BELASCQ-JohnnY DooleY.

The Shubert-Belasco this week offers
three attractions assigned to top-line
honors. and the bill, as whole. is
good.
Johnny Dooley, big new New York
favorite. is probably the best of the
show. as he has always something new
to offer and is comedian of original
ity and intelligence. During the after
Moons performance. Johnny injured his
foot, which compelled him to cut down
his grotesque dancing, but afterward
he tumbled about the stage in his
usual funny manner and danced his
classic number to great applause.
He introduces a real horse that rivals
"Snuffies" in looks, and he falls from
It's back with laughing regularity.
Johnny has the Madison Sisters to as
sist him in his little dancing revue.

show their dancing ability, their physi-
cal charms are feature.

from London, because, it is said, of the
great ue..Idnu Ior vaudeville arusts. re-
peated the triumph she achieved before
bidding goodbye for the other side.
Miss White is good to look upon and
has highly pleasing voice for her
songs, all of which were received with
great applause. Clay Smith helps at
the piano.
Scibilia & Brooks present South
American company in dances and
songs, assisted by Harry Ormonde.
The woman dancers are unusually
c.ever, and a native dance by Roberto
Medrano and Emilia Delirio made
something of a sensation Mr.. Or
monde is also a clever dancer and helps
the act much with his "funnyisms." A
native orchestra of four pieces is an
attractive feature of the act.
The Leach Walling Trio open the
bill with a clever wire-balancing and
iron-jaw act Marie Stoddard, the
vocal gynnast," scored her usual hit;
the Gaudsmiths and dogs are enter
tanning tumblers and balancers; Deiro
was called out dozen times for his
accordion playing; kranz and White
sing popular songs and tell funny
jokes, and Lucy Gillett winds up the
show with sensational juggling stunt
that should have been further up on
the program.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 2-Wall
Street views the passing of 1921 with
few regrets, but looks hopefully to
the future, although realizing that
the new year will put the country to
even a greater test of its resources
and stability.
Leaders of industry and finance
emphasize their belief that return to
normal conditions cannot be accom-
plished until everybody settles down
to earnest work. economy and saving.
For the most part, however, those
who hold the purse strings and con-
troll the countrys important industrial
enterprises believe that the United
States is destined to grow as a world
power
Europe Looking to U. 8.
This belief is largely founded on
the fact that Europe is leaning more
heavily upon this market All foreign
nations, it is pointed out, look to
the United States as almost the only
market for the capital needed to
effect the rehabilitation of the old
world.
The latest case in point is that of
the Dutch government. which only
yesterday awarded $40,000,000 or 40
bankers, the proceeds to be used In
it's far eastern colonies.
Forecasts of general business con-
ditions in 1922 are unusually difficult,
in the opinion of conservative OBJ
servers, because of the many uncer-
tainties which >beset the era of
readjustment and reconstruction.

The story concerns the son of a
prominent lawyer. who rather than
lead the proSaic life mapped out for
him by his father dicides to follow
the insistent calling of art. This de-
cision leads him into many exciting
adventures, which are chiefly due to
his inability to pay rent. After be-

pathetic landlady, the would-be art

roof. During the course of his wan
derings over the neighboring roofs,
he encounters other roof-dwellers
and rent freers'' and as one partic-
ular roof dweller happens to be a
beautiful young girl who has been
cut out of her Inheritance by a
Scheming stepmother, the sympathies
OF the artist are Immediately aroused.
OF course, in the end a new will is
found leaving two-thirds of the
estate to the beautiful young girl. and
naturally Wallie and the girl, Lila
Lee, will live rent free" the rest of
their lives, in the picture, if not in
her fathers house.

that it represents by far the best
work Harold Lloyd has yet contrib

There is no questioning that it pre-.
sents several original and most in
genious comedy situations. and GER
tainly no picture of Mr.. Lloyd's has
ever afforded more fun than when he
makes his series OF attempts at suicide
Many thrills as well as laughs accom-
pany these situations. The action of
a greater part of the farce takes
place in an upper story of a sky
scraper. The respondent Harold is
intent upon ending his life because
ne thinks the lady of his heart is
in love with some one else. He is lift
I'd from his seat by a girder to be
hoisted to an adjoining building. and
is ridden through the window and

pended at dizzy heights.
