Meet New John Drew of Modern Stage; Columbia Wheel Sets Safe Standard
By WALTER D. HICKMAN |_ EET the new John Drew' of IVI the stagei His name is Tom Powers. I have the feeling that Powers has the finished and brilliant mannerisms that Drew had when he was a younger man. Just between us. I am not using any extravagant expressions which the object of my remarks cannot live up to. There are many actors, but there are few artists in characterization. It is no easy job to be an Interesting young man of 30 in real life and then be required on an hour’s notice to become around 50 or 60. Tom rowel's aged delightfully in “Mr. Pirn Passes By,” but he ages so wisely and beautifully in “The Dover Road.” Polite comedy is a difficult thing to act. Everything that A. A. Milne has written has been delicately painted An actor does not have to use a sledge hammer to put over his comedy situations. It requires ability of the most advanced type to project Milne’s delicious quiet comedy Tom Powers has that touch. How magnificent he really is as Mr. Latimer, a kindly but wise gentleman who uses his home to convince eloping couples, especially when one of the parties concerned is already married, of the error of their w T ays. Tom Powers has become a great artist by being able to create characters in a complete form. It is not Tom Powers whom you will see at the Mt rat this week in “The Dover Road.” but it is the brain child of the author. If there ever was great work on the stage. It is to be found in that presented by Powers. He is able to radiate class and complete comedy refinement as well as wiseness. The author demands It and Powers supplies it. This is my idea about the whole matter: Never has there been smarter comedy work during a Stuart Walker season than that being contributed by Powers in the Milne comedy. The entire case is more than ade quite; it is excellent. Others in the case Include William Evarts, Donald Campbell. Norvin Gable, Barbara Bridge, Lillian Ortner, L’Estrange Miliman, Ruth Hammond, Beulah Bondy and Corbet Morris. From a comedy standpoint “The Dover Road” is one of those exquisite dream children of whom we dream, but seldom see. It is smart and expertly written. All that you probably know, because it has been considered such ever since its Broadway presentation. But iny idea is that it can stand more praise. By presenting “The Dover Road.’ Stuart Walker will leave a lingering melody. He chose the play and is responsible for the cast. To him belongs the credit of giving us a chance to see this comedy gem. Let me do more than recommend a visit to the Murat this week. Permit me urge a trip to “The Dover Road.” 1 know you will thank me for asking you to see a marvelous com edv splendidly acted by experts.

I do not mean that burlesque should be decked with a harp and a hymn book, but I do mean that it must not. have the objectionable features which have been a curse to a certain form of burlesque. The Columbia Burlesque Circuit has done more than any one agency in cleaning up this form of entertainment. Remember, I go to the thea ters where the people go.

The opening ehow la "Dancing Around." with Harry Steppe as the chief comedian; Buck and Bubble*, two youthful colored entertainers; Lillian Smalley, & singer of pleasing ability; Rose Duffln, a pleasing little singing and dancing body, and others. “Dancing Around” Is mighty good entertainment, regardless of whether you call It burlesque of musical r-

vue. Fro ma viewpoint of costume the show Is dressed with excellent taste. The gowns of Miss Smalley are beautiful and the attire of Miss Duffin is always smart. The chorus as it works together will improve, but as it now stands it would do credit to some higher priced shows. If Steppe had paid a little more attention to the lights and the scenic equipment, the result would have teen a little more pleasing. He has assembled a good working cast of individual ability, but if drapes had been used instead of so fnuch stiff scenery, well, I would have liked it better but I am not producing the show you know. The high lights of “Dancing Around” may be summed up as follows: First, the comedy work of Steppe, Fred Slater and George Rose. Second, the costuming and work of the chorus In relation to Rose Duffin. Third, the appearance and work of Lillian Smalley. Fourth, the knockout work of Buck and Bubbles. These two young colored lads stop the show with their natural dancing and fun. Both big winners and Steppe wisely have given them plenty of time. Fifth, the work of Robert Colonna. musical director. "Dancing Around” is all-around entenrtainment and represents the better efforts on the burlesque stage.

T 1 <se two people stage a buriescyie on mind reading and thought exchange at the Lyric this week. “The little lady speaks only 725 languages.” Howe announces.
“Speak Italian for the gentleman,” Howe directs his assistant. “Does he understand Italian?” she asks. “No, speak it,” answers Howe. “Banana,” declared the marvelous woman. And so the fun goes on between Howe and Miss Fey. They offer a clever little hit of nonsense, cleverly presented. Two musical acts seemed to please when I was present at the Lyric. Jess Libonati is a xylophonist. He gives his impression of an organist playing “Dear Old Pal.” Good work. The Seattle. Harmony Kings turn out to be a jazz band organization. The men play the new trots and the like with all the jazz time gravy. Stopped the show when I saw ’em. Julia Edwards, who has an athletic offering or rather a ring act, seems to possess a keen comedy sense which aids in making her act different. Clemens Billings and company introduce a combination circus and variety affair which has a foreign flavor. The dogs and a pony have been trained along comedy lines. The children will like this one. Roy Francis appears in blackface. He sings a bit, talk a little more and then dances. Fremont Benton and company offer a playlet, “Rights,” In which a wife teaches her husband a lesson. At the Lyric all week. -!- -1- -ISeveral Beautiful Song Pictures at the Palace Maybe you will like my choice of the acts on the new bill at the Palace. Well, we’ll see. The honors go to Brockman and Howard In “Toy Town Topics.” Whoever is responsible for this act knows many things about the show business We need more "song pictures” on the variety stage. The Follies first made a name because of its song pictures. Two of the song pictures presented
Do You Save Enough? BANKERS say that saving money is largely a matter of habit —of systematically putting away something every pay day—of consistently thinking in terms of thrift. The bankers are right. But remember that thrift embraces buying as well as saving. It is “penny wise and pound foolish” to save by scrimping and yet spend money needlessly in making your every-day purchases. Has it ever occurred to you that every day you can save something simply by reading the advertisements in this paper? Do you realize that the advertisements tell you just where and when to buy to advantage—that they tell you how to avoid regrettable expenditures? Thrifty folks realize that advertising has reduced the selling costs of thousands of factories and stores. Many of the things that today count as necessities or simple luxuries could not be sold at anything like their present prices had not advertising created a broad market for them. It has made millions of sales at small profit where otherwise there would be thousands of sales at large profit per sale. So you owe a great deal to advertising. And you owe it to yourself to read advertising. Advertising Helps You Save Money Read It Systematically
by Brockman and Howard are exquisite gems, especially the toy soldier and rag doll number. The Dutch number is well done. The cat number is offered as a novelty. There is a lot of real beauty and merit to this act. Ido not hesitate in recommending Brockman and Howard. John King and Dave Irwin are offering that blackface classic, “coontown Divorcons,” in which the horror of a lawyer's office is exposed. King appears as the female client. The dialogue Is smart and clever. One of the strong spots on the bill. The Three Belmonts offer hoop juggling and kindred pastimes. It is about time that singers wake up to the fact that “banana" songs are turning out to be sour grapes to some vaudeville patrons. Dolly Wilson makes the mistake cf singing the banana blues song. Why do all sing ers have to be alike? I know Individual material is expensive. The trouble is on the variety stage that certain entertainers cannot refrain from riding a successfiil song to death. Jack Wyatt’s Scotch Lads and Lassies close the show. Wyatt is offering his same old routine. The movie feature is a comedy drama, “Just Like a Woman.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. •I- -I- -!• The movies on view today include: "Human Wreckage” at the Apollo, Kara and “Legally Dead” at the Ohio, “Three Wise Fools” at Mister Smith's. “Dulcy” and birthday bill at the Circle,” “The Birth of a Nation” at the Rialto, and “The Desert Rider” at the Isis. Car Stripped of Accessories. William Martin. 4345 Guilford Ave., told police his car parked at Ogden and Michigan Sts. was stripped of auto tools, battery and two spot lights, valued at $35.
