KEITH'S-FIorenc ODenishawn.

An eXceHent Dill Is oIered lnlS week
at Keith's.
Ruth st. Denis and Ted Shawn, is
the topliner, in dancing and singing
act. that carries the proVerbial punch
with the remarkable beauty of the
star and her nimhle toes. Miss Flor
ence is doubtless proud of her perfect
figure. and, as in The Music Box
Revue" leaves little to the ima gina
ton. There is nothing of the please
give me your applause" in the turn,
She goes through her work as though
she enjoys it and with the assurance
that the audience must be delighted.
Nelson Snow and Charles Columbus,
who assist Miss Denishawn in the big
revue, appear in different numbers,
and are experts in their line. The trio
furnishes entertainment that is appre-
ciated, and We're rewarded with the
most enthusiastic plaudits as well as
a half dozen curtain calls at the finale.
1.-The Meistersingers," like Tenny-
sons Brook" apparently go on for
ever. These veterans sing right now
as well as they did as stars or sub
stars in the big opera com panies 20
years ago. Harold Trip and Frank
Field are heard to splendid advantage
in beautiful songs, while the organiZa-
tons singing in unison makes big
hit.
Stella Mayhew's voice is not of the
cultivated variety, but she manages
to put over a couple of character dit
, ties that are Screams. She carries un-
limited pep all through her work
and pleased everybody so much that
she had to beg off with the excuse
that she is "only a beginner" and
hardly deserved her big reception,
which hung up an additional laugh.
Roth and Drake open the show with
a novel athletic turn, the formers
work on the flying rings being clever.
Galla-Rini, in musical act, is un-
usually pleasing. He plays almost
every musical instrument, and plays
it well. He is assisted by two clever
girls. Lorin Raler and company pre-
sent a sketch entitled "The Contradic-
tion,' that is funny and creates much
laughter. Another hilarious act is
that of Miller and Mack. the former
a good eccentric comedian and both
excellent dancers. The skating revue
of Reynolds and Donegan that closes
the regular program kept everybody
in their seats until the end, and the
house attractions complete the pro-
gram.
EARLE-Meroff's "High Hatters."
Ben Meroff and his High Hatters'
head the bill at the Earle Theater this
week in an entertainment that is well
worth seeing. Not only do they furnish
plenty of music, but intermingle 1t
with clownfng that brings many
laughs. Ben, himself, is quite an
adept in the fantastic. Throughout,
the bill is good.
Rose Perfect, billed as Americas
Nightingale, has an exceptionally
good voice, and sings popular modern
as well as old-time selections. Ray
Shannon and Bobby Van Horn in a
new skit, THE Top Floor" have a long
chatter of amusing quips, and Frank
Hunter and company, in Moving
Days" furnish a comedy sketch
that was appreciated by the large
audiences yesterday. Brad Sutton and
Marguerite Spencer give able support
in this number. The Richards present
a sleight-of- hal nd number togetherswith
shadowgraphs, and Jim Diamond and
Sibyl Brennan have sketch, Some
thing for Sale"

PAPER HEADS MOVE
FOR BRYAN SHRINE
Philadelphia Record Fro
poses Daniels as Head of
National Drive.
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA August 24.-The
Philadelphia Record has taken the in
itiatiVe in forming a committee to
finance and erect a national memo
rial to William Jennings Bryan. The
Record solicitS the support of citizens
and newspapers throughout the Ma
tion and names as the prospective
chairman of the committee Josephus
Daniels, publisher of the Raleigh
News and Observer, Secretary of the
Navy in President Wilson's cabinet
and a firm friend Of the great Com
moner. The Record says:
Mr.. Bryan will be remembered
without any formal reminder of his
achievements, for his influence upon
the lives of his fellow citizens; for his
long, ardent and untiring defense of
the rights Of the common people
against the encroachments Of privi-
lege; for his vigorous PRONUNCIATION Of
the social precept finally embodied in
the eighteenth amendment; for his
earnest advocacy of peace, and for his
militant stand, at the climax of life
fraught with critical moments in be-
half of Christianity as he interpreted
1t against what he conceived to be the
attacks of science.
These things will be recalled, we
say, long after his errors have been
forgotten. The beneficent influence
of the man, his earnestness of pur-
pose, his miraculous sway over some
millions of his fellow citizens. are
some facts that must be recognized
even by those who do not agree with
his political or social theories or en-
tertain his religious convictions. He
was a great American.
Thinks Dayton Plan Wrong.
THE Record has observed reports
from Tennessee of a movement to
found there. as a memorial to Mr.
Bryan, college dedicated to oppos-
ing the theories of evolution.
"Such a movement, unless it is in
tended to be merely of local character,
would be an egregious mistake
"Unquestionably, the services of Mr..
Bryan to his countrymen should be
recognized by the erection of a ma
tional memorial-not to Bryan the
fundamentals, to Bryan the prohi-
bitionist, or to Bryan the Democrat
but TO Bryan the fearless crusader, to
Bryan the statesman. 1t should not
be a narrow, bigoted tribute from any
group, clique or clan; it should be an
ail-embracing expression of the senti-
ment of the country, to the financing
and erection of which all Americans
big enough to recognize strength of
character, exceptional ability and
dogged persistence in obeying the die
tates Of conscience, whether they be
political friends or foes, may con-
tribute

close friend of the late William Jen.
nings Bryan. when informed of the
proposal Of the Record that he become
chairman of committee to finance
and erect national memorial to the
Commoner.
II am very much gratified that
great paper like the Record has taken
the initiative said Mr.. Daniels, land
I feel sure that the press of the coun-
try as whole, of all political creeds,
will be glad to further any wise move
ment for suitable memorial to Mr..
Bryan"
Mr.. Daniels said number of friends
had asked him if he would accept the
chairmanship of national committee
organized for the purpose of erecting
n memorial to the Commoner. and he
stated that he thought such a me
mortal should be undertaken, and that
he was willing to render any assist
ance he could.

melodies, lghtning-fast jazz hits and
all kinds of limitations from the
strings. Pierlet and Scofield score in

, Billy Foster, operating behind his

makes his most inane remarks anus
