yesterday was a very orderly affair and
not entirely unexpected. There were two

traders to push the market higher by
boosting favorite stocks. such as Bald

who tried the trick had their efforts
for their pains. Losses registered dur

BELASCO.


Japan, represented by Tameo
Kajiyama and Sensational Togo,
stepped to the fore at the BeIasco
Theater in the Shubert vaudeville
presentation for this week.
The Oriental representatives claim
their position through cleverness
and thrill-producing antics, but for
comedy-the kind that makes the
audience forget its troubles-the
honors deservedly go to Bert Clark
and Flavia Arcaro.
The other acts included in tho bill
are entertaining.
Tameo Kajiyama, billed as the
Japanese handwriting genius and
exponent of mental simultanism,
blasted the theory that a woman's
tongue is the nearest thing to per-
petual motion by demonstrating
that a man can talk even faster and
at the same time record sentences,
quotations and proper names on a
blackboard with lightning rapidity.
Writing a name backward. upside
down or from any other angle is
apparently a simple matter. AT
least II did not seem difficult for the
little Japanese. His act is novel
and quite different from the usual
vaudeville presentations.
For thrills, Sensation Togo has
the stage to himself After walk
ing to the second balcony via a
slender rope stretched above the
heads of the audience, Togo does
back slide onto the stage.

BY EARLE DORSEY.

For a heeting lnterNal at the
Garrick last night 1t looked like
the railroad strike was over.
For one brief moment it seemed
as though Thespis would triumph
over diplomacy and adduce a
nanacea for the ills OF union labor.
The moment passed. however, and
with II passed the remedy. A
playwright lost the thread of his
story and the railroad strike still
impends.
Ernest Hutchinson, an English
playwright now flying the Richard
walton Tully colors, started out to
demonstrate that the right to strike
is universal, common alike to tin
roofers and fortune tellers, and
that a frst-class counter-walkout
by the medical folks would kill on
| in one treatment the best strike
ever organized. Somewhere In the
third act, though, Hutchinson lost
his nerve. His doctors got cold
feet. The story was never told
Instead of a compelling thesis, one
stumbled out in a blaze OF U. 5. r
hokum.
The idea has tremendous possl-
blllties, granted the story Is told
In full. Tully's playwright gets
half way through, casts moonish
eye around and decides that doctors
better stay doctors and not become
strike breakers. So the call OF

In its present FORM of course, the
thing is second-rate melodrams

improvised motor service. and a
young doctor is killed. Straight
way his colleagues, led by one young
firebrand, rise up and declare a
medical counter strike that will re-
fuse medical aid to strikers, all anc
sundry.
Here is where Hutchinson reache;
his high point. Here looms the
prospect of a story that promises
novelty to a jaded theater. Here
however, is where the story ends
