ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL Lester"

Ada Mae Weeks danced and coquet-

National Theater audience a. the
opening of Listen Lester" last night,
and thereby permitted a goodly num-
Der of people to forget for the time
the sweltering conditions, winch
usually are not conducive to smiles
OF course there were others to add
10 the frivolity for which all musical
comedies are conceived. Marguerite
Francesca, for instance, in the part
of Arbutus GUILTY, gave those pres

with Gus Shay, Harry PAUL, Ernie
Adams and Earl f4lG.ey, formed the
principal support TO Miss Week. clever
and at times grotesque dancing.
Listen Lester" as is true of most
musical amusements, is about nothing
whatever. A thread involving love
and an homogeneous detective scheme,
in which Listen Lester Lite takes
the part of the sleuth and gives the
play it's name, serve to connect the
many novel songs and dances and
give the masculine co-stars abundant
opportunity for the display of their
talents. Gus Shy, as William Penn.
1.-THE fixer, is a comedian extraordinary
who keeps his hearers in commissions
whenever he is on the stage, which is
most of the time. The part of Title

end Earl Higley. Listen Lester is pre-
scented in two acts, the scenes beins,
respectively, in the gold room of the
Hotel Ritz. Palm Beach, and on the
supper porch of the same hosiery.
Six attractive songs punctuate the
opening chapter of the piece and as
many others make the second act
equally as fascinating.

METROPOLITAN and KNICKER
B0CKER-"The Perfect Lover"

In the picture showing Eugene
O'Brien in 1.-The Perfect Lover" shown
at the Metropolitan and knicker-
booker theater yesterday, the acme
of blending of artistic setting and
fine romantic acting seems to have
been reached. AS the young artist of
naturally fine instincts, with a lean
ing toward all that is good and beau
tiful, Mr.. O'Brien depicts a man to
whom sudden prosperity and popu-
1arity comes, leading him to new
fields where the flowers are of the
hot-house variety, and where his
genius for exercising the tender pas
sion finds splendid material to work
on He has painted the portrait of
simplicity, and it's success has brought
fame in a world where simplicity is
the last thing sought.
Mr.. OBrien, in this colorful picture,
has l;ampIe opportunity to display his
dramatic ability.
Larry Semon is really funny. and the
two-reel play in which he stars as
supplementary feature of the bill
really interesting. The views of the
Kallipolis Grotto at Chesapeake
Beach are interesting, and the music
is especially good.
