FINANCIER PAYS GLOWING TRIBUTE TO HEALTH BUILDER

Mr. George D. Jones, Indianapolis Financier, Says That Todd’s Tonic, With Its StrengthBuilding Qualities of Rare Old Wine, Keeps Him in Good Health and Regulates Digestion. “My position with the National City Finance Company makes it necessary for me to keep in good physical condition. I used to suffer from stomach trouble, indigestion, nervousness, loss of sleep and a general rundown condition. Then I decided to try Todd’s Tonic. So far I have taken four bottles. I am glad now to recommend Todd's Tonic because I found it to be ideal for the- relief of nervousness. It also has kept me in a healthy condition necessary for a man of my position. I rest good at night and awake clear eyed and ready for any problem that the day may bring forth. It keeps my stomach in condition to digest any food I may eat. It makes me feel as youthful as a man of thirty, yet lam fiftyfour. In closing I wish to say that I owe my present good health to Todd’s Tonic.” —GEO. D. JONES. Spink Arms Hotel. Indianapolis, Ind.

Leviathan Band, Morris Are Keith Hits; Billy Hall Again Dresses Up Like Hilda

By WALTER D. HICKMAN | - T | OVELTY is the keynote of the 1I success of the two outstanding I 1 ' I acts at Keith's this week. Am speaking of the S. S. Leviathan Orchestra and a team known as Joe Morris and Flo Campbell. This orchestra mixes tunes of the day with scenery which makes you want to cheer. It is good theater and corking good melody. A banjo player and a cornet teaser are the two men who stand out in this organization. The orchestra does not throw away all of its dignity when it plays the hot melodies of the day. The numbers include “No, No, Nora,” “I Love You,” “Somebody’s Sorry,” “The One I Love,” also a descriptive number and others. Morton Downey, a lyric tenor, sings two numbers. The orchestra was royally received yesterday afternoon. The next real hit on the bill is Joe Morris and Flo Campbell. Morris is a sort of a “nut” comedian, who uses his brain and clever material to good advantage. He even overflows into a box and has a merry time with his knitting. Their final number is well done and gets them away to a good finish. They neatly stopped the show yesterday. Laura and Billy Dreyer close the show with a dance revue. The Royal Gascoignes again offer their well-known-juggling agt mixed with comedy. Teddy, a dog trained in a unique way, ag.i n helps the act. Florence Brady sings some songs which every other singer of this class wishes upon us. Maybe the tunes all sound alike. Bob Hall is back with his extemporaneous stuff. I found some of his material very dull. Ned Norworth has an act of no entertaining merit. Just how he gets on the big/rtime is a mystery to me. His material is pointless and dull. Be your own judge on the value of Norworth and Zoe Howell.

i At Keith's all week. •I- -I- -ICOMEDY VALUES OF VARIOUS CLASSES FOUND AT LYRIC Whoever did the job of assembling the current show at the Lyric did a nice job from a comedy standpoint. The variety public lately has been showing a decided fondnees for all comedy bills. Hoakum has its place on the vaudeville stage just ;is the lighter or more quiet class of fun. We find comedy represented in vai rious forms. For example, we have | the comedy impression of Billy | “Swede” Hall as Hilda, a "maid, | who becomes tipsy. Hall and his j comedy goes in for the laughs. His I “souse" is not artistic, but is done [ in the proper comedy way. Comedy in juggling is expressed by Cronwell and company in the opening act. These people use an interesting method of injecting comedy in an act of this character. Paul and Georgia Hall also have comedy in a musical act. Hall does a series of imitations of birds on the violin. He even imitates a “night hawk’ and a “jail bird.” Miss Hall goes in for male impressions. Prosper and Market, athletes, do not go in for comedy, but get attention by their splendid and finished work. A real act. There is some light and rather pointless comedy in “A Moonlight Marriage." but this act commands attention because of the gowns, especially a radium gown scene. This j scene is of rare beauty. The Three White Kuhns put comeIdy into melody. This is a standard j musical act. Wayburn and Rae in “The Daily Dozen” close the show. At the Lyric all week. -I- 'l’ -I* MARRIED PEOPLE QUARREL KYN ON TOP OF THE ALPS The old family quarrel—nice word for a domestic fight—has been the plot of many a sketch and a play. Today at the Palace we are having the old idea ail dressed up in new clothes by Anderson and Burt in “The I ’izzy Heights ” The scene is placed in the Alps and concerns a newly wed couple who .ire spending their honeymoon by climbing the Alps. They start quarreling and even keep on when a blinding snow storm starts. There are some clever lines in this little sketch. It is well done. Edwin George admits that h" can's juggle. lut is present just to give the i-udience an idea of the job. George really does a monologue while attempting to juggle. Not anew idea, but few can get away with it. Bolger and Norman play the banjo and the violin. The violinist handles bis fiddle as if it Were a cello. The Trennell Trio opens the show with a comedy acrobatic act with two men land a girl taking part. They have a good jumping and balancing stunt at the very close of their act. The saving grace of Watkins Circus Frolic is a trained pony by the name :of Yogi. This animal even makes the | correct change at a cash register. The j rest of the act is slow and at times [ pitiful. S The movie feature is House Peters i in “Don’t Marry for Money.” At the Palace today and Wednes day. •I- 'l' -I----j GOLDIN CUTS WOMAN IN | TWO WITH NO LOSS OF LIFE !

bining action on the stage with action in pictures in such a way that both the pictured actors and the stage actors work together. He steps indiscriminately from the stage to the picture and back again. In connection with the picture he does some rather obvious “mind reading” stunts that could be left out of the act with out hurting it much. Goldin’s, act is just a part of the show, "Step On It,”, starring George Niblo and Helen Spencer. There is some lively music, fast stepping and funny comedy. Miss Spencer is pleasing. (Reviewed by F.
