Harry Fields IS local man and is

chorus is composed Of young girls

OF special importance in the cast is

Two Dummies Make Big
Hit on Keith Bill

Two dummies are the sensations
ON the bill at Keith's this week.
One OF the dummies is a lad" who
rides a velocipede. The other is a
girl who rides on roller skates.
These are two Of the dummies"
used by Walter and Emily Walters.
I am going the limit in my praise.
To my way of thinking this is the
most unique and the best presented
act Of ventriloquism on the stage
today.
The woman of the team holds q
dummy baby" in her arms and
mjnics perfectly a crying baby. Moth
ing better on the stage today. The
Walters bring real talent, refinement
and splendid showmanship 10 the
vaudeville stage. If I had a Hall Of
Fame I would put this team in the
hall
VIII tell you a secret. I am going
back to Kelth's again this week just
to see this act.
Some seasons ago 1.-THE Storm"
was presented on the legitimate stage.
Its big scene was a forest fire. A
splendid achievement in stage realism.
The FIRE scene has been taken from
the play and made into a vaudeville
headline act Edward Arnold has the
Burr WintOn role NeeI Bar. IS is
Nanette. The cast gives the needed
atmosphere TO the play, but the forest
fire IS the main feature.
Tom Smith belongs to that variety
Of entertainers known as nut" or
eccentric comedians. At times he is
funny. He is assisted by Harry New
man at the piano and in the aisles
during a burlesque on mind-reading
acts. That stunt is good for laughs.
Bronson and Edwards offer Non
sensicaI Absurdities." That billing ex-
plains everything.
STARS Of the Future" is a real act.
The girls in this act are easily the
best looking seen at Keith's this sea
son. They have talent and display
excellent showmanship.
Flaherty and Stoning engage in
some patter. Margaret Taylor opens
the show. I missed that act. Late
as usual. but not my fault.
A beautiful tribute was paid to the
memory Of President Lincoln yester.
day. Meredith Nicholson, author, in
troduced Charles W. lIoores, an attor-
ney, who spoke of Lincoln and told
several Lincoln stories. 4 number
OF old veterans Of the Civil war oc-

act to first place on a bill when the
act has the merit that Klutings en-
tertainers has.
Tamelo Kajiyama is announced as
the marvellous Japanese caligraph-
ist." Old man Webster declares that
it is "calligraphist" and not "cali-
graphist." Webster defines the word

Tameo. He does write beautifully
and iazzes up his writing by doing
several other things at the same time.
I failed to get excited over Tameo.
He may be an expert in his line, but
he uses some poor showmansbip in

ing.
Bollinger and Reynolds opens the
show with a wire walking act. Pleas
ing. Brierre and King offer sing
ing act. The only number of merit
is Miss Kings version of an old maid.
Other musical contributors to the
bill are Dan easier and the Beasley
Twins. The pianist is the real
feature. The Hickvtlle FOlltes will
not set the world on fire with their
jazz playing. Only fair.
Sidney S. Styne, an eccentric
comedian, makes a mistake by making
alleged funny remarks to members
of the audience who happen to leave
or come into the theater during his
act. That is bad taste and is not en-
tertainment.

The driv- CT of the truck deserted 1t. upon seeing an officer approach to find out why 1t was stalled at busy street intersection.
