B. F. Keith's.

Elsie Janis appears at keith's this
week. and her reception last night
clearly demonstrated her unusually
strong hold on the hearts of the pa
irons of vaudeville. Miss Janis has
been appearing for the soldiers in the
camps around New York. and is on her
in the same work Seasons back Miss
Janis has always made hits at keith's
but nothing to compare with the record
last night. She did the usual limitations
and. in addition. introduced two that
will remain in her repertoir for the
rest of her career on the stage. The
first new one was that of Leonora III
rich. in the Tiger Rose" and to those
who had seen the piece recently at the
Belasco it was revelation in ac
curacy of voice and detail. Then came
Will Rogers with his lasso, and Miss
Janis made the. original look almost
like a novice at his own game.
Every one of the other numbers
scored hit. Newcomers We're seen
in George Bancroft and Octavia Broske
the former high-class comedian with
original methods and the latter a singer
of merit with a most pleasing per-
sonality. Their turn was continuous
laugh Another new couple, Virginia
Lewis and May White. sang southern
rag-time melodies in way to estab-
lish them as favorites. Jane Connolly
and company presented a clever little
sketch, entitled "Bettys Courtship,"
that was exceptionally clever and en-
tertaining. having almost a laugh in
every line. "The Rounder of Old
Broadway" interpreted by Bob Mat
thews and company, proved a most
pleasing number, the supporting COM
pany being up to all the requirements
and helped carry the star to a sub
stantial success. other entertaining
numbers embraced Eddie Bowling in
original comedy chatter: the four In
danias on the flying rings. and the
Hearst-Pathe pictures.

ADJUSTMENTS
Belasco.

The Belasco audience last evening
seemed to care little who wrote the
songs Of Fancy Free" and less who
sang them. so long as Marilynn Miller
danced to their music and Clifton Craw-
ford filled the gaps with his irrespon-
sible patter.
This new musical play" is as light
and airy and fanciful as the dancing
of the one and the whimsy of the other.
1t is not apt to give an audience pause
at a definition. If it did, the AUDITOR
might term that of musical play IN
complete, for the melody and the plot
often are minor considerations beside
the dancing. not only of Miss Miller
but the chorus as well, and the ire
pressible comicalities of CRAWFORD
Harry Conor and Charles Brown.
tive illusion on the first "heatless" day.
and the brilliant setting and colorful
costumes gave further suggestion OF
warmth and gayety that relegated the
matter OF inaccessible Goa! to then5ack-
ground. The music itself was lifting,
me1odious, catchy and perhaps as incon-
sequential as some of the titles might
suggest: If Dorothy Donnelly, who
wrote the book, and Augustus Barratt.
who wrote the songs, conceived that
the way to hold a wartime audience
was to make 1t forget war and every
thing serious. they succeeded admira-
bly,.
But attention naturally turns from
the medium to the personnel of this
production. 1t seemed a sort of tri-
umph for mind and agility over ma
terial. Neither plot nor book restrained
the youthful and ingenious Miss Miller
from dancing when she would, and dom
ming a ballet costume for one Of her
numbers. Nor did they offer an impedi-
ment to Clifton Crawford's frequent
excursions into monologues.
AS a perplexed father Harry Conor
brought into play his historic and sure
fire comedy methods, and as a professor
who was a mere kindergartener in love
Charles Brown tailed his share of
laughs.
Marjorie Gateson, Ray Raymond and
Elizabeth Gergley were a few others
who stood out amid an unusually en-
thusiastic and capable list of enter
tainers.

National.

While yesterday may have been a
"heatless" day. there was no evidence
of 1T in the reception which a capacity
audience accorded to Raymond Hitch
cock, Leon Enrol and their associates
in IAN intimate revue, in two acts and
unlimited scenes" entitled "Hitchy-
koo." With two such headliners
laughter was an absolute guarantee for
the evening; there were not a few
times when there was a suspension of
activities on the stage to allow the eff
fects of the drollery to be mastered on
the other side of the footlights. Laugh
ter coupled with surprises, it was evil
dent, embody the complete aim and OBJ
ject of this production, and it was
completely attained.
In announcing one of the scenes,
Hitchcock stated 1t was called The
Lobby of the Theater," but confessed
called "a Piece of Cheese" and been
as accurate. except that the latter title
did not sound as well as the first. That
comment certainly applied to the title
label. and nothing more. Perhaps il
might be said to be enlightening as to
the plot, for that is more conspicuous
than usual by its absence-there isn't
any. Each of the two acts is divided
into several scenes. each having indi-
Vldual merit as to novelty and beauty
OF setting and acting, but having little
more in common than the usual vaude-
vile bill. The first act. for instance.
opens with scene by the sea at San
Sebastian, Spain. which gives oppor-
tunity for a handsome setting, next
presents Mr.. Hitchcock before a drop
curtain for brief monoIogue, SWITCH
es to the bill boards in front of a the
ater. where snatches from popular pro
ductlons are presented. which disap-
pear in favor of an elaborately deco
rated and homely country store, with
an artistlc Chinese scene following,
and SO on. The changes come almost
as swiftly and with almost as little
apparent machinery as are possible in
the film theaters. There is abundant
opportunity for display of individual
possessed.
The opening surprise of the enter
tainment is the appearance of Mr..
Hitchcock in the audience before the
presents himself as the boss
OF the show and confides to the audi
ence that because many people fail to
see the finale of such entertainments
to be presented first These droll com
ments of Mr.. Hitchcock as to what is
comins-almost relieving the critic of
ms Guties-are in his characteristic
vein. His comedy throughout the even
ing finds a rival in that if Mr.. Leon
Enrol. who is endowed with versatility
and that wonderful knack of putting
over pantomime effectively. While it
has been seen by Washington audi
erces before, the intoXication scene of
Mr.. Enrol. in which he is ably assisted
by George Moore, was one of the
brightest of the evening
One of the most artistic and enjoy
able features was The Family Album
in which the persons of huge album
step out from the pictures and dance
and sing delightfully."-. 1t was in doing
her bit of the "Bowery girl" in this
scene that the talented and diminu-
tive Sylvia Jason shone especially.
Irene Bordoni won a warm tribute for
her singing of French songs. and the
audience gave her an ovation for her
rendition Of "Over There in the Ian
guage of the tri-color.

Gayety.

Harry Hastings Big Show, with Dan
coleman as the principal comedian, is
at the Gayety this week, opening to au-
diences yesterday that packed the house
to the doors. The usual opening and
closing burlesques were gone through
with, enabling the manager to put for
ward large company in a varied COL
lection of songs and dances, the chorus
being good looking and shapely.
Dan Coleman had his audience with
MIN from the start, and his manner Of
srasping the points of the libretto or
interJecting original jokes caused as
mucn laughter among the organization
as the people out in front. He appears
as Carmenceta in the final burlesuue
having on a makeup that would make
Jullan Eltinge Jealous and from which
he created a great deal Of fun and ap-
plause- George Martin as the principal
supporting man sang well and danced
better. while Phil Peters proved a good
foil for the comedian.
The leading women were away above
the average, Grace fremont. Alma
Bauer, Elizabeth Teti, Hazel Lorraine
and Anna Connors doing effective work
in singing or dancing toward the sue
cess OF the program. Among the spe-
cialtes were Cert and Cert, who deserve
mention on account of their acrobatic
act being exceptionally original, start
ling and deftly performed. The scenery
was elaborate and in good taste. as were
the costumes of both the principaIs and
chorus.
