BAND UP

We went down to the Earle yes

instruments In all sorts or queer
manners and postures, to be some
what OF an acrobat, a quick
change artist, clown and arough
and tumble fighter. We have yet
to see a jazz band that compares
with it for versatility. Meroff
himself, is as versatile as Joe
Cook. He is q good musician and
an excellent dancer and his gang
is as funny as the Four Marx
Bros, and there are more Of them.
As an example of their pranks

his kettle drums about the stage.
The act closes with "a wow

There are a few other bright
spots in this weeks bill. Rose
Perfect, the American nightingale,
has an unusually sweet voice and
sings without much effort a pleas

presence and is very nice indeed
to look upon.
,sMoving Day" with Frank
Hunter and company is an up

the program.
The feature film is the Awful

adjective awful is q good one to
describe the picture. Agnes Ayres

the production, and 1t Is one OF
the most spectacular sights ever
put on the screen, so far as this
reviewer knows. 1t is real. No

this and the same effect could
not have been obtained with them.
Scenes taken on the burning ship
are extremely thrilling.
The story is a romantic one,
