off the second honors. She ID

.MIDGETS IN A
SURPRISE
REVUE

There Is an apt illustration Of
that old saw Good goods come
in small packages at Keith,s.
Theater this week. Singers
Midgets are the small packages.
and the undeniable quality Of
their srevuep was the good goods.
Singers NUGGETS held the board.
for the entire last half Of the.
program. That in itself speaks
well for their act, but one has to
see and hear those tiny people
to really appreciate their worth.
Sadly enough the program did
not give the names of the per-
formers. That forces one to
forego the naming of the lead
ing lights, but the gentleman who
did the magician stuff, and who.
later played enthusiastically on
the drums in the orchestra seemed
to elicit a large share Of credit.
The Dolly Sisters and the Dun
can Sisters were we'll character
lied by two Of the midget ladies
and some might well puzzle over
their feat in emulating the Dollies.
The show carried everything
from a wild west show to near.
classical singing. The naidgets
were excellent. They did not
rely upon anything but pure merit
to carry them over.

The Albertina Rasch girls had

of them and they had a ballet
arrangement that was pleasing.
Zozo and Kiki, celebrated clowns,

act. Cook, Mortimer and Harvey

Larry SemOn.

AIS1AAy 0GAAAVNe
Larry Semon is star Of the bill
at Crand&ll's Central Theater to-
day only in his first feature
length production, sprightly
film version Of Avery Hopwood's
former stage hit, "The Girl in the
Limousine" released as a First
National attraction. In this anus
ing play Mr.. Semon impersonates
the more fragile of two Of a beau
tiful young woman's most ardent
suitors. The other leading aspir-
ant for her hand is a husky sort
of brute who all his life has taken
advantage Of his less vigorous
rival The manner in which the
lightweight circumvents and H.
nany banishes the heavyweight
from the going comprises the
crux of a camera farce that has
much that is laughable to COM
!. mend 1t. Claire Adams leads the
supporting cast. which also in
'cludes such favo-ite players as
Charlie Murray, a.dcIIIe Ward and
Oliver Harding.
The companion attraction is
Nell Shipman's own production Of
''The Light on the Lookout" in
which she appears IN The stellar
role. The subject is an open-afr
two-reeler, during the action of
which Miss Shipman introduces
many of her menagerie pets. The
scenic aspects Of the production
are excellent.
The bill is further augmented
by abbreviated camera subjects
with pipe organ accompaniment
and solo interludes.
