NEW SEASON
USHERED IN
AT GAYETY

Through the medium of a fast
stepping burlesQue show the Gay
ETY. got away to a flying start
yesterday on it's 1923-24 season.
The popular Ninth street play
house looked very attractive in
it's new dress and two big audi
ences gave their stamp of ap-
prevail to the first attraction of
the season.
Charles H. Waldron's Boston
ians," one of the pillars of bur-
lesque. is the show that Manager
Harry Jarboe chose to inaugurate
his new season, and that 1t was
wise choice was indicated by
the constant gales of laughter
that greeted the comedians and
the applause -showered upon the
feminine members of the COM
pany.
The show Is in two acts and
six scenes and bears the title
Every Man For Himself" It is
n1efely q collection of absurd1ties,
enabling various members of the
company to step out to the front
and do their stuff. The funmak-
ers-in,chief are Scottie Friedel
and Ernie Mack, and this pair
soon demonstrated they are
among the best Of the tramp
comedians on the Columbia Dir
cult. Gene Schiller and Jack Cam
eron, the latter as a battler, aided
in keeping the show moving at q
fast rate.
Mildred Cecil. the darling Of
burlesque, returned to Washing
ton to win new triumphs. Miss
Cecil is mighty easy to look at
and her fine voice and engaging
personality make her an out
standing feature of the Boston
ians.- Ameta Pynes, a graceful
dancer; Cecil McCann, Pauline
Burg, Leo Lee and Anna Gordon
are other members Of the COM
pany who appear to advantage.
A lot Of attractive girls make
up the chorus and form a pleas
ing background for the principals.
The show is new throughout and
the elaborate scenic and lighting
effects and rich costuming are a
credit to the veteran producer,
Jack Singer.

BILL AT
STRAND

Exceptionally good entertain
ment is provided at the Strand
this week.
"A Day At the Races" the
feature number on the vaudeville
half of the program, is unusual
and different in more ways than
one. In the first place, 1t Is
exceptional in that 1.-The day"
sends everyone home happy and
winner, a decidedly unusual hap
pening at the races anywhere. The
act presents q clever collection of
trained monkeys and dogs.
The Duponts, "Syncopated Jug
glers," open with clever offer
ing. Their imitation Of a railroad
engine, made by the fast Juggling
of balls against q drum-head, won
much applause. The Criterion
Four, who follow, need no intro
duction to Washington, being
established favorites here. The
boys prove better than ever with
q new line Of popular close har-
mony hits. Newkirk and the Meyer
Sisters, in q snappy revue or
music, dances and song, are de-
serving Of o headline position.
Robey and Gould, with their jokes
and songs. kept the house laugh
ing the entire time they were on.

dramatic attraction, and those
who are looking for q clean-cut
picture with plenty Of pathos and
thrills, intermingled with rib
tickling comedy, will find this
offering to be out Of the ordinary.

marvellous child actor that has
ever appeared before the public.

piece Of work and the elderly
maestro is done with the skill of

Tully's film version Of his stage
success, Omar The Tentmaker,"
with Guy Bates Post In the role

more examples Of the heights to

STAGE
, HIT AT THE
PALACE

Lawful Larceny" Sammy Ship
mans successful legitimate drama
of thoughtlees wives and husbands
in need Of reclamation, is on view
In It's screen form as the opening
attraction Of the new season at
Loew's Palace. All the preach
ment, all the triumph of right over
wrong, all the punch and zip that
put the stage version over with a
loud defamation, has been trans
ferred by the directorial ability Of
Allan Dwan to the silversheet's
version: plus the stately Nita
Naldi, both in modern setting and
Egyptian flashback. Add to thes
above the wriggly gildagraying Of
none other than Gilda Gray herself
worth the price of admission
alone) and you've a surefire double
barreled boxoffice hit. Thus
Lawful Larceny"
The story is one everybody
knows, probably. The wife who
neglects her husband aid goes
gallivanting across the Atlantic;
the husband, left to his own
devices, who is shared in the net
Of a fascinating female gambler;
the sudden realization on his part
that he faces ruin and disgrace,
and on his wife's that she must do
something to save him; the play
of wits between the two women,
and the finale with everything
coming out as it should. Doesn't
sound like much, stated badly, yet
put on the screen with the fine
acting of Miss Naldi, Lew Cody,
Conrad Nagel and, Hope Hampton
against the artistic settings fur
nished by Paramount, the result
is film of genuine entertainment
value, excellently done.
The cast, as stated, is excellent.
Conrad Nagel has rare OppOrtuni-
ties as the nearly ruined husband
to display his emotional talents;
Lew Cody, dapper, debonaire and
faultlessly groomed, plays a role
that fits his peculiar personality
like the proverbial glove; Nita
stalks sinuously all over the place.
and Miss Hampton is beautiful
enough for anyone's taste. AS TO
Gilda Gray-well, she's just Gilda
Gray, and nothing more. She ap-
pears in just one scene, but you
get to see a lot of her just the
same. And her work is beyond
compare.
A word for the secondary part
of the program at the Palace this
week. Besides a new Mack Sem
nett comedy that's funny in spots,
a. Pathe news reel and a topics
film, there's a musical offering
that equals anything heard at this
%theater during the past year.
"Gems from the Opera Mirror"
Tom Cannon calls it; selections
from Walkure, Rienzi, Lucia and
Rigoletto comprise it, and it's
played to perfection. Lee Croni-
clans piano rendition of the Rigo-
letto fantasie in particular is de-
serving of highest praise.--H. l.. 3.
