sYBIL vANE SINGS HERSELF
INTO FAVOR AT b. f. KEITH'S.

Sometimes the unusual happens, even
in vaudeville
A singer of grand opera stopped the
current show at Keith's at the Monday
matinee Her name is Sybil Vane and
her triumph is more remarkable because
this is her first visit to Indianapolis.
There are several reasons why Sybil
Vane made such a pronounced and sin
cere Impression yesterday afternoon. In
the first place, She has no grand opera
airs about her. She first appears In a
pretty, old fashioned dress, aud the sec
ond her voice is used. every one in the
audience realizes that she has a voice
Of remarkable clearnesS and range.
Again, she pronounces every word as
clearly as II she were only talking. After
singing several lighter numbers she has
her audience educated for the one grand
opera selection on her program. She
YVES forced to sing an encore, and when
she had finished with Nanny" her
victory was complete.
Her pianist. Leon Domque, is by far
the most finished exponent or the plano
seen at Kelth's this season. His triumph
was as a complete as that of the singer.
Miss Vane thanked her audience for the
reception which touched her heart and
we all knew that she was as happy as
a schoolgirl over her triumph. TO miss
this singer Is to pass up one OF the
finest offerings that modern vaudeville
has to offer.
The current bin ut Keith's viii appeal
to those who like melody, comedy, girls
and dancing. AL Jerome opens the bill
under the title Of THE Silent Fool"
Fred and Marjorie Dale have some dainty
patter Eaxophone music and some more
melody.
There is let of noise about the offer
ing Of Arthur McWatters and Grace
Tyson during the presentation Of Eyes
Of Vaudeville" but their noise is so
original that the audience made regular
favorites out fthem. Mr. McWatters,
little dramatic patter about his first
son" is a gem. Jack Cahill and Don
Romine have more noise and the audience
aided them in the general disturbance.
Everybody appeared to be happy while
they we're on the stage. The La France

MARGUERITE CLARK APPEARS
IN A MOVIE AT RIAITO

Only those who know Marguerite Clark
intimately can understand what a good
time she had recently in New Orleans
while taking a vacation. She has always
been working since she was a very little
girl. She never thought of going out to
parties or restaurants. 1t was always
'early to bed and early to rise" for Mar
guerite. She often said, I just have to
go to bed or l couldn't do my work"
So it happened that Marguerite was like
Cinderella, who wanted to go to the ball
and couldn't until her GOdmOther-Fate
waved her wand, and 10! during her
vacation, after the completion of ''Scram
bled Wives" she actually attended her
first ball!
Marguerite has many pets, a chicken
farm, kennel of police dogs, and two
deer.
Marguerite is the current offering in
the movie part of the bill at the Rialto
and the movie is Scrambled Wives"

LITTLE LORD ROBERTS
HEADS LOEW's BILL.

Santa Claus is slightly out Of season,
but nevertheless he is over at the Loew's
State Theater this week. pack Of toys
and ALL and he brings from his mys
terious sack drums, whistles, balls and
last but not least a huge doll, dressed
in blue silk, that to the delight of the
little folk in the audience walked and
talked and danced n everything, which
proved to be none other than the famous
diminutiye star. little Lord Roberts. The
tiny artist does a variety of clever i'm
presentations and dances, looking every
inch a yamp in gold, satin draped gown
and spit curls as well as a cocky sport
in masculine attire. His act is unusual
and entertaining,
The vaudeville as a whole is amusing
and includes a laugh inducing skit, THE
New Blacksmith" billed as white, Black
and Useless" in which a small, active
mule puts "kick' into Jordan and Tyler,
negro entertainers, who, with violin and
piano, put over some "peppy' musical
numbers Harry Ward and Harriet Ray
mond in their skit, Hello" dance a bit
sing a bit and talk a lot. There are
other acts.
without Limit" is the movie feature
on the current bill at Loew's State. This
movie demands some serious considera-
| ton because it was made from q short
story by Calvin Johnston, which was
published in the Saturday Evening Post
some months ago. AS a story under the
I title Of Temple Dusk" it commanded
much attention.
The story concerns a minister's son
who, in a drunken revel. marrIes a chorus
girl, who In spite of being one of a wild
party, IS good, and with the gambling
fever burning in his veins, the boy raises
q check loaned him by a friend The
boy runs away from facing disgrace and
the girl who has stood by him, is sup
ported by the boys father, but becomes
tired Of being cramped for money. and
turns to the wealthy clubman whose
check her husband raised for his waiting
assistance. The strongest character in
the play is the philosophical owner of
the huge gambling house, who interests
himself in the two young people. The
four players, together with the boys
father, are the central figures in a Sc
ries of intricate episodes.
Charles Lane appears as the gambler
and Anna O. Nilsson is seen as the girl.
The work Of both is well done. Others
in the cast are more than satisfactory.
