Gayety-" Record Breakers

The Gayety Theater has opened its
doors for the season of 1924-25 with
new manager. a practically new in
terror decoration scheme and brand
new show. under the management Of
Jack Reid. Col. Sam Dawson is the
new manager, who takes over the du-
ties formerly intrusted to that popu.
lar little fellow. Harry Jarboe. Col
Dawson starts his new undertaking
with the intention of making the
Gayety as popular with the women
folks as it has been with the men,
and the show with which he opens
this week Is a fine start in that di
rection.
The Record Breakers" is a pretty
show, in fact, borders on the spec
tacular in it's scenic and ensemble
settings. and it offers a variety OF en-
tertainment. ranging from clever
aggregation Of "girly" entertainers
prime requisite in burlesque show
TO specialties in singing, dancing,
comedy and, topping them all. an ami
NAL act that is both clever and conf
cal.
Reid does not occupy the stage for
any great length of time, just giving
little turn that won for him the
title of the Info Kid" the remainder
of the show being in capable hands.
including Helena Myles. a pretty and
charming young girl; Kitty Warren,
soubrette; Helen Kay Booth, prima
donna: Olive De Clair, Rose Sharon.
Joe Lang, a juvenile with a good
voice; Sid Rogers, comedian; Joe Me-
limo. a clever pantonimist, and Billy
Cumby. The most popular Of the male
performers last night was Billy Cum
by, in black face, one of the clevereSt
in his line on the Columbia circuit.
An acrobatic sketch by the La Pa
Tomas introduced difficult tumbling,
and the animal act by Nine. Berzack's
Royal Circus is a show in itself An
other feature is a series of living pic
lures, entitled '"The Sculptor's
Dream" produced by Johaan FRANKS.
The scenery is fresh from the paint
ers brush and rather pleasing to the
eye. The chorus has been selected
for its ability to sing and dance and
ranks high in both.

Many good things are to be found
IN this weeks program at keith'S,
ranging from good vocal selections to
startling athletic features. Ben Ber-

Gays, has come back with an eXcep-
tfonally clever band OF musicians. and
when the audience is not laughing at
the leaders ouips and jokes, it is
applauding the selections. chiefly
popular airs, played by the organi-
zation. Jazz selections predominant.
but the sweetness with which several
straight airs were played. won the
greatest approval Of the audience.
Bernies consistent laugh-producer
comes from his request program"
when he announces one selection and
then plays something else. At least a
dozen encores encouraged Bernie to
keep going but he finally begged off

Dolly Connolly. the girl with a
pleasing personality is the added
attraction. and she scored a big hit
with the audience. She has always
been favorite in this city. With the
assistance of Percy Wenrich. COM
poser of popular airs. the act went
over with a telling punch, but the
final curtain was not allowed to fall
without the singing of that pretty
little number entitled, I'm Five and
Ten Cent Store" 1t brings back
memories of when she first met her
husband on the front page of sheet
of music.
Washington's noted basso, Charles
Trowbridse Tittmann, was heard in
special selections of high-class and
popular songs. Mr.. Tittmann has
achieved d national reputation dur
ing the past eight years. and a large
number OF his friends were on hand
TO give him a hearty welcome home.
He is accompanied by George Dixon
Thompson, the we'll known concert
pianist.
A newcomer to this section Of the
vaudeville circuit turned up in Fred
Ardath, a comedian OF original meth
ods, who kept the audience roaring
over; an impersonation that We'd with
the startling work of Leon Erol. Earl

for the comedian, and the act scored

Youth at seventeen, ardent impetu-

ashen shell-youth, ah, who has not
been there, and Suffered--and now
looks back, to laugh.
Booth Harrington caught it, this
evanescent tremor of the seventeen
age. He imprisoned it between book
covers, but could not hold it there.
1t burst the covers into motion pic
lures and last night opened as "Sev-
enteen' for a week at the Shubert
BelaSco. one of the sweetest comedy
classics that ever graced the stage.
with truly youthful and able COM
pany directed by Everett Butterfield.
Donald Gallaher is the youth. AS
Willie SylvanuS Baxter who hates to
be called willie" by his own folks,
but allows a baby talk lady" to rouse
his calf love with the manly title Of
''ickle boy Baxter" Gallaher proves
he can be right at home. He Is i'm
mense.
The "baby talk lady," a difficult
role. is we'll presented by attractive
Miss Hazel Jennings, formerly Of this
city, who makes her first appearance
this week with the players at the
Belasco. AS Miss Lola Pratt she fires
the love of all the village youths with
her honeyed babbling, and nearly
drives Baxter from his senses.
Genesis, the colored servant, stands
out as one of the real character parts
of the show, as played by the finish
ed actor, Everett Butterfield. Miss
Mildred L. Menow is excellent as
f"'Willie's" mother, and his father is
{ given a realistic delineation by Ar
thur J. Rhodes.
Harry Irving. as a pal Of Willie,
gives one of the natural impersona-
tions Of the evening. and George Gar
rott, as the strutting George Crooper,
is good.
Perhaps the FLAMING Youth" of
tooay is more brazen and bold than
Tarkington's Seventeen" but this
rollicking little play. which reused
scores of laughs from a sympathetic
audience last night, may safely be
predicted as of such universal truth
as to live long in the memory. 1t Is
indeed a credit to the policy which
makes for the wholesome and enjoy
able in entertainment against all
odds.

Poll "FireAv."

Otto Hauerbach and Rudolph
Friml's delightful operetta, "Firefly,"
with which. in days gone by, the
famous petite Trentini won the
hearts of America, was given a re-
vfval at Polls last evening by the De
Wolf Hopper Comic Opera Company.
and marks one of the highest spots
in it's successful career. 1t made its
present day audience fairly enthusi-
astic.
Time was when "Firefy" meant
Trentini and no one else. And yet a
comely singer with a beautiful and
sympathetic voice who Is known to
tho world theatrical simply as Olivotti
melted into the role of the little
street singer and shared the honors
in it even with Trentini, in the
judgment of those who still remem-
ber the little Italian of years ago.
She scored her first big success in
the typically Trentini song, Love is
Like Firefly," but her audience
fairly capitulated when she sang
with exquisite beauty the famous
ballad "Giannina Mia" Her success
continued to the end, never abating
for a moment, and 1t was unmis-
taxable in Fritzi Scheff's famous old
song, Kiss Me Again." which was
doubtless interpolated for her. But
it was not only in her singing, but
reproduction of the little street sin
ger whom Trentini made famous,
that Olivottf found outlet for her fine
talents, while even Mr.. Hopper him
self seemed to take recess at times
from his amusing characterization Of
the nervous and hypochondriacal secre-
tary to admire her.
1.-The Beautiful Ship From Toyland,"
sung by Herbert Waterous and q
double quintet, was another exquisite
gem. as also was Mr.. Duny's one solo.
"A Woman's Smile" A dainty bit of
exquisite grace was developed by
Dawn Maynard, as Suzette, the maid.
Henry Kelly both sang and acted
well the role OF Pietro, the valet;
Herbert Waterous gave fine charac-
terization in the role Of Papa Franz,
the choirmaster; Ethel Walker made
a sweet Geraldine. David Bogart an
excellent hurdy gurdy man and Sarah
Edwards q sufficiently aristocrattc
mamma to Geraldine.
De Wolf Hopper is, Of course, very
much in evidence as the secretary,
and his curtain speech was by far
the most amusing and best of his en-
tire unique series. He Is always
amusing and entertaining because he
never forgets to be intelligent and a
gentleman in spite Of the ludicrous
comedy parts he plays Indeed. he is
immense at taking a minor role and
making 1t stand out like a brigadier
general, so that he is always in the
picture and always real source OF
innocent merriment."
"Firef1y" is the simple story of a
sweet singing street gamin who dons
a boys disguise to accompany a
fashionable yachting party to the
Bermudas and succeeds in winning
for hArself the prospective husband OF
ono Of tho fair daughters, after be-

 Both provinces are inhabited chief ly by Moros and Governor Gen. Wood claimed that conditions demanded the appointment of men whose experience assured order.

 Likely in "Next War;
ar The Associated Press.

Paris, Apg. 22.-Poison gas holds all its old war terrors but the buga- boo of microbes is not an imminent Ganger, according to the report of tht League of Nations subcommittee ap' pointed by the temporary mixed com- mission for the reduction of arma- ments to consider the progress Tn chemical warfare so as to warn the world what war really means.
 The sub committee, composed of viscount Robert Cecil, Admiral Au- brey Smith, General DeMerinis and Colonel Reguin, drafted the report which will be submitted at Geneva but was published here today.
 The report was based largely on de- tailed statements given the sub-com- mittee by the leading chemical experts of the world, including Professors An dre Mayer of the College of France, Angelo Angelli of the Royal Institute of Florence, Jules Borget of the Pas tour Institute of Brussels, Walter Bradford Cannon of Harvard, Senator Paterno of the University of Rome, ana J. EUTl1uBS LdHItltl VI lHS V hiT versity of Columbia. They agreed in general that microbes were too diffi- cult to spread and that preventives were too adequate to- make bacterlol- logical warfare a menace of the near future.
 Poison gases, however, the compos- ite report of the experts opinions says. have increased from 30 known at the outbreak of the war to 1,O0O; but, fortunately, nothing more effi- c.ent than the 30 has yet been discov- cred.
 Nevertheless, Professor Cannon re- ported We saw nothing during the last war comparable to the probable destruction of industrial centers and the massacre of civil populations Tn the event another important conflict occurs"
