Gus. Edwards' "Rube Kids," the latest vaude-
ville sketch from the prolific pen of this versa-
tile artist, will have its premiere in Elizabeth,
N. J., next week. The piece de resistance is a
seesaw scene, with milk cans as the pivots, and
the "kids" singing the happy song, "See-Saw."
Gus. Edwards' "Statuettes" duet is also another
new act—a pretty conceit musically and thea-
trically—will be brought out in Milwaukee, Wis.
