And now We have this funny little bird,
Taylor Holmes. in right smart comedy
allied Inside Down Taylor has a good
.ehicle here but there are several bad spots.
and some very careless bits OF details
show up in several places. for instance, the
rifle flashes The Wall Street Edition" and
walks the boy with copy of the Morn
ing Sun. But that is neither here nor
there The comedy Will put it over and
YOU just wait till you what Taylor does
when he rents that room in the hotel after
his wife says she wants to divorce him
And wait till YOU get the comedy from
Tanners" when he lights in this room
after Taylor has arranged it. This is a
scream It's good wholesome picture
and went over with BAN.
Orpheum.
A whole week of Catherine Calvert, but
in two different pictures. The effect was
not bad at all. This Fires of Faith" pic
ture was based on the work Of the Saliva
scenes Miss Commander Booth OF the fam
Gus organization This picture. while a
war picture. does not hit one like the most
OF them and make you wish you hadn {
gone 1t has a new phase and new twist
and makes you sadder and happier all at
once. I can not see a bad place IN the
camera is extraordinary It's good enter
tainmeut all the way thru.
Novelty.
But speaking Of vaudeville there is a lot
to say about this present bill at this little
house presided over by long and lengthy
Bob Mack I Just love to see acts stop
the show and last night two Of the five
tied it up in nice sweet little knot OF
course Elmo. the Mighty. got into a peck
Of trouble and We have to wait until next
week to see how he gets out Of 1t. Then
came Armstrong and Neville, a nice opener
with a display OF strength by the woman
member OF the duo. This got the show on
its way pleasantly The second act Fiolini
musiced IL up on the old violin in great
shape. With lots OF black hair and white
trousers ably assisted by the merry old
fiddle he entertained for several. minutes

chord with the gang. Then the show got
all tied up when May Kilduff and Allerton.
with a right pleasing young she,person, cut
up more comedy and distributed IL thoroly
thru the audience This trio is a darb.
AIlertOn is a scream and when he sang
that Handy Man" song. 1 nearly fell off
way the great know tust-hov- TO do it
sort that she always has been This tall
angular one person is so filled with real
showmanshtp that no matter what or how
she does something she makes IL worth
all your while to watch her. The unbilled
member Of the troupe Is very good On
fourth was the ever-ready Raines and
Avery This boob boy IS always a hit
to me. and this being the third time have
had the pleasure OF seeing him work. am
still enthused over his efforts When he
left the old trfo-"Daru. Good and Funny"
l know he took the name with him. as that
still implies to him And profanely speak
.1g I could tell it differently. This act,
like the ktlduff act, tied the show up
again. His partner IS very sweet and
makes an excellent straight woman. While
might say he is homely mutt
he has a world Of fun In that face And
like Neil Abel. he knows how to use It
The last act. Napier and Yvonne. have n
noyel idea for n dancing and cOntortion
act. YvOnne is a mighty clever toe dan
GER and the long skinny man Of the act
is some twtster. 1t finished the bill off
in great shape and the ticket buyers went
home with pleasant taste IN their mouth
for vaudeville. It's n pip show with five
pip acts and # is surely worth all your
time and money. Go over tonight and
see If I'm wrong And. o. nearly forgot
to tell You. that's the way I feel about
It. and l guess that viii be about all.
