 Goes With a Snap

. The initial performance of "The Jollies of 1921," presented by the 2 Shriners of Zamora temple at the , Jefferson theatre last night, was greeted with large and enthusiastic audience. From the time the curtain went up on "Minstrelandp until the . grand finale in the Land of Gazook, . there was not a dull minute in the . entertainment.
 As interlocutor, Ernest Matthews was . all to be desired, the entire chorus was excellent, while the jokes on local Shrlners brought forth much applause
 Individual laurels were hard to confer when it comes to the end men who were Albert A. Stern, Willard Drake Woolsey Jones, Abe H. Williams Earl Ford, Roy Summers, William Scholl and Rolla T.. Beck. Each one was exceptionally clev- CT in his own inimitable style in the singing and dancing as well as the tell inS of jokes. However, Albert Stern probably made the greatest hit of the evening with the singing of Sweet Mama, Tree-Top Tall" and he was forced to respond many times.
 That Old Irish Mother of Mine" sang by R. H. Shaddck, was received with enthusiasm, as was "Old Pal Why Don't You Answer Me-" rendered by w. C. Moran. These were the only two bal s lads on the programme and the har- monists joined nl the chorus, making them very effective.
 The Inside Inn," musical comedy in two parts, was well staged and well acted. Rolla E. Beck made splendid bell boy, while Grace Casmus as Trixie, was an excellent stenographer and kept time with her typewriter by chewing gum Elise Sparrow as the village gos- sip, played her part well and showed remarka ble talent.
 Percy Rosenberger was very clever in the role of Archibald Doolttle. an eff feminate hotel clerk and handled rep artee with the bell boy, porter and guests in good style. Roy Summers as Wiln B. Dunn, a theatrical manager, bert Stern as Jazz, a porter, take high honors.
 HE'S ME KIDDO
 Miss Margaret Simmons as Vivette, a seemingly French maid, was excellent and her rendition of He's Me Kiddo,' assisted by MT. Beck, was well received Members of the Dunn theatrical troupe were well trained and the chorus was we'll balanced. They are: Misses Naomi Jaffee, Elizabeth Salter, Etoile Massey, Vivian Trechsel, Lucy Crow, Rosabelle Zbl1 Bernice Lea and Sara Stevenson; MeSSrS- EIWyn SODDSs A. U. f1arrlS LUCK Ball, H. c. Rosenberg, Dan Walker, An drew zwald. W. P. Hickman and c. A. Thornton.
 The Bowery dancing by this chorus in He's Me Kddo," brought down the house and they were required to respond to several encores. Miss Marguerite smith made a decided hit in "Peachee" and was assisted by Misses Mary Emma Strong, Maxine Shortridge, Florence Turner, Marie Strong, Sadie Moorer, Ha- gel Allen Rosamond Thornton, Amanda Parker, Mary Fain Lunsford and Helen Ball, who left nothing to be desired when it comes to pep. This number was especially featured by little Miss Chris tibelle Powell, who sang the chorus from the upper box on the left Although quite small, she has lovely little voice and was given an ovation.
 DIFFERENT THINGS
 Charles and Grace Casmus in Differ ent Things Done Differently" made a decided hit. Both of them are unusually clever and had the appearance of pro- fessionals. The yodelling by Mrs. Cas- mus and the reading, She Waits For Me-" by MT. Casmus, were far above the average.
 pr. J. G. Vance made splendid King of Gazook, while E. L. McClendon as Queen was very good. Elwyn Cobbs. the court attendant, deserves creditable mention and Miss Florence Turner. the
