ADELE HASSAN Is
BIG HIT AT KEITH'S
Musical Comedy Star Sings With
Success in MADE
in Philly"

Made in Philly" began it's fourth and
last week at Kelth's at lively pace.
In addition TO some new songs and COM
edy, there WAS reinforcement in the array
Of extra stars.
Prominent among the newcomers was
Miss Adele Hassan. Philadelphia girl ana
lately OF "The Only Girl" company, in which
she played a prominent part. She was APP
pearinE in amateur productions here when
suddenly her name ceased to appear In local
productions and was transplanted to a
prominent spot in THE Only Girl" cast last
year
II is little wonder that she jumped into
fame overnight. In addition to possessing
a voice of remarkable sweetness. this little
star is the embodiment of grace. She
seems to put her heart in her songs and one
can readily see that sincerity actuates her
every move, Her vocal teacher was Miss
Phillips Jenkins, of this city. Miss Hassan
sang the romanza from "Cavalleria Rusti-
Gamma" and Love Here Is My Heart"
Her numbers proved an excellent contrast
with the more popular offerings of the
revue. She was rewarded with much ap-
plause.
And Bobby Heath was there. He was a
little more serious than when we saw him
before, but was given a warm welcome,
nevertheless. He offered among other
things Just one Day" song with a
pretty melody and story, telling of the
yearning of lover to have just one day
with the maid OF his heart. Bobby sang
the ballad as II he really meant It. That
the audience approved both the singer and
the sentiment was shown by the hearty
applause which followed. AL White, to
whom most credit is due for the artistic
numbers of this novel summer show, ap-
peared with Miss Frances in a very pictur-
esque Hawaiian dance. 1t tells the story of
a native, who after winning the heart of a
Hawaiian maiden, returns to claim her

customs of her native country. Finally
however. IL dawns upon her that she prom
ised to wed the lover who now seeks her
hand and he carries her off triumphantly
The audience showed cordial appreciation.
Harry Fern, Keller Mack and Pass Jones
dashed off pretty Hawaiian ditty to the
accompaniment Of ukeleles, and also had a
prominent part in the complications.
The two Dooleys, William and John, aug.
mented by two more Dooleys, Ray and
Gordon, cut UP capers throughout with
laughable results

the maids in Philly," put over snappy

the fact that she Is only years old

del and others were also conspicuously in
tho running.
And, before we forget, let IT be recorded
right here that Andrew Byrne. Jr., cornered
the applause of the show with several de-
cidedly artistic violin solos. The fact that
he did this while leading the Keith orches-
ira for the entire show is all the more to
his credit
Incidentally, Made in Phllly" holds the
record for the longest vaudeville run in this
city. The nearest approach to this was
made II we are not mistaken, by the late
Honey Boy Evans, who played three sue
cesslve weeks singly at the Chestnut street
house. The marking of this new era
is due to the initiatives of Harry #.
Jordan. The bill also included the Sixteen
Navassar Girls, Adler and Airline, Reidnoff,
the smoke artist; Melissa Ten Eyck and
Max Weiy in thrilling dances; Cooper and
Smith There was plenty of exciting news
in the pictures j. G.. c.
