BALL AND LAMBERT ARE
HITS IN KEITH'S BILL
So Are Several More pn Decid-
eddy Entertaining PAbgram.

To an audience which taxed the
capacity OF the theater. and to the
large number Of bankers assembled
at keith's last night. the weeks Of
ferinK looked like a million dollars
To the regulars and casuals the bill
was more than satisfying. IL was as
well balanced an offering as has been
carded at the popular playhouse In
many moons.
The gentleman who selects the
names TO be headlined in the electric
signs In front OF the theater must
have had considerable difficulty this
week, for the space is limited and
there are several who would feature
an ordinary buL Popular choice
might change somewhat the placing
OF names this week.
Ernest X. Ball. composer of more
popular song hits than any other
American. and Maude Lambert won
distinct honors. Balls voice Is as
good as usual His songs are known
and appreciated by everyone. His
latest, Mother OF Pearl" was well
received and was excellentiy sung by
Miss Lambert Ball has the distinc-
tion OF knowing he is appreciated. He
gives fun measure and enjoys II.
Little Miss Melody" a miniature
operetta. Jack Lait's clever take-off
on JAZZ. WAS u utclueO MT. Inc pfiH-
cipals. George Whiting and Sadie Burt.
/ make the most OF their opportunities
The young ladies' are attractive. while
Maxwell Dinus and Stephen McNailey
perform most creditably in their
dance numbers.
Robert Emmett Keane. well re-
membeYed here, 10 quite himself.
His Day Off" Frances Nordstrom's
skit, has an unusual setting and Is
out OF the ordinary. Arthur Wanzer
and Maybelle Palmer offered
sketch which was a decided hit.
In this more, or less Jaded day of
dancing. Bert Beri, a California prod
uct. assisted by Jay Velie and Paul
O'Niell, is refreshing.
Merry Moments" with Mildred
Myra and Sam Green. is well received.
Miss Myra sings and dances and Sam
Green shows something on the fiddle
that is well above the ordinary.
The bill is opened by a roller skat-
ing act which is first class. Mary
Speer and Roy Harrah speed around
the stage with utter abandon.
Topics of the Day" and the Kino-
grams round out a most satisfying
bill.

GAYETY-
"yOllities of l92O,1

Right smart entertainment is SAN
Howe's Jollities of 1920" appearing
this week at the Gayety. 1t rolls
through two acts and ten scenes filled
with bright quips. merry sallies and
tuneful melodies. not to mention
many pretty girls easy to look at
1t possesses sixteen new numbers. any
one Of which would be sufficient to
make the show hit.
The Howard-Bragden-Ta -Tarr trio dc
a major part of the joy-making. They
work hard and skillfully from frs,
to last and well deserve the applause
accorded them. Then there are Norma
Barry. Helen RikofY, Lillian Norwood
Harold Carr Frank Mallahan and
William +. Collins. assisted by two
dozen beautiful maidens who can
sing and dance.
In addition. there are several bright
vaudeville features. the Synco Melody
orchestra being prominent.

Dauid Wafeld Successfully Reuoes Peter Grimm the Belasco

in "Peter Grimm" He seems the
more blase for it. He handled his
role in excellent fashion last night

Willem. but that he did receive IL al
all-my, my, what a huobuo thA'

Miriam Doyle Is a sweet and lovey
and youthful Kathrien. beloved OF the
old man. Her very helplessness
makes for the sympathy OF the on
locker. who cannot but fear that she
will fall into the nav OF the rspA-
cious and scoundrelly Frederik.
Every other single role In this pro-
duction IL capably handled. with some
slight emphasis upon those or Marie
Bates, John r. Weber and George
wellington.
Mr.. Belasco's touch Is seen In tho
excellent staging OF the piece. The
slowly moving sails OF the windmill
seen through the window in the nrst
act. the thunder storm, the old clock
that kept Marta 80 busy-these are
but symbols OF the author.
There were few empty seats last
night. There will probably be few

The play was simply set, 10 the
modern manner. the hgures silhouet-

feature entitled "The Whirl of Varie-

costly and beautiful in personnel as
in the unusual costuming of the

WANT RUSSIAN TRADE

WASHINGTON, March 3.-A com nlittee representing the American Com mote trade with Russia, urged the state department today to remove re- strictions against trade with that country and to permit delegation of business men to go to Russia to in vestigate economic and industrial con- ditions. The text of the memorandum made public by the committee asks specifically for the immediate grant ing of export and import licenses, the extension of full shipping rights. the unrestricted resumption of mail. tele- graph and wireless communication, and the safeguarding by the govern. ment of Russian funds sent to the United States for the establishment of business credits.
