‘THE HOTTENTOT’ IS THOROUGHBRED OF FARCES Good Repeater at Murat—Dream of a Show at Keith’s—Band at Lyric

Occasionally a show comes along which is so crowded with honest laughs and fine-farcical acting that It is as much a treat as a rainbow is after a shower. Such a show is “The Hottentot,” and synonymous with the title is the name of the featured player, William Collier. When you go to “The Hottentot” at English’s tpday or tomorrow, be sure and dust off your laughing apparatus and see that it Is strong enough to stand the strain of two hours of constant use. This show is full of horse talk and “horsey” people, as the title of the play refers to a horse so swift of foot that even a fly can't stay on him. That's the mount which Sam Harrington, who is scared to death of a stable, let alone a horse. Is expected to ride because the dear lady he loves mistakes him for a crack rider. Mr. Collier is Sam and Georgia Lee Hall Is Peggy Fairfax, the girl. There is so much horse talk In and about the Fairfax mansion that Collier allows “This isn’t a home. It is a stable.” Every one in this play is “horse mad’’ except Sam and Surft, the butler, played by Donald Meek. As one would expect, Sam must carry on his bluff that he Is a crack rider so as to be able to win the hand of Peggy, who is "horse” crazy and has her dear little heart set on her horse winning the race. Sam manages to get up enough courage and In the last minutes of the play he sticks on the bask of "The Hottentot” and wins the race and the heart and hand of his lady fair. A recital of the story of this farce can only be a tame affair, but inject the splendid ability of Mr. Collier and his droll humor and the result is a complete riot. The writer has never seen a funnier scene than when Sam and the butler are rehearsing their fear of horses. It is In this scene that Mr. Meek as the butler, and Mr. Collier does some of the cleverest wofik seen on the local stage In many months. The play, of course, abounds with Collierisms and if they were not present It would not be a fit vehicle for Collier. For example. Collier asks Peggy what her racing colors are and on being Informed. she asks him what his colors are. Collier replies, "Black and blue.” Again, Collier consents to bet with his rival that “the Hottentot will come In alone.” Collier uses all of his famous i nervous mannerisms In this play. He gulps down “whisky” like a fireman would turn water upon a fire. The lingering Joke of the play is when Collier wins the race. Not because he is a crack rider, but because the darn horse ran away with him. Another clever bit of business is when Collier and Peggy "sip” coffee In after dinner style out of little cups about the size of a thimble. “The Hottentot” is essentially a Collier triumph and Mr. Meek as the butler wins fume for himself as well. The remainder of the cast hasn't much to do but the remaining roles are adequately handled. Opinion: “The Hottentot” is the thoroughbred of farces and gives one a real run for his money. There are no false values in this play. It Is a good old horse and the rider (Mr. Collier) is as sure a winner as the horse. Not to be missed by those who know how to laugh. At English’s tonight, Wednesday afternoon and night—W. D. H. -I- -I- -!- "TAKE IT FROM ME” REPEATS WELL AT MTRAT. Take a lot of laughs, stir in some good music, mix in a lot of pretty girls, flavor it with the spice of a lot of life, finish off with a dash of snappy costumes and you have “Take It From Me.” the musical comedy which opened at the Murat last night for a week's engagegemtn. repeating Its success of last year. There isn't a barefoot dancer in It, there Is not the least excuse for a background showing the pyramids, not a girl in it but appears in perfectly decent tights; yet, despite all these things, or possltily because of them and a lot of other things, it is a good show. The time given by many modern musical shows to display of bare skin and ! the shaking of wicked hips is given in j this show to delightful foolishment and lines with real laughs in them. But don't get the Idea that the show Is not snappy from the costume standpoint. The scene is laid in a department store, which gives the dear things ample opportunity to "Unger In their lingerie.” The story hinges around one Tom Eggett, who Inherits a department store, with the restriction that the first year under his management shall show a | profit. Otherwise, the store goes to Cyrus Crabb. Tom and his two friends, Vernon Van Dyke and Dick Roller, decide they can't show a profit, so they attempt to wreck the business to keep Crabb from getting it; but the fool thing shows a profit after all. That’s all there is to the plot. Much of the comedy is supplied by Charles Meaklns as Dick Roller and Alice Hills as Ella Abbott, office assistant. The Gardiners. Arline. Helen and Edgar, besides taking leading character parts, do some wonderful and elaborate dancing. Marjorie Sweet plays well the part of Queenie La Rel'e, the movie vamp. Miss Beatrice Bradner assists in the melody. The most catchy tunes are “‘The Call of the Cozy Little Home” and “Take It From Me.” -I- -I- -IA DREAM OF A BILL AT KEITH’S THIS WEEK. This week's bill at B. F. Keith's gives one the Impression that the bookers of this bill must be angels. Not the kind of ang£j£ who hand out the coin to make a show overnight, but the kind who know how to put a vaudeville show together. The bookers of this week's bill have been more than kind, they have been generous, as they hate put on one bill such recognized entertainers as John Hyams and Leila Mclntyre, Val and Ernie Stanton, Horace Wright and Rene Dietrich, Merlin, Billy Arlington and others. It Is a dream of a bill. Mr. Hyams and Miss Mclntyre, the latter being noted for her Quaker girl

A MELODY HELPER ? 1 MISS BEATRICE BRADNER. One of the helpers in melody In “Take It From Me,” now at the Murat, Is Miss Bradner, who has the role of Grace Gordon. She helps in putting over the song, “The Call of the Cozy Little Home.” impersonations, are appearing in a little affair called “Maybloom.” The title of the sketch Is based on the name of a picture of a sweet, old-fashioned maiden. During the clever repartee. Miss Mclntyre has a chance to sing a song of youth. Miss Mclntyre again proves this season that in this quaint, clean and refreshing work she srands at the head of the profession. Mr. ■ Hyams again lends the necessary support to make the rlaylet one of the refreshing events of the season. It is always with pleaslnr* that 1 write of Vat and Ernie Stanton, who can be relied upon to deliver original fun with some sense to It. These two men are a fixture on big time vaudeville and thetr “nut” expressions have a point which many of their imitators fall to l imitate. When Val and Ernie Stanton I ere on a bill it's a safe bet that all Is well. Horace Wright and Rene Dietrich are singers of refinement, who possess the ability to sing sugar coated melodies, always leaving the sugar on the audience side of the footlights. They are delicious. (I told you that this was a dream of a bill and it is a dream come true.) George Watts and Belle Hawley. ( coupled with the antic* of Watts and the pleasing voice of Miss Hawley, find the going easy. Watts scores with hla parodies of a rather rapid nature The Uyeda Boys, Japanese barrel Jugglers, close the show. Wayne Beeman and Alma Grace open the bill. The comedy knockout of the bill ts secured by Billy Arlington and his assistants. Eleanor Arlington, C. I. Taylor and E. F. Hennessey. Arlington and his company held up the show yesterday when the bill was reviewed. The show could not go on until Arlington came back and gave two encores. Arlington belongs to the pxtravagant form of nonsense and as he increases bis musical extravagance, the house becomes a laugh factory. I don’t care if you like Ibsen or Shaw. Arlington will make you like him and everything he does. He knows how to put nn offering together to land ia comedy wallop and he Is certainly doling it at Keith's this week. I didn't mean to skip Merlin who stages some of the cleverest card tricks seen here for many moons. If you want your dreams to come true, go to Keith's this week and take the whole family. W. D. H. -I- -I- -IPHJLIPPINO BAND IS A MELODIOUS HIT. People who live In the island countries seem to be able to produce the melody which charms those who do not live in the warm countries. That is the impression we obtained while hearing the Royal Philippine String Band at the Lyric. Without any attempt to be theatrical, i these six members of the band play number after number, blending their entire ! offering into a pleasing affair. Vaudeville can stand more acts of this ; nature, as the public appears to apprei date music when played on a string ln--1 strumont. This band has wisely selected I the numbers on their program and they j appear to enjoy their efforts as much as nn ntidlenee. Os course, we know the bill | Is a lengthy one this week but this band ‘ should have more timg. This baud Is a I treat. The sketch of the bill Is called “The New Leader,” which is one of those bare stage affairs which was used to so much advantage in "Miss Nobody From Starl.ind.” There is a lot of amusing “business” In this act. The comedy goes over with a bang. The Clark Girls appear in songs and have an engaging way about them which puts over their offering.

no silly chatter but rely upon their songs to win them favor. The comedy wallop of the bill appears to l>e Johnson and Parsons In an offering called “Jazz That’s Jazz,” and the act is properly named. One of the men has a knockout of a dance, during which he even dances on his head. The remainder of the bill consists of Rose and Dell, Sam Posce and Gordon and Lamar. At the Lyric all tht* week. -I- -I- -!- "CI TIES” SELDOM WEAR SKIRTS IN “CUTIES” SHOW. The chorus girls in the “Cute Cuties” show seldom appear in skirts during the first act, as tights appear to be the fashion in this show. This show, judged by tile first act, might be called “A Tight Revue,” as that appears to be the prevailing costume. Tights, with the necessary ruffles around the waist of the wearer, are no longer “shocking” at this late day. Even two of the chief female players of tne cpmpany appear in tights In song numbers. This first act is a good example of speed, as the principals have a great deal to do in song ahd nonsense and the chorus is trotted cn and off the stage many times. One of the hits of the show is Miss Barrly Melton in “Moments of Melody.” Her best number is “The Japanese Sandman.” Frances Farr is the featured woman player, and she has a clever number called “You Ought to See Her Now.” Miss Farr wears black tights to advantage while singing “Leader of the Band.” Eddie Golden has a good voice and a pleasing manner and illustrates the wisdom of placing him in the company. He has a funny bit with Manny Besser called “The Cook,” which is good for many laughs. Mr. Bosser and Harry Seymour carry the comedy end of the show, staging their business with speed which causes the show to move rapidly. The second half of the first act takes place on a submarine. A funny drill is staged in this act. Miss Rose Allen has her chance while singing “Laughing Vamp" in this scene. The second act, like the first, has two scenes which are crowded with song numbers. The first act of “Cute Cuties” is a speedy and clever offering which gives the principals and the chorus enough to do. “Cute Cuties" urmaina at the Park all week. * *l* -t- -I----AT THE RIALTO. The La Zelias open this week's bill at the Rialto with a fast ring and trapeze act. The Westons follow In a Binging and talking offering of a character nature. Lewis Miller and company offer a rural comedy sketch which is different from the regular run of playlets of this type. Robert Lees is a trick banjo player. Some of his stunts are difficult. Chatham and Dancourt, the blackface entertainer and the lady, offer a harmony affair. Mansfred and Flora present a cycle of dances. Cleo Madison in “The Girl from Nowhere” is the movie feature of the bill. -I- -I- -ISTIXE CHILDREN HEAD BROADWAY BILL. The Stine Children h<*ad the current bill at the Broadway. This act is composed of two boys and a girl in a lively offering. The Grouch Richards Trio offer a spectacular singing and novelty act. John Raymond is a ventroloqulst. Inman and Cunningham are slngera and dancers. Zeno and Terry, a man and a dog, offers a novelty In which the dog plays an important part. The bill includes Lawrence and Harvey. The balance of the program consists of cabaret singers and entertainers and movie comedies. -I- -I- -I----OX THE SCREEN.
