Norwich bulletin., 1916-11-23

Manager Craig seems to be all smiles today, and if you ask him tSe reason he will tell you that he is thinking about the show that is book ed for, the last half of the week at the Davis and from all accounts 1t is go- ing to be the banner bill of the sea- son, every act is @ Keith headliner and there is no choice in any one of the three as to which is the best. John and Mae Burke are feature number one and they need no recommendation to the vaudeville public. Both are recognised Keith stars and this is their first appearance in the smaller cities. A Ragtime Soldier is the latest vehicle that they will present here, and 1t is a sure fire riot of laughter. Another feature is Sandy Mcintosh and His Musical Maids. a Scotch act, without an equal Here is what the reviewer in the Lowell Courier-C1ti- zen had to say of the headline act, billed as Mcintosh and Maids, when it was the attraction at the B. F. Keith i theatre in that city:
 Clan Mcintosh will now have a hearing. One braw laddie and three bonnie lassies constitute the section of the clan on parade and if plaidies ever looked prettier than they did yes terday then we haven't seen them. Me- 1ntosh-he's the leader-is as straight as ramrod. and when he gets at the pipes he can skurl out as lively 0 reel as one will hear in iong time. One wee lassie-the very picture of low land health--tripped sword dance the while Mcintosh played the pipes, and she wound up in breathless tenn DO, always skipping the blades. The three lassies drummed in a manner that summoned up the days of wood up," and they tucked in fancy strokes that would have put the ordinary snare drummer to shame. But the clan Is versatile above all else. One of the girls, in a clear, ripping soprano sang something about life and love, and the aforementioned redheaded little vixen sang Annie Laurie in a way that tore ones heart. The en- sembles were downright pretty, and capably presented, particularly the in strumental rendering of A Perfect Day. The close of the act is loud with brass a dozen of the current mero- dies being strung along. Yesterday the audience insisted that the four kilted performers appear again, and they did come back and aroused a lot of enthusiasm
 The third act Is Elliott and Mullen in a comedy skit entitled A Study in Black and Tan, with singing and dancing and comedy.
 The Triangle picture on this bill is William s. Hart in the Return of Draw Egan, a- five part western fea- ture that just suits this favorite to peTIectlOn.
 The Return of Draw Evan is a gripping story of bad man who goes straight a worse one who would like to prevent his reformation, and a girl who makes it possible. Its action takes place in Yellow Dog, a tough town infested with reckless gunmen who make life miserable for the few respectable citizens. From the mo- ment Hart is introduced until the 'fade-out" scene, the play, it is de- ciared, is bristling with swift action and forceful with big situations.
 As Draw Egan. the desperado, who swings over to the path of righteous ness under the influence of a sweet young girl, Hart is said to have con- tributed a characterization that com pares fayorably with his now fa- nous performance of Steve Denton in The Aryan. He is once again at home with two guns on his hip and a chip on his shoulder.
 To complete the show there is a funny two-reel Keystone comedy that will send you home laughing. Matinee at 2.15, oil seats 10 cents. Evening at 6.45 and S.45. 10. 15 and 20 cents.
