GOOD ACTS
ON GARRICK BILL

"A Pair OF Calves" featuring Vail
Harris and Juanita Cunningham, is
one of the best acts on the vaude-
willie bill at the Garrick Theatre for
the first three days of the week.
which opened this afternoon and
evening performances yesterday
The sketch Is written and staged by
Charles Grapewin, and deals mostly
in -the-minute jokes and also
includes one or two tuneful songs.
While the sketch is almost devoid
of any plot. still it Is entertaining
and original. The action takes place
on the main street of "Emptyville."
a small country town. Vail Harris
as Wilbur Jones is the typical hay
seed" and his facial expressions are
so good, one almost thinks he is not
made up at all.
Miss Jesse Reed In "Syncopated
Songs" is a musical act Of the first
variety. Miss Reed composes the
entire company Her method of
handling the latest song hits brought
her much applause. In an act OF
this kind the actors or actress's ef-
forts are much more appreciated.
since he or she must depend upon
their own initiative to win the audi

Jack Roof and girls appear IN a
new musical comedy. "All at Sea. -
Roof recently appeared at the Gar
rick in a comedy "On the Border "
which made a big hit. Considering
the fact that the act is new, and

may require a little touching up
here and there, It was creditably
presented last night. Unlike Roof
other comedy, there is little If any
plot to this one. But most Of the
jokes are new, and the singing and
dancing by the chorus Is good.
The Henodee Troupe, a quartet OF
clever japanese novelty creators,
presented some new and interest
ling acrobatic stunts. Some juggling
feats are done with tops, which defy
the laws of gravity in that they al
most spin in the air
Kennedy Brothers have a little
sketch that pleases. 1t is entitled
in "Our Southern Homestead" a
black face dialogue with laughs.
Norma Jane and company completes
the program with a dancing act.
Although the act Is not new, it
pleased yesterdays audiences.
May Allison In big Game" is the
photoplay part of the bill This is a
good picture and is adapted from
the Broadway stage success of the
same name. A pleasing part of the
play Is that It has lots of action.
Although there is kiss or two. long
sob scenes are conspicuous by their
absence. The play starts out IN the
sunny south, and ends with lots OF
action in the frozen north.
