THE PALACE

 duction such as M. Golden's "Yarmark" should have such a star as Theodore Stepanoff at the head of its cast. "Yar- mark" is Russian phrase which trans lated into English means night at the carnival. M. Golden whose vaudeville conceptions are attracting widespread at tention at the present time has made taken this idea of Russian village car nival and rounded out an act that IS novel, unusually entertaining and clever ly done to a degree. This act heads the bill at the Palace for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 "Yarmark" is festival of Russian songs and dances, particular attention being paid to the latter The popularity of Russian dancing is just now at its very peak and the appearance of such a noted terpsichorean artist as Theodore Stepanoff is froth with interest. Stepa noff is one of the greatest opponents of Russian dancing to come to America and his work Is sensational big com pany of Russian singers and dancers ap- "Yarmark." The act is the last word in staging the realistic setting being one of its striking features.
 
 nership and the former member of the well-known team of Anger and Packer now has Dorothy Morley as a running mate Every vaudeville goer knows Al Anger for he is one of variety's best comedians. MT. Anger and Miss Morley are presenting brand new piece of stage hilarit ywhich they call Slapped" Its as good and as funny as any act with which this lnished comedian has been identified.
 Vaudeville audiences are given an inti- mate view of one of those institutions that make lean ladies plump and plump ladies lean in Billy Bachelors Revue which is called "The Beauty Shop" The Batchelor assisted by a quartette of charming girls provides the melody and dancing of which there is plenty.
 Syncopated songs are given super ele- vation by Combe and Nevins, two men who style themselves Those Syncopat- ing Entertainers" Just now jazz is the modern monarch and these two chaps have places close to its throne.
 A season or two ago vaudeville won two recruits from the legitimate stage in Robert Hyrnan and Virginia Mann So | decided was the success of these two | clever people that they have not to the | legitimate stage and the chances are that l of vaudeville managers have ther way they never will. Long Distance Love" is the little of the sparkling little one l act comedy which Hyfnan and Mann are | presenting. This laugh maker treats on | modern life and its fun is derived from natural course of events that might ap- ply to the daily lives of thousands of l American citizens. Long Distance l Love" is comedy but it is much more | logical than many dreams.
 A pretty and sprightly singing girl is | Melva Telma whose songs of topical | nature are written especially for her. 1 This sunny spot on the Palace bill for l Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday is due | for real appreciation.
 Lloyd Nevada takes rnirth by one hand and mystery by the other and pi- lots them through fourteen minutes of | unusual entertainment Birds and peo- pie appear and disappear most mysteri- ously but in a manner that creates no end of fun. MT. Nevada finishes his act with a, battle between an aerop1an and a Zeppelin and this is very spectacular | This entertaining surely has hit upon the fine idea of using fun as lubricant for h1s, illusions and its no wonder things i run smoothly.
