Grace La Rue, Joe
DAILY and Mr..
Allen

Grace La Rue, accompanied oy
the tuneful Joe Daily, and Fred
Allen, assisted by Portland Hoffa,
struggle evenly for top honors in
the holiday program at B. +.
Keith's this week, with Mijares
looming up not far behind. There
are laughs and songs and dances
and pretty girls and comedy
stunts galore scattered all through
the entertainment.
Miss La Rue was having her
troubles with laryngitis last
night, yet succeeded in holding
her own. Naturally her voice
lacked its customary volume, but
she showed herself true artist,
nevertheless. At the piano. DAILY.
one of the best-known song writ
ers in the country, charmed with
an excellent repertory of Victor
Herbert music.
You must see and hear Fred
Allen to appreciate his own orig
inal brand of wit and hun.or. He
does little of everything, or at
tempts it, at least. His satirical
lecture is a vaudeville gem.
htJuACSS "SAICO > greatest
wirewalker," kept all in their
seats last night through his
sheer daring. The climax of his
act makes one wonder why Mex
leo has been singled out as able to
hold him.
Les Folies Rouges," a revue
featuring Stanisloff and Oracle, is
delight to the eye and ear. A
Chinese story" handsomely
mounted and accompanied by
Oriental music, is an ambitious
offering enabling the entire COM

laughing reception. Bessie Leon

The feature picture DRESS
Parade" a Qualification OF life at
West Point. is as interesting as
Burton Holmes travelogue. Cadets
at drill and at play, the life IN
the barracks and beautiful scenes
on the grounds above the Hud-
son are generously depicted
These are all shown in connection
with a rather absurd story Of a
emall-town youth who tries 10
buster his way through the
military academy and is quickly
"set down" by his classmates.
He turns out to be a 100 per
cent West Pointer in the end and
wins the daughter of the com.
noandant, of course. William Boyd
makes a. mess of role that was
written for a William Haines.
Bessie Love is not much better.
The real actors in this film are
the long lines of marching cadets
on dress parade and in chapel.
So much for that.
The stage program Is opened
with selections from Pagliacci by
three unusually good voices, Car
los Ferretti, Kitty Mclaughlin
and Louis Doorway. The latter
sings "Ridi Pagliacci.
The high light Of the so-called
de luxe presentation is "All Around
the Town" Bowery panorama
with the Eight Bachelors who
sing some of the old songs rather
pleasingly. This act also includes

own Nanny King, who has been
heard here before in night clubs
and theaters. Margaret Mckee

RialtO Starts the

II "The Last Waltz" current at

photoplay product of 1928, all is
well. This picture has audience
appeal of a high caliber. 1t in

whir1s into a dashing love story
and ends on a pleasant note of
romantic high comedy.
THE Last Waltz" must not be
confused with 1.-The Dream
Waltz" which played here under
Loew auspices several months
ago. Both came from the UFA
film laboratories of Germany.
Both have considerably more pop
ular appeal than most of the
great pictures from this now tot
tering combine of genius.
Whoever directed 1.-The Last
Waltz" has been studying the
methods Of Murnau and Won Stro-
helm. Each player is a character
in himself and not a lay figure. A
loose lady is seen only as pair
of yearning, imperiuos arms. The
story proper becomes quite intense
at times, and on such occasions,
just as a situation reaches fever
heat, the director inJects a comic
note to tell us not to take it all
too seriously.
It's all about an aide to Prince
Alexis, who fell in love with
beautiful countess, on whom the
prince, his boss. had what the
Nineties called crush" For
defending his lady's honor against
the prince, the poor aide is SEN
fenced to die. And that is al
that may conveniently be told
here.
On the stage is the Pomeroy-
Brewster revue, introducing some
good vocalists, a stunning blonde
and brunette dancing team, a
couple of apt adagio dancers and
various and sundry performers
of merit. h
With such bills, 1t should be a
happy new year for Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Steffy, Corbin Shield,
Mr.. Collier and the rest of the
boys and girls at the Rialto.

new policy.
In a Spanish atmosphere a
number of talented artists present
the stage attractions in classic
fashion. Lloyd and Bryce open
the bill with some high steppin'
that caught Madrid's fancy and
took the Palace audience by

q new version of the Tango: the
Tivoli Girls break forth with
some old steps done in a new

play tuneful and appropriate

Palace Syncopators and Wesley
Eddy's artistry as master of cere-
monies.

although it might be indexed with
one of his best. The story is one
of mystery that keeps the audi

THE OLD SHE'LL GAME

Farmers in every section of the
country can well afford to consid-
er the perplexities in the Demo
cratic plank on agricultural re
lief, as pointed ont by Congress
man Franklin w, Fort of New
Jersey in speaking before an au-
dience in Maine.
Mr.. Fort, during his service in
Congress, has been a member of
the Committee on Agriculture of
the House; has taken part in its
hearings; and has studied the
problems carefully. Hence what
he has to say about the Democratic
agricultural plan is of more than
usual interest.
Mr.. Fort stated that the Demo-
cratic plank ON agriculture is so
beautifully vague that ii defies de
lection, and that the candidates
(Smith and Robinson) are not i'll
accord with the views of the Dem
cratic chairman as to where they
stand.
In his speech of acceptance, :"
Mr. Fort said, Governor Smith
has interpreted it (the Democratic
PLAN even more vaguely, and has
shown that he does not really know
what it is all about by referring
inquiring reporters to an editorial
in the New York World for the on
ly authentic statement of his posi-
ton This editorial deuounces the
equalization fee = Then Mr..
Raskob, the Democratic chairman
went West and discovered that
there was a farm problem, and he
said that Governor Smith had
never been opposed to the
eqalization fee. So this looked as
though the New York World did
not express the Governor 5 views,
even though the Governor said it
did. see
Senator Robinson - boldly
proposed that we should enter up
on an economic venture sss
This sounded nightly like both
