Irving Berlin has started on a
cruise of the Caribbean, under
sealed orders to go in search Of
derelict tunes. While rowing
through the Gulf of Yucatan on
his private yacht, which, by one
of those condolences that will
happen, is called the Music Box,
he will compose new melodies for

Marjorie Rambeau so far has re-

1.-THE FOOL" GOES

Charming Pollock's 1.-THE Fool"
began the second and final week
of its Washington engagement at
the Shubert- Belasco last night be-
fore an audience that found much
to ponder upon in an unusual
play.
1t is easy to see why this play
has established a definite con,

ranks of capital and labor. When
1t was presented in West Virginia,

it presented a wholly false con-

BORDONI'S NEW
OFFERING,
LIKED

Little Miss Bluebeard," three !.
act, four song play starring the
eye.re-zeeest- ible Irene Bordoni,
slumbered its way through the
first fifteen minutes of act one
last night at the National, sud-
needle of Avery Hopwood, and
from that point on until the
final curtain was as thoroughly
interesting as a check-cluttered
oil scandal.
II you will imagine the French
doll Bprdoni married by proxy to
the best friend of the man she
thought she was marrying and If
will remember Hopwood is there
after commander.in-chief Of situa-
lions involving bachelors, real
wives, boudoirs, husbands in pur-
suit, slamming doors and flooring
slams-well, you get the drift.
Irene is five times better than
she was in the French DOLL"
Or perhaps it should be said that
the material in Little Miss Blue
beard" is five times better than
the script of that earlier vehicle.
Certainly last nights entertain
ment gave Miss Bordoni oppor-
tunities and she took them all.
The story Of the piece Is proba-
bly, as worn as the first two-dollar
bill you ever gave to see some Of
Hopwood's stuff. Several Of the
episodes are accredited to a Ga
briel Dregely, Of Hungary, but
they might just as well have come
from Hopwood himself. 1t is all
nice, swift moving farce, nice for
one reason because Of the novelty
Of having the bed in the next
room. You get the effect with
out being bored.
Miss Bordoni sings four tunes
that stick with you as you turn
homeward. A Victrola stunt in
act two shows you how nicely her
voice reproduces (records plugged
heartily on the way OUT
In addition to especially de-
signed and especially delicious
gowns from Miss Bordoni's vast
wardrobe, the ladies will enjoy
the good Hooking Arthur Marget
son, who does love-making in
what we suppose is true Count
Salm style. Eric Blore is quite as
funny as the name under which
he plays, 1.-THE Hon. BERTHE Bird"
Just before you buy your tickets
remember your attention was in
vited to one "Smithers," a farce

MUCH VARIETY
ON GAYETY
BILL

Town Scandals" this weeks
attraction at the Gayety, with
Harry G1icley) LeVan as the fea'
tured member of the company,
furnished lot of entertainment
for a big outpouring Of fans last
night. The producers have fur.
nished the comedian and his sup
porting company with an adequate
vehicle and it is put over with a
bang. A faster stepping aggrega-
ton has not been seen here in
some time.
LeVan has a style all his own
and the ease with which he ex-
tracts the elusive laughs from the
audience without resort to slap
stick methods is in pleasing con-
trast to the average burlesque
comedian. When he is not con-
vulsing the audience with his
drolleries Hickey plays the piano
with almost the touch of
master.
There is another prospective
star in the offing in Johnny Hud-
gins, who appears in black-face
and whose dancing took the house
by storm. This boy is sure to be
lured away from burlesque before
long. Exile Butler is a saxophone
player Of ability and her yodeling
was pleasing. Ray King is the
straight man and his voice was
heard to advantage, particularly
in duets with Miss Butler and
Miss Barrie Lydon. Other men,
bers Of the company whose work
stands out include Frank O'Neill.
Micky Sweeney, a plump little
dancer, Lettie' Bolles, Lillian
Beason and Babe Mccoy. The
chorus is also entitled to a word
of praise for it's excellent work.
An added attraction is Prof.

Of a man whom God made a ply

For Lionel Atwill this is some

bland and cavalierly roles OF 1.-The

on his capacities and twice that
on his imagination of how man
in a disappointed rage deports
himself. We see him already dis
illusioning much Of his pretty
feminine following by the most
unlovely set Of grimaces and facial
calisthenics seen outside the habl'
tat of the India Rubber man.
Wholly, however, the Atwillian ac-
count is of solder stuff-inspired,
almost-than anything he has
done in several years. 1t is with
in honest reporting to say that
Mr.. Atwill makes actors of his
audience and has the house plug

five mandatory bows following the
last curtain might have been part
tribute to the cure he effected and
part tribute to a finished brand of
acting, which gets no little Of it's
