WILL MAHONEY AND HIS
LILLE" MARCH TO VICTORY

Mister Will Mahoney and his
imaginary Lille" team up again at
Keith's to most astonishing results.
VIII is a one-man show. He starts
where some alleged singles" leave
OFF as a triumph
Mahoney is blessed with three Of
the greatest gifts; in the stage
world-real talent, individual per-
sonality and material that is mate
rial
He, develops a song. as nobody ever
thought that a song could be devel-
oped. His Lille" becomes a com
edy institution as he unbends yards
and yards of this song in every mood
from grand opera to hokum grand
Mahoney has a stage fall which
sure does have a climax and not
on it's end either. He works up this
fall until it becomes a vital part of
his Offering.
And how This man can dance.
His feet run riot. These sure are
comedy feet with talent. AS far as
I care this man could honestly yell
from the housetop that he is the
greatest one-man show in captivity
and I would shout the same thing
with him.
ask you not to be late in getting
TO your seat, as one Of the best acts
on the bill opens this weeks show
at Keith's. Am speaking of Jose
phine Chappelle and Harry Carlton.
Here are gymnastically inclined peo-
pie who do three great stunts entire
ly differently from anybody else. A
real act.
The third act of real merit, accord
ing to my way of thinking, is Har
riet Hector and William Holbrook
two dancers, who go in for both the
better and popular style of dancing
Miss Hector opens with her impress
sion of Mae Murray dancing the
Merry Widow waltz. Holbrook has
feet that are trained. He throws
wicked feet in 1.-THE Black Bottom
Dance" Entire act has class and
talent. 4
Am not so wild over the other acts
In all fairness to Nelson B. Clifford
and Marie Marion in Just Dumb, 7
the audience decided that this team
in their extreme comedy-nut stuff
was really funny. So much so that
those present mot including myself
insisted upon Clifford making a cur
tain talk yesterday afternoon. Am
going to let the audience in this in
stance have the last word. That's
fair.
Charles Derickson is a dramatic
tenor who is too dramatic to get
the best results. Probably Burton
Brown, pianist. is dramatic pianist
Continual volume is not art to me
and over drama in song is as bad as
not enough. Derickson has talent
no doubt as to that. but he should
study showmanship.
Willie. West and McGinty are back
again in House Builders" Act loses
novelty when repeated too often
Bert and Dolly Ryan make lots OF
noise. too much, with their ski dane
ing.

Tracy
New York, at Least, Was
Calm When Marie
Arrived.
By NJ. E. Tracy


Queen Marie's reception In New
York was fiat, colorless and dignified.
Thousands lined the streets along
which she passed, but maintained a
decorous silence, In all respects,
the people showed themselves, unaf-
fected by the press agent campaign
that has shriveled this royal visit to
the level of a five-ring circus.
If any one has strained a point to
make the performance successful, il
is Her Majesty, and here again you
sense the fine Italian hand Of pub
licity artists.
Obviously, some one has been
pouring Hollywood ideas into the
regal ear and explaining how prone
we Americans are to fall for stage
stuff, especially if it conforms to
local pride or prejudice. Meanwhile,
and no matter how completely over
come we may appear at the prospect
of entertaining a real queen, it is
not on record that any of our first
families has fired the old cook in
order to get one who can prepare
ROumanian dishes

The young lady billed as Dolly
Dimple is one of the most promising
juveniles we have seen. Her act is
made up of song impressions of diff
ferent kinds, and she does them all
with an ease that marks her as a
conner if she sticks to the footlights.
Think she should give more time to
her dancing; liked her dances better
than her songs at times.
Countess Sonia has an act that is
distinctly different from the usual
type. You may like it and you may
not. A continental atmosphere has
been used in all the numbers done
by the company and it lends a pleas
ing novelty touch. The featured
things are toy soldier number in
odd costumes and the acrobatic
dancing of Sonia and her partner.
The Leonti trio are three men who
play the accordion, banjo and saxo-
phone and know how to get melody
out of their instruments. On their
program are several different solos.
The banjo numbers in this act are
not so good, but the duets with sax
ophone and accordion are very pleas
ing TO hear.
Burns and Kissen take the char
acters of two Greeks who have only
been in this country for couple Of
weeks and, offer their impressions of
our country. According to the two

presentations and on the whole are
good comedy.
Geraldine Miller and company is
an act that compromises between an
esthetic dance Offering and posing
act. Miss Miller and her partner
have a keen eye for effects and are
especially good in their posing num-
bers.
Johnson and Baker have a lot of
fun by gathering up a number of
straw hats and then working with
them. They throw them around in
all sorts of ways and work out some
good comedy.
Bill includes a movie comedy and

WHAT PRICE HARMONIC

Certainly the men and women who nave reyered
the name of Lincoln, who had placed Roosevelt upon
pedestal as Idol of integrity, who have pointed
with pride to a Mckinley must be disappointed with
the action of the State committee Of the party which
they made honorable and powerful y
What pitiable spectacle it was that these men
met and did not dare to make full and complete
inquiry OF the grave charges made last week by
their leader
What would a Roosevelt have done had be been
candidate in any State and read that his campaign
director had charged that the State was filed with
corrupt money, Intent upon destroying principles to
which he gave allegiance?
What would a Lincoln have done had he been
faced with bold, unequivoca1 statement that fraud
and corruption and bribery exists and committee
of henchmen gathered to plan for his campaign?
Would these men have been silent or would they
not have asked the man who made the charges to
call upon their followers for crusade to the finish
against corruption?
Into what hands has the honored name and power
Of that party fallen that its party machinery dares
not demand that fight be waged against the corrup
ton which the leader of the party says exists in
every precinct?
What right have these men to claim that it is still
the Republican party and has not confessed by ito
acts that it is heir, to traditions that are fine
and glorious, but to Sephensonism and all that this
conVlcL pull upon the betrayed and mlSled senti-
ments of his deluded followers?
Here is the shameful situation
Last week Clyde Walb chairman of the party,
sent letter to Senator Borah charging that there
was 'evidence everywhere" of money sent into every
precinct Of the State by international bankers for
the purpose of defeating two Republican senatorial
candidates through SANDER.
II was his reply to the grave charges of corrup-
ton and bribery and graft which Stephenson had
relayed from his cell through Thomas Adams of the
Republican Editorial Association =
1t was his method of meeting the universal de-
mand for an inquiry and probe Of those charges
1t was his way of dstracting attention from the
fact that for five days after the charges had been
made and the life termer had told what he could
prove by documentary evidence Walb had been silent
and the Governor of this State and the trustees of the
State Penitentiary had used their power to prevent
six State Senators and responsible newspaper men
of the State and the nation from seeing Stephenson
1t was his way of meeting the known and proven
fact that offer of any inquiry had been made I'M
til Col. Theodore Roosevelt had forced statement
as he appeared with the Governor this State upon
political gathering at La Grange.
The charges of Walb were direct, so unequivoca
as to demand inquiry from the Reed senatorial
committee if he had the evidence which he said he
everywhere.
Instead of mentioning these charges the State
committee called upon the Republican editors of
the State to come to its meeting and make response

Indiana Association SeCre-

Predictions that this would be a
tax reduction year have been borne
out by reports from all sections Of
Indiana, according to Harry Miesse,
secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers
Association.
Our forecast relative TO what
would happen" said Miesse,, was
not based simply on the theory that
the wish was farther to the though.
The work in behalf of tax reduc-
ton could not have been successful
this year had it not been for the
hearty and enthusiastic cooperation
of the newspapers of Indiana.
"a majority of the counties in In
diana show reductions in rates this
year. Most of the reductions were
made where we have organizations
of the State association or where we
were working through local commit
tees. In several counties where we
could not interest the people, in or
ganization work, there have been no.

appeals were taken 10 the State

Rudyard Kipling sings a tribute
to this age-old trait when he de-

"Moderns," as he calls them, are
coming in to mess up the quiet calm
and beauty of the Sussex Country
side.
When Daniel Boone was nearly
four score, he moved West and
pitched his cabin in am isolated spot
that suited his taste.

TrotSky SurrenderS

Queen Marie is the granddaughter
of a former car. while Russia and
Roumania are both heavily impreg-
mated with the Slavic strain, all of
which permits an easy transfer of
thought from our royal guest to the
great drama that is taking place in
Moscow.
Not pausing to name or discuss
the partisans supporting either,
Trotsky has surrendered to Stain,
has eaten his words publicly after
blowing hot for revolt.
Max Eastman. who spent several
years in Russia and who should be
regarded as one of the best informed
men in this country on Russian af-
fairs. suggests, that It is only a
clever move by which Trotsky holds
his place in the Communist party
and that II Stain does not beat a
diplomatic, retreat and make a rea-
sonable compromise he is likely to
lose the vast power he seems to
WELD.
1t is to be feared that Mr.. East
man has allowed his admiration for
Trotslzy TO get the better Of his
judgment. Neither of these two
leaders has been noted for COM
promise or diplomacy where the
question Of personal power was in
yolved.
If one has apologized, 1t is because
he had to, and If the other has ac-
cepted it, it is because he knows
his strength.
A comparative few are playing for
high stakes on the Romanoff wreck,
and none of them will admit there
is room for two at the top.
