THE PASSING SHOW" ABOUNDS IN COMEDY AND TUNEFUL MUSIC.

"The Passing Show" at the Jef- ferson theatre, has two first-rate comedians in Sam Howard and Will Philbrick who provide plenty of com edy; long series of musical num- bers, that are beautifully staged, and hodge-pcdge of entertainment such as usually characterizes the revues, Howard has keen wit and brisk style that enables him to present some clever and sprightly sketches. In spite Of the fact that he has much to do, he does not become tiresome.
 large and capable company sur rounds the principals and in the elab- crate presentation of the song num- bers some very artistic effects are achieved road show is seldom seen that is mounted in more lavish style. The costumes are not only rich and varied, but they look almost as new If they were being worn for the first time, which is not often the case with travelling organizations. Pictorially 'The Passing Show" this year is delight to the eye.
 Among the principals who dlstin- guished themselves. in addition to two comedians already mentioned, were Helen Rens m. John Quinlan, Jack Rice. Lillian Norwood. Frank Masters, Margaret Wood Peggy Brown, Jack Dempsey, Mary Gleason and several others who appeared in the numerous scenes and specialties.

THE HINDU" |S \ MELODRAMA WITH SCENES IF INDIA


 Seats are now selling for "The Hindu" in which Walker Whiteside will be seen at Jefferson Thursday, Friday and Saturday, matinee Satur- day.
 The play Is described as a thrilling melodrama and won success last sea- son in both New York and Chicago, because of it's many puzzling situa- tions, it's secret motives and its ori ental passion and intrigue. The scene is laid in India. and the English se- cret services are seeking to discover the master minds who are stirring up a revolution.
 Walker Whiteside Is seen as Prince Tamar and has one of those orien- tai roles which he plays so well. He will have the support of Miss Syd- ney Shields. the brilliantly emotional actress and the New York cast, which includes Harold Vosburgh, Grace Lynn, Mignon McClintock. E1wyn Eaton, Harold De Becker, Santos Robert, Grant sherman, NJ. De Silva and A. s. Pazumba.

i ClaTIC|ZES PRACTICE
 OF CERTAIN BANKERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The prac- tice of some banks in advertising thet they are neither members of the Fed eral Reserve System nor do they use it's rediscounting facilities, Is criti- cised as injurious to the public in- terests by Eugene Meyer, managing director of the war finance corpora ton, in a letter to J. H. Puliche~. president of the American Bankers Association. Mir. Meyer urged in the letter which was made public tonight that the bankers association take prompt steps with view to stopping the practice.
 Such banks" the letter says, "are by no means in all cases the strong est banks. although they seek to in- crease their standing and reputa- ton by such statements. It is even more true that such banks are by no means the banks which are serving the best interests of the people of their territory.

IS CHICKEN TAKING HOBO TRIP, CITIZENS OF CANTON ARE ASKING

CANTON, Miss, Dec. 25.-whether a chicken was coming home to roost. or if 1t is on sightseeing trip around the world, is question to be decided when a small White Leghorn rooster emerged from drain tile near the Illinois Central passenger station here.
 Yesterday afternoon when Engi- neer J. R. Tate arrived at Canton he noticed a crowd pointing under his engine. and when 1t stopped he was shown smutty, greasy. dirty bus game little Leghorn rooster. looking the part of real hobo, perched on the tank trucks of his engine.
 When the train left Memphis yes- terday morning consignment of chickens was being unloaded and 1t is believed this rooster made the en- tire trip with him.
 True to the hobo nature. he evaded all efforts to be caught or oven to have his picture taken, but took refuge in drain tile.

ALCAZAR FEATURE IS REAL
 OLD-FASHIONED MELODRAMA

The Fast Mail" a Fox melodrama, which the producer states is pure melodrama and an honest picture, be- gan weeks run at the Alcazar yes- terday. It Is just what is claimed for it, melodrama with all the old. almost forgotten ''melo" characters, the horse race, the race between the hero and the villain, the rescue from the burning building where the vil- lain has lured the fair gal and Is trying to force her into marriage. It Is thrilling, entertaining and we'll played. which is much more than can be said for much of the mush and scum which has bean hurled across the screen under a mueh more pre- tentious name and representation.
 Charles Buck" Jones. as the hero. and Eileen Percy. as the heroine. are effective and are given real support by the entire cast. Don't take thls play seriously: it cannot be classed as a classic but as q thriller, 1t is one of the best the reviewer has ever seen.

Ansusen1ents
LYRIC PROGRAM IS ONE or HIGH VALUE.

This weeks program at the Lyric Is perhaps one of the best for all round amusement value that this theatre has offered in sometime. The acts are well placed and their value to the program high, each for the position they hold. James Kelso and Belle Demonde in the headline spot are easily the foremost acts of the bill and fully worthy of the posi- tion they occupy
 No. l, Nellie and Josephine Jor- dan, in rather ordinary opening act, which is somewhat improved by an opening of singing and dancing. The girls are very clever tight wire artists and equally poor dancers and singers. One bow.
 No. 2, Barrett and Farnum in an out-and-out dancing act, which is very good. Both the lady and her partner are finished dancers and their act Is not marred by any at tempt at some other form of enter tainment for which they are not fitted Two bows.
 No. 3, Crane, May and Crane. in bits of old-t time melody. At the piano Mir. Crane is excellent and his sing ing Is good. The two girls in the act fall below the entertainment pitch of their individual offerings when they sing together, but com bined with some good costumng, their offering pleased the Christmas evening audience. Three bows and an encore.
 No. 4. Kelso and Demonde in skit "Papas Secretary" which Is knock out from any point of view. The comedy is clean, the team Is both good and the finish is both unex- pected and clever. Miss Demonde is rot only a good looking young lady, but knows how to dance and handle situations.
 No. 5, Tommy Gordon and Mark Germaine. two hobo tumblers. with the novelty touch skilfully woven into their offering. Aside from some good tumbling they handle comedy lines with ease and punch. Three bows.
 .'Foolish Mothers" Is the screen at traction and will hold interest.

 No. 3, Reed and Bernard company, , in "school marm"--brash statesmen affair, which is spoiled by the lack of ability of the young man who has
 the leading bit. The comedy of this piece is good and with the exception noted it is> a sure-fire hit. Three bows.
 No. 4, Elliott and West, two. men in a comedy makeup and the review CTS choice for first honors. They do a little comedy singing, quite a little comedy dancing. are clean and funny The audience liked them to the ex- tent of three bows and an encore which came very near being a . stopped show.
 No. 5. the Pattersons. in an aerial act. which is featured by the clown ing of the male and a very we'll trained dog. The lady is unques- tionably a trapeze artist but the routine is ordinary and hampers an otherwise fine act. They received a good hand.
 Bert Lytell. the solemn-faced. in Sherlock Brown is the moving pie ture attraction and is a good one. 
 "EAsT IS WEST" IS GOOD PLAY, HUT STAR IS WEAK Constance Talmadge as Chinese girl Is something new and let us hope that the offense will not be again repeated.
 In Fast Is Vest" at the Trianon all this week, this favorite will lose some of her popularity. although the play itself, the photography and athe action are good As an entertaining photoplay the plot of East Is West"
 is unprecedented but the producers
 have certainly weakened a fine ve-
 hicle by putting this lady In the lead- ing role. The rest of the cast are without exception good. the scenery 1 Is authentic And the piece itself is too well known to need delineation.
