v1ously impossible, the Shubert
Theater has come up the next
best thing to it. It is can Eve
ming With Beatrice Lille" which
opened a two-week engagement
at the Ninth street playhouse last
night. This enterprise has had a
long Broadway run since it's first
appearance here in the summer
of 1852, but it doesn't look it.
Miss Lille and her co-conspi-
rator in the fun, Reginald Gardi-
ner, frolic through the evening
as if they were having fun at a
party instead of repeating Oft
said-lines. They don't merely
display a skilled comedy touch.
They display it with an infectious
zest that spreads vast amount
of good cheer around the prem
ises.
X
can Evening With Beatrice
Lille" is, as you hardly need to
be told, a collection Of the high
spots of her and Mr.. Gardeners
entertainment careers. It's own
big moment is a second act which
consists almost entirely of songs
by the comedienne. who is surely
one Of the three funniest women
in the world. And there are times
when in her presence when you
don't hedge. but agree that she
is the funniest woman in the
world.
One OF these is when she is
singing what she AYERS is folk
song, accompanying herself on
the either. Another is when she
is singing the torch song to end
all torch songs, mot Wanted on
the Voyage" Still another is
when she is demolishing chan
teuse type singers who use flow
ing wells for effect. Her vocal
treaties on the use of the fan in
Irritation is another masterpiece
Of delivery.
Miss Lille, in fact, can get a
bigger laugh taking a bow after
a number than many people can
get with comic song itself. She
does it here after one of those
tender roundelays when she, in
stead of bowling, solemnly sinks
straight down, slowly disappear
ing into the billowing skirt of
her evening gown.
KH
It is one IF Miss Lilies
greatest assets that she is liv-
ing violation of that old saw
about familiarity. All it breeds
in her case is a desire to see her
do the same number over again
soon. Virtually all that she does
during her Shubert frolic is
familiar, but this only adds to
the relish. That skit about the
gushing friend visiting the star
backstage on opening night. for
instance, must have been seen
by almost everyone by this time.
It is still delight, though.
When Miss Lille says, "You
must come to the party, I'm
having four piano players and
a trained bear" it is a very
funny line no matter how many
times you hear it.
She has few peers, too. in the
injection of sudden nonsense,
either vocally or with props. Her

fine, then comes up to 1--WE
should have known from the
start, we never should have or
dered a la carte" Then there is
that sudden fling of the long
string of pearls when Miss Lille
is telling of the "Faeries at the
Bottom of Our Garden" No mat
ter how often you watch that
necklace swing around her neck,
Slip over her shoulders and spiral
slowly around her to the floor,

Probe Of Rights Violations

bedside.
Meanwhile. the case involving
the beating of two Negroes has
been placed before federal grand
jury. The two victims, Jacob
Jackson and Samuel Crawford, re-
quired hospital treatment after
their Interrogation by police.
But Browns resolution, demand
ing a probe, placed brutality in
the hundreds. He asked for a $50,-
600 appropriation by the Board of
Estimate for the investigation,
which he said would sift all
charges of brutality ever made
against present members of the
force and all cases in the last 10
years which resulted in payments
by the city to victims or survivors.
Brown listed other cases of bru-
tality over a 10-year period to run
into the hundreds.
There were also reports that the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has
become interested in the probe.
Brown said he had been informed
by Attorney Edward Jacko, of the
New York NAACP Branch, that
a Negro woman had been refused
a summons on three occasions
when she went to Uptown Magis-
trate Court to bring action against
a policeman whom she accused of
beating her while he was drunk.
Brown said that ''Mr. Jacko
stated that the Magistrate Court
works hand and glove with the
police. 1t hes extended judicial
Immunity even in cases of the
most fragrant. charges, with the
evidence staring the magistrates in
their faces--bleod, bruises, cuts,
patches-eyery evidence that pris-
oners were mistreated."
The NAACP called a meeting
for Sunday at the Friendship Bap-
tist Church. 144 West 131st Street,
to protest police brutality and

NEW YORK.-A resolution has

The measure was introduced in
