Eltinge Show Strange Mixture of Good and Bad

By WALTER D. HICKMAN | STRANGE mixture of good I and bad entertainment la found U.. J in “Black and White Revhe,” which is featuring Julian .Eltinge, “Black Face” Eddie RqSs, Tom Brown and the Six Brown Brothers. As presented at English’s Wednesday night this revue opens mighty poorly.

Brown and his saxophone players prove easily that they are the best saxophone playei-3 on the stage today. Eltinge is making a desperate effort not to show his age, but the lines on his neck make me realize that he is getting old. He wears some marvelous costumes and scores with a kid flapper number. He is still a great wears gowns better than a US' other man, but age will tell. ' Eddie Ross, in the sedond part of the show, is an easy winner. He k*owi how to play a funny story and he handles a wicked banjo. The revile has a good finish with a largo saxophone band conducted by I Tom Brown. Eltinge appears in a splendid costume at the finale hut the effect is lost by some poor showmanship. This revue was presented yesterday at English’s for two performances.
