| tone helping out wonderfully. Virginia
| Bacon and company put forward a
strong dancing act, the star being
ably assisted by a chorus of six pretty
| girls and Eugene jenkins and Jack
kearney. The stage was nicely draped
and the star and company threw a
lot of energy into their work.
Alice Zeppilli deserves unstinted
praise for her efforts to please with
| grand opera selections while obviously
handicapped by cold. Her Spanish
song pleased the most. as it carried a
waltz swing that enabled her to throw
feeling into her work. Hearty ap-
, plause followed the curtain. Herbert
| and Bolt Trio closed the bill with
| some clever slow tumbling, and the
regular house attractions completed
the big program.
EARLE-"Yesterthoughts."
Combining fine vaudeville bill
with an exceptionally good pic
ture. the Earle this week presents
d program which should draw good
audiences. The vaudeville portion
of the bill is headlined by c.
b. Maddock's "Yesterthoughts," a
tricky little three e-scene presentation
of good vocal and instrumental music.
In the instrumental numbers the
moaning saxophone and blaring in
struments that usually make up the
present-day orchestras are gladly
missing. In the vocal numbers the
swinging jazz song gives way to the
older sentimental numbers. Reg. &.
Merville heads the cast, supported by
a company of seven.
A direct contrast is given with the
act of Jarvis, Harrison and company,
Elevated Love" The skit abOunds
with amusing situations. Jarvis and
Harrison are assisted by Tom Dillon
and Sonny Jarvis, the last named
doing some good tap dancing. Joe
Darcy, blackface songster, returns
with an entirely new group of songs,
some of which he composed himself.
and a snappy line of chatter that
kept the audience in good humor. He
has the assistance of man in the
audience. q
The bill is opened by Jack Goldie
and Eddie Ross, who, with a company
of four, present 1.-THE Broadway
Whirl," a novel song and dance revue.
Goldie and Ross are excellent dancers,
and the company contributes its
share. Ed Lord and 81 Wills have
a nonsensical act entitled, Wanted
BY Everybody. Even the Police"
The photoplay is an adaptation of the
Belasco play, "The Heart of. Mary
land" in which Mrs. Leslie Carter
first starred. The story concerns the
love of Maryland Calvert, a South
ern girl, for Northern soldier.
Dolores Costello is starred in the
part of Maryland Calvert, and is ably
supported by a good cast, including
Jason Robards, Warner Richmond,
Carroll Nye and Charles Edward Bull.
The picture is an outstanding feature
of the bill for the week.

Harry and Willie Lander, with their
own revue, are the attractions at the
Gayety Theater this week. Before the

The Lander brothers head a com

Assisting her is Virginia Wheeler. The

beauty.

IPB.A. DENY FIGHT RUMOR.
To Whom 1t May Concern:

To Whom 1t May Concern:
The Independent Progressive Ed
ucational Association wishes to
correct a certain false rumor that IS
being spread over the city by some
individuals who evidently desire TO
hurt the character and reputation OIL
the Association.
The rumor, which has reached the
ears Of the club. concerns an attack
made on a group of students at
recent dance. 1t is being said that
the attack was instigated by the L.
P. E. A.
The Associa ton emphatically de
MES any knowledge of the affair and
challenges any party or parties to
prove that the club as such had any
connection whatsoever with the
affair.
This Association is composed or
the best young men in the city or
Richmond, many of whom attend the
same institution of learning as the
attacked students. 1t is absurd to
even think that young men OF such
high intellect would stoop to any
Such methods.
The Association wishes that in the
future some OF the mothers OF Rich
mcnd will rot find it necessary TO
persuade other mothers not to
allow their daughters to associate
with boys that they have known ever
since childhood.
The rumor as far as the Associa
ton can ascertain, is being spread
by a certain group of individuals
who have some slight grievances
against the Association.
1t is hoped that the serious
minded people of Richmond will
not take any notice of the malicious
report that is l eing spread and that
their sons would not do anything

sisters friends
