ined them, the Militia Bureau annual
report showed today.
This explained that many of these
officers had not had necessary eN-
perience and would naturally fail II

The good OF the service required
that they be dropped, it was held.

b. r. KETTH's.

Trixie Friganza proved at Keith's
! Theater Monday night that the years
have not robbed her of her incon.
parable charm as a comedienne. an
Camp" this time, she more than up
held her end of the double star bill
that opened at Keith's for II weeks
enga cement.
Bessie Clayton, in her 1918 dance
revue, kept warm her spot in the
hearts of theatergoers who have ap-
pie uded her for years. her feet
twinkIed with the agility of yore, and
she was ably assisted by Elisa end
Eduardo Cansinos, Spanish dancers Of
rare ability, together with Tom
Dingle, John Guiran, and Frank
Hurst
In other words, IL was the same
Trixie Friganza and the same Bessie
Clayton that the large audisnce tx
pected to see. TriXie came through,
as always, with new comedy songs
and new comedy lines: Bessie Clay
ton introduced many new features to
lovers OF the dance
Sharing honOrs with these two fav-
orites was Lieutenant Gitz-Rlce, OF
the first Canadian contingent to reach
the battlehelds. Lieutenant Rice,
recounted interesting incidents of the
trenches and made one OF the hits
of the evening with his own song,
famous among the soldiers: keep
Your Head Down, Fritzie Boy.
An added feature of this bill This
week is a Red Cross picture show
ing how soldiers mutilated in the
war are being prepared to talSa their
places once more as useful citizens
in the world of indstry.
The Miranda Brothers presented
sensational act in a miniature Zeppe-
lin and a flying trapeze- 1t was Tar
above the average.
Jim and Betty Morgan were enter
tanning in q series of comedy songs,
with the nimble fingers OF the male
end of the duo tickling the piano 10
way that has not been heard for
q long time.
Harry Langdon appeared in a rar''
type of automobile, "Johnny's New
Car" and with Rose" and Cecil
presented probably the most hilarious
act of the evening
Ralph Kitner and Jim Reany, in
"An ocean Episode" the latter In
bIackface, furnished clean amuse-
ment with a collection OF new jokes.
Merle and company offered bird
act that proved something new.
Altogether II is a well-balanced Dill
