Herbert Clifton had it anything but easy in the late spot, but though he was not able to attract the big measure of returns that usually reward him he made a nice impression. A considerable portion of his routine is new, as are all the costumes. One of the new numbers was a Japanese love song, done in the special hangings, somewhat on the order of these used last season, and calling for a snatch of "Mme. Butterfly" music. Another was announced as an Egyptian love song, and for it Clifton showed his best costume flash, including a butterfly "lift-over." In the costume he looks as much like Surrat as ever, but inquired whether he didn't resemble Theda Bars.
