MUSICAL REVUES HOLD FULL SWAY HERE NEXT WEEK (Continued from Page Eight) Bosh, for many years one of th© most popular of story-telling comedians before the American public, and who will enliven the show with new tales. Then there will also be Copeland and Btralne, colored comedians, whose melange of darkey fun, singing and dancing win them favor In a sketch, "Happenings at the Banquet;” Mack and Malley, In bits of variety consisting of songs, talk, dancing and music, and the Kltamura Japs, foot Jugglers and rlsley artists. The screen divertisement will Include “Taking Chances,” a Hall Room Boys' farce. KEITH NEWS Vaudeville headliners continue to distinguish themselves in musical comedy and the legitimate stage. A recent example are Fred and Adele Astaire, beloved by Keith vaudeville patrons, who opened last week In Atlantic City as features of anew musical comedy * For Goodnees Sake.” The Astaires most recent contribution to vaudeville was th arranging of Mrs. Irene Castle’s new act “Let’s Dance” In which she Is now appearing on the Keith circuit. The Astaires staged Mrs. Castle's dances while they themselves were appearing in the Dillingham production “The Love Letter” at the Globe. -I- -I- -IVlvlenne Segal, who made her vaudeville debut In Mt. Vernon last week, has been forced to postpone the remainder of her tour of the B. F. Keith Circuit through a business arrangement recently concluded by Charles Dillingham, E. F. Albee, abd Henry Savage. Mr. Albee had contracted with Mr. Dillingham for Miss Segal's entrance into vaudeville, when Mr. Savage decided that he wanted Mlbs Segal to play the leading role in “The Merry Widow" during its Boston run. Although the contract was signed. Miss Segal was so delighted with hsr new Irvtcg Berlin sketch “An Impromptu Rehearsal,” that she decided to play it for one week before opening up In Boston in the Savage en-

gagement. Later she will resume the sketch on the circuit. Miss Segal has the distinction of having played nothing but leads during the five years of her professional career. Bessie Clayton Is arousing fresh enthusiasm in Brooklyn, where she is appearing at the Orpheum In her rapid-fire dance act, “The Box Party.” Between appearances she finds time to conduct a dally column In a leading Brooklyn daily, giving practical advice to girls who wish to take up dancing as a career, and who write to her on the subject. After all, the old Union Square, most famous theater In New York Is not to be torn down. So much regret was expressed when the announcement was made that the old playhouse was to be demolished, that the present owners have decided to rebuild it, and launch it anew In the amusement world. The Union Square, which was built In 1871, was -the first Keith Vaudeville house in New York City, having b >en taken over by B. F. Keith for continuous performance in April 1883. The rest of the world may be suffering from a building shortage, but the Keith circuit continues to erect new theaters, regardless of conditions. The new Keith house at Dayton, Ohio, on the corner of Fourth' and Ludlow streets, will seat about three thousand people and promises to be one of the best appointed theaters in the country. This theater has only one balcony, which Is designed to seat almost as many people as the orchestra floor and is so arranged that there are no pillars or supports to obstruct a view of the stage. A novel feature Is a large animal room, fitted with every conceivable bind of equipment for the comfort of the “animal actors.” -I- -I- -!- The newest affiliated Keith honse in the metropolitan district is now being built at the corner of Tremont and Webster avenues, the Bronx, by B. S. Moss. The building which has been held up a year on account of the prohibitive costs of construction, is now once more under way, and the house will be opened about next Thanksgiving day. It will seat 2.000 people, and will be built of brick in colonial style, with stores on both the Tremont and Webster avenue fronts. After enjoying twelve weeks of triumph in and about New York in the iate fall. Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean, most original of comedians, have appeared at the

Palace for a return engagement, and are easily the laughing feature of a wonderful bill. They are quite at home in this neighborhood, for many theatre goers will remember that not So long ago Mr Gallagher and Mr. Shean were features of the “Rose Maid” during its long run at the Globe Theater, just across the way from their present engagement. Valeska Suratt has returned to vaudeville in anew sketch “The White Way" In which she appeared at the I’alace last week, and in which she gives a truly dramatic Impersonation of a worldy wise and disillusioned woman of the theatre, and her efforts to save an Innocent young girl. Miss Suratt's gorgeous gowns also come in for their share of Interest among the feminine portion of the audience. The Keith Boys’ band, which has assisted in many notable entertainments for charity, was again called upon to perform last Sunday at the Boy's Club Benefit at the New York Hippodrome. The band played at the request of Charles Sabin, bead of the Guaranty Trust Company, who is president of the Boys’ Club, which is a movement on the part of prominent New York business men to preserve the youth of America from evil Influences. MISS TAYLOR BETTER THAN HER VEHICLE (Continued from Page Right) ent affair In which Miss Garden, Muratore, Polacco and others are involved. The underground belief is that It was the wives, respectively, of Morstar* and Polacco, both being singers themselves and members of the Chicago company ttut without appearances that caused most of the rumpus. In a recent interview Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the noted pianist, outlined the policy which Ir being pursued In Detroit by the Department of Education and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, of which he is also the conductor. Mr. Gabrllowitseh spoke with great pride of the success of the concerts given in the public schools of Detroit by his orchestra. and the gradual Improvement—and appreciation—of the programs. This advancement In the taste of the young music lovers now justified the Inclusion of one or two movements from a noted symphony, and Mr. Gabrllowitseh be-

lieves the time not far distant when an entire symphony may be included. The interview has been taken up by the Board of Education In New York, and a committee Is now Investigating tht available school buildings where such concerts may be given here. New York has more than 1,000,000 school children In the Borough of Manhattan alone, and the plan will be to direct their musical tastes along lines which later will improve the quality, and increase the quantity, of music concerts. Geraldine Farrar’s desertion of the Metropolitan Opera Company has been expected for the past three years, and it was the part of wisdom for the director of this company to prepare for the time when this change was to take place. Jeritza, the new sensation at the Metropolitan has fallen heir to several of the Farrar roles, but there still is no “Carmen’ successor unless It should be Marguerita Sylva, who Is the logical Successor In this role. Calve is no-yv in this country, and her name has been mentioned, but more in a sentimental way than with any Idea that the once famous Carmen could now repeat. With Sylva. who Indisputably stands second to Calve in all the singers who have adopted this role, it is different. She is In the prime of her vocal achievements ns has frequently been manifested in New York, and not even Calve can, or has, brought more color, fire, passion and temperament to the role. One important change has been made in the musical programs of New York this season, and the change, seems desetined to be adopted In other cities as well. That is a recognition of the lighter forms of music and songs. Frederlo Warren’s created a series of ‘ballad concerts” three years ago, and their popularity, with Increasing evidence, would indicate that there are thousands of lovers of good music who are not yet ready for the mystifying groups of high class

Hart’s nearest rival, without in any sense imitating Hart. He has progressed far since the days when he and Helen Holmes used to thrill In their railroad dramas. In "The Ruse of the Rattler” he is cast as a .Western bad man called “The Rattlesnake” because, like the reptile, he never struck before rattling a warning. He had little respect for the iaws of man, but he played fair, and when he was “commissioned” by Henry Morgan, who never did any dirty work that he could hire the other fellow to do, to turn the Sandersons out of their home he resigned on the job. The reason was that he had looked deep Into tho beautiful eyes of Helen Sanderson, played by Lillian Rich, and read there such courage, determination and truth that all his brute strength was powerless before her challenge. From that moment he was the girl’s champion,
