C0SMOS-"A Ring Tangle."

Paramount's Zane Grey phdtoplay,
TO the Last Man." featuring Lois
Wilson, Richard Dix, Noah Beery and
George Choos comedy. "A Ring Tan
gle" featuring Edythe Maye and
Jack Henry; the film story of the Zev-
Papyrus horse race, and Art Frank
sketch, THE Hick and the Chick" are
the outstanding features of an en-
tertaining bill at the Cosmos Theater
this week
The Choos comedy is much better in
comedies, and in "A Ring Tangle"
both Jack Henry and Edythe Maye
do exceptionally good work. Art
Frank. as "the hick," is an irresistible
with the fair Margie a close second.
Their act Is a pronounced hit. The
horse race, as realistic as the camera
could make it, however. seems to
lack the thrill that such affairs are
supposed to offer, probably because of
it's distance from the silent thousands
who witnessed and who helped to
make it seem wonderful event.
The Zane Grey picture is a feud
story tranSplanted from Texas to
Arizona. interesting at times, thrill
ing and pathetic, but with little new
material save a man-created ava
lanche that wipes out the Isbel fam
lily, save Jean, the last man. who wins
out at the close.
Other acts include a bit of cowboy
and cowgirl entertainment by the
Wyoming Duo, Ruth Gordon and Bud
Carlei, in dancing and looped ropes
and song and chatter for it's features;

Dvorak's symphony From the New
World" the most comprehensive and
inspiring number, opened the pro-
gram, with it's revelation, as Mr..
Damrosch explained, of the impress
sions made upon the great Czecho-
slovakian composer by his life in
America. Definitely delineated
throughout, as the orchestra swung
into the glory of the symphony, were
the influences of the American negro
spiritual, peculiarly plaintive and
sweet In the first movement; repeated
in the, last. One almost caught the
haunting fervor of Swing Low,
Sweet Chariot" woven by the COM
poser into the fabric of his dream.
The largo, as explained by Mr.. Dam
rosch and interpreted with rich, fine
feeling by the orchestra, gave vent
to longing for ones native land.
There was a suggestion of Swanee
river and homeland, but the soul of
the artist aspired even higher. in this

GAYETY-"G -"GiggIes. "

The Gayety Theater has for its Of
fering this week Joseph Levitt's pro-
duction, "Giggles," a hodge podge of
laughter provoking episodes that re-
quire no great strain of mental effort
on the part of the audience to dag
nose.
There are three good features in
the show headed by Harry Evanson. a
comedian with a style all his own. He
is one of the smoothest performers in
burlesque and is aided in his work
by some clever make-ups. Olive De
Convey, prima DONNA has charm,
beauty and vocal ability, a combina-
tion rarely found on this circuit. She
was installed a favorite last night.
Her songs are we'll selected and her
singing a pleasure to hear. The 9TH
er outstanding number of the show is
an apache dance, La Danse du Mort"
performed by La Penty and Kaney.
Others in the cast are Mildred Sim
mons, Fern Miller, Dave Shafkin.
Ray Rottach, William Davis and
Louis Kurzwell. The chorus is COM
posed of about score of sprightly
maidens tastefully costumed, and the
scenery is credit to the designer.

in her own inimitable way, and. of
course, the laughs were many. Her
experience in the big reVues has i'm
proved her tactics in putting over
song and last night she fairly bubbled
over with confidence, knowing she
had her audience just where she
wanted II. Many curtain calls came
her way, and in a neat little speech
she said she was about the only
american on the bill. which also help
ed some, as vaudeville patrons always
stand up for the old L. 5. A." a la

Miss Tiberio is practically a whole
show in herself, Il finished musician,
playing the violin, cello and dccor-
dion, using a rifle with cleVerneSs,
drawing caricatures from sight with
"rayon and winding up her act with
solo dances of entertaining quality.
Given time to dress and with the or
chestra to help her out, the little
French girl can hold the stage easily
Tor an hour or more without becom-
ing tiresome.
Those wonderful grotesque and at
the same time graceful dancers from
Russia, headed by Julie Bekeff, un
der the title of Bekef's Theater
GroteSk, were a big hit. The costumes
and scenery are startling in their
bold coloring. The scenes for the
eight numbers call for high praise.

NATIONAL-"The Awful Truth. !"

The sentimental weakness of man
and the artful diplomacy of woman
have furnished Arthur Richman with
a theme for a delightful COMEDY ana
sparkling lines in The AWful truth,
which was presented by Charles
Frohman," as produced by Henry Mil
Ter, at the National Theater last
evening. Bruce McRae, the fine actor,
represented the man and Miss ina

mors affecting the character OF the

that the opportunities for hlgh COM

The audacity of the situation at
the outset is most amusing, If one is
