When the curtain dropped on ~

steal revue. featuring Billy Allen. the
popular Irish comedian, this weeks

had just witnessed one of the best
vaudeville acts that has come this
way in long time. The action Of

who Is prevailed upon by a scheming
friend to pose as a king and to marry
a countess, who will have none other
than king, in order that her great
fortune may be annexed. affords the
players the opportunity to get in SOME
fine comedy work. That they do No:
overlook their opportunities was at
tested to by the almost continuous
laughter which greeted their efforts.
Other bright and interesting feat

beautiful scenic and lighting effects,
were a series of living art studies. the
singing of The Three Pals" Messrs.

surfeited with a season of more or
less Indifferent musical productions.
The thirty third annual production
of the Mask and Wig Club. Some
body's Lion" brought back memories
CT the days when musical plays were
musical plays and not melange OF
jazz and shoulder shaking.
With a book. by Ed Lavino, that 10
dIverting, and at times flashing with
wit. and never duh, "Someoodys
Lion" gets a good start. Added to
this are the tuneful music and clever
lyrics by Charles Gilpin, who has
been furnishing musical hits for Mask
and Wiggers for more years than
uDy undergraduate can remember
But to top the success OF the produc-
ton Is the dancing. Charles s. Nor
gan. Dr., who produces the Mask and
Wig production. Is looked upon by
some ambitious but languid under
cIassmen as a martinez, but the dane
ing numbers which he has produced
show the effect Of discipline and earn
est training. and no dancing chorus
Gu the boards this season, unless 1t
he the London Palace girls with Fred
stone. have contributed better dane
ing ensembles. The Russian number
at the close of the first act. the
Dance of Dawn" and the Mirror
Dance" were the terpsichorean tidbits
which won the greatest favor during
all evening of corking dancing.
OF course, there is a story and a
plot. more plot than one hnds in many
musical plays, but these are but a
warp into which Is woven delight
OF music and dance.
w. l.. Clark. jr., who appeared as
Leo" the lion. and also as a cabaret
entertainer. stands out as the star OF
the production. j. II. Hoffs of the
class of 30. filled his stays and the
leading feminine role to satisfaction,
az he has previously done. c. Il. Cane
made a bewitching "Nanipe," dash
ing blonde with a strong tenor voice.
ard y. b. Hartenstein as "Zula-" a
cannibal vamp, attired in shredded
v heat, qualified for leading honors.
Rex Wray, who has had a busy sea-
son in athletics, handled his part as
we'll as he did punts and forward
passes last fall. Others OF the cast
were more than satisfactory. For the
btneft of the audience II might not
be bad idea for the Mask and Wig
to number the chorus as football
players are numbered In order that
Individual plays might be credited.
"Zula, My Little Zula." Love viii
Find Way OF Its Own" and I'm a
Whaler OF a Sailor" are the musical
h is that are being whistled on Chest
nut street, and they are bound to ind
favor in the National Capital as well.

B. F. KEITH'S
Santos and Hayes Revue

Santos and Hayes. long favorites in
vaudeville, returned to Washington
yesterday with something new. At
B. +. Keith's Theater yesterday they
presented their revue, with very
capable company and for nifty min
utes amused a capacity audience. The
revue is lavishly staged and in ad-
dition of Jacque Hayes and Buster
Santos, there is enough talent to start
three other vaudeville acts. Bobbie
Tremaine was especially clever and
graceful in the dancing numbers as
was Will HigHie. while Saul Marshall
was a good foil to both the comedy
and music.
Percy Bronson and Winnie Baldwin
presented visions of what may happen
in 1870. They have invested their act
with a lavish amount OF scenery
which did much 10 put IL over
Joe Jackson. the tramp comedian was
a valuable addition to the bill. He
still ride< a bicycle with his funny
antics. Lester Crawford and Helene
Broderick presented a sidewalk talk
that was clever. while McLoud and
Norman entertained with a musical
speciality Carson and willard have a
novelty in their comedy act, Meet
the Doctor" while the Burns Broth
ers and Page, Hack and Mack con-
tribute acrobatic acts. The usual
Topics of the Day and Psthe News
Pictorial complete the bill.

The Washington times., 1921-05-24

Giving all due credit to the efforts
of it's progenitors to provide effectlve
entertainment and incidentally m
ting vehicle for the talents or MISS
Irene Fenwick. one can scarcely heip
reaching any other conclusion than
that "Zizi," as a farcical comedy. It's
self-imposed description, Is something
of a lightweight. True, II Is stiil
young ana may. perhaps. with the AID
of unusual emergency treatment In
GLIDING the injunction OF liberal hypo-
dermics OF really humorous lines, sur
vive to the extent OF becoming MOD
erately amusing production.
Perhaps you may dfferentiate In
YOUR djfinitioI OF farce as distinguish
ed from "farcical comedy" certainly
the former term does not properly APP
ply to "Zizi." Its action Is not rapio
enough. while its obvious machinery
Is probably in need OF oilins.
The story OF "Zizi' begins the DAY
after the wedding Of James Borden,
product of New England's nshing
canes who has amassed TIDY fortune
through sardines canneries, ana
Geraldine. one of New York's penuri-
Gus blue bioods. with the sudden re-
turn of the couple from their money
moon. Geraldine, welded but no
wife, discovers Immediately after the
ceremony that Borden lacks sa'oir
faire: Il seems that he insisted on
removing his collar In the interest,"

the bridal suite. She confesses that
she married him only because mother
insisted that their financial affairs
made IL imperative and that her affec-
lions really were conferred in Douglas
Hamilton. q composer OF music and
lyrics for popular Broadway hits,
whom she described as a genius, but
with whom a marriage was prevented
by the same old financial question.
They summon to their aid a mutual
friend, DE- Crawford, who decides a
divorce is necessary. and Bordan gen.
erously consents to provide the
evidence. But the latter. being
strictly a business man. has had no
experience in love-making and so
they decide to employ a suitable CO.
respondent. Whereupon, Zizi comes
upon the scene.
Zizi. short for Lizzie Carroll, a rec
ent graduate from the chorus to
speaking parts" is the niece OF Mrs.
MCGEE, Borden's hous,t eeper. and is
very well informed. up-to-the-
moment. individual She consents
for a consideration-to enter into the
plot and provide the evidence. In
cidentally. IL is decided to bring
Hamilton. Mrs. Borden's genius" to
the scene. for the real purpose of dis
gushing 'not iooy Win Ms CONCERT
and inanities.
Their plays progress moderately
well. but 1t happens that all three
OF the leading male characters sue
cessively find Zizi an attraction and
are successfully discovered In the act
of embracing her.
Now the logical outcome of these
entangled situations in the conven-
tional fares wonld have meant a re-
Cancellation between the husband and
wife. a romance between Zizi and the
doctor, and the Punishment OF the
foppish Hamilton. But the authors
scorn such obvious conclusions. As
they have II, Mrs. Borden elopes to
Reno with Hamilton. with the under
standing that after the proper lapse
OF time. a divorce will lbe obtained
and they will marry; the doctor is re-
fused by Zizi. and Borden proposes
and is accepted by the lady-subject
Of course, to the subsequent action OF
the divorce mill. Little things like
the sanctity OF the marriage rite on
the basis of "till death DO us part
have little weight in farcical com
edies.
Irene Fenwick. OF course, does quite
all that is expected Of her. but the
spectator has the feeling that, after
all. it's a rather sorry vehicle. Louis
Pennison. late OF the flms. we be-
lieve does the best that he can with
a character that is socrcely reall
which might also be sal dof the rest
of the cast.
Let's hope that the theater-surgeon
gets busy at once and performs the
major operation that Is essential to
Z.zfs survival.

"The Chimes" is filled with spirited
waltz melodies. Foremost in the
Washingtonians' performance stands
out the large and excellent chorus
who sing this tuneful score with en-
thusiasm and with an admirable unity.
They make for bright scenes. for pic
lures with good costuming. particu-
larly the final minuet scene that was
very effective.
EstelIe Murray as Serpoletta last
evening was a delightful hoyden in
her little Bingham apron of the open
ing scene. and she was picturesque.
besides giving her songs with pro-
fcssional ease. Ruth Peter as Ger
maine again proved her growth In
voice and in the ability to effectively
tell a story through song
Harry , Stevens tenor voice Is
lyrically lovely. and he made the
music of the fisherman a dominant
part Nof the score, while Raymond
Moore as the marquis also sang well
and completed a good quartette.
1.-THE Chimes" Is difficult opera
because OF its long comedy parts Of
drama. 1t taxes a youthful organiza-
ton somewhat too heavily, for the
sustaining OF nonsense Is very
finished art. But the Washington
ians have revived an opera that SENDS
one away humming it's melodies. an
has brought opportunity to group
of local singers who justify the work
of their director, Rollin Bond. IN
making the community musical.
