GAYETY SHOW
IS STRONG IN
FEATURES

Seldom has featured act at the
Gayety been received with the de-
gree of enthusiasm as that ac-
corded Ben Meroff and his sym
phonic entertainers" by last nights
capacity house. This collection Of
jazz artists made an instantaneous
hit, and was forced to respond to
repeated encores. Meroff is not
only a fine musician and leader,
but also a dancer of ability.
The show is Joe Hurtig's "N!f-
ties of 1924" and is in two acts
and eleven scenes. The comedy is
furnished by Billy Foster and Will
H. Cohan, and while they are gem
timely funny, they are inclined this
season to introduce too much
horseplay. Their automobile slit
was amusing and got many
laughs.
Shirley Mallette is the niftiest
of this aggregation of ''nifties"
and put over her songs and dances
with a bang. Irene Leary also
stepped to the front on several oc-
casions and got a good hand.
Maude Baxter, Harry G, Van, Pat
Cliff and Patsy Marshall are some
of the other principals who helped
to put the show across.
Hurtig has cutfitted his new
show attractively aud has provided
a good singing end dancing chorus.

art of writing novels; in the art OF
writing motion pictures 1t does.
Here is one comparison. A play

a constantly expanding or con-
tracing three-cornered stage with

make a better picture than the
one you saw on the screen last
night.

how they came to do such a
thing and who will write" them

vided, of course, that the editor
finds any of his readers interest,

There are three acts OF unusual
excellence at Keith's this week so
interspersed In the program as a
whole that the low rating of one or
two of the other offerings is more
than balanced by the quality Of the
three first mentioned.
OF chief Importance, Of course,
is the Meyer Golden presentation
Of Philip Pelz and his Russian Art
Symphonists. Here is an act SO
far above the average vaudeville
style that it seems almost out Of
place even on. the Albee boards,
where variety's best reigns su-
preme. Consummately staged. it,
presents an artistic ensemble whose
only fault is that it renders no en-
cores and is seen and heard for far
too short a time. A little SYM
phony orchestra of delicate balance
and tone comparable to the best
organizations OF its size ever heard
in Washington furnishes the in
strumental background, against
which is woven harmony of song
and dance both ethereal and haunt
ing. Four harmonious male voices
render the throbbing "Song of the
Volga Boatmen," after which comes
the Dance of the Dying Swan, by
Vlasta Maslova--a very capable
dancer. Olga Kazanskaya delivers
q soprano solo, Philip Pelz himself
contributes cornet number, and
the ensemble joins in the good, old

There are two girls named

She is encountered by husbands,
