acting, scenario writing and directing
for motion pictures. In addition he is
pianist and an expert bridge player.
Graves is said to not only have a
fair for writing, but he has the con-

quite well II Is horrid" Mr.. Gilbert
diagnoses such an audience as "intelli-
gent" And thus future gatherings in
Steve Cochran's Thespian emporium
should be pleased to so consider them
selves.
Walter Gilbert for 152 weeks without
a stop played at the st. James Theater
before Boston's bluest- blooded repre-
SentativeS. He has seen the reactions
OF weekly assemblies in the principal
theater OF Providence, and farther in
lovers of Rochester, Syracuse, and-aS
they say-all points West. From these
experiences he Is well grounded In the
psychological lore of the "flrst-nighters"
and their followers. His conviction,
therefore, that nowhere on this green
earth do audiences come better than in
Washington should be considered fact
beyond question.
There Is fascination in this stock
work." Mr.. Gilbert adds; fascination
that grows out of hard work and the
each week" And when one considers
that during the past few days he had
the task Of creating two characters,
instead Of one, the hard work" can be
easily appreciated.
Incidentally, for those who are not
acquainted with their Broadway stage.
1t may be well to remind them that Mr..
Gilbert originated leading roles In
"Aloma of the South Seas" "Gang War"
and The Brigand."" Furthermore. his
flrst venture behind the footlights was
sponsored by the late Charles Frohman.
II one should be curious about the
lightning changes In Brothers" last
week, it Is only fair to say that Warren
Dol really supplied more than half the
lightning. Mr.. Dol did the very same
thing for Bert Lytell in the New York
cast, besides having been a reporter on
the Westporter Herald, and, according
to Mr.. Gilbert, rs worth more than his
weight in gold" which incidentally is
100 pounds. Mr.. Dol, who halls from
the fair Nippon, whence our cherry
blossoms came, seems to be as fond of
Washington and Its audiences as Walter
Gilbert.

<MADCAP NELL
WINS PLACE
In LIGHTS

It took Nell Kelly just one night
to put her name up in lights on
Broadway, and for the last two
seasons it has remained there.
The girl who made New York sit
up and cheer is filling an interval
between musical comedy engage
mentS with a special tour in
"JapaniteS,' which is this weeks
presentation at Loew'S Palace
Theater.
According to her parents, Miss
Kelly began kicking from the first
day she came into the world in
Memphis, Tennessee. 20 years ago.
In the invigorating climate of
California, to which her parents
took her as a child. her kicking
ability became still more vigorous.
so that by the time she went on
the stage to sing and dance, she
was a positive riot.
She made her debut in film
theater stage revueS, similar to
the one in which she is now fea-
tured, playing between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, but her
stay there was brief. Louis
GenSler, New York musical
comedy producer saw her once and
signed her up for his "Ups-a-
daisy" show. She went into that
production that opening night un-
heralded, but all the first night
reviewers mentioned the fact next
morning that she stole the show.
They called her the hottest song
and dance artist that had hit
Broadway.
Next season found her gracing
the cast of Boom Boom" The
critics found her the same pint
size tornado who turned the stage
into a storm of energy whenever
she appeared. "Madcap" Nell
Kelly they called her in the West.
and in the East, they call her the
hottest girl in town.

LOCAL CHORUS
IS PLAN OF
MUTUAL

Interest in the plan of the
BurleSque Association,
which plays locally at the popu-
lar Gayety Theater, on Ninth
Street. to establish local choruseS
in the 40 cities constituting the
circuit is disclosed in the large
number of applications that have
been received at the New York
offices of the Mutual. from am
bilious girls all over the country.
These choruses will be made up
of young women residents of each
city, and those that display pro-
nounced ability will be gradually
advanced to the ranks of princi-
pals. In this way, it is calculated,
many future stars will be devel-
oped who would never otherwise
have been given even start
Expert directors will travel
from place to place preceding the
opening of the season to rehearse
and coach the newcomers and
one professional chorus girl will
be assigned permanently to each
group to constantly continue their
training, and eventually to pass
upon individual proficiency for
graduation to principal positions.

At Chevy Chase

Happy days are here again at
Chevy chase Lake.
The Swanee Syncopators and
the Meyer Davis Collegians are
putting out tunes Sweeter than
sweet. The weather man is pre-
senting the finest of June nights.
And the combination is bringing
swarms of gay young people out
to Chevy Chase Lake.
On the lower pavilion the
Swanee Syncopators keep things
plenty lively. AL Kamons, direct
ing the Syncopators, is master OF
the better degrees of syncopation.
The SyncopatorS show an unusual
orchestral makeup in that the
accepted dance music instruments
are supplemented by plenty of
brass. These added trumpets
mean that all sorts Of trick ef-
fects in melody can be and are
presented by the SyncopatorS.
The Meyer Davis Collegians,
headed by Ben Levine, hold forth
on the upper pavilion.
