LIKE JAZZ? THEN HEAR IBACH He’s Got a Great Band —Trixie Friganza Is Good

fiv WALTER D. HICKU&S. When a flute became "Mister Gallagher,” and a saxophone turned lnto “Mister Sheàn" durine thè performance of Ben Meroff and Lloyd Ibach's Entertainers at thè Palace yesterday afternoon I was ready to check my hat and spend thè rest of thè afternoon there. There has been so much sald about thls organlzation that I sailed lnto thè theater yesterday with a regular Missouri "you-will-have-to-show-me” look, and when I left I admitted tot myself that I had been shown. These entertainers have declded to gl ve thè people something new in a syncopated line. The saxophone player Is a wonder. And then there is a man who just oozes melody all over thè stage while he dances. At times you think he Is skating and, before you know it, he is doing some weird twisting atep. That man knows how to “hoof” He alone is enough to tie up thè average show. These Meroff and Ibach Entertainers do not go lnto crashing musie. but they make a sympfcany, as near as that is po-sible, out of thè jazz time and Orienta! music of thè day. Here is a reai organlzation. Don’t miss thè "Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean” number done on a tiute and saxophone. Quite a treat. "The Sheik” is a remarkable posing horse. Knight and Knave offer a strong man act along regulation lines. Glfford and Morton are rather “sad” at times. They need new and better material. There is that dash of rapid personality to Burke. Walsh and Nana which makes them a reai asset to thè bill. The men are good soft shoe dancers. They know how to use their personality. Agai Poor Mother Screen mothers certainly do love to Buffer now days. Vera Gordon (remember her in "Humoresque”) and Vera Gordon in "Tour Best Friends,” thè movie offering at thè Palace this week. suffers beautifully. She is a dlfferent type of a mother from Mary Carr. This movie is abie to bring thè tears to many eyes. Aa I heard a woman remark, “It is beautifully sad.” Am so glad that mother didn’t lose all of her money, as I feared she would go to thè poor house. A rather weepy picture, but interesting. Photography splendid, entlre cast adequate and *he work of Miss Gordon exceptiona!. At thè Palace all week. I -!- -!- Page a Druggist Trixie Friganza has a new use for a hot water bag. She has added a fringe of beads and a monogram to a regulation drug store hot water bag and has transformed thè darned thing into a nifty handbag. Quite a scream. In other words this is stating that Trixie and her "Little Bag o’ Trix"

MELODY

. ' X Y t - - -0.. IRVING FISHER Always had a hunch that a male singer would land some day on thè vaudeville stage who baci a reai voice an.. who would use it in songs of merit. It has happened. Irving Fisher is thè man. Here is melodious reflnement. At Keith’s. is now on view at B. F. Keith's. She changes gowns many times; tells “snappy stories” about herself, expiains what made her hair white; sings some morb; changes a gown; sings and then marches off thè stage to victory. She is an institution. She can do things which other women of thè stage wouldn’t attempt. She will make you laugh. That is her mission. Here is a tip. Stay for that last act—Al Etriker. This man just twirta himself all out of shape and out of joint, Harry Holmes and Fiorrie La Vere are reai winners with "Themselves.” Action takes place in a theater box built on thè stage. This team has abiiity and ideas. Sure Are. Irving Fisher is on thè bill. I paid my respeets to him under his picture today. Looking for a funny sketch? (They seldom are funny). li ovard Smith and Mildred Barker have it in "Good Medicine.” Rather over-acted at times, but full cf reai laughs. Who ever wrote it had ideas. Madelon and Paula Miller arrive while singlng a “Jack-in-the-Pulplt” song. Bob Anuerson lntroduces a clever horse or polo pony. The pony is a

shark at figures. Van and Tyson, thè two bellhops, open thè show. At Keith's all week. -I- -I- -IXo Need of Powder The dusky "maiden’’ who appears near thè dose of Bowman brothers' act at thè Lyric this weeek has no need of face powder. "She” is cotti black as to face. Made so by burnt c-oik and other tricks of thè make-up art known to blackface entertainers. Mme Blackface Comes pretty near starting a new fad in dress, as "she” wears an odd creation—a cross between thè skirt and thè pantaloon. When “her” feet are close together it looks like a skirt, but when separated thè impression is that of Turkish trousers. The brothers close their act wlth a satire on a politicai address. It is mighty clever and sounds like thè ieal article. Bowman brothers are thè easy winners at thè Lyric this week. MUe. Rhea Is a dancer of classica! and other steps. She has thè asslstance of a pianist and a singer. Act nicely staged. Rather refleets class. Lynn and Una Wesley crack a laugh getter (so thè audience decided) in "The Village Vamp ” Lynn utters: "I am vèry confectionary.” Una retorts: "Be careful that you don’t get cafeterla and help yourself." Miss Wesley goees in for thè eccentrlc stuff. Clinton and Cappell have their mo menta. Clintcn is a pianist and Miss Coppel, looking very Italian, sings a number of songs. Billy Bouncer’s circus with its liounding net is back again. It reminds one of clrcus days. The bill includes Lockhart and Laddie; I believe that is thè opening act, if I am not mistaken in thè name. Rose Garden should get over to better appreciation than she did when thè show was reviewed. She impersor.ates a scrub lady with thè toothache. She gives her idea of people vho perform at a society afternoon musical function. She plays thè piano well. At thè Lyric. f- I- I“Success” Reniains The Shubert-Park management this week retained thè Services of "Success,” a Shubert unit show w hicn was on view last week. Xonette is not with thè show this week, but Abe Reynolds, Flossie Everett. Ben Holmes, thè Royal Pekin Troupe, Bernard and Scarth and thè others are jiresent.

SKATING Every Aftcnoon and Night RIVERSIDE

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

This show was considered at length last week. The engagement closes Saturday night. •I- -I- -IAt thè Broadway "The Jazz Babies” at thè Broadway this week is another show typlcal of thè old time burlesque. There is nothing new in burlesque except perliaps thè actors and thè musical numbers, but it is thè old stuff thè patrona want. if last night’s audience is any criterion. Scottie Friedel is thè feature player this week and he really is à clever ti ’mp comedian. J. Haggerty. thè second comic, is a new man with thè show, but he worked so smoothly that one could never teli it. Andrew White and Arthur C. Powers prooved adequate as straight man and juvenile. Both men slng well. Again a blonde is thè hit of thè show. The blonde this time is Caroline Rosa and she has everything, mostly yyle and figure. Dora Davis, Irene Perry and a chorus above thè average. complete thè cast. The costumes of thè principals are attractive. (Reviewed by Observer). -I- -I- -IAt thè Rialto “All Aboard for Dixie” is thè title of thè new musical comedy at thè Rialto this week. It seems to be thè policy of thè management to add -new faces to thè company each week and this time they have done a little better than usuai. The show is as usua), composed chiefly of bits, speclaltles and song numbers. One of thè features of thè show is a song by Miss Gelse called "Hot Lips.” The program includes “Dangerous Paths,” a photoplay featuring Neva Gerber and Ben Wilson. -I- -I- IOn thè Screen Today The following movies are on view: “The Old Homestead” at thè Ohio; "The Storm" at tne Circle; "Do - and Dare” at Mister Smith's; "Aster Six Days” at English's; “Silver Wings” at thè Apollo; "The Cowboy and thè Lady” at thè Colonial; "The Isle of Zerda” at thè Isis, and a triple bill at thè Regent.
