‘Elevator Mirrors Slow Up Service in Big Buildings Praetice of Looking at One's Self May Lead to Discarding Reflectors. The cargo put out of action caused by a flivver that declines to be cranked when the traffic cop is beautifying the , atmosphere with such choice epigrams of the English language that the telegraph company would refuse to transmit the communications, is a small town incident In comparison to the congestion of traffic produced by the individual who Insists upon parking In front of the elevator mirror during the rush hour In the gray dawn. But speaking of elevator mirrors the moet prevalent etyles consist of those which are clean and those which are not. There are also mirrors which reflect one’s Image in a flattering fashion, and those which reflect It In a longitudinal manner, making the fat woman appear gracefully slim. Then, there are mirrors which are too small and those which are too worn out to have any relationship with aelf-reepectlng mirrors. Mirror styles also Include those which are placed In a desirable position at the entrance of the elevator and those which are tucked away where nobody would ever think of looking. SIGN FAILS TO STOP PRACTICE. This particular elevator mirror was placarded with a modest sign on whies Ifnky black letters suggested to the pssseDger: “Keep away from the mirror. Step to the rear of the car." The first customer ambled in, halted abruptly before the mirror and removed his hat. Evidently he had forgotten the ceremony of combing his hair; for he extracted a pocket comb from the interior of his costume. About this time more passengers arrived oa the scene, but the toilet was continued until the elevator man’s attention was' attracted by the supplicating glances of the late comers. "Heb, move, can’t you ?” he demanded belligerently. T|e~>nvDer of the comb gave an indignant look at the disturbers of his toilet and grudgingly vacated the-.<veted position. Toe -most recent arival, all dolled up iln , a fur coat and anew spring hat. jHpped into his with dexterity applieiV the rest of a box of pink her face, giving herself the appearof suffering from a high fever. The man expostulated again and ■ rally got the door shut. P Half a dozen pieces of baggage hating teen discharged, the elevator mar. Breathed more freely. P “This here lookin’ glass is the most Attractive thing in the whole outfit.” he Bonllded to the only occupant of the car pho had not endeavored to get a chance t It. "Now, 1 ost look at that man over there now,” and sure enough, there was la man whose facial members gaTe assurance of recent evolution from the monkeybrotherhood, adjusting his tic at a particular angle. With care lie tilted his hat at a more tilty tilt and called “Three out.” “Three,” grunted the elevator man. “next stop is mine. Take the elevator on the other side down.” “Back a while when folks just began using lookin’ glasses In elevators we had one with ’em and one without. The one that didn't have ’em was like a Sunday school room on a week day. Why. the girls would line up and wait live minutes for the other car to come back, and the men would hang around talkin' to the women like they was Just a waitin' because the girls wanted ’em to. But they made a dive for that lookin’ glass worse than the women did.” Having let more passengers out of the car he continued his eommuniertion to the effect that men were worse than women wjth the philosophical infornntlon tb->t pretty girls patronized their reflector while the most homely men were its patrons. PSYCHOLOGY *>F IT ALL. P “The only way T can get it figured P*ut,“ declared the psychologist, “is that fa girl doesn't want to see how bad look|in’ she Is and she gives np hofle for ail |tba/time, while the uglier a man gets I the more he hope.s. I “Anyway, you know styles in elevators ■ with mirrors are going out of date. All Itbe newer building architects are makin' ■ 'em without. They say It does away ■ with a lot of slowness in running the ■ cart. It sure would cause less confusion ■when It comes to unloading the passengers.” But why should any one worry about snch a trivial thing as a mere minor when Webster defines it us a “speculum?” All that is necessary Is to carry a little mirror in the upper vest pocket.

Her. 25.-Fire which started in the basement of the building; of the Havana Importing: Company, manufacturers of cigars, last night caused a loss of approximately $150,000 Flames shot up the elevator shaft and enveloped the three-story building, which will be a total loss.

SANTOS AND HAYES REVUE IS THE FOLLIES Os Vaudeville— ‘Charm School ’ Charms—Marcus Show at English's

Buster Santos has taken her enormous weight hnd Jncques Hayes has taken her lack of weight and her double voice and have placed these qualities in The Santos and Hayes Revue. This revue has been in existence for about five weeks, maybe not that long, but it Is safe to say that it is one of the most enjoyable revues aver presented at Keith's. Misses Pantos and Jacques are not the whole show, as they have the assistance of Will Higgle and Bobbie Tremaine, two splendid dancers, and Paul Marshall, who can dance very well. The revue starts in the office of Dr. "Fix-’em-up.” who makes over theatrical acts that fall. Into this office comes a dramatic woman, a Pveneb soubrette, an opera star, a sister team, a wire walker and Ilayes and Pantos. This gives Pantos and Hayes a chance to do their wellknown Bnster Brown offering, and It Is again the grpat scream which it was in p.'st seasons The doctor makes them over and Miss HayeS and Miss Santos appears in some henutlful gowns and do a splendid musical act. Then the other members are brought in to do some splendid dancing numbers. Will Higgle hrld up fHe show with a Russian Whirl dance. Miss Santos, who admits she is fat and it is all real, breaks down a doorway in getting *ntn the stage. This is good for a big howl from the audience and gets the act off to a big finish. Opinion—Here Is the biggest thing In the revue line on the vaudeville stage. The Santos and Haye.s revue is the Win-,, ter Garden and the Follies of the two-a-day. The remainder of the hill is splendid and consists of Bert Kenney and I. RNobody, a wonderful hit: Lynch and 7-ellar in a hat throwing act: Jack Rolls and Ruby Royce iu a knockout dancingact. they' held up the show: Howard's trained dogs and ponies; Marie Dorn m impersonations and Lucas and luez in a good acrobatic offering. At Keith’s all week. —W. D. H. -i- -1- -IMARCIS SHOW NOW AT KNGLISH’S. The Marcus Show of 1920, which was press ngented itke a circus, landed on the stage of English’s last night before an enormous audience. It seems the word got around that the things “Aphrodite” did not remove would “come off” in the Marcus show. The mayor, many police women and others were seen in the theater, a* well as many county officers. Nothing -‘came off” which caused the dear law enforcing agents to protest against. This Marcua show is the western idea

“THE CIIARM SCHOOL” NOW AT THE MURAT. A play that ha* all the laughs of n comedy, all the thrills of a love story, and almost has the charm of a musical comedy is “’the Charm School," which is being played *t the Murat all this week after a successful jun In New York. The comedy is not forced, but Is natural, and human. There is a delightful part of the cast composed of young ladles, students at the “Charm School.” In the east, which is the original New York one, is Malcom Duncan In the lending role, as the superintendent of the school. Duncan supplies all the cbaracacters necessary to fulfill the requirements of this exacting part. The part of Elite Benldottl, who Is the president of the senior class of the school, and the ardent admirer of the superintendent, is taken by Mias Miriam Sears, who is as charming and capable as the moat exacting audience could Wish. These two are supported by a capable and excellent cast. Neil Martin, who plays the part of Jim Simpkins, the dancing instructor, will lie recognized as a former member of the Stuart Walker Company hero. He supplies much of the comedy. Tho play aa a whole ia as charming as ihe name suggests, and is interesting, full of novel situations. With the addition of a little music In some of the scenes, especially in the first part of the second act, and making the play more of a musical comedy, many more of the possibilities of the production could be realized. William lienox, as David MacKepzie; Philip Leigh, as George Boyd, the successful suitor of Bliss: Albert llackett. ns Tim Simpkins: Rapley Holmes, as H'dnier Johns, KlU' , 's guardian; Miss T'!l!*o Scott, as th*> stern Miss Hays, and Miss MlnO'.e Dupree n* the tikuble Miss I Curtis, were excellent members of the | east. Miss Dupree has a part In which she fits especially well, and is one of the mainstays of the production. The frivolous Sully, played by Miss Ruth Hatnmond, also was an indispenaible member of the company
