Advance data says it will please the Hodge following. Marie Goff Is leading woman. Hodge wrote this play foi himself. He Is his own theatrical tailoi these days. Davis In the Cleveland Press has this to say:: "Sentimental plays seem to appeal to some persons greatly. Many such, we Imagine, will like the play William Hodge wrote for himself and calls ‘For All of Us.’ “Hodge is becoming a sort of national Institution, with these plays he writes and acts. Off hand, we can’t think of another who presents the same viewpoint quite so well. This play argues, among other things, that good deeds shine in a nice world, and that if one will have patience everything will turn out right “Hodge in this opus plays a fellow Who used to drink and smoke. When he would have several drinks and maybe a cigar or two he would fight Well, drinking and smoking and fighting led to prison. This penitentiary, as he described it, seems to have jnet the effect the blandest believer In the power of punishment to reform could wish. He came out a changed man. But not all of this reform could be credited to the State. There was a prison visitor who gave him a Bible.” -I- -!- -!- “SO THIS IS LONDON”—A last-

HUM AN'TOUCH ADDED TO LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE
Uv WALTER D. lIICKUAX The need of the show business for years has been the human touch. This human understanding must be applied to the patron as well as the performer. That I realized several days ago when I was in Cleveland, Ohio, to attend the formal opening of the new 15,000,000 B. F. Keith Palace Theater. It Is the most human vaudeville theater I have ever seen. Mr. Albee and Mr. Murdock have been able to express this human note In terms of millions. The foyer or grand hall of the Palace Is a wonderful art gallery. The cost of the rug alone would build and equip a sixroom cottage for the average newlywedded couple. The first floor patrons and the
minute booking at English's. Opens next Thursday night. It is George M. Cohan's latest stage creation It is already a New York "hit." Lawrence Grant will play the role of Sir Percy. It Is a comedy. -I- -I- -!- GEORGE—Name of a magician who will be the offering next week at the Shubert-Park. Eighteen persons will be in the company. The program is divided into two parts, opening with an illusion called “The Cloth of Bag dad.” The second part is confined to the "Hong Kong Mysteries,” in which a series of new oriental magic tricks are introduced. Also In the company is the Mystic Spencer, described as the man "who sees, knows, tells all." "RED HOT RUFUS' —Next week’s musical comedy offering at the Rialto.
SEASON’S BEST SHOWS HEADED THIS WA Y NEXT WEEK
eecond floor patrons have their individual service, smoking rooms, rest rooms, promenades and the like. All get the benefits of the urt hall. No matter how much your seat costa at the Palace In Cleveland, the art treasures and the beauty of the great human note In vaudeville Is yours. The auditorium proper Is a paradise of beauty. No comfort of the guest, no matter the price of the seat, has been overlooked. -I- -I- -IBack on the stage Is where the actors discover that Albee and Keith consider them human beings. The actors have their smoking, writing and rest rooms. Every dressing room (they are not just holes In the wall, but real parlors) has a shower and a tub bath, paintings on the wall.
The story concerns the efforts of Rufus Jones, an attendant in a "nut factory,” to cure the inmates of their wild ideas. Several vaudeville acts will be offered, including Lanky Taylor, black face entertainer: Dalton and Thaw, a sister team, and Harold Alexander and Louise Hartley. 'There also is a chorus. The movie feature will be "When Destiny Wills.” "PELL MELT,” —A burlesque show to be at the Broadway next week. Book and lyrics by E. J. Reilly and music by Andy Haror. Players include Billy Kelly, Charles Country, H. E. Ray, Harry C. Van, Harry Seyon, E. It. Jenkins, Pauline Harer, Mabel White and others. A comedy jazz band is on the bill. Number of other features. Including the Curbstone Quartet, the Lavender Girl and Hortense.

comfortable furniture, plenty of lights and ventilation. There is a billiard and poolroom in addition to what is known as an indoor golf course. And, can you imagine, an electric breakfast and lunch service which supplies toast and hot coffee on a few minutes’ notice. Back stage of the new Palace Is a regular home for the actors. It is not a sweatshop but a human, beau;iful and real working world. •!• -!- -|- I brought back with me a prepared description of the paintings In the grand hall in the new Keith’s Palace in Cleveland. It is as follows:
