Under the rather all-embrac-
ing title of London, Paris and
New York" Mr.. Sankey's
latest and most pretentious
creation, headlining at B. r.
Keith's Theater this week, has
unfolded its colorful length as
the most alluring revue the
vaudeville circuit has yet spon-
sored. Costumes, songs, set
tings, direction are matters war
ranting high praise.
The astute Mr.. Santley has as
sembled a cast notable first Of
all for youth. Seventeen Is the
average of the 10 versatile chory-
fees, IL the age OF the two girl
principals, Jane Smith and Dor
othy Mack: the principal boys,
Bud and Jack Pearson. dancerss
and Charlie Ross, tenor soloist;
older by q couple Of years.
For the majority Of the cast
this theatrical venture Is the first.
Miss Mack and Miss Smith are
veterans Of two years. and the
Pearson boys, despite their youth.
have been trouping the circuit
since they graduated from knee
breaches to long pants.
With one or two exceptions the
entire company is from the West.
The very superior youngsters of
the ensemble are products OF a
Chicago training school and speak
eloquently for the trainahility of
American girls. Their work has
snap and rhythm; they are very
important item in the revue. The
principals-as Is proper with prin-
cipals-are talented as well as
good looking. Miss Mack has a
particularly nice throaty voice,
and both she and Miss Smith are
expert little dancers. The Pearsons
are first-class clog and tap dancers.
and Charlie Ross is as capable q
tenor soloist as any revue would
want.

II have always liked the Irish
parts and felt natural in them, +"
said Miss Moore.
II like the Irish type OF role
first of all because ] consider 1t
the most thoroughly human inter-
probation possible on the screen
or, for that matter. on the stage.
Love, poetry, sentiment are the
softer nuances Of Irish natures;
fire, ire and action are the coun.
ter characteristics.
There Is nothing suppressed,
neurasthenically brooding, austere-
ly reserved about these true chill
dren of nature, and in this re-
spect perhaps they stand quite
apart from other races. When
they're angry, they flare up. And
as quickly get over it. They for
give on the impulse and smother
the ire OF one moment with the
pervasive good will OF the next.
Sentiment Is the big thing in their
lives. And they aren't afraid to
sacrifice their life blood for their
ideals"
