CENTERING INTEREST WHERE
1T SHOULD BE CENTERED

The spotlight of merit at the
Lyric this week falls most lavishly
upon two acts.
They are Jolly Juniors" a revue
based upon a good idea and pre-
sented by people who have genuine
ability and who are not afraid to
work, and, Merritt and Coughlin, a
team Of excellent clowning ability.
The man of the team of Merritt
and Coughlin bears the stamp Of
not only having personality but in
dicates that he moves in mighty
good show circles. Both members
Of the team have that pleasing as.
surance Of artists who know that
they have good material and know
how to deliver it. But the fine fea-
ture of their work is that they de-
velop the idea hat they are having
great fun in letting you know that
they have a fine act. The method
that the man of the team uses to
introduce several juggling numbers
is mighty clever. Here IS an act
which has the biggest possible ap-
peal. They r one Of the two real
merit winners this week.
I found much to admire in 1.-THE
jolly Juniors" because the act is
introduced in a new way, the birth
of a theatrical baby which is a
revue. The dancing Of the two men
and two women in the ensemble tap
dancing work is of the high order
that one would expect to see in a
big revue. The classical solo work
of a woman dancer Is interesting,
especially her toe work. The act
lacks a finale of the same merit of
its introduction.
The Six Pashas are tumblers and
acrobats who work with ease and
rapidity. Emmett O'Meara is a
singer Of ballads and some popular
melodies Of the day. He makes a
pleasing litt~le1classic out Of l"Dinah."
Has a mighty good voice.
The Christy-McDonal Trio starts
out badly, because some extreme
and foolish hokum is presented by
the pianist. When he gets down to
real piano playing, he Is well
equipped with showmanship. The
real hit of the ACT is the singing Of
a young man at the finish.
Some of the material and stage
stunts used by j. Burt Morgan and
Company in "Oh. My Goodness" is
as old as the hills. To me some of
the hokum is disgusting-the old
story Of a man and wife and their
children arriving at the same road
house at the same time. To me the
whole affair is sad.
I arrived at the theater just as
Veronica and Hurl Falls were COM
pleting their act. Bill includes
movies.
At the Lyric all week. I

Let En- Rest

This is an off-year in politics, and
we might as well accept it as such.
What happens in an off.year gen.
orally has quite an effect on the
next presidential election. but no
n car tell what happens until it
Is all over.
Next summer we shall be able to
judge what really occurred this
summer. but hardly before.
Meanwhile. it is legitimate for Mr..
Coolidge to fish. partly with a hook
and line for something to eat and
partly through the newspaper boys
for something to null over in a pc.
itical way.

suited as type to what they deem
leading roles. Many times they have
surprised me in adapting themselves
to parts which are entirely out of
their line. There are times when
the character woman should be
given a play which gives her a big
chance. 1 believe in all-round per.
formances. This week we have the
pleasant experiences of-seeing Jyes
LaRue and Mildred Hastings cast
in two of the four leads Of THE
Lady Next Door,"
Miss Hastings, l am told. has had
much experience on the stage and
her work here this summer has in
dictated that she has character" act
ing ability which has not been
touched. In 1.-The Lady Next door"
she has a role, that of a talkative
married sister who comes into the
household of her married sister and
raises all kinds of trouble. which
proves her ability.
Miss Hastings goes in for com
plete makeup, even her gown is in
keeping with the acid mouth of the
character. One of her hats is in
complete character with the part she
is playing. The older and more ex-
perienced women of the stage have
the stage in character. So few of
our American women actually learn
this fine form Of artistry. The Eng
fish seem to have n on us part of
the time.
1t is also artistry to know how to
dress a character so the character
may be acting all the time although.
the actor is not saying a word. Think
you will agree with me that Miss
Hastings is giving one of those
characterization in THE Lady Next
Door" which YOU will remember with
pleasure when the season is over.
THE Lady Next Door" has a good
idea. but the two playwrights have
permitted the soup to boil over, be-.
cause there were too many cooks.
The basic idea is there and there
are some good character sketches.
puI the play Idlner says Wnen II
should mount.
1t is another one Of those forty
seven minutes from the grand
central station plays, meaning just on
the edge of the countryl and far
enough from the city not to use a
taxi.
Also thing that Jyes LaRue in
an elderly Characterization gives
promise of getting into character
voice. Most Of the time this season
she has used the same tone Of voice
for most Of her characterizations.
Not this week. She ctually gets into
all aspects of the character.

POINCARE N TUNE

Premier Poincare, having cotton his taxation pro-
gram through the chamber. is singing in a different
key about foreign credits.
A few days ago, you will recall, stories were pub
lished that the British and American debt pacts
were to be shelved. Now this is denied. The agree.
ments are to be considered as soon as possible.
simultaneously reports come from Paris that
British and Dutch credits are to be sought in stabil.
ling the franc and it believes American bankers
Will participate through the Dutch.
Poincare apparently has realized, or is willing
to admit publicly, that it is impossible to restore the
country's finances without outside help.
Your Uncle Samuel is a usurer, all right. Ask
any Frenchman. But just the same his dollars NAV
come in handy when Poincare and the rest of the
politicians are trying to pull the country out of the
economic morass into which they plunged Il.

Which is the most valuable va
riety of precious stones?
The question cannot be answered
by giving the name of any specific
stone as the value of each kind of
gem varies greatly according to the
color, quality and size of the in
dividual stone. Fine rubies are sold
to be rarer and more valuable than
good diamonds, but an inferior ruby
would be less valuable than a good
diamond. Fine emeralds may sell
as high as $500 to $500 per carat
while inferior stones are not worth
more than IS a carat.
