3 KIDS AND A QUEEN”— ALHAMBRA THEATRE

The Alhambra is offering a very fine combined picture and vaudeville act to-day. May Rob-j son appears in her grandest rolej in "3 Kids and a Queen,” in which she is supported by a galary of juvenile stars including Prankie Darro and Billy Burrad. By her performance Miss Rabson proves that she has succeeded in filling the vacancy on the screen caused by the sudden and untimely dea of the beloved Marie Dressler.

Cowan and Bailey's grand show, which includes Ted and Evelyn and Estelle Davis, who have proved so popular at the Hong Kong Hotel and the Oriental Theatre, provide an excellent add-¦ led attraction.
