The title itself suggests funny situa-
tons, clever dialogue and a host of
possibilities for side-splitting comedy.
Right here it might be said that for
an example of slang talk Watson and
Conan, to say moth ng of Irving Hay,
excel anything that has ever been
tr ed In burlesque in this city. These
three comedians mangle the English
language so that one pays close at

PROGRAM
APROTEAN 'P|PP|N'

If you're afraid to laugh, stay away
from Proctor's this week. Many a
person who attended the Park Place
Theatre last night will have trouble
trying to look natural for some time
to come. The comedy comes on with
u rush. and then the merry little
lines about the mouth and the blush
ing dimples in the cheeks make their
and soon the lines grow
longer and the dimples deeper until
finally everyone just sits back and
doubt the funniest program presented
at Proctor's this season.
Cyril Chadwick and company were
very clever In a ripping English sketch
entitled Purchasing Firearm"--
no, that wasn't 1t, either; let us hesi-
tate hawlf minute--ah therei-
Buying a Gun" OF cawse, It's just
beastly that Reggy did not really buy
the gun, but, nevertheless, II took the
chap talk This Is the first time the
turn has been produced in America
Jack Wilson, assisted by Ada Lane
and Jack Boyle, simply lifted the
shingles from the roof. A corps of
carpenters may be hired by Manager
Stewart to put extra fastenings on
the seats If Wilson continues the
damage he started last night. For
nearly half hour he drew forth the
laughter with mis- impromptu revue
of what had gone before on the bill.
And for nearly ten minutes after the
audience applauded. 1t was one of
the greatest receptions ever given an
actor in this city.
Wilson grabbed the audience right
off the laughter griddle when Mae
Melville and Robert Higgins put 1t
down. Melville and Higgins were a
very close second to Wilson. Another
act that met with storm of APP
prevail was that of the Essex Quar-
tet, two Newark boys and two New
ark girls. They deserved every bit
of the applause they got.
Sam Shaw and Thad Packard pre-
sented an entertaining little sketch,
Back to Missouri" The street faker
by Mr.. Shaw is from real life.
Sam Barton, q cycling comedian, is
certainly the funniest of his species
that have yet appeared on the local
vaudeville stage. He was on the pro-
gram in the usual place, first act on,
but he was so good that the manage
ment slipped him down into the heart
of the bill. Elizabeth Otto appears
In a pleasing number called Musical
Max Laube, with q
bird-like MARBLE, thrills with his
bird songs. Clara Ballerini, a Euro
pean novelty artist, does some diff
cult feats in balancing. Archie Onri,
q very clever juggler. opens the show.

ROSEP|TONOF HIT
AT WASHINGTON

William Fox's Washington Theatre,
lin Washington street, offers an I'M
usual attraction this week in the
person of Rose Pitonof. the cham
pion long-distance swimmer of the
world. Miss Pitonof, who is very
young, gives some excellent demon
STATIONS of high and fancy diving
She also shows the. various strokes
used in swimming and goes through
several very difficult water feats.
She performs in a large tank, hold
ing six feet OF water. All her move
ments are clearly reproduced to the
audience by means of q large mirror
placed at the back of the tank and
tilted in such a manner as TO reflect
the swimmers actions to oil parts of
the auditorium.
Miss Pitonof will hold the boards
at the Washington all this week as
the headliner of an exceptionally fine
vaudeville program. Tonight a swim
ming and diving contest for men will
be held at the theatre in addition to
the regular performance. Miss Pit

large silver cup will be presented to
the winner. Many Y. NJ. C. A. and

II you do not know what Believe
Me xantippe" means now, you will
not know any more after you have
sat in the Shubert Theatre for two
hours and a half and witnessed the
William A. Brady, Ltd, production
of that oddly named play on view
there this week.
But you will have had two and u
half hours of good solid enjoyment,
with just about as many laughs as
can be crowded into that space Of

Hunter did. The plot, dialogue and

Barrymore personality better. II
seems shame that a little criticism
of Mr.. Barrymore's work seems
called for, but he has a bad habit
of slurring his final syllables that
at times makes it hard to under

MADAM SHERRY" A HIT,
BOTH IN PLAY AND SONG

Fred F'rear as Theophilus Sherry,
eccentric millionaire, gave one of the
best bits of character work which
Newark has been privileged to see
this season. He convulsed the house
with laughter. as much by his facial
contortions as with the lines of his
comedy part.
Clifford Stork also has voice. He
was the Prince Charming, who taught
Yvonne how to kiss. and he did this,
as he does most things. well. His
dance with Miss Brownell was grace
full and his songs with her and other
members of the company won the ap-
prevail of his audience.
AS Catherine, Edwards housekeep-
er. Charlotte Wade Daniel was clever.
She far outshone Royal Tracy, whose
part as her French husband was a
little beyond him. Joseph Sweeney,
as Leonard Gomez, and Giiberta Faust,
as Pepita, his sweetheart. played we'll
and his songs were good. The young
woman who sang You Made Me Love
You" deserves to have her name on
the program.
