The lively and satisfying program
at Keith's this week shines at the
top with the imperishable charm OF
Lillian Russell, who gives number
of songs and little personal talk
marked by the good sense and humor
of her manner. She retains her pleas
ing voice as we'll as her beauty, and
the old favorites among her selec-
lions, such as when Chloe Sings" and
My Evening Song" were received
with delight last night by those whose
recollections OF the halcyon days of
Weber and Fields were stirred. In
her remarks Miss Russell dwells play
fully on the topic OF the passing
years. but says she has no intention
of getting on" and may still be en-
tertsining fifty years hence. This de-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AngIin In "Bev-
erty's Balance"

The return of Margaret Anglin to
Washington at the National Theater last
evening in her annual visit evinced a
new esteem in which she is held in this
metropolis. The applause at her entrance
in the first act and at each fall Of the
curtain on Paul Kester's comedy. "Bev-
erly's Balance" was marked with the
same cordiality and goodwill that have
greeted her every year.
She chose last night to display once
more her charm as a comedienne In a
play which. although in no sense epoch
making. affords pleasant enough enter
tainment. "Beverly's Balance" Is a mild
satire on prevailing social conditions
The story. in brief, Is that of a young
Virginia church choir singer who comes
to New York to retrieve the broken for.
tunes Of family by her voice. Her voice
fails her and she finds her young cousin
in the city. also penniless.
In desperation she consents to act as

Loew's Coium bia-"The Blacklist

Blanche Sweet delighted the audi
ences at Loew's Columbia yesterday by
her work I'm THE Blacklist" a Para
mount picture produced by the Lasky
Company. The story reveals the I'M
fair systems which big mining corpora
tions are alleged to exercise over their
employees. The companies keep a list
of discharged employees. called the
blacklist" which they communicate to
other companies. making II impossible
for a discharged miner to secure en-
ployment with any mining company.
Blanche Sweet. as Vera. a school
teacher I'm the mining town, uses every
effort to have the company abandon this
system and give the miners fair play.
After the strike, in which the miners are
forced to live in tents on the hills. and
after very realistic fight in which ma
chine guns are used and many OF the
miners killed, the president of the big
corporation renounces the blacklist and
asks Vera to teach him to love her peo-
pie, so he can really help them. The
photography of the picture Is wonderful,
many beautiful scenic effects being con-
tanned. In order to make the scenes
authentic, the producing company leased
mining town. Burton Holmes travel
pictures and the Bray Gilbert cartoons
complete one of the best programs at the
Columbia for some time.
