Shuberts Open
"Vaude" Season
At the BeIaSco

oHUBERT vaudeville yesterday
Sbegan it's second local season
at the Belasco. with Jimmy
Hussey as the principal. about
whom the unit show is built. Hug
sey 10 as good as ever, and better
than ever where he has new mate
rial to work with, but the show
itself is not yet "set," and some
changes win be necessary before It
is finally whipped into shape. 1t
is one of the disadvantages Of the
unit-type entertainment that for
the first few weeks OF the season
the units win be in an experimental
stage. but Hussey and his asso-
ciates are working on their show
pretty vigorously and will probably
make It a much more effective
vehicle shortly.
Hussey is one Of the best de-
lineators Of Jewish types in the
country, comparing in. this respect
with such real topnotchers as Fan
ME Brice. He has some new songs
that went over splendidly. but too
much of his material has been seen
here before. The bedroom farce
burlesque, for example, was Q part
Of q revue in which Hussey played
here two seasons ago.
Libby and Sparrow, who made
quite q stir on the Shubert time
last season, Joined the show here
yesterday with a hrand-new and
peppy dancing act. which Is feac
tured by some remarkable imita-
tons Of Frisco, Pavlowa and other
famous dancers. They close with
q classical dancers idea Of a prize
fight, one OF the funniest bits OF
travesty in the show.
Harry Hines, ''the fifty-eighth
variety" James b. Carson, Eddie
Russell, Ethel Maeder and a num-
Der Of others appear as principals
in the revue afterpiece. There Is
plenty OF talent. but the book needs
revision in the interest OF comedy
and smoothness. One might judge.
also. from this particular show.
that there IL a chorus-girl famine
in New York, for the ladies Of the
ensemble are not up to standard.
They appear at their best In the
black and white costumes used in
the final scenes of the revue.
which. esthetically. are the most
pleasing episodes Of the entire per-
Torrance.
Matty White and Morton Beck
put over their songs well as the
second act on the vandcville bill.
which is opened by Anna Propp
and Georgie Stone with a dancing
act. Carson appears in a travesty

English Sparrow
Fast Becoming
Extinct
By Universal service.

The English sparrow, bane
of our forefathers' existence,
cannot stand the pace Of 1922
and Is becoming extinct, the
Biological Survey announced to-
today.
The insanitary conditions
upon which he thrived have
been eliminated to such an ex-
tent that in many cities the
sparrow Is seldom seen. He
migrated to the country, but
has failed to prosper and his
days are numbered, 1t 10 stated.
In the place Of this once
universal bird there is a great
increase in cities and In the
country Of the more beautiful
songsters and utilitarian insect

comes involved with a million

Interpretation Of the difficult part

Second Ingram
Masterpiece at
LOew's Columbia

r oEw's COLUMBIA THEATER
Ia seems determined TO Guido
its own splendid record for
presenting. week after week. pro-
ductions Of the first magnitude
and screen interest. 1t seemed, for
time last week. that the Columbia
had reached It's limit with the
presentation OF Rodolph Valentino
in Blood and Sand" by v. Blasco
Ibanez, but now comes another
and possibly better story. It is. In
fact, nothing less than the screen
version Of Anthony Hopes famous
romantic classic. '.The Prisoner OF
Zenda," which has been adapted
by Rex Ingram. The picture be-
gan an extended engagement at
Loew's Columbia yesterday utter
noon.
The cast, aside from the story
itself, Ii probably Of the greatest
interest. Producer Ingram ap-
parently spared no expense in this
direction for he has gone forth and
marshaled a brilliant cast. The
beautiful Alice Terry, remembered
for her work In THE Four Horse
men Of the Apocalypse" mas the
role of a royal heroine, while
Lewis Stone, Barbara La Marr,
stuart Holmes, Ramon Navarro,
Robert Edeson, and many others
bring forth conviction and reality

really classic Of romantic fiction.
The Prisoner OF Zenda," Incl
dentally, constitutes the first
really big production that Ingram
has made since he finished THE
Four Horsemen."
The picture, which is Metro
production. tells the story OF
a young Englishman touring
through the Central European
kingdom Of Rumania. whose re-
markable likeness to the reigning
monarch causes him TO be sin
gled out to impersonate the real
monarch, who has been spirited
away by an unscrupulous broth.

The story not only tells how this
young Englishman actually be-
came king. was crowned and re-
ceived allegiance, but how the
same young Englishman met.
loved and was loved by a princess
of the blood whom he later set
forth to win in earnest.
The featutG film has been sup
plemented with certain screen
and musical attractions Of inter

itself is a picture that needs no
embellishment.

LOEW'S PALACE
"The S. Baby"

CLEARLY one Of the most de-
lightful screen offerings Of the
year is The IS Baby" the latest
starring production for the demure
and vivacious Viola Dana, the
Metro star, who opened a screen
engagement OF one week at
Loew's Palace Theater yesterday
afternoon. The tale Is based. in
cidentally, on Irwin S. Cobb's
Saturday Evening Post story and
offers Miss Dana one of the most
charming of all her recent star
ring pictures.
The S. Baby" was adapted by
Rex Taylor, while Harry Beau
mont directed. The story has its
setting in New York's Ghetto. II
abounds in colorful atmosphere
and It's characters are faithful
portrayals of East Side types. Miss
Dana herself appears in a char
acterization that Is absolutely
unique In a role that affords her
more than her customary oppor-
tunity for joyous comedy.
The story reveals what hap.
pened when a hobo finds an aban-
doned infant on a doorstep and
pawns It for IS, and what happens
is the nub Of a picture well worth
seeing.
The management Of Loew's
Palace has supplemented show
ings of The 50 Baby" with
splendid array Of added screen
and musical features, including

We would say that except for

virility the character demands.
This defect, while very i'm
portant in indexing the entire
play. is also trivial enough to
be remedied in one rehearsal.
Otherwise Palmer is something
OF a treat.
