tainers ever seen, and the pep,

istic Of the A. E. F. will be present
throughout the snappy minstrel
show that will be given. Every
Star a Service StaE" is right, for
they are a galaxy of stars that put
their stuff across just like the shells
into Hunland, only the explosions
will be OF laughter and mirth, no
heartaches or signs.
An attractive bill of variety greets
Empress patrons today. A feature
will be the laughing novelty offered
by the Joe Boganny troupe, six
male athletes of assorted sizes and
weights who have one OF the fun
niest comedy acrobatic novelties in
vaudeville. Logan, Dom and Ha-
eel have an offering on the sketch
order. Corp. Joe Nathan is an en-
tertainer and has a way of telling
stories about army life that creates
no end of merriment. Coley and
Jaxon have a comedy offering re-
plete with entertaining patter.
In grace and charm and ability
the Barr Twins, who appear at, the
Orpheum this week, are much like
the Dolly Sisters. They are es-
pecially pleasing in such dance num-
bers as "The Old-Fashioned Waltz"
I'D "The Oriental Fan Tango"
Another headline attraction is THE
Vocal Verdict" presented in two
scenes, by Maud Earl, a singer of
distinction. Her repertory covers a
wide range, from opera to simple
ballads. Bessie Remple in "A Child
of Childs,' a mystery farce by Tom
Barry, is a conspicuous feature of
the bill. The sale of seats for Gus
Edwards 1919 song revue, which
next week, is brisk.
"Maytime," the phenomenal mu-
Steal success, is to be seen at the
Boyd next Sunday night for the
week. The story is romance at its
most improbable, and there is an
adroit stage fallacy, if you will, in
the ending. The cast includes John
Charles Thomas, John T. Murray
and Carolyn Thomson as the featur-
ed artists, and Russell Lannon,
Howard Marsh, Esberg Wheeler,
Ezra Walck, Alfred Hemming, Jen-
cite Methven, Grace Studiford, Isa-
belle Vernon, Title Salinger, Clar-
ice Snyder, Betty Kirkbride and
Ofelia Calvo (the Gypsy dancer) in
other important roles. Matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
Much fun is injected into the joy
Gus proceedings at the Gayety this
week by Beulah La Won, chorus
girl with a truly leather-lunged
voice. When she chirps her sub
cellar notes can be heard over the
other rs or 80 combined voices, and
in the rpick-out' number during
which the various choristers have
their individual chance at singing
"Oh, So Pretty" the audience is
never satisfied until Miss La Won
has her try at it. 1t is said that
during the summer months she has
a government position at a rocky
point OH the Atlantic coast where
she substitutes for a fog-horn while
the said horn takes its vacation.
Ladies matinee daily at 2:l5.
1t is II years since Mr.. Warfeid
first appeared in "Ths Auctioneer,"
which he will present at the Bran
deis on Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week. Despite changing tastes
in things theatrical, his performance
in the role of the old peddler, ST.
mon Levi, continues to amuse play
goers as much as ever.
