TABLOID TOPS
ON KEITH'S
NEW BILL

Splendid offerings in other quar-
tiers theatrical seemed to attract
Keith patrons not ct all last night,
to judge by the big house gathered
to greet the opening Of this weeks
super bill.
The chief lure was the tabloid
revue Of jeanette Hackett and
Harry Delmar, including chorus,
with all the pep and prettiness
you could wish. With rich cos
tuning by Miss Hackett, effective
staging by Mr.. Delmar, and the
trickiest pedal work we have had
a look at for some time, it is easy
to see how this production has en-
joyed its four-year ride on the
crest of first-water dance acts.
Julius Tanner, alias Chatter
box" former secretary to j. Ogden
Armour, is back with a monologue
that brings loud and hearty
laughs
Comes next Charlotte Lansing,
prima donna and newcomer, sail
ing her bark in the hazardous sea
OF vaudeville. We are thankful
for the finds that refresh the
old routine Of the two-a-day. Here
is voice of quality, a sur
cease after the blatant Blues and
Bananas.
Carl Mcbride and Stella Tracey
offer, with one exception, new
act in the manner of their WISE
cracking sidewalk banter, followed
by corking dance burlesque.
Charles O'Donnell and Stella
Blair are again seen in the famil-
lar ''Piano Tuner numskullery,
and Valentine and Bell do an alb
sorbing balancing act which is
dubbed by them furniture remov-
ing.
Novelty is given the program by
Wee" George Wood, vaudeville's
Peter Pan-who halls from Eng
land. His playlet, Ellis Black
Hand" constitutes the best juve-
Milling this theater has provided
for many months. Special men,
ton should be made Of Bert Rome
and Henry Dunn in their "Iar-
mony AS You Like It." Well
named, that; you like 1t. Wv.

AN ETCHING In
TRAGEDY IS
|STEADFAST'

Towering in Lincolnian majesty
above his fellow-players, Frank
McGlynn added an important
characterization to his repertoire
as Rabbi Nathan Judah, COM
manding figure of "Steadfast." by
Albert Koblitz and S. ]. War
shawsky, at the Shubert- GarricK
Theater, last night.
A distinctly Russian influence
pervades this play. The tale UNI
folds with unyielding realism,
until the third act, when, a touch
of religious mysticism effects d
compromise, but with the effect
of Strengthening the dramatic
force of the offering.
"Steadfast" is plainly a We
hicle for McGlynn. 1t narrates
the visitation of tragedy to a
rabbits family, and of the old
mans fortitude ana fidelity to his
religion in the face Of devasta-
ting calamity. "Steadfast" is the
Book OF Job, adapted for the
modern dramatic school. The
speeches drag in places, and Wig
orous rewriting would benefit the
play.
"McGlynn, remembered for his
undying portrait of Lincoln, pack
ed the Garrick last night. He
sought to clothe himself in the
new part, after divesting himself
as far as possible of every shred
of his earlier and greater pic
ture. Perhaps be succeeded TO
his own satisfaction, but the an-
dience could not forget his Lin.
coin. His great frame, his heav-
lily poetic hands, his very walk
were reminiscent OF the great
emanicipator. Nevertheless, in
the tenser moments of the play,
McGlynn attained heights. His
first entrance was long applaud
ed, and he responded to a de-
mand for a speech at the close
of the play.
Even more important than the
theme of the drama was the
brilliant etching of a rabbits
home life. Marie Reichardt, the
Mamma" of the family, was
superbly real, speaking her lines
with an honestly foreign accent.
Briefly, "Steadfast'' tells Of the
betrayal Of Sarah, the rabbits
daughter, by the man who was
to have been her husband. Sarah
brother Morris marries the sister
of the false lover. Sarah takes
poison at the wedding feast. DR..
Philip Judah, who adds to the
rabbits sorrows by marrying out
of the Jewish faith, aids IN con-
cealing the reason for Sarah's
death from the father as long as
he can. The further development
Of the play is not for this writer
to reveal.
Leona Hogarth is a beautiful
and tragic figure as Sarah. She
is an actress Of great qualities,
and plyed her exacting part with
understanding and repression.
Lulu May Hubbard and Marie
Louise Walker, both very pretty,
give life to their roles. Little Billie
Pearce, as Bonnie, the rabbits
youngest son, furnishes the slim
comedy relief Of the play. George
Henry Trader, formerly of Gar
rick stock, has the part of a
cantor. The remainder of the
cast are adequate to the plays
demands.-J. r.

BATHINGGIRLS
FEATURE AT
GAYETY

The Bathing Beauties" are
holding forth at the Gayety this
week in a musical revue in, two
acts and ten scenes, and it is
about the niftiest aggregation Of
talent Washington burlesque de-
voices have had the pleasure of
seeing this season. With all the
scenes laid at the seashore there
is ample opportunity for the girls
to disport themselves in gorgeous
bathing costumes and they are
mighty easy on the eyes when
thus arrayed. The beach parade
was a knockout.
The comedy part of the show
devolves upon the shoulders of
Jack Hunt and Clyde Bates, two
comedians of the tramp variety,
cessful in bringing forth gales of
laughter. Charlie Markert aids
them in keeping the show NOV
ing at. lightning speed.
Chic, red-haired Alice Lawlor
ran off with the feminine honors.
This syncopated songstress won
her audience from the start and
got whale of a hand with her
songs and dances. Winnie Phil
lips, who looked stunning in a
bathing suit, Dottie Leighton and
Catherine Adolph sang and
danced their way into favor.
Aaron and Kelly, two colored
boys, were on the stage several
times and each time they stopped
the show with their dancing.
The chorus, both in looks and
training, is easily the best Gayetv
patrons have seen in a long
time.-H, w.

FROM EUROPE
RETURNS
MR.. HAYS

Will H. Hays is back in Amer
lea after a three weeks visit in
London as the guest of Ambas-
sador George Harvey. Mr.. Hays
refused to discuss the resignation
of Ambassador Harvey or what
he proposes to do after returning
but said many things of interest
concerning the films and one
thing that should be framed and
hung in every film office.
In an interview yesterday, Mr..
Hays stated that he had learned
authoritatively in England that
80 per cent of the film attrac-
tions there are American pro-
auctions. This, he said, is a ire
mendous factor in placing the
real American life and ideals be-
fore the people on the Continent,
and he prophesied that motion
pictures, through exchange be-
tween the various peoples of the
world, will eventually wipe out
wars and make for better under
standing between nations. He
cited number of instances and
said that if the Balkan States
would know each other through
pictures the enmities between
them would dwindle.
It is interesting to note Mr..
Hays statement that 80 per cent
of the pictures are American
made, because there have been so
many arguments on that score.
Some Of the English film editors
claim that America does not con-
troll the English market. Mr..
Hays will return to his office at
522 Fifth avenue at once and en-
deavor to make up for lost time.
Mr.. Hays has said the he will
continue to be head Of the mo-
ton picture industry until 1925.

FORMER PRESIDENT WILSON
STILL LOVES LIMERlCKS

Former President Wilson's long
fitness has not destroyed his taste
for limericlxs, it was revealed by a
visit of four Princeton University
undergraduates to his home yester-
day. The quartet, in Washington
to attend sessions of the Citizenship
conference, reported that Wilson
was in high spirits, laughing and
joking, reciting verses and sending
his best" to the student body of the
institution he once headed.
Even during the troublous days
preceding Americas entry into the
world war, President Wilson was
wont to take time off to exercise
his ingenuity in composition Of the
