SHUBERT VAUDEVILLE
MAKES ITS BOW HERE
Marie DressIer Is Headliner and
Milo an Attraction at Re-
built Opera House
Chestnut Street Opera House-Shu-

Chestnut Street Opera House--Shu
bert vaudeville began its career ycster-
day afternoon and last night and was
given n genuine welcome. The rough
spots inevitable on such momentous
occasion we're taken kindly by the
audience in the knowledge that they
will be smoothed out when the forces
get working together and the scenery
has had more practice doing what il Is
intended to do. The newly constructed
interior and the beautiful stage sets
make this house one Of the most effec-
tive homes of vaudeville in the coun-
try.
Marie Dressler and her company are
the headliners this week with their
Winter Garden act. It really wouldn' t
make much difference what Miss Dress
Ter did; she would be funny anyway.
But in this act she has clever stuff
to work with and she keeps her audi
cnce in a roar. The skit on the Barry
mores has n laugh in every line, but
Opera as It's" is even better.
Hetty King, once great favorite
they tell us, going strong in the British
music halls is doing pretty much tho
same thing now she always has done
and her act drags badly, with tiring
waits for changes of costume that
scarcely justify the delay.
Milo, whose name carries an interro-
CATION mark after IL on the program,
is the bright individual star of the
entertainers. In the language of
vod'v'l, this act is a clean Knockout.
There isn't moment of it that could
be spared
Flora Hoffman is singer with an
unusually good voice and most effcc-
tive personality and she won the house :;
the La Pinski dog act went we'll, the
Klein brothers were amusing and n
South American sketch, called "In
Argentina" was n novelty that was
worth seeing.

One of the most thrilling aerial acts

smile" She uses n flying trapese, and
for the greater part of the act is above

on single rope TOOK the breath from
many in the audience. She sings and
plays, too. Rube Beckwith assisted at
the piano.
The surrounding show pleased. Lang
ford and Frederick in Shopping
showed q playlet Of merit. Joe Towle,
droll comedian, entertained in his own
peculiar style. Handlers and Mills, &C.
centric artists, scored decided hit.
