Short Comedian and Tall
Side Partner Head Vaude-
vile Bill.

Billy B. Van and James J. Corbett
head an excellent program at B. r.
Keith's Theater this week. Billy is
the same Irresistible friend that has
been amusing the theater patrons for
10, these many years, and every year
he seems to get better. James j..
who is alleged to have been champion
heavyweight of the world for the
term between John l.. Sullivan and
Robert Fitzsimmons, is a capable foil
for the fun of Billy Van and provided
an entertaining half hour for an audi :
ence that was loath to leave them get
of the stage. Their act might have
been better IL Jim had permitted
Billy to read that French joke he had
on the red card. Billy has been
threatening to read that joke for sew
eral seasons and his attempts have
always met with some sort of mis-
hap.
The program is such an excellent
one that to pick out any act or per-
former as a headliner would be to
confess the sort of entertainment one
likes best. There is singing. dancing.
music, comedy and some clever act
ing.
Nat Nazarro, jr., with his selected
sextet of musicians, contributed a
clever singing and dancing speciality.
but the management of the theater
failed to put on the program the
name of a young woman whose dance
was about the best thing in the offer
ing. Another dancing act. which,
though of a different nature. does not
suffer by comparison with the Ma
zarro act, was that contributed by
Helen Higgins and Natalie Bates.
They danced gracefully and showed
several costumes that were creations.
Jack Osterman gave a clever mon
ologue that was helped by his songs.
Claire Whitney. the former movie
star, and Robert Emmet Keane In a
comedy skit "The Gossiper" proved
one OF the hits of the performance.

THE CAST:

It's one thing to create a cartoon
character which has been as success
full as the famous ''Mr. Jiggs;" it's
quite another undertaking to make a
successful musical comedy based on
the adventures OF this same character.
Everybody knows that George Mac
Manus is tho artist in question; the
Identity OF the individual responsible
for bringing Up Father At the Sea-
short" presented at the Shubert-
Belasco last night is q mystery. for
the program fails to debit him. Tis
better thus.
Frankly. the 'Mr. Jigss- entertain
ment Is broad burlesque. Most offer
ings of this character modestly dis
claim any semblance of q plot. "Mr.
Jiggs" Is mostly all plot.
OF course. Jiggs has his troubles
with Maggie, and the familiar rolling
pin makes its appearance. Dinty
Moore also manages to act as Jiggs'
next best friend, to Maggie's dis
pleasure. Several other characters are
introduced. all decide to go to Atlantic
City, and then all decide to come back
again. and a peace treaty is finally
signed by Jiggs and Maggie. That's
ABOUT all there Is TO IT,

bit, and then puts over a "sure- fire"
laugh reference to Alexandria. Some
day we're going to write a brochure

joke and why 1t never fails TO arouse
paroxysms OF mirth.
Walter Vernon, in the character of
Jiggs. unquestionably deserves credit
for his excellent makeup. He has
succeeded in putting Jiggs in the
flesh, facially at least

SALES TAXTOH|T
ONLY BIG DEALERS
Little Fellows" Exempt Under
Terms of Smoot's Plan for
Revision.

Farmers and small merchants maxi
ing sales OF less than $1,000 would
not be subject to tire provisions OF
proposed sales or Consumption"
taxes by the terms of Senator Smoot's
tax revision bill, now before Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon for ap-
proval.
Secretary Mellon said today he Is
giving much study to this particular
clause OF the smoot bill. though he
was not ready to say that he will
approve IL as il is now tentatively
drafted.
Tax experts of the Treasury to-
day continued with Secretary Mellon
consideration OF various angles of
the sales tax. to make up for the
loss in revenue from the proposed
repeal of excess profits taxes.
Generally the position of the Treas
ury Is that the tax burden upon the
small income classes shall not be
increased. Secretary Mellon Is said
to be heartily in favor of removing
many OF the so-called luxury taxes
which harass the public.
Fountain drinks, ice cream and
other similar articles of food and
drink are among the clases of taxes
which the Treasury favors repeating.
The idea upon which revenue ex-
perts are now working out the pro-
gram with Secretary Mellon Is that
sales tax, IL imposed. should tap
surplus Income that is now being
wasted. and certain groups of COM
modities that can be taxed effectively
without evasion.
Treasury experts are opposed to
continuing the tax upon items of
luxury, which produce relatively
small revenue, but involved general
annoyance for the public.
