A DREAM OF A BILL
AT KEITH'S THIS WEEK.

This weeks bill at B. F. Keith's gives
one the impression that the bOokers of
this bill must be angels. Not the kind
of angels who hand out the coin to make
4 show overnight, but the kind who
know how to put a vaudeville show to-
gether The bookers of this weeks bin
have been more than kind, they have
been generous, as they have put on one
hill such recognized entertainers as John
Hyams and Leila Mcintyre, Val and En-

PHILIPPINE BAND
Is A MELoDI0US HIT.

People who live In the island countries
seem to be able to produce the melody
which charms those who do not live in
the warm countries. That is the impress
sion we obtained while hearing the Royal
Philippine String Band at the Lyric.
without any attempt to be theatrical.
these six members Of the band play num-
Der after number, blending their entire
offering into a pleasing affair.
Vaudeville can stand more acts Of this
nature, as the public appears to appre-
ciate music when played on a string in
strument. This band has wisely selected
the numbers on their program and they
appear to enjoy their efforts as much as
an audience. OF course, We know the bill
is lengthy one this week but this band
should have more time. This band is a
treat.
The sketch of the bill IS called "The
New Leader" which is one of those
bare stnge affairs which was used to so
much advantage in Miss Nobody From
Starland." There is a lot of amusing
business" in this act. The comedy goes
over with a bang.

"CUTIES" SELDOM WEAR
SKIRTS IN "CUTIES" SHOW.
The chorus girls in the Cute Cuties
show seldom appear in skirts during the
first act, as tights appear to be the fash
ion in this show. This show, judged
by the first act, might be called "a
Tight Revue" as that appears to be the
prevailing costume. Tights, with the
necessary ruffles around the waist OF
the wearer, are no longer shocking" at
this late day. Even two of the chief
female players Of the company appear
In tights In song numbers.
This first act is a good example OF
speed, as the principals have a great
deal to do in song and nonsense and the
chorus is trotted On and Off the stage
many tunes. One or the nltS OF tne snow
is Miss Barrly Melton in Moments OF
Melody" Her best number is 1.-THE Jap
anese Sandman" Frances Farr is the
featured woman player, and she has a
clever number called You Ought to See
Her Now" Miss Farr wears black
tights to advantage while singing
Leader Of the Band" Eddie Golden has
good voice and a pleasing manner and
illustrates the wisdom of placing him
in the company. He has a funny bit
with Nanny Besser called THE Cook,
which is good for many laughs.
Mr.. Besser and Harry Seymour carry
the comedy end of the show, staging
their business with speed which causes
the show to move rapidly.
The second half Of the first act takes
place on submarine. A funny drill is
staged in this act. Miss Rose Allen has
her chance while singing Laughing
Namp" in this scene.
The second act, like the first, has two
scenes which are crowded with song
numbers. The first act Of Cute Cuties
is a speedy and clever Offering which
gives the principals and the chorus
enough TO do.
Cute CutIes'' remains at the Park
all week.
