A quiet vehicle for the crisp humor
of William Hodge Is "a Cure for Cur

ular pretensions, and so there are no

audience warmed to the star from his

speech just before the fourth and last
act. Mr.. Hodge congratulated his

n. +. KEITH'S.


The vaudeville bill at B. F. Keith's
Theater this week is superlative.
There is not a dull or tiresome mo-
ment during the eight acts. At no
time in the entire performance is
an opportunity offered or wanted to
glance at the program to speculate
upon what is coming next, which Is
the true test OF the worth of q vaude-
willie bill.
Mime. Marguerite sylvia, the grand
opera diva, and Ruth st. Denis, the
dancer, are given prominence on the
program which they well deserve.
Miss Muriel Window, effervescent,
spontaneous, clever, and most pleas
ing to behold. only further estab-
fishes herself as one OF Washington's
real favorites.
The three Romanoffs open the bill.
Fantastic classical dancers they are
and delightful in their Interpretation
Of what always pleases Broadway.
Frederick Hallen and MoIlie Fuller
depicting the stars of other days, en-
livened their all too brief stay with
an exposition of the halcyon time of
real burlesque. "I danced that dance
in 1874" concluded Hallen, though
no one believed him.
Jane Courthope and Company offer
a one-act sketch entitled "Our Fam
ily," a true-to-life presentation of
home difficulties and more than salts
flying.
Artie Mehlinger, the singer, and
George W.. Myer, the popular COM
poser, fully lived up to their repu-
tation.
Herbert williams and Hilda VOL
fus paralyzed the audience through
out their half hour OF musical nom
sence. "Hark. Hark, Hark," is Will
liams' offering. The act is novelty in
the strictest sense of the word,
Muriel window, the Little Peacock
Of vaudeville, Is pocket edition Of
"The Follies," THE Winter Garden"
and all the rest of the 1919 models.
Her songs, dances, youth, and per-
sonality make one wonder why she
hasn't been starred in some big show.
Nine. Marguerite Sylva's charm is in
fectious. Her songs, MY Little Birch
Canoe and You," "You Don't Know"
and the "Habanera" from Carmen"
were enthusiastically received. Nine.
Sylva's gracious and captivating man
ner completely won her audience, and
she was repeatedly encored.
Ruth st. Denis and company offer
an unusual series of dances for this
1919 season. Miss st. Denis is at her
best. Assisted by Doris Humphrey,
Betty Horst. Edna Malone. and Pearl
Wheeler, Miss st. Denis has delved
into the Far East for her vehicle. The
concluding number, "'The Spirit of De-
mocracy," is opportune and artistical-
ly presented.

at the Central Coliseum last week.

proval. A corps of young lady

GARRICK.

The jinx which has dwelt in the
playhouse at Seventh and + streets
in the past apparently had no more
respect for the Messrs. Shubert than
for any OF their predecessors in the
running of the theater. Last night
the house, under the title Of "The
Shubert-Garrick." and completely re-
decorated within, was opened to
Washington theatergoers as draw
ing room house of play" but II was
a chilly opening, for the heating
plant had entered into q conspiracy
with the aforementioned jinx and of
heat there was precious little.

frigidity Of the newly opened house

avoidable, and II IL q certainty that
