Fejer and Mack Winners at Keith’s; Real Singers at Palace—Romeo at Lyric
By WALTER D. HICKMAN O you want to hear real orchestral music on the variety stage? Then go to B. F. Keith's this week. Joe Fejer and his Hungarian Orchestra Is the headline attraction at Keith’s this* week. This is not a jazz playing organization. The program announces such compositions as "Hungarian Rhapsodic No 2,” "Blue Danube Waltz" and a violin solo. “Chanson Bohemian.” as played by Fejer. Now do not get worried and feel that this is too much for vaudeville. Fejer has brought a splendid group of players to Keith’s. The music played by them needs no apology. The thing that I like about this orchestra is that it gets one Interested in the mechanics of music. I am sure that you will be highly interested in the work of Bela Nyary at the cymbalom. Fejer is a violinist of abilty. He is wise enough of a showman not to overdo the so-called “highbrow" music. He finishes his program with a medley fox trot. Let us have music, | real music on the vaudeville stage.! Keith’s Theater is giving us that sort of music this week. It is up to us to take advantage of the opportunity, j Wilbur Mack, with the assistance of Allen Lieber, Meka Stanford and Gertrude Purdy, offer a smart little original something which is given no name on the program. As it is all in the way of a surprise, I will not give away the secret. Here is smart comedy work, splendidly done by experts. The Four Adlonas offer a splendid casting act. A really fine act. The Dreon Sisters give their impression of Lillian and Dorothy Gish. Raymond Bond, with the aid of Duncan Harris and Miss Eleanor Magnuson. appears in a sketch called "The Minute Man.” During the conversation it develops that a man may look like a simp and yet not be one. Sybil Vane, prima donna, is again present. She sings as well as usual. She gave a little curtain talk yester day afternoon. Leon bomque is at the piano and this is one reason why the act scores so well. George Watts is a rotund comedian of song and Belle Hawley is a slender pianist. This team is good for many laughs and applause. Alyn Mann, with the assistance of several dancers, offers "A Whirl of Dance” as the closing act. At Keith’s all week. -I- -I* -I* New Palace Bill Introduces Two Interesting Singers There are two people on the current bill at the Palace who know how to sing popular music without jazz. They ire Wright and Deitrich. This act was placed in second posi- : lion, but the audience yesterday afternoon greeted it instantly. The ability o fthese two singers was recognized at once. One of their songs. "The Little White House With the Little ; Red Roof.” was written by Miss Deitrich. and met with favor. There is some welcome harmony in this act, with good voices and songs

Film is unclean FQm is that viscous coat you feeL It resists the tooth brush, and much of it clings and stays. Soon it becomes discolored, then forms dingy coats. That’s why countless teeth are clouded more or leu. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Under old methods, very few people, young or older, escaped these film-caused troubles. These facts led dental science to seek for film combatants. Eventually two were found. One disintegrates the film, one removes it without harmful scouring.
Protect the Enamel Pepsodent disintegrates the film, then removes it with an agent far softer than enamel. Never use a film combatant which contains harsh grit.

'lt has rather an unusual open--1 ing number, a song which introduces four of the dancers. The singer had a good voice, and he sang somepopular songs. Casey and Warren have some clever lines in their act, some of which are based on the Englishman's alleged lack of a sense of humor. Casey, as an Englishman, gives u laughable interpretation of the average conception of the type. One of the funniest things in the act was Casey trying to understand why a chicken crosses the road. Frazier and Bunce look so much alike that they have named their act “Doubles Troubles.” They have some songs and some jokes based on their remarkable resmblanc. Lillian and Henry Ziegler have a better than usual opening act, and get a good hand on some of their stunts. • "The Man Between” is the feature photoplay.

FOR A TEN-DAY TUBE
Able authorities proved these methods effective. Then a newtype tooth paste was created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent. Leading dentists the world over began to advise this method. Now careful people of some 50 nations are employing it every day. 4 It brings many new effects Pepsodent doss other things which research proved euential. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva—there to neutralise mouth acids. It multiplies the starch digestant in saliva—there to digest starch deposits. Soapy tooth pastes reduce these great protective agents. Pepsodent gives them manifold power. Thus tbt use of Pepsodent brings astonishing results. They are quick and convincing.

principals. Others in the cast include Arthur Corey, El Brendel, Flo Bert, Martha Troop, Dorothy Kendall, Alice Ridnor, Maris Chaney and others. Flo Bert tries very hard to put class and ability into this revue, but she has a most difficult job. Brendel in one scene wears u trick suit which falls to pieces. In one scene several dancers appear with some kind of paint, varnish or something all over them. If this is art, then the man who paints a barn down on the farm must be a great artist. This show has a really beautiful scene, the Dutch number, at the close of the first act. This Is the real revue article made so by costuming and scenery. The same applies to the last number In the last act, a beautiful flash finish. You know that I speak my own opinions and this time Is n£_ exception to the rule. This show on the whole is not what we expect at the Murat Theater, the home of such beautiful re\ ues as “The Fussing Show of 1923,” “The Dancing Girl,” "Greenwich Village Follies” and’ others.’Edward L. Bloom Is presenting this "Spice” show. Yes, there are a large number of people in the cast, but quantity does not make a show. Have your own idea about this one. I have stated mine. At the Murat all week. v -I- -I- -IHere Is a Story of How Two Men Tied I'p Lyric Show It seems to me that success in the vaudeville field rests to a great extent upon the personality of the performer. Take this week’s bill at the Lyric and consider the case of Clark and O’Neil. It Isn’t so much what they do, but how. For instance, everybody knows “Turkey In the Straw.” These two men are able to make a comedy hit out of this old idea. They sing and they dance, but It is the way they Introduce their work which counts. They make quite a fuss over what song number they shall sing. The audience gets all worked up and the result is that good showmanship and personality ties up the Thanksgiving week bill at the Lyric. A man billed as Romeo has the services of eight dancing girls. The man has a sort of a Prince of Wales way about him and the girls really can dance. The outstanding feature of the act is a toy soldier dance. Pleasing work. Act is weij dressed. Dorothea Neilson is a violinist and Otis Francis is a pianist and cellist. These two go in for the better sort of music. Jones and Johnson, negroes. strut their stuff both in dance tnd in song as well as conversation. Ed Redmond and company offer a

comedy sketch called “Napoleon.” I believe the hardest job in the show business is to write an interesting vaudeville sketch. I have seen enough failures on the stage to convince me that it is some job to turn out the right sort of a sketch. “Napoleon” has been written with an eye on the laughs. It concerns an inmate of an insane asylum who finds refuge in a cottage occupied by two quarreling lovers. At times it approaches melodrama, then farce and then suddenly becomes comedy. It moves rapidly and holds the interest. Guess that is the real test of a successful variety ketch. The Clinton Sisters open the show with a dancing act. A1 Golem and his Persian marvels close the bill. At the Lyric all week. •I- -I- *!• “Youthful Follies” Is Quite A Mixture of Tills and That The Capitol this week is offering “Youthful Follies,” another Columbia Wheel burlesque show. The show starts out like polite musical comedy, then becomes regular burlesque and winds up as musical comedy. The first scene is placed in the Dun bar Seminary, and that Is a strange place for a burlesque show to start. Julia Gifford in this act has a chance to offer several song numbers which are presented as song pictures. It Is seldom that a burlesque show goes In for this sort of thing. Another step out of the ordinary is “Fun in the Movies.” Harry Morris and Ed Cole, comedians, stand before the screen and get lot of fun in telling Charlie Chaplin how to go through his paces. This is new stuff for burlesque and Is good fun. Johnny Nit and Mary Tuck, colored dancers, do some good hoofing. Cole and Morris offer their conception of "Gallagher and Shean." It is during this number that Cole teases the audience into believing that he is going to sing a dirty song, but he doesn’t. This stunt reminds me of Billy B. Van's red card joke. It's all In fun. In the last act Cole goes in for some regular burlesque stuff by dressing up like a near vampire who falls In love with a sheik. I didn’t get a laugh out of this stunt, but I was way in the minority. Part of the show is good ar.d part is not even fair. Al the Capitol this week. •I- -I- + Stock Burlesque Continues At the Broadway Theater Those in charge of the destinies of the stock company, now playing burlesque at the Broadway, are making the mistake of using some of the bits again that were used earlier In the season. This should not be necessary, ns there are some good lines In ihis week's show, and it has not been an improvement to add the old ones. Some of the old favorites are In the
