Central.

The Central Theater let loose an
avalanche OF fun last night in
the rollicking farce-comedy, The
Hustler" which kept the house in
roars Of laughter from the moment
the fast and furious fun began until
the show wound up with a medley and
chorus by the whole company. The
piece is replete with song and dance
specialties- A Persian scarf ballet
by pupils Of Boutwell, Browne was a
feature. Elmer Booth, the talented
young Central comedian. had the title
role, and filed the bill amazingly well.
while Henry Shumer, in a German
character part, was funny. Edna Els
mere, Virginia AinSwOrth and Myrtle
Vane sang popular songs. and Miss
Vane and Nillar Bacon appeared to
fine advantage in musical and scenic

Fischer's.

Exact classification is defed by ''Kis-
met" as the new piece at Fischer's s
Theater is titled. It is a congIomera-
tion of almost everything in the musi-
cal line. with no particular discrimi-
nation in favor Of anything. Ensem-
bles that would bring no discredit to
any great master Of sonorous sound
are freely interspersed with solos, duos
and trios. sentimental and comic, that
range from chamber concert deIicacy
to cakewaIk delirium. As a procession
of varied harmony the score is Won
derfuI in its way and reflects studious
research by Gustaye Kerker. who is
responsible for it.
Sharing honors with the man who ar
ranged the music is the man who Gre
ated the spectacular side Of the pro-
Jones Such series of artisticany con-
ceived and ingeniOusIy constructed
stage pictures, moving and inanimate
have never before been presented in

their creator had TO contend one can
only marvel how he accomplished il all

Carroll. is not remarkably luminous.
Unnecessarily long speeches contribute
TO the tediousness of badly obscured
story and the best laugh-making lines
are suggestive of a resurrection. But
the Kerker music and the Jones stag
ing bolster the book and make the
piece successful. as success is rnea-
sured by plaudits-
All the principal people, with the sin
gle exception OF Mr.. Kennedy. are kent
much in evidence throughout the two
acts. and the chorus bobs in and ont
with a frequency that would make
many costume changes impossible. In
their Turkish makeup the girls look
pretty enough TO need no change, how
ever. although as much cannot be said
for some Of the people whose names are
on the programme. Miss Russell dis
plays. a little less hosiery than she ex-
hibited in the preceding piece and sings
just as prettily, and Mr.. Peachey
makes the part of a Hibernian swash-
buckler funnier than he evidently in
tends TO make It. Ben Dillon is worthy
of a better role than the one allotted
him. but he gets as much out of what
he has as any comedian could get.
