itor feels called upon to review
movie performances, but the Im
perial has had, during the past week
some noteworthy programs. Satur
day night's vaudeville bill was a
change from the Western circuit,
which furnished the first two pro
grams of the season. It was the first
nnnearance of acts from the Pan-

was noticeable from the moment the
curtain rolled up on the first one.
Not an act failed to "get by" with
the crowd, and two or three of them
made decided bits. The feature of
the vaudeville bill was Sam and
Goldle Harris in a comedy satire.

as they would respond. Sunday and

by the way, is a ridiculous title for

plays, and when that glad day
comes, the art will have made a
