Each song is a lovely picture. His
latest song is THE White House In
Washington and the White House in

sentimental lyrics. Here is an act
which would shine like a diamond in
any spot. A real treat.
Truly Shattuck and Emma O'Neil,
a very funny woman, are the chief
lawmakers on the bill. Miss O'NeiPs
hurnor is not OF the quiet order but 1t
convulsed the audience when I was
present. Miss Shattuck sings a
serious number well. This act will
drive any kind of blues away.
Marga Waldron, dancer, intro
duces a stunning staircase in her
dancing act. She Frances down this
stairway on her toes. She Is a gifted
dancer, but at times is too dramatic.
One dramatic number with lighter
ones added would help. George Hal
prin is at the piano.
Joe Laurie, Jr., relies upon some
mild chatter about his family to fill
his part of the program. 1t makes a

tame. Aileen Stanley is billed as THE

At the Park
r. Oh, Charlie! O-o-o-oh, Charlie.
Don't believe there is any one who
can say this like Billy Gilbert, star of
1.-The Radio Girls" at the Park this
week
Gilbert has played here many times
and has always been a favorite, but
now in a show with all smut elm
mated and surrounded with gorgeous
costumes and scenic effects, he is
more funny than ever. He doesn't
go in for cheap comedy and he
doesn't need to, for he is a real COM
edian. This is saying a whole lot,
but 1t is our opinion and we'll stick
TO It.
The plot concerns the principal of
boa riding school, who, with her girls.
charters a ship and sails for a re-
mote island presumably on on ed.
vocational expedition, but in reality
searching for pirate gold. There were
to be no men on board, as the prin-
cipal was a man-hater, but several
men make the trip. just the same, and
she fails in love with one and tells
him her secret. He, In turn. takes
his friends into his confidence and
when they reach the island, they, too,
search for the gold. o. Charlie finds
the gold, but also discovers a ghost

At the Broadway
The Broadway is housing another
repeat" show this week, and this
time it Is called Gimme Girls, AL in
Fun"
The show as it now stands is much
better than when 1t last appeared
here. There are more up-to-date songs
and considerable more pep" The
plot of the show is laid around the
inmates of an insane asylum, the CO.
medians acting as guards. One Of the
Inmates imagines she is in a western
dance hall, and this gives them chance
for a western comedy scene. Billy
Lewis is the featured comedian and
Charles Collins the second comic. Babe
Quinn, Leona Fox. Fern Waynes,
Henri Kellar and Tom Virgins are
the other principals of the cast.

sounded much better singly than in
unison. Mary Schroeder. who has
probably been with the organization
longer than any one else in the COM
pany, does little speciality.
The show this week is called Gee

MARKSMENA AIM
At DOUBLES TITLE
Shooting at Targets in Paris
Affords Thrills for Gunner
and Spectator
FEATURE OF BIG TOURNEY

Double target shooting has more
thrills for spectators than any other
style of smashing clay birds. Therc-
fore. 1t is expected that the gallery on
the Absecon Boulevard. Atlantic City,
N. j., will be very large on Tuesday,
Soptember II, the second day Of the
1922 Grand American clay target cham.
pionships. On this day both the ANA
teur and professional Championships at
double targets will be contested.
Another feature event which is ex.
pccted to interest the gallery is the
junior trapshooting championship. In
this event boys ranging in age from ten
to eighteen years will shoot at 100 single
targets to determine which Of the youths
is entitled to wear the trapshootins
crown.
IN double target shooting two clay
birds are sprung from the trap stimuli
tancously One flies to the right. the
other to the left. and the shooter Is per-
mitted two shots. one at each of the
targets.
This style Of shooting approximates
more nearly than any other the shooting
at birds in the field A skilled performer
can provide n thrill for the spectators
every time he shoots Mt a pair. for he
must be constantly on the alert to antic-
ipate the varying fight Of the targets
which may be caused by wind condi-
tions.
There arc n number of trapShooters
who, because Of the difficulties sur
rounding it. would rather win the
double target championship than any
other event on the Grand American
program
