THIS WEEK IS LAUGH WEEK At Most of the Local Playhouses

Mr anil Mrs. Indianapolis went to their homes last night completely puzzled, absolutely mystified anil not a little, apprehensive. The cause of these mixed emotions was Alexander, probably better known as "she Man Mho Knows," who is appearing at Englislt's this week. There is no gaiusaying the fact that Alexander is a good magician and a clever man. The various feats of Alexander are made more difficult by the fact that the stage is fully lighted during the mtire performance. ' The materialization of a living person jpon a fully lighted stage, catching fish -live fish-out of the air from over the heads of the audience and the reproduction of famous paintings, portraits of . any person, dead or alive upon blank canvass, are a few of the wonders performed by Alexander. In the intter experiment Alexander offered the opportunity for any person : in the audience to write the name of any person living or dead, or the name of any painting known in the world of art, to be reproduced on a blank canvass. The selections last night included Alexander's prediction as to the next , President of the t'niteil States and the sister of a woman in the audience, who declared it was a true likeness. One of the most mystifying and ap- ! parently impossible feats performed b> this modern magician was the writing of . a verse from the Bible on two slates, tied face to face with a handkerchief. ' while the slate was in the possession j of'' one of the audience. The verse hail previously been selected | st random by another person in the theater. At English's the balance of the week. I AXMK MAKES YOU HOWL, 1 ANNIE MAKES YOl IKY. She can make you laugh un,til you are ready to put up the white flag and ask for *a truce, and she can as easily make one apply a handkerchief to the eye in an effort to mop up a few tears. Such results as those constitute real acting and such are obtained at the hands of Fannie T'sher in ‘‘The Bide-A-Wee Home," which is by far tb? best act on the new bill at B. F. Keith's this week. As the slangy girl, who is brought into a doctor's heme nf'er she has "done time.” Miss Usher, with the assistance of Claude Usher, is able to command attention by her powerful personality and the masterful way in which she turns from comedy to the sob stuff. No better acting seen this season at Keith's than the slangy girl of Miss Usher. William Ebs has a surprise offering which is enjoyable because it turns out to be so different from the regular run of things on the vaudeville stage. "The New Moon.” with llermlne Shone did not work its magic on the reviewer, although it a pretty act with an Irish setting. During the action of the pioie Miss Shone sings several tuneful number* and dances a bit with Billy Ithodes, but somehow this act appeared to just miss being the real goods. It is beautifully mounted but lacked the big punch necessary to make an au dience “rave” over it. Kekoma opens the bill and is followed by Kyan and Ryan, who dance with the longest shoes worn on the stage. Karl Karey is a good pianist and pleases. Burt Gordon and Gene Ford have a noisy and rough burlesque offering on singing which lacks class. The Xightons close the show in a pos tng offering.—W. iy H. * -i- -U -IBOZO ACTS KOK TWO HOI RS AND DOES NOT SAY A WORD.

this man “Bozo” Tommy Snyder, who does not say a word on the stage for two hours, but yet is funnier without the spoken word, has made upon the public. Tbe name of Bozo guarantees a bunch of real laughs and the showgoing public knows it, although Bozo utters not a word. Bozo is at his' best in wrecking a taxi and the manner in which he handles his comedy situations easily puts him at the head of the class of comedians of his type. This silent oamodlau appeals primarily to the men, but the show this season I .with which he is connected is so eon- , . *„,i *| ln f „ number of Messing Jazz songs are introduced between Bozo's stunts. Bozo changes costumes this season, that is, he changes hats anil coats while the audience again laugh at the fintics : of thte man. ' Billy Mclntyre as Slim, the pal of Bozo, is a satisfactory foil for the comedian and the singing end of the show is handled by Hallie Do-ane, Babe Burnett, Evelyn Stevens and a singing and dancin'- clin-iia. Bozo Is a whole show in himself anil is on view all week at the Park. \V. 1). H. -ITHE CHAPINS PLAY MANY KINDS OF INSTRUMENTS. "The Five Chapins,” in musical num- ’ bers which include vocal selections as well as instrumental, occupy the stellar j position on this week’s bill at the Lyric. ] The Five Chapins play almost every j kind of musical instrument and that • their entertaining qualities are übove par is shown by the fact that they answered several curtain calls. . One of the brightest spot* of the bill is Ernest Hiatt, a talkative funster, who made a genuine, hit with his line ot songs and funny conversation. Profiteering landlords come in for theii share of knocks, timely and clever, in a comedy playlet entitled ”1 Want My Rent," which is presented by Fred and Peggy Dymin, assisted by a capable company. "I Want My Kent," is an extremely funny faree, dealing with the present

day difficulty of finding an apartment and holding it after finding it. It is cleverely presented anil acted. Songs and dances, with a mixture of new puns, are the contributions of Joe and Sadie D'Lier. The songs are new and the jokes clever and this pair of performers do much toward providing some genuine entertainment. "The Troubles of a Janitor," a monolog that Is both novel and witty, is presented by Welcn and Hazleton. A few of the puns are new and the offering ns a whole is pleasing. Wilbur and Adams, comedy acrobats, introduce a sketch called “The Fall Guy,” in which some clever acrobatic novelties are introduced. Both Wilbur and Adams are accomplished acrobats and perform their various feats with a grace that denotes skill and practice. I- -1- -!- VANITY GIRLS AT THE RIALTO. . Hal Rathbun and his Vanity Girls are the feature offering at the Rialto this week In musical comedy. One of the features is a beauty chorus, as well as the costumes worn by the principals as well as the chorus. Bate Ward, a singer, is one of Rathbun's chief assistants.

A Gold Star Mother PLEADS FOR The League of Nations Elizabeth, New Jersey. George White, Esq., Chairman Democratic National Committee, Care New York Times, New York City. Dear Sir: — Please accept the enclosed small contribution to the fund for dissemination of the truth about the League of Nations, It is literally a “widow’s mite,” but it comes from a mother who sent four greatly needed sons to the World War. Two of these sons, with almost unlimited possibilities for future usefulness, were killed; a third was ill in hospitals in France for five months, due to gassing in action, and is still classified as “unfit,” and a fourth risked his precious young life in the air. When an honest and concerted effort is being made by the nations of the earth to save, if possible, future mothers and sons from these sacrifices, it is hard to realize there are those who oppose such an effort. I feel sure that among those who paid for the war there can he but one opinion, and that is to try the League of Nations, even if it is not perfect. It is the best that has been proposed, and, all objections being weighed, is manifestly the most feasible. Please God it will not fail. Very truly yours, MARIE A.
