ACTS GO WELL OVER
 THE TOP AT LOEW'S

All five acts of the vaudeville a. I.oew's Bijou this week go we'll over the top as being each first-rate of it's kind. The Jean Mccoy and Ralph Wal ton act entitled "A Few Minutes With the Ouija," received almost an ovation. the encores lasting several minutes. The act consisted of one of those fla nsiliar married jowls,'' during which man and wife engage in a kind of word battle fuil of witty sallies. Although the dialogue was funny their songs and the falling about the stage of Walton seemed the real hit of the sketch
 Olive and Mack have line that the public like, and they make the most of it. In "Oh. You Clerkr' they en- gage in a comica.l flirtatous scene Tn the lobby of a hotel Then they wind up with some good singing and danc- ing intermixed with comedy. They give way to snappy musical couple of male performers, who are really of the best quality on the bill. Their performance on the banjo and ukulele were superfine, the Hawaiian music putting one in mind of soft summer skies and warm breezes. They were well appreciated.
 Fine as the opener. was the drawing 2 act of Clayton and Clayton. with songs during the drawing of some excellent pictures. As good for closing after the comedy numbers was the purely singing and dancing number of the five melody sisters Sessue Hayakawa in 'The Arabian Night is an unusual ly pleasing picture attraction.

CHARLES RAY IN THE
 VILLAGE SLEUTH." STRAND

Another inimitable Ray picture
 'The Village Sleuth." is showing this week at the Strand. Here Charles Ray sticks to his reuben" role, but things are rather more dramatic than in his last few appearances. He is just as comical as ever, too but some of his comedy is lost in the breathless interest and suspense that is caused by the story. It is a regular Sherlock Holmes affair with pretty love story thrown in, and an ending that would put Sherlock to shame for his utter lack of inventiveness.
 "The Village Sleuth" has a real idea in it's unraveline, and is posi- lively the most tense and exciting lit tie mystery comedy you ever saw. Of course. the idea is all for comic ends, but there is a time when tragedy seems to stalk, and one grips ones fists in agonizing suspense All to end in the most delightful burst of laughter.
 It is always out of place to reveal a detective" story's mystery in a re- view. So in fairness to the public it won't be related here. but it's fine.

1.-THE HEART OF A FOOL"
 FINE DRAMA AT TRIANON

series of almost unsolvable com plications. and plot that involves two married couples and a disap- pointed lover go to make up "The Heart of Fool" one of the fullest dramas that has come to the screen The chief attraction of the play lies in the fact that it is a portrayal of the experiences of ordinary people.
 The action occurs in a small city, that might be any of the many throughout the country. The homes, girls parties and general makeup are just what might be found almost anywhere. And it is a distinct relief not to have, for just this once. any way, a drama of over-fed wealth and luxury.
 James Kirkwood as Grant Adams, a promising young editor of Harvey, loves Laura Nesbit, who returns his devotion most thoroughly. Their af- fair is well under way to a happy ending when Margaret Muller comes to Harvey to teach school. and incidental ly, make conquest on all eligibles that come under her notice. From then there is intending trouNle and heart ache for all into whose lives Marga- ret has haplessly come. It is not un- til hearts are broken. faith is forgot ten and tragedy faced that the broken threads of life again are taken ur by the original lovers.

 ''The flu left me in such bad shape I was unable to hit lick of work for eight months' continued MT. Mclean. and I could find nothing that helped me until I got Tanlac. I could not walk any distance without blowing like a steam engine and stopping to rest. I had perfectly awful headaches and my nerves were so shattered I could never get a good nights sleep. I lost s1,2oO in time from work and spent s4OO on treatments and medicines that did me no good, so you can see what the spell of flu cost me.

It may sound exaggerated, but after taking the fourth dose I could tell it was going to do the work l have just finished my first bottle and already feel we'll enough to go back to work I want to eat all the time Ind my digestion is perfect: the headaches and nervousness are entirely gone and this Tanlac is just making a new man out of me. don't hesitate to say it is the best medicine in the world. =

"NIGHTIE NIGHT"
 AT THE JEFFERSON

If laughter is any criterion. "Nightie Night" presented at the Jefferson the- atre last night. is one of the most anus- ing of the recent farces. The p'uy was written by Martha M Stanley and Ade- laide Matthews.
 When Trixie Lorraine rents an apart- ment in New York it turns out to bt previously acquainted with her. MT Moffatt and his bride returned from trip to the theatre unexpectedly, and Miss Lorraine, who has retired for the night, is caught in a rather fetching negligee. The apartment had been rented without Mr Moffatts knowledge, and the comedy is based on his efforts to hide Miss Lorraine from his bride. The young woman takes refuge in first one room and then. another and finally hides in the kitchen.
 The situation is complicated by tho fact that Miss Lorraine is the fiancee or Jimmy Blythe, who is not aware that she was ever acquainted with Mir, Mof- fatt, or that she has young son who answers to the name of Freddy. very innocent meeting between MT. Mofatt and Miss Lorraine in a dining car be- tween Washington and New York places both of them under suspicion.
 The company is headed by Harry 0. Stubbs, who plays the part of Billy Mol fatt Mir. Stubbs is good comedian and gives q first rate portrayal Of young married man with clear con- science, but a great deal to explain. Thelma White plays Mrs Moffatt agree ably. Kirnan King makes the most or her opportunities as Trixie Lorraine Ai-s lie Lowe as Ernestine Dare, Harold Hutchinson as Phillip Burton, Max Waizman as Jimmy Blythe and Helena Namur as Nora completed the cast ot principals.
 "Nightie Night" is amusing without being risque, although the name sug- gests the usual bedroom farce. Both in lines and situations it is humorous without any episode that might offend the most discriminating theatregoer.
 The company is composed Of capaple actors who present the farce in breezy manner, and with the requisite verve to make a play of this character entertaining.
 There will be a matinee this afternoon and performance tonight, ending tho engagement

Machine Makes Holes

The venerable vaudeville gag. about the workman who bores the holes in Swiss cheese was probably originated by jokesmith who did not know that the American imitation Roquefort cheese actually receives this treatment And now machine has been developed for this work, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. It conists, fundamentally, of large num- Der of vertical needles which are pushed down through the cheese as hand lever is depressed. The purpose of making these holes is to quicken the growth cf the mold, or fungus, which gives the substance it's familiar flavor and ap- pearance.

ish government. Her plans, however, receive somewhat of an interference in the fact that her heart is won by his manly daring and courage. The fight against this love, and also match ing of wits makes a very interes ting photoplay. The desert settings and African characters in the picture are very realistic. There is also some gorgeous costuming of the African queen, almost too much so for the desert trip, but that can easily be overlooked from the color which is added thereby to the production. A comedy is an additional attraction to the feature.
