LOOKING OVER
BURLESQUE AT MUTUAL

Here is a burleSque show that has
kept the same book for the last two
seasons that I know of. Also the
same comedians. However II still
is fairly good burleSque.
George Leon is still the comedian
He still says the same things and
gets them over. Eddie Loray is stifl
playing the second comedian. These
two make a real team.
Leading the "Dimpled Darlings"
is Nora Ford. She does the majority
of the dancing. the kind that is
known as the hot variety. Dolly
Ballenger and Babe Mason are with
the show as female leads. They
have been seen here before, as l
remembered. with the same show.
"Dimpled DarlingS' is still fairly
good burlesque. It is stranger in
double meaning comedy than several
of the shows that have been here
of late, but it also has little more
pep"

rell And Son" at the P9lace;

ROOMING HOUSE
DEATHS PROBED
Mystery Surrounds FateS
of Man and Girl.

BIZ LHUCd Press
PITTSBURGH. Pa, April 10.-An
investigation is expected to be made
today into the finding of a dead man
and dying girl in a rooming house
here Monday.
The dead man is Herbert Blair
Male, %, Of Altoona, Pa, a cigar
clerk. The girl, Katherine Ludwig,
%, student nurse.
When the girl was taken to the
hospital she was found to be suffer
ing from a confusion behind the
right ear. Physicians declared there
were no symptoms Of carbon moxon-
idle poisoning in her death, although
coroner's certificates, in each case
gave this as the cause of the deaths.
A gas stove was burning in the room
in which the couple we're found.
Police we're not notified OF the case
until nearly five hours after the
bodies were found Males body was
removed to his Altoona home with
out even being viewed by coroners
office attaches, it was reported. Tho
couple are believed to have been in
the room since they returned from

accompanist in this act is a good
eccentric dancer. There is a boy
that sings several numbers, one in
French. He has a very high voice,
but it is good
A novelty dance act is that of
Dorothy Lund and Company The
biggest thing Of all here is the afro
plane song and the dance that goes
with it. The song is about aviation
and the dance is done by Dorothy
Lund and her brother. They stand
on airoplane propellers and do tap
dance as they whirl around. This
is quite spectacular.
Just who thinks of stunts first,
the burlesque or legitimate is hard
to tell. But Pat Daley is using an
idea in his sklt that has Ueen oone
in burleSque. 1t is also very funny.
There are two men, and one of them
has a date with a girl who brings
her sister with her. The other fell
low has to show the sister animal
pictures, while the first one makes
love. The situations that arise from
this make for good comedy. There
are some good dances done by the
chorus in this act.
Sometimes this rapid-fire comedy
stuff doesn't go over so good. When
1 was at the theater the act of Nor
ris and Flynn failed to draw the
laughs as they should. 1t was I'M
connected comedy and consequently
rather hard to follow. Some of the
gags we're funny and some were
not. Only a fair act.
Charles and Grace Moratti have
a dialect skit The man gets his
laughs by mispronouncing the Ian
guage. He has a good singing voice,
however, and sings a rather heavy
number. This was good.

VISITING KEITHS
NEW VARIETY SHOW

It's a terrible feeling TO have your
hopes raised to unexpected heights
and then let them down with a
thud. Not only is it depressing but
it is very disappointing.
Last night I went to see Chita
and Her Pals. Flaming Youth" as
the revue is known, started out
very nicely, with a comedy sorg and
some good dancing by the Ward
Sisters. Then with music and drops
that announced Chita, I sat up ex-
pecting something extraordinary.
The dance that the star of the COM
pany did impressed me as an eXer-
else she might have done to timber
up with. It had the semblance Of
an acrObatic dance. There was one
redeeming feature in the part Of a
turn made on the stomach. There
were other dances of the tap and
comic variety, along with clever
Bowery number.
"And OH the man said" is a
clever comedy skit, that tries to
show one side of married life. Grace
Nile and Dick Mansfield are the
characters in this skit. 1t has been
here before, and I remember, early
this season, but that in no way keeps
it from being good comedy.
George Watts is a very big man,
and a very good singing comedian.
Belle Hawley plays his accompani-
ments at the piano and sings a song
or two. They both get together on
one number and Watts sings
snatches from this and that piece
while his partner sings the real
words. Very clever.
"Ketch-on' is dialect skit.
Steve Freda and johnny Palace are
both supposed to be Italians. They
have some repartee that is good.
Freda plays several numbers, both
popular and comic on his guitar
while Palace does most of the sing
ing. AS an encore they sing I'D
Climb the Highest Mountain. -
Freda is very good on the guitar.

I think that as -By-Night"
now stands that it is real theater
but something should be done with
the first scene because it breaks too
rapidly upon the audience. 1t is
over and so is the second scene be-
fore one is quite sure what is
happening.
But the play has real characters
that we all know at sight. I think
it will be a success in Chicago and
New York but that Main st. may
turn it down because of being too
real. Main st. should love it if
that street can stand a laugh.
