A QUESTION OF COLOR

Some persons have a mistaken
notion regarding the color Of tea.
Color has nothing to do with tea
quality, either in the leaves or in
the brew,
But color is important when it
comes to selecting tea by the
label There's Yellow, for instance.
LIPTONS finest tea--the finest of
the worlds Gnest--is Upton Nel-
low Label brand,
The reason LIpTON'S Tea has
the largest sale in the world is not
because Upton grows more tea than
other tea planters nor because of
the color Of the labcl-but because
Upton grows better tea.

There IS a real vaudeville bill at
Keith's this week with tons of music,
plenty Of comedy, good singing and
clever dancing.
1.-THE Son Dodgers" headliner. has
all the essence of an elaborate COM
edy boiled down to one act, is beaud-
fully mounted and has special songs,
dances and some clever lines.
John E. Walker is the principal
Iaugh-maker. Richard De Mar, Lii
Ian Lester and Leda Enrol contribute
to the success of the piece. There
are four pretty ladies whom we would
like to call something other than
chorus girls, for they do more than
the usual chorus steps and wear
pretty costumes. They are an asset
to the act.
Seldom are limitations given as
clever as those of Kane and Grant
The little girls impression of Francis
White singing her famous puzzle
song. Round on the End and High in
the Middle was one of the cleverest
bits Of the whole show. Her youthful
male partner scored with a Frisco
dance. 1t was one Of the best imita-
lions of this famous dance we have
ever seen.
The jazz band seems to be the
ruling fad in vaudeville this season.
This time II is Dave Harris and his
syncopators. They stopped the show.
Clara Barry and Orville Whitledge
have a piano and song act that Is
clever.
Sam Lewis and Sam Dody in their
net Hello, Hello, Hello" offer an
imitation Of a ventriloquist and his
dummy that is one Of the .cleverest
novelties that we have seen in some

The theme of the show is based on
the troubles of hotel porter, who is

pranks of the proprietor's daughter.
She either has them falling down an
elevator shaft, rolling down a stair
way or some other ridiculous stunt.

Another Jazz Band

A Jazz band is again the feature

The Ten Seattle Harmony Kings
who headline the bill are different.
They lack nothing in harmony and
live up to their billing in that respect
They offer several novelties, among
them a colored jazz dancer. Jack Neill,
the conductor, and Gene Collins, the
dancer, are featured. The audience
was reluctant to let them go when
we saw the show.
Kay Neilan, a dainty little character
singer tied up the show with her
Scotch, "Wop" and Irish comedy
songs. Her Harry Lauder imitation Of
tits nice to get up in the morning"
was nicely done.
The act of Sophie and Harvey

And the Cello Talks

Ever hear a cello and a violin carry
on a conversation in English?
That is what is happening at the
Lyric this week while Coscia and
Verdi are on the stage. The cello
recites Mary Had a Little Lamb"
Coscia and Verdi are clever enter
tanners. They know how to play the
violin and the cello, and they know
how to clown" without offense. They
bring a dash of originality which cas-
lily makes them according to my way
of thinking) the outstanding feature
on the bill.
Two acts on the bill remind one of
the informal moments found in the
modern revue. In THE Stage Di-
rector" an author Of play takes the
audience into his confidence and
Jokes" the actors while they are
playing his sketch. OF course, the
acting is exaggerated to get the
laughs. It's rather a unique idea.
This same confidential spirit comes
into play during the headline act.
'Springtime Frivolities," during which
tn producer guess it is the pro-
ducer) tells the audience his plot has
been stolen. He introduces the cast
and they decide to improvise a plot as
they go along.
Homer Sisters sing and dance. They
dance better than they sing. The
Three Belmonts open the show with
hoop-throwing and the like. Scotty
Weston is a dancer. He has some well
executed steps. Weiser and Reiser
have noisy nonsense, both In CONVEX
