It was in the "Follies Bergere"
in Paris that the Dodge Twins, as
they were then known, first jumped
into the limelight. News of their
European achievements soon spread
across the sea and it wasn't long
before the Shubert's of New York
cabled them interesting offers of
fame and fortune to become stars
of their own show, "A Night in Ven
ice," which was very successful on
Broadway. Now they are in vaude-
vile.
The second headliner on this bill
of stars is to be Benny Ross, who
was newspaper man, then
vaudevillian, and from there he
stepped into prominence in Excess
Baggage" a musical show in which
Morton Downey starred, but left to
take up radio work. Ross is said
to have stepped into the Downey
role and scored a hit overnight.
In his present vaudeville act he
is assisted by Miss Maxine Stone,
a tall, acrobatic dancer.
Billy Hibbitt and Marie Hartman,
veteran vaudeville and musical
comedy favorites, are billed as the
third headliner. Both have been
standbys of the revue producers and
vaudeville bookers for many years.
Their new variety is called THE
Hot Dog Lady"

auctions, has and still is considered

best dressed women on the stage or

CRAZY QUILT"
RETURNS MONDAY

Billy Rose, producer of revues.
whose show, Crazy Quilt" will play
a return engagement at English
theater, Monday, April 18, is a
paradoxical personality.
He is poet-that is if a lyricist
of popular songs may be so called
He is a. Snowman. He is a business
man. What is more, he has made
his mark in the diverse fields.
Thirty-one years of age, but a
decade ago Rose was a court re-
porter and incidentally holds the
worlds record for stenographic
speed. Then he started writing
songs.
From Barney Google" and
There's a Rainbow Round MY
Shoulder" down to the four hits of

Take a Walk" Overnight" Cheer
full Little Earful" and Il Found a
Million Dollar Baby in a Five and
Ten Cent Store" he has written
over sixty successes, running into
ten millions.
That Rose is a competent show
man is proven by the successful
runs on Broadway of his revues,
Sweet and Low and Crazy Quilt"
last season, when producers were
as numerous in the bankruptcy
docks as schemes for ending de-
preston.
Now he stands forth as a fore
sighted business man by combining
the best of the two shows into a
new edition of Crazy Quilt" main

Gotham run, Fannie Brice, Phil
Baker and Ted Healy.

Comedy to
Open at
Keith's
Unexpected Husband to
Start Sunday Night
for Week.

One of the very latest New York
comedy hits, Unexpected Hus-
hand" in which the Berkell Play
ers will appear at Keith's commence
ing Sunday night, is a mirthful We
hicle which will provide Indianap-
oils theatergoers with a week of
unadulterated gaiety.
Written by Barry Corners, the
author of The Patsy" Apple
Sauce" and other comedy successes,
Unexpected Husband" is neralded
as containing exactly 1904 laughs,
and it is Significant that through
out both its New York and Chicago
runs no critic disputed this am
bilious assertion.
The plot evolves around a wilful
Texas belle who visits New York
in search of adventure and becomes
engaged to a notorious Broadway
playboy. The proposed union is
frowned upon by the girls father,
a typical ten-gallon hat Texan
who, with ire in his eye and gun
in belt, speeds to New York to block
the union.
Meanwhile the girl, Dorothy At
water, changes her mind about
marrying the boy, Willie Van Loan,
and so confides to his friend, Perry
Morrison, a wealthy young club
man
While talking the matter over in
one Of New York gilded cocktail
emporiums they imbide too freely
and find it inconvenient to travel
fast when the speakeasy is raided
by prohibition officers. A convivial
justice of the peace from Jersey
helps them into his car and not
knowing what else to do with his
new acquaintance finally deposits
them in Jersey City hotel as Mr.
and Mrs. Smith.
It is easy to imagine how much
trouble, excitement and whatnot
can develop from such a situation,
especially when the girls father
arrives on cunning expedition for
Willie Van Loan with reporters,
newspaper photographers, hotel
clerks, detectives and sundry other
individuals adding to the complica-
tions, all of the merriest sort.
In the Berkell production Philip
Brandon and Virginia Stevens will
be the chief fun makers.

ance of novel comedy episodes
which rise to extreme heights when
the two mad wags, Wheeler and
Woolsey, dressed as senoritas, fling
amorous gauntlets into the faces of
Mexican bad men.
