manded all around. After this is over
the young man, inspecting the low-cut
dresses again, decides he is no longer
bashful.
That is the plot and it is carried out
in a perfectly frank fashion without any
regard for any oversensitive persons who
are in the audience. 1t might be more
entertaining if there were anything clever
or witty about the lines, but there is not.
Walter Jones, John Arthur and Ed
ward Douglas as the three men marooned
In the Turkish bath, strive nightly to
please, but they do not have great deal
to work with. There is nothing I'M
usual one way or the other about the
remainder of the cast.

MELODY BURGLARS STEAL
INTO YOUR HEART AT KEITH's.
Bill Bailey and his banjo, Lynn Cowan
with his saxophone and piano and Es-
telle Davis and her saxophone steal right
into your heart at Keith's this week.
where they are breaking" into a music
store.
Oh, it's a grand and glorious burglary
because the three ooze melody all over
the theater Bailey and Cowan first APP
pear with pocket flashlights and inform
those present that they are about to
break into a music store. They succeed
and then they want a woman in their
act. They decide to break into the shop
of a modiste. They do and a pretty miss
steps out of the show window.
Then the three start an act of genuine
merit, complete abandonment figures in
the production of melody and before you
play "jazz" and the "blues" melody as
such things should be played. Tuck
Me Awr In My Old Kentucky Home"
may not be a classic in English compost
ton, but it has a swing-such a jazzy
swing. They also have an Indian song
travesty which is little gem, made so
by the way Cowan and Bailey, assisted
by Miss Davis, put it over. Everything
that this trio does is SO individual that
you decide then and there that they must
be regular visitors to the local Keith
house each year. Vaudeville needs more
acts Of this nature. They stole for
me yesterday many pounds Of melody
They will steal tons for you, If you ask
them. A mighty good act The audience
said so yesterday. So we all agree. 1t
is wen worth while going to Keith's this
week TO hear this act alone.
Lew Doekstader is back again with a
new line Of jokes. This year he is in
Producing the wireless telephone" Such
phone is attached to a mans vest and
q high bat acts az a telephone pole. Lew
calls up the White House and talks with
Warren" about the income tax and the
like. Lew puts over his line OF chatter
as only this man can do He remains
the head Of the list in this class Of en-
tertainment
The Ford Dancers were billed at the
last minute to substitute for the Goldin
act, which was unable to play here this
week. This dancing act is Of recognized
headline quality. They dance we'll to-
gether and their solo work is exception
ally good The various stage sets used
are elaborate and pleasing
The audience yesterday decided that
Jean Granese, assisted by her brother
Charlie, was a good act, judging by the
applause. As I am in the minority, l will
yield to the judgment of the audience.
Reynolds Donegan company present a
hunter Of skating dances In a finished
manner. They held the house in its seats
yesterday, and that is a big job, because
