,” said Sally, promptly. “We want to see him.” There was a chuckle by way of answer. “Sure you're lookin’ for the sheriff?” he inquired. “I kind of figure he's asleep and don’t want to be disturbed.” “You lead me to Bob Wells,” said Sally. “I’m going to step right out of this car, and if you start anything with that gun you’ll wish you'd never been born.” The Wreck followed her, and they stood beside the flivver, with a rifle muzzle not more than a yard distant from them. “I’ll talk to Bob Wells and nobody else,” declared Sally, firmly. “Are you speakin’ serious?” “I certainly am. And I’d advise you not to argue about it.” He muttered something that she could not hear, yet it conveyed the idea that his mind was in doubt. The Wreck remained passive during the colloquy. He did not need Sally’s caution. Whatever might be required of him he felt that the time was not yet. Besides he was sure that Sally had the right idea. There was no need for dealing with subordinates when Bob Wells was on the ground. He was quite willing to face the sheriff. “Lead me to the sheriff,” said Sally. There was a suppressed laugh from the figure that held the rifle. “I’ll lead you,” he said. “Come to think of it, I figure you’d better lead yourselves. You just head for that campfire and I’ll keep walking behind you. And don’t forget I’m carrying a gun. Not that it makes

any difference to me, but it might make a heap of difference to you.” Sally set off in the lead, stumbling through the brush In the direction of the camp. She was angry enough to shout what she wanted to say to Bob Wells, but she would not spoil the dramatic effect of a face-to-face meeting. The Wreck followed in her wake, grim, yet somewhat out of countenance. It was a very small, disorderly and informal sort of camp, Sally discovered as soon as she put foot wdthin the glow of dying embers. There was no tent; there was no sign of an establishment that contained even ordinary comforts. But there were two men with rifles In their hands, sitting up in their blankets and studying the strangers with hard , eyes. “Well, who you got there, Lefty?” inquired one of the men on the ground. “Parties lookin’ for the sheriff,” observed Lefty, with a somewhat egaggeiWed wink. “Just two of 'em?” ' “Just them.” The asker of questions arose to his feet for a better survey of the visitors. He was a large man and his most conspicuous feature was a broken nose. Sally and the Wreck came to learr iV at his companions called him I\. sey. “Where is the sheriff?” demanded Sally, but this time she did not say it with any confidence. A sudden misgiving had assailed her. “We ain’t figurin’ to meet up with the sheriff today,” remarked Nosey. “This is not his camp, then?” “No; you might say it Isn’t.” Sally glanced at the Wreck. “Well, Henry, I suppose we'd better be going,” she said. He nodded and was turning to lead the way, when he found the muzzle of Lefty’s rifle sticking into his ribs. “You two better set down awhile,” said Nosey, who seemed to be a person of authority. “Lefty, you just keep your eye on the lady and gent Denver, I wanta talk to you.” The third man climbed out of his blankets and followed Nosey. They went beyond earshot. The guard motioned Sally and the Wreck to seats on the ground and placed himself opposite them at a little distance, his back against a tree. The rifle lay ready in his hand. “I’m afraid we’ve blundered,” whispered Sally. “What do you make of this bunch?” asked the Wreck. “Pretty tough, I’m afraid.” “Might have been worse.” “How?” “Might have been the sheriff.”

“That's so,” nbdded Sally. “But I was all ready for him. Now I don't know just what we’re up against.” Daylight was coming rapidly In the untidy camp, and the more Sally saw of the place the less she liked it. There was only one inference, of course; they had stumbled Into some kind of a gang, very likely the same gang for which Bob Wells was searching. Fine luck! Nosey and Denver rejoined the group. “What's the idea?” demanded the Wreck. “Prisoners?” “Maybe,” said Nosey, who looked thoughtful. “Well, if It’s robbery, you don’t stand to win very much.” “What's’ the game, cornin’ In here askin' for the sheriff?” asked Nosey. “You friends of his?” “We know him,” said Sally, cautiously. “That’s plain enough. You were callin’ him by name awhile back. You workin’ for him?” Sally and the Wreck said “No” together. “I ain’t so sure,’” mused Nosey. "He might think it was a smart trick, gettin’ a woman to help play the game. I reckon you know the sheriff’s out around here somewheres with a posse?” “We heard so,” admitted Sally. “Do you know who he’s lookin’ for?” “I suppose ha’s looking for you, Isn’t he?” “Well, you might say so.”

"You won't And us the least bit of use to you,” said Sally. "You might as well turn us loose.

No; I figure we ain't goin’ to turn you loose right yet.” (Continued In Our Next Issue) Today's Best Radio Features (Copyright, 19t j, hy Unilei WDAF, Kansas City (411 M), 8 P.
