KEITH'S-Johnny Dooley's "Tiptop
Revue"

Manager Roland Robbins has pro-
vided a fine show for the visiting
Macabees this week at Keiths.
tJohnny Dooley and his "Tiptop Re-
vue"are the headliners, and the offer
ing Is away above the average as to
novelty, pep and pretty costumes.
The remainder of the bill, however. is
such as to compel the clever comedian
to 60 some to retain the leading hon.
ors. Dooley's host Of friends were on
hand and gave him a warm greeting,
and the little fellow, by way of ac-
acknowledgement, turned in all his comi-
cal tricks with great success. Doc.
ley has picked several performers
from the New York revues and his
little sketches are interspersed with
enjoyable dancing and singing A half
dozen curtain calls rewarded Dooley
and his company and he seemed very
proud of his hit.
An offering similar. but not so elab-
crate, Is presented by William Sully
and Genevieve Houghton, in a musical
playlet entitled Arms and the Girl. "
Sully Is one of those clean-cut, nice
comedians. always wearing a smile.
and it is doubtful if there is better
dancer in vaudeville. Miss Houghton
is nice TO look at, a good fell for
Billy and in addition sings very well.
The scenery, depicting the foreground
of a military academy. is elaborate
and makes the act impressive. Sully
stopped the show for a couple of min
utes, and finally begged off.
To those who love high class sing
ing, Leonard Del Credo and Jeanne
Palmer offer a treat They have eX-
cellent voices and Miss Palmer espe-
cially one of rare sweetness. La F'leur
and Portia open the show with a con-
tertion act. Nate Leipsig follows with
card tricks that are mystifying and
entertaining The we'll known musical
clowns, Henry and John Arnaut,
score their usual big hit; Charley Ir-
win has lot Of new stories and jokes,
and the Greenwich Village Models
pose as beautiful statuettes. Aesop
Fables, the Pathe News and Current
Topics complete the bill.
EARLE-BostOck's Riding School.
"A series of entertaining vaudeville
acts, including good acrobatics, fair
singing and comedy and a good mo-
tion picture, constitute the program
at the Earle Theater this week.
Deserving of special mention also
are the ool-Reilly-Murray trio
who appear in an Irish song number:
and Tuck and Ginnis, in Look What
Nature Has Done" which comprises
contortionist stunts and good aero
battles. Bostock's Riding School
which features Lillian st. John in an
Interesting novelty number, entitled
How Circus Riders are Made" gives
one an insight as to how circus
riders are developed. Three horses
are made to gallop methodically
aorund the stage TO furnish the
means for the riding. Much comedy
and clowning also are injected in the
act.
Other acts include 1.-The Love Bur
glar," featuring Fred Jarvis and
Freddie Harrison, which has much
comedy, and Sully and Mack as the
Great Lovers" in a sketch which
furnishes good laugh.

rted a good-for.nothing individual,
whose character she discovers the
same day and leaves him. Sub
sequently she is loaned money, by
rich friend. to study music abroad
Eventually the husband is shot and
she marries the friend who had loaned
her the money. Mabel Ballin is the
heroine. She is supported by Forrest
Stanley and George Ander Beranger.

Dfogram.
