HOPE OF SUCCESS FOR BONUS FAILS * INFACEOFVETO Meuse May Override Harding When Measure Comes From White House. SENATE SHOWS 34 AGAINST Efforts to Weaken Opposition Reported to Be Without Encouragement. By United Frets WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.—Soldier bonus supporters virtually abandoned hope today that an adjusted compensation bill can be made into law at this session of Congress. Before night President Harding is expected to veto the Fordney-MeCum-ber bonus measure and send it back to Congress with a vigorous message detailing the reasons for his action. Awaiting official word from the executive, but without hope that it would be favorable, bonus advocates made a final drive to line up sufficient votes to override a veto. They learned, it was admitted, that they face almost certain defeat. An eleventh hour poll of the full Senate, it was said, showed that thirtyfour Senators, one more than is re- . quired, will vote to sustain a veto. Trepnendous efforts were being made totlay to influence several of these Senators to change their minds, but none, it was reported, displayed a sign of weakening. There was no doubt that the House would pass the bill over the veto. BOY RUN DOWN David Hockett Injured by Car Driven by Russell Geddes. David Hockett, 8, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dorval Hockett, 1135 E.

‘Avenoo’ Joints Unwontedly Quiet With Police ‘ Lid 9 Clamped Down

By DOXALD D. HOOVER i Where are the bone rollers of yesteryear? Where have gone the cab- J aret habitues of the "avenoo?” The answer seems to be that nobody knows. A round of thirteen “clubs,” two cabarets, and other places which were buzzing with activity last February revealed that three “clubs" are closed, the “Bucket o' Blood" has been replaced by a restaurant, and few of the places sheltered more than three negroes. Exclusive of about sixteen negroes in the cabarets, there were only about twenty-five in all of the "clubrooms." Since the police department shakeup >and the stringent orders issued pgainst gambling, the negroes appear to have ceased t.ckling the ivories. At least, they do not frequent the same places as they did formerly. Sergeant Russell was assigned to the division last Friday. Yesterday the Golden West Club and poolroom, owned and operated by Archie (Joker) Young, proprietor of the Golden West cabaret, was closed for the first time in years. This "club" was one of the chief sources of trouble In the last administration. Since Sergeant Russell’s coming to the negro district, nine neg Toes have been arrested for bootlegging, thirteen were arrested on statutory charges and a large craps game was raided and a number of men arrested. These cases are pending In city court. The “clubs” of the "Avenoo” bear some wonderful examples of the negro selection of names. Some of them are called: The Jazz-80, Dreamland, the Union Athletic Club, without even a punching bag: the Panama Social Club, run by Harry "Goosie” Lee. negro politician; the Appomatax Club, the Waldorf Club, the Pioneer Club, the Lincoln Club, the Keystone

Burglars attempted to enter an electric supply store at 1923 N. Illino.s St., twice last night. A glass was broken from a rear window, but the two men were frightened away. Mrs. E. J. Narwick, who lives in an apartment over the store heard the men trying to open the front door later today. She screamed and the men ran. The police failed to find the prowlers.

Club, the Sixth Ward Club and the Delmonico Club. Every one of these clubs is located on a second or third floor, increasing the difficulty of finding a game in progress. In addition, they are all equipped with mirrows on the landings which show when a person entt-rs the door. In many of the gambling houses buzzers are hidden. When a policeman is seen to enter the door the watcher presses the buzzer, the “boys'' gather the cue and start "knocking the ball around." When the officers get upstairs, they are greeted with a “hello" and the negroes nonchalantly play pool until their departure. In only one of the places visited last night was any evidence of gaming to be found. This was only in the actions of some of the negroes. No dice or money was to be seen. In the club where the largest number of negroes was gathered a watcher sat at the second story turn in the steps. He held a box in which there were a number of knives. Each negro who entered was searched. If he “carried anything.” he checked it, unless it were liquor. Then he was sent away until he had drank it. "Lost City." that tumble-down “hang-out," for Saturday night neg Toes, has been closed ever since a raid some time ago when forty persons were arrested. The cabarets are very quiet. The festive air of old has gone and is replaced with forced gayety which burns out long before the wee hours. The negro places in the 1300 and 1400 block on N. Senate Ave. are also quiet. "Rufe" Page’s place in the 1300 block Is very quiet as compared to the days before the “lid” was on and the other large negro amusement hall at Fifteenth St. and Senate Ave. is outwardly devoid of excitement.

Trained Animals Take Honors at Vaudeville Houses This Week

By WALTER D. HICKUAX This week seems to be “animal" week in the vaudeville houses. A trained seal is the chief “animal” attraction at B. F. Keith’s. The Shu-bert-Park contributes trained dogs and donkeys and the Lyric adds a whole circus act, the Riding Costellos. The Shubert-Park also presents Alfred Latell, who impersonates a dog. Keith's offers a circus playlet minus the real animals, although we see make-believe animals. -I- -|- -!• A Trained Seal Ray G. Huling has had splendid luck in training a seal and making a comedian of his pet. I have seen many trained seals on the stage, but Hilling's seal now at Keith's shows that the trainer has made a pal out of this animal from the sea. It smokes a pipe, "talks” into a telephone, juggles oranges and lemons, plays old-fashioned tunes on the bells and does other stunts. A remarkable animal. The bill at Keith’s runs more to quantity than quality. The bill doesn’t have the grand "smash” last week's had. Ever/ bill can’t have its Oriole Orchestra. Pauli and Goss—A poorly arranged turn called “The Co-Weds.” Never gets started. Need material. "The Little Cottage”—Been here before. Belongs to that refined and pretty musical comedy family the public enjoys. Dancing good, comedy smart and clean; principals sing and dance pleasantly. Nicely mounted. Has the services of Frank Sinclair, Cliff Dixon, Ethel Russell, Marie Saxon and Kathleen Morris. Scanlon, Denno Brothers and Scanlon—Singing and dancing. One is a woman who impersonates a man. Waltz quadrille nicely done. "The Heart of a Clown”—Disappointing. Doesn’t ring true. Nicely mounted, but the pathos and the heart of the story has been rendered too theatrical. Harriet Rempel is featured. James Burke and Eleanor Durkin — Burke specilizes in “blues” 6ongs. By eliminating certain verbal “comedy” this act would be greatly helped. Burke knows how to sing “Wabash Blues” and the audience knows that he knows how. Sam Adams and J. P. Griffith—“A Music Lesson.” Here is hoakum, tons of it, but Gosh! how yesterday's audience ae it up. Landed the first real applause of the bill. Bins and Grill—Gymnastic. Closes the show. •I- •!• -IA Little Love Tour Capitola and Georgette De Wolf, in Jack Held’s “A Carnival of Fun,” the third Shubert unit show to he presented at the Shubert-Park, have an unique idea in their vaudeville offerings. It is called “A Love Tour.” during which the two girls sing and dance Russian, Spanish, French and American songs. The De Wolf girls are good dancers and they know how to dress their act. When reviewed, the orchestra and the pianist of the act seemed to get out of step. When this is corrected, the act will measure up as the brightest spot of the bill. This show opens with a sort of a musical comedy idea with the chorus present. Several of the principals ap pear in dances and songs. Then the stage is clearer for the Roman Troupe. This team has a number of rapid and

sure-fire acrobatic turns, but their act is hindered by some low comedy. Clark and Verdi in the first half of the show engage in some original patter concerning the efforts of one member of the team to get the other to capture wild oats. In the revue proper, these Italian comedians arrive with some funny chatter concerning the efforts of one to sell 50cent statuary for $5. Clemens Belling Company presents a strange mixture of animal acts with acrobatics of human beings. One of the dogs juggles a hoop on his tail. Jack Reid makes his appearance in the gasoline filling station. He dreams his usual wild dreams. He uses a tin lizzy to illustrate his remarks this season. Reid is known as “The Information Kid.” The revue then slips into an underworld sketch called "Circumstantial Evidence.” Reid appears as “The Information Kid” in this playlet. Alfred Latell, who is easily the best impersonator of animals before the public, is a winner near the finish of the show by impersonating a dog. During the revue several song numbers are introduced. This show is not as elaborately equipped with scenery as the two Shubert shows which have preceded it. The chorus is not so strong on looks, and fair as to voice. -I- -l- -|- Headline Race at Lyric Three acts run a close race for headline honors at the Lyric this week. The Novelle brothers have an exceptionally clever novelty act. They certainly five up to the billing of another act in vaudeville known as "The Classy Clowns.” They do tumbling stunts while playing violin and a funny whistling bit in which they imitate a bird fl.rtation. Johnny Elliott and company is another bright spot on the bill. They impersonate well-known dancers. The act is clevely arranged. The Riding Costellos equestrian stars, give a circus atmosphere to the bill. They do some clever riding and have some well-trained horses. Hayden, Hall and Snyder b.ll themselves as "The Three Senators,” but appear in bartenders' attire. They are three big jovial fellows who handle comedy well and put over some harmony songs. Though Billie Roder pulls some old stuff in h,s stories, he makes up for it by singing several brand new comedy songs. He just about tied up the show with his closing number. Oliver and I.ee have some clever comedy material and know’ how to use it. The male member of the team is a past master at playing a banjo-uke. Tile and Tide, in one of the most clevor comedy pantomime acts that has appeared in this house for some time, and Noblet and Ogden, two girls in a comedy act. complete the b.ll. (Reviewed by J.

It seems the average burlesque comedian was lost when he had to eliminato suggestive material, but not so with Weber, for he is funny without resorting to smut.
