the local idea of paternal discipline

in musical comedy, John Hyams and
Leila Mcintyre are to be the stellar
attraction this week at the Orpheum.

playet, "Maybloom," by Frank Stanl-
mers. Miss Mcintyre has another
of her most charming roles. Among
her songs she will include her
Quaker number. One of the fea-
tured acts of the bill is to be that
Of the Arnaut Brothers. musical
tumbling clowns. While going
through their acrobatic routine they
play the violin. Still another fea-
tured act of the show will be the

Regina Connelli. They appear as
the joint stars of Aaron Hoffman's
matrimonial comedy, "The Honey
moon" Formerly Mr. Gibson starred
in "The Lincoln Highwayman," and
Miss Connelli was seen in "Moon-

Washington Square players. Three

'Pianoville." Each instrumentalist
plays an individual piano. George
B. Reed sings to his own accom-
paniment., Chris Richards, an &C.
centric English comedian, dances,
juggles, tells stories and sings. With
her repertoire of original songs,
which she sings in an original man

a film feature, and also news events
will be pictured by Kinograms

enjoy the La Petite Cabaret Revue,

transform the stage into an ultra
fashionable modern cafe, the mani
kin entertainers depict perfectly a
cabaret performance, introducing
such specialities as a "shimmy"

others. A singing quartet which
comes highly recommended is "The
Dixie Four" Their repertoire in
cludes the late song hits and some
old favorites. Princess Kalama and
