KEfTH'S-
Benny Leonard

A good time was had by all at
keith's yesterday. which marked
the Inauguration Of the annual
II. v. "A. week.
The audience was given a pleas
ant surprise during the course OF
Jim McWilliams' act when this
'pfanutist" called Brooke Johns
to the stage, Mr.. Johns having
journeyed down from New York
TO be with the audience last night.
1t was a great reunion.
Mr.. McWilliams proved to be
the unqualified comedy hit Of the
evening on the regular bill. He
possesses q wonderful stage per-
sonality. His act consists mostly
OF starting to sing or play and
then changing his mind, but the
few brief snatches he does man
age to get on the piano makes
one wish that he would really
play ~oore.
A novelty for, American audiences
is furnished by The Royal STA
mese Entertainers, a troupe i'm
ported from Siam. They present
rafive dances TO the accompani-
ment of a native Siamese or
chestra. Princess Mon Luang Sud
Chitra is the feature dancer. I
am barred from any comment on
the dancing by the fact that ]
wouldn't know good Siamese dane
~ il saw 1t. It is utterly diff
ferent but probably more beauti-
full than some OF our ballroom
pastures.
An exhibition of Takraw, the
national game of Siam. is given,
which shows high skill on the
part of the players. 1t is enough
to make an American juggler
turn green with envy.
Irene Ricardo proved a hit with
her skit, whoa Pagliacci." She
responded to number OF encores,
always managing to leave the
audience laughing.
Benny Leonard, the lightweight
boxing champion Of America. is
presented in a sketch with George
Mayo and Charlie Marsh. Mr..
Leonard does ve~-- well and his
methods for retaining that girl
ish figure will doubtless hold the
interest Of every woman who goes
to Keith's this week.
Ted and Kathryn Andrews offer
a colorful and artistic dance revue.
Frederick Cromwell does quite a
good job at the piano. A woman
wire walker who uses neither
'----Nrella nor pole is Michua, the
Brazilian wonder" This lady
is the best wire walker we have
seen so far in our allotted num-
Der of days.
Jack Hewitt and Fred Hall are
heard in a number Of songs,
modern and otherwise The He'd
leys conclude the bill with a
series Of acrobatic stunts, cleverly
staged. The usual film features
are shown. W. 3.

Buster Keaton'h latest effort

and yet it is most unKeatonish
in a way; that is, the hero wears
a honest-to- goodness regulation
suit and eschews the flat trick
hat. Seven Chances" current
at the Palace, Is cranIned with
action, the comedy runs thin at
spots, but there are high points
that amply repay. The film is
unique for a. comedy in that
there is little incidental by:play,
almost every action bearing di-
rectIy on the main theme.
- The I play is farcicaI to- an e1-
IRENE. but this element allows
the presentation of some side split
ting situations. Therei is one scene
where the production reaehes al

thing can be said of a farce.
This is where the hero, befng
pursued by several score Of dig
appointed would-be. brides, cllases
Gown long, long hillside with

METROPOLITAN
Jackie COOgan

Jackie Coogan is growing UP.
Never was the fact more evident
than it is at the Metropolitan this
week., where his latest picture,
'"The Rag Man." is the BIG Of
fering. The story, written by
Willard Mack, resembles some
what previous vehicles Of this
child, but, nevertheless, serves to
exploit the fascinating talent Of
the boy the world Of pictures
knows and loves. But, as surely
as his name is Jackie, the time
is on the way when it must be-
come Jack, and that childish bob
give way to matured cutting.
"The Rag Man" Is comedy,
starting with a fire in an orphans
home and ending happily on the
golf links. The firm Of Glnsberg,
junk dealer, Is somewhat of a
failure until Kelly, none other
than young Coogan, comes along,
and, winning the heart of the old
Jew peddler, joins the firm and
makes OF it a business and finan-
cial success. Also, through the
persistent efforts Of the bov. the
old Jew comes into an accumu.
lated fortune, made by an inven.
ton which was stolen from him
previous to the opening Of the
story. There is pathos, too. and
human interest, in fact ali the
elements that go to make up a
real good picture. Jackie Is al.
ways, OF course, in the fore
ground, with splendid cast.
headed by Max Davidson and
Robert Edeson, as q backeroun.
The scenes are most realistic.
especially the exteriors.
1t is interesting to note the
remarkable advancement made by
Jackie since The Kid" Where
IN that picture he displayed the
unusual natural talents of a mere
child, we now have him the actor
with finish and poise to his
work which would do credit to
more mature6 luminaries.

EARLE
Vaudeville

With the Dolly Davis Revue
in the lead and everything else
on the program pushing strong
for second place. the vaudeville
bin at the Earle proves to be
one of the best the new theater
has presented.
The Camille Trio opened the
program with wild act in which
they all but wrecked the entire
layout Of bars on which they later
performed In a manner quite un-
usual.
They were followed by Rose and
Bunny Brill, who had an act that
had one outstanding fault. IT was
too short If left to the audience,
the two girls would have stayed
indefinitely.
Gladys Buckridge and Rlly
Casey contributed to the cause
with n nice number that en-
braced some very good singing
and dancing that was no less
pleasing.
Athol Tier. with his grotesque
dancing and clever comedy work,
nut the oddities Of '25" over

was Janet of France in a
piquant musical p1avlet entitled
"A Little Touch Of Paris"' The

Davis Revue embraced everything
the old time minstrel show ever
had. and then added a little more.

1'The Last Laugh

There are some great things
which beggar appraisal by the
average mind. Any critic Of mo-
ton pictures mot to say that they
all have average mindsD must feel
this, after seeing. The Last
Laugh" Germany's greatest con-
tribution to screen, which makes
some of our own machine-made
films look appallingly cheap.
This wonderful picture is show
ing at the Rialto Theater this
week, under the auspices OF Carl
Laemmle.
You have heard so much in adj
vance of ''The Last Laugh" that
it is scarcely worth while to give
a detailed account of the plot.
The plot is this:
An aging hotel carriage -starter
is deposed from his job and sent
to work in the lavatory. His
splendid coat is taken away from
him. His neighbors scorn him:
But where is the love interest,
you ask? Isn't there any hero
inc? No jazz? There isn't any.
But there is a happy ending,
thrust upon the picture in such an
ingratiating way that 1t is both
welcome and enjoyable. There
are quiet thrills, suspense and
comedy. More than all else, there
is humanity.
Emil Jannings, towers above the
others In the cast hlze.4a giant
among pygmies. In s'The Last
Laugh" he gives one Of the
greatest characters to the silent
drama. There are other good &C.
tors in the picture, but their
names. would mean nothing to
you.
The photography has seldom, IL
ever been equalled. There are
no subtitles, and most of the ac-
ton is not carried on by words,
but by pantomime. It is seldom,
indeed, that we see any important
bit in 1.-THE Last Laugh" wherein
the lips are moving in speech.

being brought to Hollywood,
Hollywood needs him.

are excellent. The program opens
