FEATURE MUSIC
ON WASHINGTON
ROOF

Brooke Johns is back in his
home town with that smile, the
banjo working full force and
with his own orchestra of okla
homa Collegians. A limited en-
gagement in the newly opened
Hotel Washington Roof Garden
commencing Wednesday evening,
June II. will terminate with
Brooke's departure for Europe to
succeed Tied" Lewis as purveyor
of mirthful melody at the world
famous Kit Kat Klub of Lon
don.
Since his last engagement here
Johns has been basking in the
bare of Broadway and enVirons.
At his last stopping place-New-
ark--he and his orchestra were
the hit Of the town. His only
handicap has been an ingroWn
modesty that has him firmly con-
WINGED that he cannot play a
banjo.
Brooke insists that it keeps him
fretting over the frets for fear
he will forget one of his chords
and have to play 1.-THE Lost
Chord" or be out of luck! Popu-
lar sentiment seems to be to the
contrary, however.
With Brooke Johns at the
Hotel Washington Roof Garden
will appear his Oklahoma Col.
legians Orchestra-an octet of un-
usually versatile musicians ac-
complishad on an aggregate Of
thirty-five instruments! Each of
these musicians is from Olciaho-
ma and all are college men.

THE SHER WOODS,
THEMSEI. YES A
WHOLE SHOW

should all the other acts on
i the bill fail to arrive, Gale and
Bob Sherwood, and their group
of twelve entertainers, who are
featured at B. f. Keith's next
week, could put on the whole
show.
These versatile folks are max
ing their first appearance IN
vaudeville. But they have heen
playing the large moving picture
houses through the West, where
they have frequently STAYED as
long as six months at a time in
the same house, offering a differ.
ent sketch every week. They
have appeared with such artists
as Dorothy Jardon, Bessie Clay
ton and Ciccolini. With Dor
otfy Jardon they produced two
sketches, the first an old fash
toned southern skit called "CrinO-
line Days. in blackface, and the
second a Spanish act, featuring
Miss Jardon's Carmen selections.
The Sherwoods have made a
speciality of developing young tai
ent. They have con1bed the coun-
try for boys who could sing and
dance and play parts. Their
troupe is gathered from all parts
of the United States. One OF the
girls is a Californian and another
comes from Denver.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherwood first
met in the moving picture bust
ness where both were singers.
They put on a double act, each
playing a grand piano and sing
ing novelty songs between the
pictures. Then they. added a
drummer, who was also a dancer.
and the Sherwood duo became a
trio. A cornettist made it a
quartet and gradually one after
another has been added until The
Sherwoods became known as one
of the real entertaining aggrega-
tions in the West.

Mr.. Gaige was born in mi
croscopic settlement about eight
cen miles from Syracuse which
is known as Nelson in the post
office list here in Washington,
but which has never been called
anything except Skunk Hollow
by any inhabitant. It contains
thirty-eight houses and, accord
ing to Mr.. Gaige, always will
contain that exact number. He
seems to be the only person ever
born there who has passed out
beyond its encircling rim OF
hills into what is sometimes re-
ferred to as "the great world.
After graduating from a
Methodist academy as q prepa-
ration for college, he determined
to enter Columbia University.
In order to earn enough money
to decently start, he and
chum moved as close to New
York as Poughkeepsie during
the summer of 1899, and sold a
beautifully bound life of Christ
from door to door. This Melted
him $3.50, and with this initial
capital he. invaded the metfopo-
lis. passed his entrance exam
nations, and established himself
in what he himself describes as
"the cheapest boarding house in
Brooklyn and probably in the
entire United States"
He was determined to work
his way through the university
by newspaper work on the side,
but city editors were singulariy
cold to his advances, and he
never succeeded in getting be-
vond the office boy level on. a
single paper. For many weeks
he paid a daily visit at a stated
hour to the office of the New
York Times, each time sending
in different note charging
upon his capabilities as a posi-
bic college correspondent. This

Young Gillen, one gathers, was
picked up off the Hollywood lots
by King who was particularly
struck with his favorable char
acteristics and manner from a
movie standpoint. Gillen was
instant in his acceptance of the
King accolade. Incidentally, Hol-
lywood is not slow to point out
that King, like Griffith, Ingram
and other big outstanding direc-
tors, is no mean Jdiscoverer of
talent. He is credited with hav-

ever except cold and fornaal
shake of the head from the
custodian of the outer gate.
There arrived a morning when
he had exactly So cents IN nis
pocket. This time the note ne
sent in was a bit more eager ana
passionate than usual. 1t hap
pened that the night before the
CITY editor had had a humping
row with the football player who
had been covering the university
news for the paper. He was in
a receptive mood, therefore. and
he gave young Gaige chance
to make good on the. extravaganf
series OF promises which he had
made for a month past.
The records show that ne did
make good. AS a matter OF fact.
he proved to be quite the most
prolific and energetic correspond.
emit the paper had ever had on
washington Heights, and the
means saw him through his first
three years at the university.
During this time he made the
acquaintance of a classmate
named Roi Cooper Megrue. who
became his particular pal and
chum. At the beginning or their
fourth year they took over the
management of the University
Commons, the big restaurant
which fed more than 1000 stu
dents a day, and their interest In
their studies sadly Jagged. They
were too busy to go in much Tor
education. Gaige. in addition to
his work in the restaurant and
on the newspaper, was the editor
of the Columbia Spectator, which
he had transformed from tri-
weekly to a daily publication, and
Megrue was the editor Of
couple of other college publlca-
tions.

The Red Owl saloon set in this

it are seen renegade types of ali

The deliberately stocked bar is
also a feature, and there is shown
every sort of gambling device
known on the border. The large
piece of furniture that looks like
a grand piano with it's works

are also a stud poker table, rou-
