Triple headliners will be in vogue at
the Orpheum the coming week, Lew
Dockstader, Regay and Sheehan and
Maid Of France" sharing the stellar
hUnors.
There was a time not very long g
when Lew Dockstader was known solely
as Americas minstrel comedian, and
Lew Dockstader's Ministries was one of
the best blackface organizations in min
strelsy, Since his advent in vaudeville,
however, Dockstader has created for
himself a splendid reputation as a char
actor actor: in fact, his d~elineations are
much more difficult than those present
ed by even such actors as Cyril Maude
or Wilton Lackaye, because Dockstader
in his characterizations selects for his
impressions types Of Americans who
are familiar as ones doorstep.
Violet Beeson, an actress of undoubt-
ed ability and tried achievements, has
produced a number OF worthwhile
sketches, including the High Cost OF
Living and ut Didn't Happen" but
the Maid OF France" Is probably the
most pretentious Of her offerings. Maid
of France" is cleverly and intelligently
written and beautifully acted, and pre-
tentiously produced. 1t Is one of the
sidelights of the great war.
A dancing act Is presented by Pearl
Regay and Lester Sheehan. Both these
young people have done excellent work
