EEITH'S-BilIy II. Van.

Billy i. Van. one of the funniest
Comedians that ever faced the foot
lights, burlesqued around the b. +.
Keith'S Theater stage last night until
the audience almost went into hyS-
terics. Billy's clowning, however, is
merely one of the features of an alb
breviated musical revue that the
comedian and his company stage with
the assistance of Il major portion of
the other artists on the current bill.
Hello Central, screamingly

Billy and his partner, George lie
Marie, serves as an introduction to
The musical revue, which lacks only
the Slittering scenic effects to take
rank with some of the best musical
shows presented in Washington this
season. But the essence of entertain
ment is there and that's all the Keith
audience seemed to desire. Billy s
own company includes the Wood sis
ters, Jean Holt, the Trado Twins and
Frances Holiday, and for the musical
revue he draws on the talents of
many of his other colleagues on the
bill.

RIALTO-"Friend Enemies !"

Fans old and young wended their
way to the Rialto yesterday to greet
Lew Fields and Joe Weber, vener-
able comedians for half a century,
in their first screen appearance.
And they weren't disappointed.
Friendly Enemies is well adapted
to the needs of the old side partners
and their familiar buffeting bandying
and scrapping that has made their
career famous, for though they are
the dearest of friends, sharing ups
and downs. the heights and depths
together, they are always quarreling,
constantly diSagreeing.
The picture was taken from the
play by Samuel Shipman and Aaron
Hoffman, and George Melford, in the
direction, has added the little homely
touches. The action is laid in New
York City and the time is somewhere
in the stirring days of the World
War. The friendly enemies" are

stand out in bold contrast with the
rant trees which will surround the

scum when the will Of the late y. e.
Witte was filed for probate last week.

tinued as soon as the site is cleared.

to the south, from which it will be
almost impossible to dislodge them.
Their confidence in the sound basis
on which business is transacted in

having received reports that business
might not be up to standard here,
concentrated on other sections.

of their smokir- cars on the elevat-
ed, interurban and street railways
by women.
Protests from all quarters are be-
ing launched in the press. One
writer urges Une organization of
smokers society with the object of
instituting a general movement
against this infringement on their
rights. Attention is called to the
paradox that women, with a pro-
nounced and much advertised anti
pathy to smoke of every description,
invariably are to be found in
smoking car, enveloped in a blush
haze Of tobacco smoke, while the
inveterate smoker is condemned to
stand outside on the platform or,
which is much worse to sacrifice the
greater half of a perfectly good
cigar before entering non-smoker.
Old ladies are especially criticised
for their lack of tact. They are de-
scribed as pushing their way
through the densest crush by reas-
on of their age, and just as readily
finding a seat, but instead of being
duly grateful for the courtesy
shown them. they frequently remark
in the loudest stage-asides, how OBJ
iectionable they find smoke and al
ways have found it and that men
are not what they used to be.
At Oberammergau an interesting
anniversary IS being celebrated that

records show that George Lang who
founded the firm in IT'S, not only
was himself an expert wood carver,
but by business ability and his ex-
tensive commercial relations helped
Oberammergau greatly in the devel-
opment of it's wood working trade.
His sons, grand sons and later
descendants kept the firms reputa-
ton top notch so that Lang cruel
fixes, christ figures and other re-
ligious presentations still dre much

strong undertone Of defeat and sor-
row in the face of Davis and Lee is
absent from Jackson. His express
