Puppets Please

The .Salicci family comes TO town
this week with a renewal Of the old
favorite-the puppet show. They
call their presentation, "Neapolitan
Varieties" and it is one Of the
spiciest bits OF fun and Snowman
ship that has been recently.
The Salicci show inspires hope
for a return of the puppets in stage
productions. Their manipulation Of
the dolls has been developed TO the
point where the characters assume
real personality.
The scene in which one Of the
puppets plays a classical selection
on a concert piano IS outstanding IN
its intricacy. Almost every note IS
seen as the cloth doll plays 1t and
is heard ii perfect collaboration on
an of stage piano.
The Saliccis have perfected q
chorus Of dancing men and women,
which in tune to the music. prance
across the stage in satin gowns and
full dress suits.
The comedy of the show is seen
IN a skit which depicts father and
his son trying to catch a butterfly
They fall over each other, and
finally one of them falls into the
cage of a huge snake which is hold
ing on to its victim for ali it is
worth when the curtain falls. The
final scene of the how is fun or
chestra playing for a fancy prima
donna. The orchestra men play
long and lustfully and the trombone
PLAYER fairly beats the head of of
the flutist. with the slide.
Other acts on the bill are headed
by Gus Van. popularity known as
The Melody Man" His impersona-
lions of Italians. Germans, Irish and
Negroes are extremely well done
and his music is entertaining.
HAYS. Haig and Howe are seen in
a round of tumbling, dancing and
comic song. and Rod and Morey
Carter combine with Dana Sisters
in a skit of more than average
comedy.
The picture on view is George
OBrien's latest piece, The Cow
boy Millionaire. in which he shows
his versatility by INDUCING, not
only in his usual rough and tum-
bic horseback antics. but also in
some very convincing parlor par
lance.

At first the parents are happy

ter and his wife with her husband
and daughter. The doctor devotes
50 much time 10 his laboratory that
he forgets a modern axiom that all
work for a husband and no play
causes the wife to play elsewhere.
The plavboy who nearly becomes
the Wrecker Of the Middleton home
IS ROfle Brent. a rich idler who loves
to ride horses. This role is played by
LYLE Talbot
The sincere trusting love OF Molly
finally cOmpels the home wrecker to
leave his victims because ne realizes
that Molly is right in wanting her
'mommv" and poppy" under the

This little story is told in many
shades OF JOY. SORROW and fear on
the part OF Shirley. She is mag
nifcent in the scenes where she
goes into land Of makebelieve,
Heavens Rest, a sylvan rendezvous,
twice a year.

Take time between tears and
laughs to watch Shirley's antics

Shakespeare Is Delng JfOlIeQ OUT
in a gay and festive mood as he
never has been in my experience
in the theater and if the Bard knew
what was happening to his Pc
truchio and Katherine, he would
roll over and howl with glee
This comedy by Shakespeare is
being played with the thumb to the
nose when necessary. On the printed
page for years this has been one
of the gayest romps in literature
and it remained for the Lunts to
make it the jolliest romp possible
on the stage.
The bards words have not been
twisted but the old text with the
induction and the play proper
played by the strolling actors with
necessary cutting here and there is
used.
There is everything in this pro-
duction but a vacuum cleaner and
that could be used to clean the
stage of the snow" after Petruchio
keeps wild Katherine, the Shrew,
waiting in her white wedding gown
and veil. out in the snow.
The attendants of Kate are four
dwarfs dressed up fit to kill.
Horse Triumphs
This production even has aero
bats and the most magnificent prop
horse that the legitimate stage ever
has seen.
Upon the back of this "trusty"
horse rests the persons of Petruchio
and Katherine during various
scenes in the play.
Christopher Sly Orchard WhorD
appears in the induction and being
full of ale falls asleep in an imagi-
nary gutter upon the stage.
There he is discovered by sober
lord, who orders his flunkeys to put
the drunken Sly in his Sumptuous
bed and to deck him in fine attire.
He bids his page to dress as a
female and be loving and kind TO
the drunk when he aWakenS. Mr..
Sly goes to bed in the front right
hand box and as he sips ale, he
Kisses the show or yells approval as
he sees fit.
The sets used are painted ones
and in a simplicity of another day
give an authentic theatrical back
ground to the proceedings. The sets
are triumphs in stagecraft.
Presents New PetruchiO
The Petruchio of Mr.. Lunt is a
departure from any have seen on
the stage, vastly different from that
of Mr.. Sothern or Walter Hampden.
This Petruchio is a chap who is
willing to gamble on tanning the
wild Katherine and he realizes that
if he wins over his Kate that he will
have a full pocketbook and loving
wife.
Mr. Lunt has found laughs in this
romping character which have never
been discovered before He is mag
nif1cent in every romping mood and
he is glorious in the little after
thought" at the end of the play
where he and his Katherine are in
the clouds on chariot, bound con-
tinually toward happiness.
Miss FontanneS Katherine is a
revelation in bad temper at first
and then Womanly grace when. she
is conquered. She yells, she screams
and then she obeyS.
One of the cleverest scenes in the
comedy is when she hides oranges

CHICAGO, March IL GN.S).
For the second time in four
months Samuel insult today stood
acquitted of criminal charges
growing out of the collapse of his
vast utilities empire.
After two hours and As minutes
of heated deliberation a jury in
the Criminal Court of Judge Cor
nelius Harrington at midnight
last night found the aged insult
not guilty of embezzlement.
insult was charged with en-
bezzling $4,000 from the Middle
West Utilities Company, of which
he was chairman, to bolster the
private brokerage account of his
brother Martin late in 1851 when
the insult structure began to
crumble. Martin insult was then
president of Middle West, a giant
holding company.
The whte-haired defendant,
jubilant at the decision which was
generally hailed as the end of the
insult prosecutions, smiled broadly
and exclaimed
Il am delighted with the
verdict"
Beside him in the sparsely-filled
courtroom were his son, Samuel
insult, jr.. and his brother. insult
warmly shook the hand of each
member of the jury, three of
whom were investors in various
insult companies.
