GOING ON
AT THE EARLE
THEATER

The Earle this week presents a
#ell-ordered program with a fas.
cinating picture. "Staga Madness"
and some diversified vaudeville
acts offering good entertainment.
Eddie and Morton Beck, with
skit, Poor But Honest Parents"
take first honors by virtue OF their
exceptionally good singing and
clever dancing. Both possess
splendid voices and are versatile
and delightful artists. Their new
song hit, That's What I Call a
Pal" wins a decided hand.
A colorful revue, For Your APP
prevail" is deliberately staged. One
girl, supple and graceful as q will
low, does some striking solo
dancing. Another, a singer, is
petite and attractive, though not
endowed with a voice of special
merit. Altogether the act is staged
and costumed gorgeously. and
ranks well with current miniature
productions Of the sort.
Passeri's romantic company fea-
lures Cessna Vullo, soprano. and a
group of singers and dancers.
Phelan and Frances. ballroom
dance opponents Of unusual grace,
and a couple who sing the duet
from "Cavaierla," display decided
talent.
A skit, ''Smithie," provides
theme for an original playlet well
worked out. Wheeler, one-half Of
the attraction, is an adept clog
dancer who does some novel
stepping.
Completing the vaudeville por-
ton, John Gordon and company
have passably funny pieces Of
business, though one cannot but
be relieved when a few groups Of
distinguished actors from great
countries ct cetera are omitted
from their repertoire.
The film, of tragic turn. features
Virginia Valli, Lou. Tellegen and
Tullio Carmenati, in an absorbing
story of a French dancers dra-
matte career. The plot is in
triguing. An interesting news reel
is an added film attraction.
An overture, 'Eldorado," by the
Earle Orchestra, Floyd Wheeler
conducting, and an organ con-
cert by Alexander Arons complete
the bill.-H. ~
