strel show of the style that has been popular for years but combining with It many new features new "gags" and 1 the latest songs from melody row. The Black and White Revue has been in rehearsal for several weeks. until l at the present time the stars have ap- preached point we'll nigh perfection and 1t appears that the revue is to be the most successful of all Biiou pro- ductlonS and that IS saying a great deal indeed. The rehearsals have been url- der the personal supervision of Jerome Broderick, for many years assistant di- rector of the Hyperion players, and one of the best known directors in the business. Mr. Frederick has spent a great deal of time on the revue and yesterday announced that he was sat- ished that everything had been done to make the big act a success, and would let his reputation rest upon the result.
 There are a large number of artists in the cast, all local people and every one of them possessing great talent. Talent so pronounced, in fact, that 1t would lead them to high honors in the theatrical business were they to select that line of endeavor for their lives work
 In the cast are some old favorites that have long been popular with New Haven audiences. But there are also some new faces in the lineup, local artists who are out to win their laurels, and if their work in rehearsals is to be taken as any criterion that will not be much trouble. Among the ladies might be mentioned Ruth Scoheld, girl of charming personality who has been popular here in former productions and who bids fair to repeat her triumphs this week; Marie Kennedy young woman possessing soprano voice of remarkable purity along with the abil- ity to dance her way right into the hearts of her audiences Judy Graves. another young woman who can dance with the best of them, and show them all some new steps; Kittie Lynn, pretty Scotch girl who danced on the stage in her native land, but who is making her first appearance in this country in the Black and White Revue. There are other girls who might also be mentioned if we only had the room.
 Among the male members of the cast are Tom Lowe, a real minstrel man who will probably remain in the the atrical game after his local engagement; Frank Thomas, the interlocutor, and really one of the best in that line; Jack Valentine, an end man so full of pep that he is staying up nights wait ing for that first show Monday after noon; Lee Bosdick, an end man with choice line of jokes and couple of tuneful melodies, and John Miller, a familiar figure to Bijou audiences.
 Just look over the list of artists and their numbers, and you will probably agree with the management and MT. Broderick that 1t IS a production that anyone could well be proud of and one that no one .in New Haven can afford to miss.
 But the revue is by no means the whole vaudeville bill. Along with it are three star acts that are a show within themselves. Go1die and Ward have unique dancing novelty that has made a hit everywhere; Robb and Hol-- lis will present "a comedy skit entitled "A Shirt and Skirt" This is one of the laughing hits of vaudeville land and should go across in great style in New Haven. Cappel1 and Walsh are two pretty girls in a singing, dancing and comedy act entitled "Discord and Har- mony
 Then, too, there is the big feature picture Riders of the Dawn" by that famous author, Zane Grey. The picture IS described as one of the best pictures of the west that has ever been screened. All of Zane Grey's novels are popular 1n New Haven, and the pictures made from these novels are just as popular but Desert Wheat by Zane Grey was considered his best book and it is from that story that Riders of the Dawn"
