THEATERGOERS AGAIN TO FACE NORMAL WEEK (Continnnl From Pate Fiv®.) ketrers who fight all odds to win three modern Juliets. -I- -!- -:- IVIUU B MACK AND PLAYERS WILL HEAD KEITH’S NEW BILE. Topping the bill at Keith’s next week starting Monday afternoon, will be the not of Wilbur Mack and company, who will appear In a comedy playlet written by Mr. Mack called "Two Is Company.” Mr. Mack Is an author, actor and playwright and has many successes to his credit. In this playlet Mr. Mack will be assisted by Arthur Carl, George Burke. I ouie Holly and Edourd Sheasby. The act has to do with the complications that result from country club flirtation. A number of songs are used during the life of the playlet. Bert Fitzgibbons. who Is known as "The Original Daffy-Dll,” returns with anew bunch of “hokum." He will be assisted in his fun making by his brother Lew. James B. Donovan and Marie Lee, who are billed as “The King of Ireland and The Dancing Butterfly,’’ will offer an act of comedy, singing and dancing. The act of Ethel MacDonough, a popular Keith favorite, is called Milady's Busy Day.” She offers a satire on the woman who is kept busy all day doing nothing. The sketch was written by Miss MacDonough herself. Fink’s Mules and a number of highly trained dogs and ponies will offer an equine novelty that is out of the general run for acts of this kind. James Evans and Louis Perez, equilibrists, will present a number of new stunts. Including the balancing of one man at the top of a sixty-foot pole while standing ou his head. Toney, the wandering violinist. is a musician who will keep the audience guessing whether he is a boy or girl. Leona Stephens and Len D. Hollister will be seen in a comedy playlet called “Back to Beverly Hills." The scenes of the play are laid near the motion picture colony in Hollywood, Cal. GREAT COMPOSER COMES TO DIRECT BIG ORCHESTRA. Victor Herbert, famous composer, will personally conduct the orchestra of “The Girl In the Spotlight” at the opening of his new musical comedy at Eugllsh’s on Thursday night, according to word received by Manager Ad Millet’ today. While “The Girl In the Spotlight” is one of the funniest pieces of its kind, employing as It does, three leading comedians, whereas most shows are satisfied with one. It is, nevertheless, full of class, and Mr. Herbtr s score is said to be the most tuneful and popular since that of his well-remembered “Mile. Modiste." A brigade of feminine loveliness is promised, but Mr. Lederer wishes it distinctly understood that none of the young ladles rank as chorus girls, and are termed by him as ’sub-principals.” because of their superiority as singers and dancers. Harold Skelly, Eddy Dowling and Nat Carr are the three leading comedians.

two men will be a special attraction at j the Lyric next week. The Davenport | troupe ranks among the aristocrats of , the circus world and they have brought ' to the variety stage anew type of an act. Riders are a rarity on the stage owing to the limited space in which the j horses have to work, but the Davenports j have successfully overcome this hand!- i cap, performing all the feats in the one ring that is constructed for them; that it is possible to oecomplish under a cir- j cus tent. Another headline offering will be Dot !

She Is a magnetic, appealing and vivacious artiste of consummate variety. Her emotional moments were less satisfying than her lighter periods. But she was always arresting, and the play, with at least three atractlve members composed by Herbert Storhart, Is an amusing and entertaining affair.

Arthur Hammersteln has given It a good presentation, and “Jimmie" Is now as popular as any of the musical plays on Broadway. ACTRESS SETS ' NEW MARK AT OHIO THEATER (Continued From Page Five.) has been seen in “Male and Female" and "Why Change Your Wife?” Theodore Roberts, veteran Paramount character, has one of the most difficult parts of bis screen career in the part of Luke Anderson, the stern father, who blinds himself In a fit of rage. Roue, gambler of the twentieth century and speed driver In his many varied roles, Mr. Roberts declares that the part of Luke presents the hardest work he ever did in his life, necessitating as It a did a study of all the characteristics peculiar, to sightless men. -I- -i- -IRAY IS OLD-FASHIONED IN' HIS LATEST MOVIE PLAY'. Charlie Ray h-is a familiar role In “An i Old-Fashioned Boy," a comedy written j by Agnes Christine Johnstone, and which j will be the offering at the Alhambra the • first half of next week. Ray plays the part of a youth possessing old-fashioned notions regarding ‘ girls and love. For instance, when the i ideal of his heart permits him to kiss ‘ her, he Just naturally takes it for; granted that they are engaged. Acting ; upon this assumption he builds a bun- ’ gulow cottage, furnishes It throughout j and takes his intended to visit it with the purpose of giving her a surprise. In this he Is successful, but he gets the greater part of the surprise himself, when the girl informs him that he has been entirely too presumptlous, and that so far as he Is concerned he will have to occupy the bouse aloue. Despite his old fnshloned notions, the young man was not slow in action. He concocts a scheme whereby the girl and several others, including himself, are quarantined In the place. No end of funny sltutalons follow and In due time the love lorn swain wins out.

The story unfolded In "The Scoffer" Is extraordinary In many ways, since It concerns a God-fearing physician whose love turns to vicious hate through the cruelty of Fate. HAMMERSTEIN 'iS DRAMATIC IN' “THE DAUGHTER PAYS." A story of a man who marries a girl because he hates her mother and seeks In that way to win revenge Is told In “The Daughter Pays,” the attraction at the Colonial next week with Elaine Hamfnersteiri as the featured player. “The Daughter Pays” Is the screen version of a novel by Mrs. Baile Reynolds and the role In which Miss Ilaro-merstr-ln appears offers unlimited dramatic and emotional opportunities.
