New Things on Stage

Ey WALTER D. HICKMAN Variety is placed in the program Offered by Ermy Holmgren and his orchestra by featuring solo numbers. Nearly every member has something to do at the Palace this week end. The violin solo number of the leader has charm. A girl dances and does a character song number. There is much life and pep to the members of the orchestra. Josie Heather with the aid of a pianist gives a song recital along her regular lines. Her pianist is splendid. Act has class. Gordon and Rica attempt to disguise a bicycle act. Their material runs to comedy. Fair. Charles Tobias has personality and works with much energy. Has pleasing material. Dwyer and Orma offer a travesty on the vampire with the woman carrying most of the act. The movie is ‘‘Flapper Wives.” At Palace today and Saturday. -I- I- •!• LITTLE THEATER PRESENTS COMEDY After seeing the character of the performance given hy the Little Theatre Society tat the Masonic Temple last night of “Mary' The Third.” it is time to use the plainest and the most direct words.
