kEITH'S-Grant Mitchell

Grant Mitchell knows vaudeville
from every angle and as a result had
little trouble in scoring big success
in the clever playlet, Three Flights
Up" at keith's last night, where he
occupies the headline position. Mr.
Mitchell knows the value of speed in
short sketches and never lets the dia-
1ogue lag or a situation sag off. Three
people give him effective assistance

Dorothy Dudgon. The extra added at
traction, Ledova, brilliant danseuse,
has a most pretentious act, being as
sisted by Mr.. Varkes as a dancing
partner. and Joseph Nepolitano.

led by Mr.. Elgin. The star is hailed
as one of our very best ballet dancers
and she easily substantisted this as
sertion in her sensational whirlwind
evolution last night. The act closed
the bin. but held everybody for the
finish. It's reception was most cordial.
In his endeavor TO put over some
thing new, Harry Holmes. the pessi-
mist monologist, recorded the laugh

face Holmes goes about his work and
with the able assistance Of two young
men, startling the audience with his
innovations, all Of which brought out
peals Of laughter.
Ed and Jennie Rooney opened the
program with a clever trapeze stunt.
Beth Challis sang popular songs in a
taking manner. Little Robins.the walk
ing music store, has added several new
stunts to his act and it went over
in good style. Mario Vale. the operate
baritone, and Eric Zardo. the noted
pianist. presented a strong singing
and musical act, both being artists in
their line. Fortunello and Cirillino, the
funny tumbling clowns. presented
their old act, and 1t made the usual hit.
