and song. But the fun and the
laughs keep on all the time. "Oh,
this can go OH for hours and hours"
Olsen admits. And that is the truth
about the funniest act in the bust
hess. Nothing highbrow here, but
the funniest hokum theater in ex-
istence today. Here is glorified nom
sense, put over by two men who
have brains-comedy brains. And
they know how to use 'em.
In addition to the big event, four
other acts are on the bill. Harry
and Curly open the proceedings in
acrobatics. Good. Sweet and
Proctor go in for eccentric fun with
the woman leading on the eccentric
stuff. Kohn and DePinto with ac-
cordian and violin. They stop the
show too. Then good dancing act,
Hartman, Swan and Lucille.
I can trutllfully say that this is
the biggest show for the money I
have ever seen in my theatrical ex-
perience.
And the answer is this-Capacity
at every performance with all stand
ing room filled.

streets. Burr was wealthy in
friends.
The success Of Colonel Satan
will depend upon the way Mckay
Morris is accepted as Aaron Burr.
Here is a nagnifcently rich per-
Torrance, but Morris will become
nose mellow, more pointed, more
sure of himself and more many
sided as time goes on.
He looks the part and he has the
voice. Also the temperament. He
was the right choice. And what a
picture he makes in the fine toys.
Jessie Royce Lands Il understand
that Harrington admired her work
with Otis Skinner here some sea-
sons ago plays Nine. Ia Baronne de
Bannalac. Here is a gorgeous per-
Torrance, even well rounded, definite
and many sided.
I liked the work of Montague
Shaw as Charles; the Bobiche OF
Louis Casavant and the Nine Ia
Duchesse de st. Pol-de-Lean of
Nine. Burani. Gorgeous work.
Colonial Satan" is a quiet interlude
which mounts to a definite climax
and then trails of to a laugh and a
thought.
Here is a pleasing satirical
romantic symphony in words and
costume by Booth Harrington. To
me it 10 welcomed relief from the
very plain and the very obvious
bunk that we have with us 50 often.
Will it go in New York? Time
only can tell. The satirical note
as well as the period location of the
story may be a novelty on Broad
way. Who can tell.
Where was Booth Harrington last
night. 7 hope that 1 am not be-
traying any confidence. He was
to be back stage, retiring as ever
from his public. He wanted to hear
the lines that he had written. 1
hope that he heard the great ova-
ton at the end of the play.
Mckay Morris finally made the
curtain talk and he mentioned
Booth Harrington. A Harrington
play is an event in the theater.

Johnson puts on an envelope and
paper dance. He admits it is sta
tionary and he proves it by mean
ing all its own. Then from one
comedy smash to another. Their
assistants are scattered all over the
house. From one box, a censor who
announces he. is Chuc Wiggans,
stops Olsen (maybe its Johnson,
from putting on a love scene. Then
one of the team appears in another
box and objects in the name of
Aimee Mcpherson. More laughs.
Suddenly guy yells out that he
is Napoleon. Another guy pops up
as Nappy and claims the honor.
Still another one is the original.
The comedians decide that point.
They put on bedroom farce
which gets the laughs. Their stock
market crash is another riot. They
have a wee fellow in the act as we'll
as one who weighs hundreds. They
team up for laughs while Olsen and
Johnson are changing their pants.
Never have two fellows made so
many changes as these two.

Of the conspiracy, who is really the
sweetie Of the chief Of police Of
Paris.
Burr puts his wits to work once
more and secures the coat of
Esquire Lally, also his money, and
is getting ready to acquire his trou-
sers just as the curtain goes down.
The idea is that the poverty
stricken Burr must have fine and
dandy clothes to appear in at the
fashionable salon of Nine. de Ban
nalac at about midnight.
The seven conspirators are all
there and Burr makes love to
madame and promises to teach her
Latin, starting with Caesar and
ending up with Virgil. A quaint
pun is that Harrington twist.
Also Burr can get lots of money
if he can get back to America. He
is working on a formula to make
vinegar. It seems that vinegar and
pickles are being glorified now
adays.
Burr convinces madame that one
of the male conspirators has be-
trayed them to the police. To the
men, Burr makes them believe that
madame has done the dirty work.
The scheme works. Nobody is ar
rested.
Burr proves that madame Is the
guilty person to the men and he
saves their scalps. The third act
returns us to an obscure wine shop,
the setting of the first act.
Burr escorts the beautiful Nine.
De Bannalac to the wineshop and he
would have had a divine hour if
Lally, the owner of everything that
Burr had on at the party, did not
insist on receiving his clothes.
Then the injection of drama
the duel between Burr and Wander
berg (played beautifully by Ben
SMITH. The action mounts. Again
comes a little confusion, more smart
wisecracking on the part of Burr.
Then the suggestion of tragedy
because Burr was injured in the
duel. Then the pretty picture of
Burr surrounded by the man who
shot him, two girls just from the

Capacity Houses With

HANG up your thinking cap, go

and their nutty regiment and relax.
That is the best compliment that
I can pay to these two men who are
a whole circus in themselves.
Years ago when they did have
their troupe with them, I listed
them among the ten best acts of
the year.
Right now in a very sane mo-
ment, + am willing to tell you that
their act to me is the funniest thing
in the show business.
When anybody else shows up to
beat their fun record, will tell you
about it. But you may have to wait
long time.
The test Of a comedian is to be
funny and not silly, smart and not
dirty or sexy. Olsen and johnson

GERMANY MAY
ASK new DEAL
ON REP ARATIONS
Berlin Studies Scheme TO
Abolish Payments at
Moratorium End.
BY FREDERICK KUN.
United Press stan Correspondent

BERLIN, Aug. Germany would
abolish or revise downward-prefer-
ably neutrality-suspicious. payments
at the end of the Hoover debts and
reparations holiday next July.
The government was considering
a new economic policy today de-
signed to convince the world that
war reparations should be read
justed at the end of the years
moratorium.
1t was feared, however, that the
policy would be certain to arouse
widespread antagonism abroad.
Germany has been forced to Dor
row heavily since the start of the
separations payment after the
World war in 1918, to make the
major part of transfers to the for
mer allied nations. The nations
present financial weakness has been
ascribed largely to this fact.
The question Of reparations ad-
Justments has been connected
closely with proposals for reduction
Of various war debts owed to the
United States, which are paid by
funds received from Germany as
reparations.
Hence, while the Hoover admin
istration has taken the lead in OF
fering foreign aid to Germany, it
was feared Washington would be
inclined to froWn on a scheme for
drastic further reductions or aboli-
ton of separations payments en-
tirely.
The new policy also would involve
non-repaynent on schedule of for
eign short-term credits.

HOOVER STUDIES
new PROPOSALS
FOR JOB RELIEF
Farley of Economic, Labor
Leaders May Be Called;
Coordination Sought.
BY PAUL r.. MALLON
United Press Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. Two
further steps for unemployment re-
lief are being studied in President
Hoover's earnest search for execu-
tive methods of relief that can be
put IN effect before congress meets.
A conference Of economic and
labor leaders for winter planning
Is one Of the proposals. Such a
meeting has been demanded by
President William Green Of the
American Federation of Labor. Co.
ordination Of local relief work. pos
sloly through the Red Cross and
chambers Of commerce, is the other.
The President already has acted
10 speed up the governments con-
struction program and to strength
en- the federal employment service.
Need Definite Plan
Mr.. Hoover's associates have cau-
TONED against the conference pro-
posal at this stage. They believe
IL would be difficult unless he could
of1er a definite program for adop-
ZION. Efforts to arrange confer
ences on the coal and railroad Sit
uations have failed.
1t has been suggested, however.
mat he might resummon the in
dustrialists who we're called to the
White House a year and a half ago
and seek their views on what might
now be undertaken.
Az the earlier conference the in
oustrlalist leaders agreed to try to
maintain wage levels.
Decision Delay Seen
White House advisers believe the
President will delay decision on
the conference for month or more
possibly until the United States
chamber of Commerce concludes its
survey Of the winter employment
outlook. The executive was assured
late Monday by Silas Strawn. presi-
dent OF the chamber, and Julius
Barnes, chairman of the board. that
the report would contain recommen-
cations worth his consideration. The
report is now being written by Ed
ward 1. Hartman of Boston.
Strawn and Barnes came away
from the White House with verbal
statements to the press that Mr..
Hoover is much alive" to the pos
slollity OF a serious situation this
winter, and preparing to act wher-
ever he can. They said the execu-
tive agreed with them that the idea
OF money relief from the treasury
is Simply appalling"
