EARLE
VaudcvilIe-FiIms.

The Earle keeps up its reputa-
ton. One Of two things seems
due for an early demise-our
conception Of the altruistic inten-
tons of theatrical managers or
our pet theory of finance. Time
will tell. In the meantime what
less can we do than take advan-
tage of more than we expected
for less.
This weeks collection Of good
acts almost battles discrimination.
However, as this inexperienced
eye sees them Shura Rulowa and
her Corps de Bafiet in Dance
advertisements" and the Texas
Four in "Easin' . Along Ozin'
Melodies" struggle FOR first place
Shura Rulowa is in herself a
terpischorean triumph, while her
enchanting Corps ae Ballet would
make a vivid illustration for that
famous Mullens product. Youth,
beauty and ability are their
claims.
The Texas Four are possessed
Of pleasing voices and a goodly
quality Of humor. Their offering
ranges through a negro minstrel
and a burlesque of New York's
strap-hanging suDwayists' to an
infringement upon the light art of
aesthetic cavorting. They are re-
leased unwillingly.
A musical farce entitled 1.-The
Love Boat" featuring Earle
Cavanaugh and Al Lester is we'll
taken while Viola RudeIl and Ed
ward DUNCAN with their non
sensical palaVer and song in
Musical Comedy Revuettes" call
forth some good laughs. Meehan
and Shannon in "A Cup of Tea"
have some good points.
Completing the vaudeville pro-
gram is a playlet entitled Com
Elements of the Season." Jimmy
Ryan IN a crook rofe does good
work but Bobby Gal needs a
checking rein-her acting is too
unrestrained. Otherwise good.

RIALTO-

From the perturbation of Bar

i Rialto, we learned yesterday that
roses apparently bloom all seasons
in Maryland; that General Stone
WALL Jackson wore plumeS on his
campaign hat: that director will
still wave Old Glory in your face
for applause and that Maryland
seeded from the Union.
The picture is about as artistic
as a ten-cent Autograph depicting
Our Martyred Presidents and the
Latest Addition to Uncle Sans
Powerful Fleet. For five reels
the director uses all the hokum
known to filmdom to make the
audience weep, and then, to send
one home happy, he resurrects
the hero. who had apparently
been dead for several hours; the
heroine, apparently shot through
the heart and preparing to die
on her dead lovers breast, is
miraculously healed; you are
transported suddenly to the STIR
ing days of the World War and
see the doughboys storming an
outpost while the stage smoke
rolls. The fluttering flag blots
out this scene and through it

PALACE
Agnes Ayres.

The Second of Paramount's "Fa-
nous Forty" special super pic
tures-or spectacles, maybe super
pectacles-brought Agnes Ayres
to the Palace yesterday, in the role
of Thoroughly suspicious but low
ing wife. Tomorrow Love-" in
which Miss Ayres makes believe
Pat O'Malley is Mr.. Ayres, stacks
up as an excellent program pic
ture, with a new and interesting
angle on divorce, a grandmother,
essayed by Ruby Lafayette, anus
ing in that she is Shavian in phil
osCphy, but Goldbergian in her
verbal antics.
Miss Ayres has not been given q
better vehicle by Paramount for a
long. long while, and as the wife,
tCrmented by weak faith she
gallops along the emotional and
cCmedic race-course, breaking out
in a veritable orgy of clothes.

Paramount could do no better than
to give her the best that the
scenario marts afford. She needs
little in the way of decorations to
assist her. Give her story and
the rest is safe with her.
In "TomorroW's Love" the
theme has been drafted from "In-
terlocutOry" magazine yarn
that carries with it a peculiar
angle on divorce. Mrs. Stanley,
the woman characterized by Miss
Ayres, is not sure of her mate.

IA PRIZE WEEK IN

'ALLS

kEITH'S-
Banner Bin.
The committee on awards for
the best vaudeville acts at
Keith's Theater this week is, to
be brief, in doubt.
Through the long hours sup
posed to be reserved for slum-
Der, the judges labored over the
framing of their decision. Be.
tween ballots, the judges played
stud poker. 1t didn't help much.
And now, much in the spirit
of Homer Cummings present
ing the Democratic platform to
that memorable convention, the
judges offer their report:
First prize goes to the Timberg
Brothers, if they are brothers
Herman and Sammy: to Herman
because he is an accomplished
violinist, dancer and comedian,
and because he was the spirit be-
hind Samfny's revue, THE Re
bellion'; to Sammy. because he
is an excellent foil for his brother,
in Herman's. act, and because his
little revue is a novel conception
and well performed, with the aid
of Leo Chalzel, Virginia Roche,
Sonia Meroff, William Pike and
the Survivors Orchestra.
There's another first prize, be-
cause it can't be a second prize,
and the judges take especial pleas
ure in pinning it on Ted Healy,
who is one OF the funniest stage
men we ever hope to see.
Healy runs away with the last
part of the bill. The last act,
billed as "Syncopating Toes. is
a pretty surprise, and is dominat-
ed by the out-at-heels comedian.
he is assisted by Betty Healy.
two dancers and two supporting
comedians, whose names are not
listed, but all are remarkably
good
Second prize goes jointly to.
Lily Morris, the latest comedy inn
portation from England; to Pep
ito, the Spanish clown, who, how
ever, has yet to learn that it is
not necessary to be quite SO gro
tesque in the United States, and
to Lew Murdoch and Mildred
Mayo, whose cake-eater dance
DIOuSI1L uOWA the 1uI1 house.
Miss Morris is clever comedy
singer. Pepito' is resourceful and
assisted by pretty Rosita and a
toreador, who play La Paloma"
on comets. Murdoch and Mayo
look like youngsters. The girl
is pretty and graceful. The boy
has very long and twisty legs.
After long arguments, the
judges decided that the Kismet
Sisters and company, the Pathe
News with eclipse pictures and
the Aesop's Fables should be
grouped as one, and given special
second prizes.
Third prize-the judges are very
sorry, but there aren't any more
acts! A third prize goes begging
on this bill. It is just about the
biggest load of entertainment
Keith's has carried for a long
time.-J. r.

If they hurt that little girl

the white Coffin" says Mere
Colline, and the import of that
threat seeps all over Paris for
the little girl comes home from
the jury room, acquitted and
unscathed, in time to rescue the
Rat from lunacy.
The scenes are laid in Mont
martre. A handsome devil and
an utterly worthless one is the
Rat; an inconstant nibbler at
the hearts of the ladies who
cross his path and strong man
when it comes to piling them in
stray corners like so many bags
of cornmeal.
The Rat nurses an honest
affection for little Odile, quite
wholesome flower to be bloom
ing in such environment and she
is quite mad about him as a
boy friend; but neither confesses
the affection until a bad, bad
baron enters one door and a
naughty lady the other. These
entrances occasion considerably
more confusion than the Incl
dental passing of Mr.. PIN. The
little underworld becomes ac-
tually disrespectable, ending in
the sudden dispatch of the
baron, who catches cold when a
knife under his floating rib lets
in a draught.
The Rat shrieks out his guilt,
but he's another Bernie Kaplan
and no one believes him. Odile
takes the blame and shortly
after that Nine. Colline utters
those immortal words about
they're ''bein' hell to pay" if the
gendarmes so much as crul their
mustaches at the little girl.
Horace Braham handles the
flamboyant Rat role in mighty
fine fashion. Few could help
running amuck in it, calling as
it does for ever-changing emo
tions and a sobbing bit that was
excellently done, if you don't

CHICAGO, October 1.-THE Ameri-

ing ground rent and labor costs figure
In the deposition of the American
Beauty. 1t requires one-third more
ground space and produces but half as
many roses for the same amount of
work as its usurper. the Premier.
Chicago owes its position as the
leading cut-fower center to the er-
fccts of Lake Michigan and to rail
facilities. The lake produces, for hot
house purposes. "a comparatively high
humidity and fairly even tempera-

AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE DEPOSED
AS MOST POPULAR CUT FLOWER
Premier, Constant Bloomer, Takes Place of Old Fa-
vorite, Due to Possibility of More Economic
Culture, Chicago Florists Reveal at Display.

| Another development Of the Fall is
a campaign to educate public taste In
| cut flowers to fit more nearly with
Mother Natures rules. by popularizing
| certain flowers at liked seasons. The
campaign includes chrysanthemums
| for THANKSGIVING, lilies for Easter and
| cyclamen and poinsettia for Christmas.
| So well developed are seasonal de-
mands already that the city has flower
specialists. greenhouses which raise
only one kind of blossom. There Is
one greenhouse which devotes its en-
tire million square feet to roses only.
The cyclamen is an example of
educating the public wants to a sea-
sonal flower. 1t is a domesticated
Alpine wildhower, which has become
holiday favorite. Mites have threaten
ed to shorten the cyclamen crop for
the coming Christmas.
Commercial Orchid Crop.
Chicago growers have the only whole
sale commercial orchid crop west OF
New York. There are 10000 orchid
plants in the Chicago area. divided
among three growers. These may pro-
duce about 10000 blossoms a year,
wholesaling for about 81 each. At
best an orchid plant produces one
blossom annually and their importa-
ton is now forbidden by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
1t is when Midwinter reaches its
peak and snow is deepest that the
Chicago cut flower shipments reach
their peak. Around the holiday sea
son the shipments run 100.Q00,000
blossoms a week. The flowers require
several tons of old newspapers daily
