OPERATING METHODS EXPOSED “Gold Diggers’* Show Wily Ways of Greedy Maids

By WALTER D. HICKMAN “Dig, sisters, dig!” That's the tip of one of the busiest little gold diggers, Mabel Munroe, in Avery Hopwood's comedy, ‘‘The Gold Diggers.” Now this Mabel is not a bad sort. Not so good, either. She is just one of the crew of maidens who extracts money in large amounts, painless- ' v 4 ' lieves in making V>M * hay while the sun ’ shines. She also _ has the theory th at “alimony is ' a woman’s best inGERTRUDE sura nee policy.” VANDERBILT. Mabel is a wise litle digger. Her English might not be great, but she knows how to “dig.” The best little “digger” of the crew is Jerry Lamar. “Digging” is a sort of a religion with her until she falls in love. The poor dear didn't intend to, but she was helping out two of her friends. Then she was stung by the love bug. So she dug herself a nice little home and landed a real husband. “The Gold Diggers” is one of those light little bubbles transformed Into a Tiffany pearl by Belasco. I have found that when Belasco is responsible for a production one has the right to feel sure it will be a real production. Although the cast is changed in several respects from the .New York and Chicago companies, I ■ found nothing to be disappointed in with the company now at English’s. Gertrude Vanderbeilt, as a ‘ gold digger” with a heart, is more than satisfactory. This is the Ina Claire role, but Miss Vanderbilt played it in Chicago. Lorraine Lally as Mabel is a delicious scream. Daisy Rudd is a delight as Topsy, a gold digger, who just concentrates and gets what she wants. The company is a large and adequate one. We have waited a long time for “The Gold Diggers." It is rapid fun. It may sound naughty at time, but the “dirt” dished up is so sugar-coated it Is harmless. This play will never win a prize, but it has been a gold mine for its author and producer. At English's tonight, Wednesday afternoon and night. , -|- -|- -|- Lync Celebrates Birthday Ten years ago the Lyric Theater opened ,and the Illinois St. house is celebrating the anniversary this week with a special bill of headliners. A thrilling performance Is that of Jules Jacot, who enters a den of six lions. A large steel cage had been erected on the stage. Jacot was introduced as the most daring lion tamer in the world and he fulfilled that title. The next feature act on the bill was “Tfce Love Nest,’ ’a miniature musical comedy presented by William BrandelL Jack West and Clyde Kerr carried the comedy. Margart Cameron, a dainty star, was the third principal as the bride. Also aiding in the situations and music was a chorus of | pretty dancing girls. ' Will Mastin’s revue as given by twelve colored performers furnished a variety of music of the syncopating

WINNER Y % A ETHEL DAVIS. “Redheads” appear to be easy Winers. That applies to Ethel Davis in “Echoes of Broadway,” now at the Shubert-Park. She admits in song that she is a “redhead.” Her material at times is broad. She wins by personality.

for comparison with the old days, she returns dressed up like a belle of 1893 looked. That is Irene Franklin as she is today. To me she is the best example of what vaudeville really is. She is a great artist. Her material is splendidly Individual. No one but this artist can put over her material. It is a part of her. The remainder of the bill at Keith’s (and it Is a real bill) may be summed up as follows: DAVE SEED AND RALPH AUSTIN—Here is a real “low” comedy act. It Is a gem. Holds up the show as usual. Full of laughs. AMETA—Appears in three dances. Her flame dance is the best. She has advanced in her showmanship. She will hold you in your seats until the last minute. JOE ROBERTS—PIays the banjo better than anybody in the world. My praise is not too high. Hear him. THOMAS E. SHEA—WeII known legitimate actor in scenes from “The Cardinal,” “The Bells" • and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” More than worth while. TABOR AND GREEN—In melody and nonsense. Pianist is good BILL. GENEVIEVE AND WALTER —Open bill with “Won’t You Be Careful.” At Keith’s all week. -I- -I- -IA One-Man Show “Echoes of Broadway” is a oneman show. The “one man” is Eddie Nelson, whose low comedy antics in “The Last Waltz" made him a person of some importance. Nelson is generally busy falling all over the stage or getting confidential with the audience. He knows his “stuff” and above all he knows how

to put It over. His mind reading travesty in the vaudeville portion of the bill Is low comedy but It is a gem. The "Echoes” revue part of the show is nicely costumed. There are several numbers which compare well with a Shubert musical comedy. The “jewel” number is a beauty. So is the “China Sea” number by Virginia Anno. The hoop-skirt jazz number of the Murray Sisters is a little gem. Ethel Davis plays a “tough” role In a song number, "I Want a Man.” Nip and Fletcher offer a number of dances, both In the variety section of the show as well as the revue proper. The Five Jansleys are acrobats of real merit. Here is a real team, not to be missed. -I- I- IAt the Palace. I reviewed the first show at the Palace yesterday. It sure was “blue Monday.” Several things went wrong at the opening show which are not wrong now. • ERFORD’S ODDITIES—An aerial offering that is different. PAUL SYDELL—Starts proceedings as a violinist. Has a well-trained dog. "STARS OF RECORD”—A feature act on the bill. A unique idea and well done. “OH, MY GOODNESS”—TIvs is sketch, probably a twin sister to an A1 Wood's bedroom farce. Gets laughs. KATE ELINORE AND SAM WILLIAMS —This a standard offering, remembered from other seasons. ANGER AND NETTA PACKER— Can’t see a redeeming feature to this act. “HEROES AND HUSBANDS”— This is a lengthy movie feature employing Katherine MacDonald. GORMAN BROTHERS—God comedy singing act.

is reminiscent of other shows, but they have taken ideas from the better productions, so should be credited with good judgment in that respect. -I- ’l' 'l' The Rialto Is housing an entirely new show this week after several months’ run of one stock company. The new show, called “The Flapper’s Fashion Frolic,” is made up mostly of bits, musical numbers, dances and specialties. While the comedy Is of the usual variety, It is put over in a snappy manner and helps to speed up the show'. The chorus goes in for the flapper stuff, from bobbed hair on down. The scenery and costumes look new. The program includes a feature photoplay called “When Men Betray.” -I- -I- -I On the Screen The following movies are on view today: “The Bond Boy” at the Circle, “The Five Dollar Baby” at the Ohio, “Love Is an Awful Thing” at the Apollo, “Honor First” at Mister Smith’s, “The Wonderful Chance” at the Isis, “Pink Gods” at the Colonial and “The Three Buckaroos” at the Regent.
