A Study in Contrasts—Yohe, Osterman; ‘Susie’ Is Some Nifty Ballet Queen

I By WALTER IX HICKMAN A STUDY in contrasts May Yohe, a musical comedy queen of other days, and Jack Osterman, a star of the future. One is a ■■comeback." the other !■' a guarantee of the future ami toJay a realization of fond hopes and careful training. I use the term "comeback'’ in relation to Miss Yohe in the kindest sense. She belongs to days which have gone forever. The days when our parents and maybe our grandparents sang “That Old Girl of Mine” and “In Dear Old Georgia." I am generallly afraid of "comebacks” because it is many times a charity affair. N->1 so with May Yohe. because (ami the because is the important thing) she is a marvelous showman. She has the services of a splendid .iazz playin’ orchestra, called “Shell-O-Tone,” and the assistance of a corking good eccentric colored dancer who dances on his feet and his head. Her splendid showmanship and her really wonderful personality (just a reminder of the glory which was at her command years ago) last night at Keith's resulted in a genuine ova tiou. The entire act stopped the show. The audience yelled for more. I have a suggestion to make—when an auui cnee thunders applause, 1 mean real applause, the word should be given for an encore. One cannot help but feel the winfc cr splendor of this interesting womxm I admire marvelous showmanship. That she possesses. And Now I Speak of Jack Osterman Here is a chap who is breezy, has speed and above all real showmanship. Osterman follows the Yohe act. That didn’t dismay this chap. Oh. no; he sailed on. impersona ed the curtain talk of Yohe and declared he was ready to act “after the storm.” And he stopped the show. This lad rambles from one genuine laugh to another. He admits he is fond of blondes, no mater what they were before they arrived at the blonde stage. “I don't know what is wrong with me.” Osterman admits. "I meet a girl on Tuesday and right away she has a birthday on Wednesday." He is improving season after sea son. He has that wonderful attribute —breezy and wise youth. A corking good combination when properly handled. Dangerous, yes. in some people, but not in Osterman. He is guaranteed against failure today or in the future. He has personality and, above all, he has material, backed by r real showmanship. Osterman admits lie is going into the movies. He longs to play the stable boy from "The Four Horsemen.” You are bound to like this chap. James Dutton and company offer an equestrian act. which radiates class. T found nothing to enjoy in the .offering of Samuel Leonhard and comJhany in something called “After the Polo Game.” George Moore and girls are at their hesi in a burlesque on "The Bad Man.” Bert Rome and Henry Dunn have a real harmony tonic. 1 liked them. You like so much that 1 do, I am sure I am not wrong. Howard Nichols is

one hoop manipulator who does not bore me to death. At Keith’s all week. Susie Is Sure Some Wonderful Creature When you meet Susie you are going to meet some “person.” Susie is a ballet dancer. At times Susie wants to shimmy and at other times she is willing to dance rather oriental. Wow! How Susie loves to kiss and hug Carl Norris. Don’t get excited because Susie is only an unusual monkey. Susie is one of the bright spots at the Palace this week. The children will love Susie. I think I am past that age but l raved over Susie. Susie is being presented by Carl Norris in “Springtime Follies.” Norris has used some real brains behind his act. He uses his dogs as chorus girls. Splendidly done. The leaping dogs art 1 marvels. Here is an act which is a credit to vaudeville. Bobby Rernard and Adele Kellar engage In conversation concerning a traveling man and his sample of gar meats. Rather dull in spots Bernard helps Lew Cooper. blackface comedian, start his act. Cooper knows just what to give a vaudeville audience. He has a pleasing way about him.

Perle Frank sines a better class of songs than most attempt In vaudeville. Her voice in the high register is splendid. She is her own accompanist Tic Eddy Sisters en gage in much dancing. Nice opening act. Shannon and Gordon engage in sonic rough house conversation. They may be a riot to some but to me their Impersonation numlrer is very crude. The movie feature of the bill is Viola Dana and Cullen Landis in “Love In the Dark." At the Palace all week “East Is West" Is An Ambitious Attempt One has to admire the motive which prompted the Grand Players to present "East Is W* st. ’ which made a fortune some seasons ago for Fay J lainter. This play is one of those things which is a cross between a good play and a mighty bad one. The prologue is one of beauty. The llrs tact is a more nothing, but the second and third acts are combination of sugar coated love longing and exciting melodrama. The value of the play rests upon the ability of th> actors to tnlx the .atmosphere of the Orictn and San Francisco. It Is a case of dialect. 1

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

j admire the Grand Players for attempting this difficult thing in dialect conversation. It is enough to test the ability of the best-known players. The Grand Players have mounted the prologue, which is the Love Boat scene, in exquisite fashion. The dialect of the players is excellent, in the prologue, but it is in the first act. that Is not as well done as I expected of the Grand Players. Miss Jean Oliver has trouble with her Ming Toy characterization, especially the dialect. In the second and third acts she is splendid. Somebody' drags the first act. It should be speeded up as comedy situations are placed opposite the more serious ones. There are two complete characterizations. really splendid—the Lo Sang Keo of Norman Wendell (splendid) and Harry Sullivan as Charlie Yang (a breezy and well defined characterization). The dialect of these two men are wonderfully well defined and well in keeping with the nature of the i characterizations. Eddy Waller hasn’t much chance to act except to reflect sugar coated love sickness for Ming Toy. Others in the cast include A1 O. Wilson, AJeo Harford, Jack Martin, Earle Ross, James i l.e loy, Ida Belle Arnold. Maralyn Fink. Jack Martin and Alice Mason.. Let us consider a second the reactions of the audience at the time I reviewed the show. The audience seemed nearly unanimous in applauding the prologue, the second and third acts. This play is an ambitious undertaking. This play proves that the Grand Players arc determined to do really interesting things at English’s. ‘ East Is West" is the bill ni Eng I lish’s all week. I I- I- : Any Ki nd of ail Idea Given in Musical Comedy “Almost Married,” the musical comedy attraction at the Rialto this week, concerns a young woman who is to receive $1,000,000 providing she Is married and divorced. She enlists the aid of a doctor, whn agrees to find a husband with one foot In the grave. It’s a silly idea but It affords an op portunlty for several different comedy

bits. The offering Is brightened up this week with some new and sprightly costumes that greatly improves it, Some new chorus work Is also a feature. The program includes "East Is West," a photoplay starling Constance Talmadge. (By the Observer ) • • • Lively Show at the Broadway Today "Step Along." the current attraction at the Broadway, has more costumes and scenery than usual and also affords a snappier chorus than is generally seen in this house. The scenic features of rh<- show are the “Iguitern of Love” number by Eleanor Wilson and a "bride" numbei called "Some Pretty Day” by the en tire company. Julius Howard and Max Coleman
