BELLE STORY TOPS
GOOD BILL AT KETTH'S
Jack Wilson and Company, With
Many Novelties, Make En-
tertaining Show

Belle Story sang herself quickly into
favor at Keiths last night She did II
without any fuss or fancy fixngs
1t is considered quite au fait for singers
to carry an exclusive pianist with soulful
eyes and long hair, but Miss Story was
quite content TO let the consequences de-
pend upon Charlie schraeder and his or
chestra. The result was highly gratifying
All the fnesse, the shading and expression
Of the songs offered were brought out
artistically. Miss story won numerous
encores, all thoroughly deserving, and was
easily the hit Of the bill
Jumping from the sublime to the rdicu-
lous Jack Wilson was much i'm evidence
In addition to reviewing some OF the acts
which had preceded him he also did one
of his own. He was assisted by Frank
Hurst and Lillian Boardman, who sang
we'll between Mr.. Wilson's fun
He dispensed considerable wit and car.
ried on" II is to be regretted that his bur
lesque grand opera finish required him to
appear in the ballet girl effect This idea
was extremely healthy when vaudeville was
young. But the audience laughed especial
ly the women, and laughter covers a null
titude OF whims.
The trio took four warranted bows about
1Oi45, which. after all, is going some.
one of the most enjoyable acts on the
entire bill was that of Bayonne Whpple
and Walter Huston. In "Spooks." 1t deals
with the troubles of a widow who will he
dlsinherited unless she has her late hus-
bands picture painted on the front door
painter who is decorating the house helps
her to win the money. There is n great
deal of quiet, easy-going legitimate COM
edy in this act, which we believe made its
local debut in the two-a-day class.
And 1t deserves to stay there If we are
to consider the views of the audience In the
matter. The Sixteen Navassar Girls put
finishing touch to the show with n num-
ber OF rollicking martial airs Their or
chestral numbers were interspersed with
vocal solos and quartet selections The
act which is under the direction of Miss
Augusta Dial, delivered solid punch with
the Anvil Chorus, in which the fair singers
appeared as blacksmths with electrical
effects.
Nelson waring entertained at the piano
and sang He received emphatic approval
Norman Field and Mary Il. Daniel appeared
In What Happened to Ruth" They were
assisted by a professional disturber in n
box who brought many laughs.
Ford and Trina offered a decidedly arts-
tic singing and dancing act and sam Bar
