MuRRAY VAUDEVILLE

Replete with amusing features and
well placed in the standard conception
of modern vaudeville, the Murray's
holiday bill this week takes rank
among the foremost.
Charles Rogers and company is one
of the biggest laughing acts the Rich
mond public has had the opportunity
to enjoy in many weeks: The team of
'ice-men" certainly take position
among vaudeville comedians that
rivals the place of Ben Turpin and his
cohorts OF the. screen. Many of the
antics, too, recall the perplexities of
the silyer-sheet funsters, and are true
ly as comic. One of the team has the
savage characteristics of Simon Lee

meek submissiveness yet boisterous
bravado, of the hero in East Lynn,

original, half mechanical in their ac-
tions. A great deal of fun ensues for
both actors and audience.

Its never too late to learnt"
That is what friends of Constance
Talmadge told her while she was
trying to walk like a Chinese girl in
East Is West" the First National
attraction now showing at the Muir
rette theatre here.
But Constance was a pessimist and
insisted that in the same class with
poets and such who are born not
made the strenuous art of walking
a la China girl must be inherited, not
acquired.
There not being any "can'ts" in the
Talmadge family, however, Con-
stance made a start by ordering n
dozen pair of Chinese shoes. This
being done it was necessary to learn
to use them, but she found it was
one thing to be accustomed to wear
the low sport heel on American shoes
quite another matter to go absolutely
heelless, and the last straw to be
forced to take the mincing step of the
Chinese girl.
Slightly daunted but determined,
she kept at it until the difficult feat
was accomplished, under the approx
ing eyes OF half a dozen Chinese Ia
dies from the Washington Embassy,
who commended her efforts highly.

The only complication to this problem-sov-

has done duty may be credited to the censors
in few states. They have cut out these "bg

gap has been filled in by an imaginative por-
trait of a stork winging his way through the
cosmos with bundle pendant in his beak

The Duke of Bismuth is involved in ter

crown would involve his putting aside the
bride of his youth and tribulations. Forgetful
Of the dark days when the duchess stuck to
him, the duke starts rummaging through the
drawer where the ducal gems and other pre-
cious objects are kept in search of jeweled
flask which will give him some confidence even
before any is voted him.
Instead Of the flask he finds tiny pair of
socks. Confronting his consort, he is cap
toned as saying:
WHAT GOES ON, DUCHESS?
Her grace lowers her eyes, as they ali do,
and replies via caption:
CAN YOU NOT GUESS, DUKE?
The duke can't guess-they never can at
first. Then the duchess lowers her eyes even
further and dinlples and the duke guesses.
Of course, the knowledge saves him from his
wicked ambition and contents him with his
simple ducal lot.
And so it goes and will go on in the movies
until some genius provides about to- be-desert-

straining husbands about to exit in rage, such
as lasso or graphing hook or combna-
