Auto Troubles of Abe and Mawruss Convulse Large Audience at Murat

By WALTER D. HICKMAN - -IAWRUSS Perlmutter and Abe jy[ Potash have lots of “engine” trouble these days. Meaning that these two comedy characters have left the garment, business and have caried their quarrels over to the automobile industry. These two characters are two of the best comedy creations which have ever walked on any stage. Montague Glass and Jules Eckert Goodman are responsible for this last fun panio under the title of “ Partners Again.” When you hear mention Abe and Mawruss, you at once associate the names of Alexander Carr and Barney Bernard. No other two men could get as much out of these fat comedy parts. Both seem to have been born for the purpose of acting these roles. There are more laughs in this new edition of Potash and Perlmutter business troubles than in the others but it doesn’t contain so much sentiment. “Partners Again” is geared to make one laugh. There seems to be a laugh about every Second In this comedy. Last night a large audience composed of Shrinors and their friends attended the first performance at the Murat. At times there was so much laughter that the actors had to wait until they could be heard again. That is some recommendation for any show, but what happened at the Murat last night has happened in Chicago, New York and other cities. Abe and Mawruss quarrel as much and as well in the automobile business as they did In the suit business. Back of every quarrel is the needed strain of loyalty which binds them closer together/ when the storm passes away. A few of the hot remarks are as follows; "Offer him (Abe) a football. He is a student. “Your relations should never be bom. '■There are twenty ways to go broke and when we go broke we wllf do it legitimately. "A carburetor of an automobile is like a rattlesnake. If you don’t bother it, it won’t bother you. “I (Abe) wish I was dead. God forbid. ”How can she (Rosie) be a witness when she hasn’t been coached yet? There are more real laughs and entertainment in “Partners Again” than in half a dozen of the regular run of such plays. It Is needless to comment on the work of Carr and Bernard. It is perfect comedy acting. In their line of work nobody has ever even shown slfyis of being compared with thhm. Their comedy work is of the finest. The cast is a large one. In addition to the featured players the following stand out; Helen Reimer as Tilly; William E. Morris as Schenckmann; Jennie Moscovitz as Rosie Potash and George Sweet as Dan Davis. There is every reaspn in the world for going to the Murat this week to see "Partners Again.” •I- -l- -IIt Might Have Been a Violin But It Is a Wonderful CeOo Jean Schwlller holds a cello in the same position that a violinist holds a violin. 1 In other words, while Jeane is playing on his cello, he remains standing. This gives one the impression that his instrument is an overgrown violin, but it is a marvelous cello, glorious in tone. You will meet Jean this week at Keith's. His makeup reminds one of David Warfield in "The Music Master.” Schwlller plays real music. There seems to be a soul around some place while this man is pxaying his cello.

This Man Gets Much Money for Quarreling *

JHf >;• |k§|

ALEXANDER CARR

Generally people do not get paid for quarreling but Alexander Carr and Barney Bernard are increasing their bank accounts every week for quarreling several hours every night. They are staging their quarrels at the Murat this week in "Partners Again.” Tut idea, both as to routine and personal appearance. They call their routine “Jesters of 3,000 Years Ago.” They sing verse alte- verse of a song. The idea reminds me of Mister'Gallagher and Mister Shean. These men work with ease and speed. They register well. I waited with a good deal of interest the work of the Five Petleys, the closing act. This offering comes under the head of an aerial act. There is an abundance or original material here. The truth is, this act has made an individual impression upon my think-box. Edith Clasper, a dancer, has been elevated to headline honors over the Keith circuit. She is assslated by Paul O’Neal and Paul Yocan. There Is some “hoofing” offered A shadow dance is one of her unique numbers. Willie Sqlar relies upon ft "wheeze," a really funny one, and some nutty material to make the people howl. His materiel smacks of burlesque, but he makes them howl. “Just Out of Knickers" has the services of four young people. It concerns a bashful youth who dons his first pair of long trousers. He lrritries his hand at entertaining the girls. I probably am in the minority because I found the conversations, situations and even the acting very dull. A young girl who impersonates young men is the real artist with Cecil Mason and Bemie Shaw. The impersonator has big time ability. Both members of the team are good dancers. The Three Bradnas open the bill

At Keith’s ajl week. -I- -I- -IJh’rances Kennedy Tops Strong Bill at Palace Frances Kennedy is entertaining hei admirers at the Palace with her own individual kind of ap act, and all the people are her admirers. She returns with anew collection of jokes and stories that add to her reputation ■iere and add equally to the entertainment on the bill. Frances relies on her personality and her -ability, however, and not on her reputation for entertainment. She has no assistance in her act, not even a drop of her own, but she fills her place at the head of the current show. No minstrel conventionalities are observed in tho Fashion Minstrels, but originality rules. The minstrel idea gives the seven girls in this act a vehicle for their variety of songs and dances. These dances are flashy and beautiful and many of the songs stop the show. The costuming and scenery leave nothing to be desired for the benefit of the act. Shura Rulowa and her partner, with four dancing girls, present some fascinating classical dances. These people know how to popularize classic dancing. A realistio characterization of an old man is seen in the act of Pierce and Ryan. The pugnacious old gentleman was a delight. This actor kept his character impregnable throughout, even in the songs that lw persisted In singing. Something of a novelty was provided in the first act by Harvard, Holt and Hendrick. This was bicycle basket-ball. These entertainers seemed to have as much entertainment out of their game as did the audience. The feature photoplay is "The Scarlet Lilly," featuring Katherine MacDonald. A highly entertaining bill throughout.

The "prima donna” shaves. In other worsts, the prlma donna la a man who shaves and looks like he would enjoy playing baseball. He appears in the act of Harry Downing and Company in "A Bouquet of Originalities.” He makes his first appearnce by singing In a high so prano voloe off stage. When he appears he looks like a tramp. He then puts on a beautiful evening gown. He doesn’t take his impersonation work seriously but does It In the spirit cf travesty and burlesque. This act has the services of several good dancers. One of the men is so good on his feet that he stops the act because of the applause. Platov and Natalie go In for what might be called "quiet dancing.” They aim at nothing spectacular, but show they have been carefully trained. The toe work is splendid. The act is mounted in fine taste. Kranz and White are billed in

“Nonsense.” The title of the act explains it. —• Dave Manley walks out on the stage and calmly announces that one of the world’s greatest men was to address the audience. He then walks off the stage and on his return j announces that since he has been introduced by his mpther’s son, he was ready to exploit his candidacy for the "Mayor of the United States.” Dave than starts an outburst of oratory which is good for many laughs. One of the real features of the bill. Clay Crouch, a blackface comic, is back with his old p.ct, "Oh, You Sheik.” This act has been seen here before. It has no particular merit. Crouch in new material would be able to register with much better effect than in an old vehicle. The women in this act dance well. Purcellp. and Ramsey of musical comedy attainments and the Three Falcons appear on the bill at the Lyric this week. The Lyric is celebrating its aleventh birthday with a lengthy show.

Even the extravagant variety of costumes and scenery do not make up for this defect. _ Friedel and Mack axe supported in their comedy by Gene Schuler and Jack Cameron. The latter also has some song and dance numbers. Mildred Cecil was well chosen to carry tho burden of the singing, for she has a well-trained voice.and a good personality. She Is a vital unit in the show. Cecil McCann is a girl who is short of stature but long on appearance and song.

—. ... .—— Weekly Book Review Nicholson Digs Down Into Heart of Modern Life in ‘Hope of Happiness’

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Irv i and powder has been reI moved from the cheek of the I 1 girl of today. Meredith Nicholson has not reflected merely the “war paint” side of the modern girl in "The Hope of Happiness,” but he digs deeper than one layer of paint. He goes to the very heart and soul of the girl. Milllcent Harden is one of the modern girl characters in Nicholson’s new book. You will not remember Milllcent as a girl with gaudy cheeks or with a cigarette breath, but you will remember her as a real girl with a soul. I recall one passage which lets you see that the Milllcents of today are ont mere toys to paint and decorate with fine clothes. This conversation on the part of Milllcent will show that she has a "think box” and a souj. “Saving the world!” Milllcent repeated deliberatingly. "I never quite like the idea. It rather suggests—doesn’t it?—that some new machinery or method must be devised for saving it. But the secret came into the world ever so long ago—lt was the Ideal of beauty. A Beautiful Being died that man might know the secret of happiness. It had, to be that way or man would never have understood Vk; remembered. It’s not His fault thsft His ideas have been so confused and obscured in tho centuries that have passed since He came. It’s man’s fault. The very simplicity of His example has always bewildered man; it was too good to be true!” In this strikingly beautiful way, Nicholson permits one to feel the "soul beat” of Milllcent Harden, a modern girl of Ideals and the possessor of enough strength to stand her own ground. I obtained a copy of "The Hope of Happiness,” at the book department of L. S. Ayres & Cos. of this city. It seems natural to obtain a Nicholson book from a local store irfc stead of getting it from the publisher. It’s rather like home town patronizing home town. It is published by Charles Scribner’s Sons. Nicholson Handle* a Big Subject in True American Style Nicholson Is not afraid to paint American life as it exists in the Mid die West today. I may be wrong, but I see Indianapolis or some place mighty near here as the probable location of tho story. I seem to know an Indianapolis Milllcent as well as Leila Mills, one of the speedy flappers who just about takes the count, but at the end settles down, rights herself and becomes a real girt. < Marsh’s Modern Museum on W.

New Century Books The Century Cos. has published eleven new books. The only fletiem is Donn Byrne’s “Changelirfg,” a collection of characteristic short stories. In “We Explore the Great Lakes” Webb Waldron is said to have written a story of travel about our inland seas and our Middle West that is as interpretive as Cari Sandburg—and perhaps a deal easier for the prose-reading majority to enjoy. A Bertrand Russell book, written in collaboration with his wife, Dora Russell, discusses “The Prospects of Industrial Civilization." “Men, Maidens and Mantillas,” by Stella Bprke May, is a kind of informal travel book of LatinAmerica—largely concerned with the women-folk south of the Rio Grande. w ‘The Lost Kingdom of 'Burgundy,” by Robert J. Casey, is also romantic travel stuff. “Mountain Climbing,” by Francis Aronld Collins, treats its thrilling subject in full and down to date, with information about climbing clubs, etc. “The Normal Child” is by Dr. Alan Brown, a child specialist of Toronto, and covers the care of children in health. “Tranquillity House” is another mygfdry 6tory for young people by Augusta Huiell Seaman. “The St. Nicholas Book of Verse,” is a volume of real children’s poetry, from St. Nicholas.

You will say that any average sized Middle West city has its Millicents and its Leilas. Yes, and that is the reason that Nicholson is able to contrast these characters of life in a story which has dramatic dynamite in It. If I knew you better, I might say that Nicholson Introduces Bruce Storrs, one of the chief characters In the story, while the young man was visiting an ole swimmin’ hole and I suspect that Bruce wasn’t wearing even a one-piece bathing suit. The author lets you know it was evident that Bruce “was the fortunate inheritor of clean blood in a perfectly fashioned body; that he had used himself well In his twenty-eight years and that he found satisfaction and pride in hie health and his strength.” It was a good thing that Bruce was physically fit because he had a secret, one which would weaken any one. His mother shortly before his death had told him that the man he

called father was not really his father because —. This social problem has been handled lately in several of the new books, especially “The White Flag.” It remained for Meredith Nicholson to bring the real American viewpoint to play upon this subject of illegitimate birth. Bruce knew the secret and the man—Franklin Mills, a man of wealth, power and social standing. It is the task of the author to show how Bruce by being a human being, not merely a character of fiction, became strong enough to be a "real son” of Franklin Mlljs. Nicholson has not lowered his story with cheap dramatics. He lets you discover the fact that in every man and woman there is a real soul, the difliculty rests In the fact that we so often fail to find the combination which will unlock the door. Loila Is One Speedy Member Who Does Not Wreck the Boat I believe that much Interest will center on Leila Mills, the petted, extravagant daughter of Franklin Mills. She uses fast language which become* more rapid when she has been drinking hooch. And yet Leila with all of t her false, sillv and wild ways is a ‘woman. She ilways is fighting for a chance to be lerself. She finds it in the love of a man. When Leila put on the brakes, the old car stopped. Leila saved herself. That’s the beauty of this book —the characters have real blood in them. "The Hope of Happiness" is a book with a real ple have red blood in them. They stub their toes and rock the boat, but they all know how to swim. This new Nicholson book will live. It has the right to live. Better get a copy of thi3 new Nicholson book mighty soon because every one is going to be talking about It.
