r. EEMS to me that the job Of

will be removed and you again will
live as a child.
Somehow or other. it seems to me
that this is the mission as well as
the test Of modern poetry. Litera-
ture l have not read means nothing
to me. It is only when I have men
tally digested it and it becomes a
part of little me that literature be-
comes a living fact instead of I'M
read pages.
It's awful nice to know a poet
while he lives. Bill Herschell has
bene an important part Of this city
for many years. Those who knew
Riley are richer in that experience
today. I envy those who actually
knew thes man.
But when William Herschell takes
his rightly, won place in the hearts
of all Hoosiers as wei as all Ameri-
cans, I will not have to rely upon
the printed page alone to become
acquainted with the man because
know what it feels like to shake
hands with a poet while he's dream
in and building.
But I do know a poet. And in that
am glad.

clever balancing. but the feature OF
this dog is the human element. The
canine in question knows that the
trainer is more than a pace setter,
but a real friend. The trainer does
not have to bride or even coax his
pal to go through the routine. The
dog seems to love the job OF being
an actor.
James Miller is presenting "A
Musical Revue" as the headline fea-
ture. This act is different from most
brevues as it is instrumental and not
vocal. Two girls do a dance num-

that counts in the act.
The Mccarthy Sisters are remem-
bered from legitimate revue days.
These girls need some lessons in
novelty entertainment. AS they now
stand, these girls are just average.
Why not think along revue lines and
give vaudeville your best? Novelty
that's the doctor.
Lloyd and Estes illustrate my
point in question. These two have
their own way in presenting mate
rial. Not greatly different from some
other acts. but the man has the
needed personality to put over the
material both in song and in comedy.

When Mother Was Maze and Father Was Paz0'

Here you find an experience that
comes to about every lad-that OF
going to a funeral with his mother.

You don't want to go-stin you're anxious|

How near your folks guessed who TIL

Will skip Bills third verse and goj
to the last:

No17g0,th Tells the World That old
Fashioned Van1b Wore Rat i'm Her HAN"

names are Grace Cameron and Kay
Norman.
Reynolds is what is known as a
regulation burlesque comedian of the
old school idea. He doesn't believe
in permitting scenery and a chorus
to be the whole works. He thinks
that the chief comedian along with
the other principals should carry the
bulk Of the entertainment.
This week we have a regulation
burlesque show with Reynolds and
his assisting funmakers claiming
most of the attention. The scenery
and the chorus are only incidental
but necessary.
Reynolds has a clean show. His
aged, but clean. He gets his laughs
with ease. Comedy is what they
want in burlesque and the people
seem to rely upon the old line, such
as Reynolds, to furnish it.
Grace Cameron has had a lot of
eccentric characterization. She has
clever gossip number and she
walks away with a burlesque on
opera. Kay Norman is also an in
teresting personality in song and
dance. a Kanui's Hawaiians, three in
number, give us quality instead Of
quantity in "euke" music. This team
is a real hit. One of the men
radiates personality all over the
| theater.
"Hippity Hop" although not as
elaborate as some of the shows pre-
ceing it, will please those who en-
JOY the old burlesque school.
At the Capitol all week.

vidual materials, both, as to subject
matter and as to presentation. His
first minutes on the stage at Keith s
this week are devoted to song. He
has a choice bit of smart fun in
1.-The body in the bag" A song story
about the efforts of a man to dis
pose Of a cat with nine lives. Final
~ he engages in conversation with
Miss Dorothy Adelphi. who presides
at the piano. Here you get a sort
of a closeup of the Norworth way.
He knows how to develop a joke,
even an old one, and so dress it up
that it appears to be just out of
the cradle. He has a good idea in
presenting old slides used in movie
theaters years ago, while he sings
some of his own old compositions.
Norworth has kept up to the, times.
He is not slipping. He is a safe
headliner.
He tells the world that an old
fashioned vamp used to wear a rat
in her hair. And that proves the
age of the vamp. Am sure you will
enjoy Norworth.
Now I am ready to tell you that
8. f. Keith's has opened its sea-
son. A wee bit late this time. but
the way the audience responded to
the first big time bill proves to me
that the waiting has made us hun
cry for this class of vaudeville.
To my way of thinking Oracle
DEACON and Jack Mack are the real
comedy goods. Miss DEACON re-
minds me of Francis White at her
best because Miss DEACON does a
corking kid impression. Mack is
not a mere foil for the capers of his
companion because he has real abili-
ty and personality. This act is the
laughter hit of the first bill.
Helene Coyne and Henry French
present Music of Notion" a series
of dance pictures against a song
background. The Spanish number
is well done and the Filtration of
1864" gives Miss Coyne a chance to
prove her ability on her toes.
Frank Fisher is an eccentric boob
comedian who plays a modern par
lor sheik or Romeo to the loving
sofa Juliet of Eldrie Gilmore.
Hoakum, but funny.
In another season I spoke at
| length of Marcelle and a trained
sea lion. Here is the best sea lion
in captivity. Never have 1 seen its
equal. Same act as last season, but
still a great feature on any bill.
The violin and accordion are the
instruments used to advantage by
Tommy Russell and Ernie Marconi.
The Three Danoise Sisters open the
show in trapeze offering. Miss
Robbie Gordone closes the show in a
posing act.
