It Is an M. M. Thiess show, though his name is not mentioned on the program. The first part is called "A Stolen Review,". Also featuring Sam Liebert, David Warfield, Alexander Carr, Sam Hearn, Frank Bright, Frank Campbell. Al Thorson, the "Cbauncy Olcott"; Sam Fendell, "Caruso," and Eddie Barto, "George M. Cohan." Kathryn Pearl appeared twice in the first part, but only prominently In the "OibBon Girl" number, which she handles acceptably. Janette Woods, as "Blanche Bates"; Margie Conboy, as "Maude Adams"; Elizabeth Adams as "Gertrude Hoffman," and Beatrice Fern, as "Fay Templeton" were also listed among the women principals, adding more or less to the action of the piece. Sadie La Mar gains a little prominence for some toe dancing of only fair merit.
A good, wholesome, clean, lively show la given by the "Strolling Players." Whoever had the making over of the show accomplished something in putting together an entertainment that should please any kind of an audience. The "Strolling Players" is the best Empire Circuit show seen here In some time and it is not far from being worth classing among the very best seen here this season on either Wheel.
