Keith's Has

Jane and Katherine Lee
Head Vaudeville Blu
At Playhouse.
Behold the vaudeville millennium.

Behold the vaudeville millennium
II Keith's show yesterday
prompted the rhapsodical, then we
are at a loss to express It, There
was much more than that contained
in the bill, which started yesterday
afternoon, for II was a ftting me-
mortal for a Memorial Day.
From the start. when chic Nsie
OMeers fitted across the footlights
on the wire. to the classic interpre-
tations of the modern terpisshorean
adopts, Stafford and De Ross, the
holiday crowd was physically un-
able to make known a greater ap-
probation.
Jane and Katherine Lee, assisted
by William Phinney, were the
headliners, closely followed by John
Steele, tenor. All the wiles OF
youthful years, all the happiness
allied with childish vivacity and
trickery, and all the dramatic SEN
sations, coupled with natural
story of a child's sadness. were
brought out by this pair of mod
ern babies.
1t is sufficient to say that John
steele, recent tenor with the Fol
lies" waded through a goodly part
of his musical reportory to sppease
the audience. He was compelled
to give seven encores, included in
which were several of his former
hits. He was ably assisted by the
smiling Jerry Jarnagin. His work
was characterized by the even
tenor OF a voice for ballads. won
pressed on by a winning person
ality.
Miss Juliet brought her wealth
Of talent TO the fore. Her adapta-
tions OF those whose memories and
distinctiveness make up a great
part of the theatrical world, and
its history. were practically pleas
ing. She, too. was compelled to
return repeatedly and give a bit OF
Eddie Foy, or Ed Wynn, a Barry
more or Rooney. She was accom-
panied by Duane Bassett
A worthy criterion Of the EnE-
lish feature acts may be in that of
Mr. Hymack. who knows lots OF
things and shows them. His ca
pacity for presenting the unique
and Expected seems we'll nigh
overlooking.
The remaining acts on the bill,
Charles and Madeline Dunbar, in
"Animslfunology;" Val and Bernie
Stanton. English Boys from Amer
ica," and Earle and Sunshine. who
presented a comedy satire, Yes
terday and Today" carrying with II
a pretty study of girls. and other
girls, may be termed within the
category of the preluding attrac-
tions.
The Stanton duo have the faculty
of throwing words, which faculty
they use in conveying a likeabie
humor.

dance started in midafternoon and
was practically continuous until
after IL. Almost from the start the
dance floor of the big ballroom was
filled and every number. be it foA-
trot, one-step or waltz, was encored.
The jazz testers. as the Oehmann
orchestra are now known. made 4
big hit with the holiday crowd and
they gave the dancers the jaZziest
of jazz with all the trimmings.
The big crowd was out to be en-
tertained and as a result the six big
rides and all the other attractions
did land-office business, the
coaster dip being again the most
popular with the derby racer a close
second. The midway of fun was an
other gathering place and was filled
early ana late with jolly crowd
that romped and laughed it's way
through the numerous fun producers
in the big building.

Local Play
"A Marriageable Mother
Presented for Charity
At BeLasco.

A large audience thronged the Be-
lasco thester last night to see what
they expected would be fair nrst
attempt, written by an inexperi-
enced local playwright. After the
nrst dull is minutes. the spectators
expressions changed from friendly
tolerance to frank interest as Mrs.
c. c. Calhoun's "a Manageable
Mother" proved a truly entertaining
light comedy written in a mildly
satirical vein.
The play. which will be presented
tonight. tomorrow night and tomor-
row afternoon. deals with Washing
ton society, the principal figure in
which. in this instance, is Mrs. Pace,
a fashionable matron who conceals
her age and the fact that she has
two children in order that she may

This play of Aaron Hoffman
marks the return of Chahrles Dill
ingham as a producer of the legiti-
mate drama and provides Barney
Bernard, hitherto associated with
the Abe Potash comedies, a charac-
| terization of genuine stellar pro-
portions.
Based on the cordial reception the
metropolitan premier received at the
National last night, Two Blocks
Away" is pointed towards a bulls
eye hit once it reaches Broadway.
Barney Bernard, in a long stage
experience, has never been fitted to
a part that offers him such gener-
/ ous) opportunities to construct a
notable stage portrait. Mate Pom
merantz" is a struggling cobbler of
the East side OF New York, who.
through a forgotten ancestor. Is be-
queathed a large fortune, and the
chance to move two blocks away
to the aristocratic environment Of
Fifth avenue and all the luxuries
of wealth. The change in environ
ment and elevation to real society
atmosphere transforms the once
deep lover of humanity into a patron
of snobbishness and eternally sus-
picious old man.
Through the Vaccinations of a
villainous lawyer il develops that
Mates partner and not the old cob
bier is the real beneficiary of the
unexpected fortune and the inciden
tai details are deftly unwoven for
the conventional happy ending.
While the theme is not strikingly
original and bits of the comedy are
yet in a decidedly crude state, the
major dialogue of the three acts has
more than the average quota of
clean laughs, the heart touches
are appropriately sprinkled for the
essential element of psthos, and the
main character is never permitted
to stray from the paths of certain
appeal
In the art of facial expression
Bernard has all the gifts of a War
field. His Nate Pommerantz"
stressed the comedy phase Of the
character and yet the climax Of
the second act, which hnds i'm be-
fore a mirror 'excoriating the arti-
fcial traits which have submerged
the pIeadings of his heart reacted
last night as the great moment OF
the play.
Second honors are annexed by
Vivian Tobin,Sa refreshing ingenue
with a well modulated voice. who
makes Jane" a wistful and sincere
little ward always worthy of SYM
pathy. Dodson l. Mitchell handled
the role of a would-be detective and
partner of Nate" in a manner
which made him stand out as run
ner up for the comedy portion.
The remainder of the supporting
cast is competent.
Two Blocks Away" with the
polishing Of a few minor faults
should be capable of qualifying
without effort as one of the sub
stantial successes of the new sea-
son, for which il was fashioned.
