BERKELL PLAYERS WIN
FAVOR IN MYSTERY PLAY

Every week in every way the
Berksn Players are getting better
and better.
This company is arriving st that
stage of development when even the
first night runs smoothly although
the play be a difficult piece Of bust
ness.
The Cat ard Canary" is frank
mystery melodrama and it is a
tricky bit of business. The splendid
fashion in which this company at
Englishs is presenting this play is
proof that these people can give a
creditaole stock production of about
anything they attempt.
1t is a far cry from Little Old
New York" to the thrills of "Cat and
Canary" When I was present to
see the mystery play the audience
displayed more yells and screams
than when a road company pre-
scented it in this city. This play may
not be good drama, but it is
marvellous theater.

end Of 1.-THE Cat and Canary" the
lights are splendidly handled and the
two sets which are used are more
than adequate. 1t seems to me that
Eddy Waller and William V. Hull
have lifted the production way above
tne standard that one expects in
stock. From a production stand
point "The Cat and Canary" is the
best yet displayed.
The task of an actor in mystery
play is to make the cold chills run
up and down the back of a specta-
tor. That is the test of effective act
ing. When it comes to furnishing
thrills and confusing an audience,
the honors this week go to Jean Oil
yer. Eddy Waller Herbert Dobbins,
Mary Hill, Robert Fay, Hamilton
Christy and Alexander Campbell.
Miss Oliver makes an appealing
heroine who is nearly shocked into
insanity by the conspirators. Mary
Hill is splendid as Nanny" Pleas
ant. a servant who communicates
with the spirit world. Herbert Rob
bins as Roger Crosby gets the spirit
of the play in fine way. He van
ishes in mid-air in full view of the
audience.
Waller goes in for the laughs, and
it is a good thing he convulses the
house, because the others hand out
the thrills in such large numbers.

A BARREL ADDS TO JOY
OF SPENCER AND WILLIAMS

Ever think that an ordinary bar
rel could be a Comedian?
Hard to believe, but after you see
Spencer and Williams at the Palace
the first half of the week, you will
agree with me that there are three
comedians in the act-Spencer, viii
iams and the barrel.
Williams goes in, as usual, for
individual fun. He has a sort of an
init mate way about him which just
naturally puts over his material.
Williams rolls a barrel on the stage
as he follows Miss Williams on the
stage.
This act SELLS" easily over the
footlights. I have seen them sral
times and they always register with
ease. Spencer even explains his
jokes # they flop. Sometimes he
does a lot of explaining.
Nick Cooley blacks up and imper-
sonates a Southern negro in a
sketch, "The Striped Man" based
on the "Old Reliable" stories. He
is supported by Herschel Mayall and
Clark Marshall. AS a dramatic play

LYRIC. OFFERS SOME
FINE DANCING THIS WEEK

Some Of the best dancing that has
been seen in these parts lately is on
view at the Lyric this week in the J.
Francis Haney Revue.
This act is in three scenes and
has q company of five, including
Haney, three other men and a girl,
all real steppers. They dance sing
ly, in twos, three, tours and all to-
gether and every number is good and
speedy. The feature is a comedy
dance by Haney and one of the 9th
er boys that necessitated several en-
cores.
Dolly Connolly, a singer and
Percy Weinrich, song writer and
pianist, is a team that is 'all there"
when it comes to dispensing melody.
Their songs are different and their
own. Weinrich sings a medley of
his former hits, including Put on
Your Old Grey Bonnet" They also
sing the modern successor to it
which I believe is called, "Good-by
Dobbin." 1t deals with the trip to
Dover in a hivver, is great fun and
judging from it's reception should
be quite as popular as the former
was some years ago.
A good cycIst and a funny clown
comprise the team Of Bud Snyder
and Bluch. They give their audience
few thrills and a whole lot Of
laughs.
Cantwell and Walker also keep
them laughing with their act. Their
closing song recalls memories of

Moreover Mr.. Ford did the public

proof Of this, OF which the public as
