CAPITOL
"MOnte Carlo Girls"

ONE Of burlesaue's most popu-
lar attractions, the Monte
Carlo Girls" will open a weeks
engagement at the Capitol Theater
today. Thomas Sullivan. producer
Of high class burlesque and musi-
cal comedies, is responsible for
the production, which is said to
surpass in every way the show
which bore the same name last
season.
While q few Of the Monte Carlo
veteran principals are members
OF the 1922 attraction, the cast
for the most part is new. Miss
Sarah Hyatt, one OF burlesque's
most beautifully gowned and
talented prima donnas, and Arthur
tanning, generally conceded to
be burlesque's most forceful
straight man, are among those
principals who have been identi-
fled with Sullivan attractions in
the past. Jessie Mcdonald, a
soubrette, and Hazel Dawn, late
Of the New York Winter Garden
show, are new acquisitions, as are
Lew Marshall, James Raymond
and Johnny Hudgins, comedians.
The show this season is said to
be beautifully gowned and all Of
the scenery is new. As a whole it
is declared to be a much stronger
show than that Of last season.

GAYETY
Keep Smiling'

A REAL theatrical treat is
promised in James E. Cooper's
Keep Smiling" which opens at
the Gayety Theater this afternoon
for a weeks engagement. This
delightful show for many seasons
has been the leading and best show
to play the Columbia circuit. This
season a new offering is given with
Keep Smiling" and, as in past
seasons, has achieved a big hit.
Bert Lair and Harry Kay, who
are co-starred, are great favorltes
and regarded by many as two OF
the best comedians on the present
day burlesque stage. Owing to
their success with Cooper's shows
last year, these comedians have
been persuaded to sign a five-year
contract with the company.
Everything with Keep Smiling"
Ia absolutely new from start to fin
ish, including a big surprise scene
In the Land of the Worship"
This scene is one Of the most elab-
crate ever presented in burlesque.
There is also a wealth Of music and
pretty songs, uproarious costumes
and gorgeous scenery. The drol'
leries of the book and tuneful melo-
dies are by William X. Wells,
which in itself is enough to make
this one Of the musical treats of
the season.
Supporting Lehr and Kay are
Adele Ferguson. a famous prima
donna of many Broadway suo
cesses; Mercedis La Fay. one Of the
cleverest soubrettes on the circuit;
Emily Dyer, known as the shapeli-
est girl on the burlesque stage; the
Three Jolly Bachelors. harmony
singers, and Charles Wesson.
Then there are some Of the niftiest
and prettiest chorus girls In the
show business, whose singing and
dancing are far above the average

entitled, "a Courtroom In the Be-

the show Is 1.-THE Last Dance"
done by Gretchen Eastman and
Donald Kerr; and very amusing Is
the travesty on this Last Dance
in which Joe E. Brown and Cor
don Wooley appear.
One Of the artistic contributions
is in the transformation scene.
when Dreams Come True" This
was originated and designed by
Nicholas V. de Lipskey, young
Russia artist. The first act shows
an interior of a modern ballroom.
In the fraction of a second this
ballroom turns into a garden with
a Temple of Love in the back
ground, and with the garden
bathed in moonlight. Not a scene
is shifted or a curtain lowered to
secure this transformation.
A gay and gladstone act Is the
Greenwich Village Follies fair.
One of the features in this scene
is the dancing designed by Joe f.
Brown. Mr.. Brown not only
dances on the stage, but off the
stage into the orchestra pit, and,
without loss Of his step. dances
back again on the stage. Wash
ingtonians will be pleased to know
that Ted Lewis and his famous
Jazz band will be one OF the
features.
Outstanding scenes in the second
act are the beautiful reminiscent
melody, "A Young Mans Fancy"
often called the music-box number,
and generally said to be the most
beautiful thing John Murray
Anderson has ever staged. The
Beardsley Figures, in black and
white, with the House That Jack
Built, make a merry finale.

The story tells Of tho essentially

Of those things. which belong. to

undoing Of the older stock.
Bad blood between them II long

cause Of war is the ruthless ovic-
ton of the Jackmans, an old couple
of the Hillcrist tenantry, whose
lifelong security in their little
cottage had solemnly been promiscd
by old Hornblower when he bought
that strip Of the Hillcrist land. In
defense Of these helpless depend

Hillcrists declare war. There fol-
