ANOTHER BIG VAUDEVILLE SHOW There will be another big vaudeville show at the opera house next Satur­ day and Sunday evenings and it is safe to say that every act presented will be as good if not better than the acts seen last Sunday evening. The , bill this Saturday and Sunday will contain some of the best talent on the vaudeville styge. Each and every act is selected w}th care and the management guar-* ftntees this show to be one of the best that has ever visited McHenry. The performance last Sunday evening was voted extra good by everyone, and con­ sidering the hot weather a large crowd Was in attendance. Every act was up to date and well liked. Sidney Jerome, the headline^, after making a big hit with his monologue and songs, had to bring his act to an abrupt end on ac­ count of being almost overcome by the heat. He was billed, heavily as a ma­ gician and mind reader, but gave an excellent performance without this part of his act. Every act was given encores and will be welcome back any time, following are a few of the fea­ tures next Saturday and Sunday: Har­ rington & Florence, singing, talking and daqcing; Lee & Perrin, funniest sketch train in vaudeville; Manuel, the world's greatest coin and card manip­ ulator; LeRoy Thorntoh, singing Base­ ball Rag, Going Back to Carolina, and That's What You Mean'to Me--Roast- ter's latest successes; Dorothy DeV'ine, America's foremost entertainer.
