GAYETY-
Mollie Williams Here.

Retaining all the charm and vivac.
ity that established her as a queen Of
burlesque, Mollie Williams returned

that hristles with novelties. The fair
Mollie has surrounded herself with
some capable entertainers, and they
vie with the star for applause honors
"Barreled Up" is the title of the
first round of nonsense, which serves
to introduce two of the best laugh
provokers that have been seen here in
a long time-Teddy Mcnamara and
Cy Plunkett. The latter plays in
black face and his eccentric dancing
is a scream.
This is followed by The Unknown
Law" dramatic little piece gripping
ly played by Miss Williams and Frank
Tanning. 1t went big with yestcr-
days holiday audiences.
Then came bits OF vaudeville with a
screaming finale styled THE Mid
night Colics." Mollie also put on a
fashion show during which she show
ed her Candy Kids" who were as
sweet as the name implies.

Work of rebuilding the Baltimore
pike between Washington and Hy-

not far beyond the District line,
and the road is barricaded. For
some reason there isn't any detour
sign. Instead, the motorist is stopped
and warned by a dozen young busi-
ness men, who then proceed to talk
business.
They will guide the motorist
around the three and one-half-mIle

starts by an ofrer OF a ride. This

flock of Washington's proyeroial
"nrst-nighters" greeted wild Cherry
last evening. The program describes
II as a dramatic comedy" but there
is scant comedy in the prologue and
three acts and the dramatic part OF
IL approaches melodrama.
Ruth Shepley easily adds to her
fame as one OF the cleverest OF the
younger school of actresses in this new
production. She wins favor by sheer
dint OF hard work in the title role.
Opposite her Tim Murphy. for years
one of the popular character actors
scores heavily.
Indeed those who saw "The Cave
Girl" at its premiere here several
weeks ago. which show also was
written by Mr.. Bolton, are inclined
to believe Miss Shepley in the title
role OF that play would have en-
hanced it's value.
The story OF wild Cherry" might
have been woven into a vaudeville
sketch with more telling effect. Its
theme is hardly new, with Tim
Murphy essaying the part OF a
ruined banker emerging from prison
after thirteen years to seek out his
little family only to learn his wife
has divorced him and welded his
former partner and has since died
after a not too happy romance.
Cherry. the eldest daughter takes
the younger sister and brother to

plauded.
