many pounds if only they will obey tho spoken word. This is Just my way of telling you of the perfect first scene of "The Potters,” a comedy-farce, written by J. P. McEvoy, and now on view j at. the Murat. And what a life-size picture has been drawn of the * American home Reality Is written into all of the many scenes. Here is a home that has life, hon- | est to goodness life in it. Ma and * Pa Potter are real American folks. And their two offsprings, Mamie and Rill are real American youngsters, not a flapper and a sheik, but the real article. Am going to refrain from telling the story, because I found much of I my joy last night in the fact that l wont to the Murat knowing onlv that “The Potters” was considered a human success in New York. ■ There is every reason for spending : your good American money at the Murat this week. I failed to count how many times T laughed out loud ; in a most undignifipd manner, but I do know this— l have never launghed more In a theater than I did last night. The human side of the story' grabs you and before you know it you are * registering laugh after laugh. If j : you want to buy laughs, hundreds of 1 'em at a bargain counter of fun. 1 then buy a seat for any night this week of “The Potters” at the Murat. Human Cast Donald Meek is Pa Potter. I rather have the feeling that In the years to come I am going to dir rover that In my memory box of the b!g< wholesome and good things! of the stage I am going to find j Meek as Pa Potter tucked away there. Meek doesn't act. He Just lives F t Potter. And I can pay no ! higher compliment to the artistry of this man. Eleanor Gordon as Ma Potter is not a funny paper edition of a j mother She lives right by the side of pa. Real people. Not acting, bn' flesh and blood characteriza- j tior.s. And then there is Raymond Guinn as Bill Potter and Mary Car ; roll as Mamie Potter If these two do not “act” or rather live the real ; American brother and sister, I do | not know where you will find 'em ! And then Douglas Hunter as Red Miller, the beau of Mamie Potter. 1 During tho summer Red Is a life guard and in the winter Red is ar. "ex-life guard.” Such a position in the winter does not appeal to Pa ; Potter as good occupation for a . prospective son-in-law Pn knows i that he will have another pair of i feet tinder his breakfast table. There is other good work In the 'big cast. Should lr, all fairness mention Blanche Moulton as the medium. Mary Stills as Glad;- s Rankin and Dean Raymond as Mr. ; Eagle. There are twenty seven ; speaking parts in this com--dv. not i including nine street car passengers. The first act has six scenes, the second three and th thin! three. There are many real surprises in j the wav of sets.
f “The Potters” is one of the safest I buys in the theater that I have run | across in several seasons. At the Murat all week. | 'l' -I* -I' ROOKING AT HOLIDAY BILL AT B. F. KEITH’S About all the holiday I found in ! the current bill at B. F. Keith’s was | that it is being presented during j Thanksgiving week, j There is not really one name that I stands out above the others. The i bill runs to comedy and attempts at j comedy. To my way of thinking, ■ the first three acts on the bill are ; easily the best. Bononla opens the show with his own melody-producing instruments. Tie opens with “Spanish Sonata" and follows it with “Parade of the ! Marionettes,” a cleverly syncopated 1 march. His final number Is a fox ; trot. i The second act is Keo Taki and • Void. Japanese entertainers, who do i not produce the gold colored barrel | until the very last minute. The [novelty of this act is furnished by one of the men playing the piano and at times a tikelelc. On this insrrument he fingers a mean melody. Ti e other man sings and becomes at the cluse of the act, a foot juggler. They are assisted by a girl. The third act that comes tinder the winning flag is Willie West, McGinty and company In a panto farce, ‘The House Builders.” This is the same act in the last Ziegfeld Follies seen here, if I am not wrong. Here is a great, fun act. The grownups ; will laugh os xvell as the children, j Reef n ,.t p n bill. Maurice Diamond and company ! -ould have a winning revue under i the title of “Originalities of 1 2 t." but Diamond fails to give class to ! the act. This could easily be accomplished if he would watch his method j f presentation. Diamond does a ! good Impersonation of I,eon Errol, lie should watch the costumes be cause the dancers use the floor a ! great deal while dancing and some of the costumes give proof of too j frequent contact with the floor. I >;a- ---! moiid has a good whirlwind dance at the close of the act. The Stroud ] Twins are youthful, but promising [dancers along acrobatic lines. Aunt Jemima fails to live up to the great honor of being a headline act on the R I-' Keith circuit. Her personal appearance is no longer a n**vlty # Her songs are lifeless. Far from being a hit. Tho two male piantsts are the best things present. James Mullen and Anna Francis attempt eccentric comedy In “Take a Chance " I found most of the material used by olivette Haynes and Fred E. Reck In “The Guardian” to be painful h-'ktim Have y> :r own Idea and I have mine. The Three length-id® dose the bill in an ei|uilibristjc offering. Mighty good At Keith's all week. .;. .|. -|. MEET LILLIAN GOWK, GXLOMIES \M> EVERYTHING Lillian Gonne greets you from a; garbage can. Tb i' is, I.ilium makes her appear , r.i 0 as IP tie ■ o. • waif whose only homo ori the night before | Christmas is a garbage can. Lillian, on inhaling the "smell", if a Christmas eve feed in a home • '.•<i !os that the flesh is stronger 1 th m the spirit and she decides to invade the household. On arriving within tb* family ■ ciri >. Lillian discovers t Christmas tree, but she J H discovered. This gives Mis- Gonne a chance to do her in.personations, including art impression of that “great buck and wmg dancer” I’avlowa. Lillian ; wears a ballet skirt and galoshes. Here Is a splendid bit of fun. She Is given a dmra e to make several costume changes, but finally returns to her garbage can. For a curtain call she iloes an Impression of Eva Tangtrty singing ”1 Don't Care” Miss Goniii work in tiie finale of tho act of Roy La I’e.arl, who starts out with a travesty on a trapeeze ait but turns out to be a comedy ■act with melody. He has the as- j sistar.ee of two men In a box He has a corking finish with Miss 1 Gonne dressed in nifty and even startling attire. The easy winner of ■the bill Is .Mis 1 Gonne. This woman has ability and personality. “Reau Brurnmell and T-ady Fair” ■ is another revue which seeks to introduce a Jazz orchestra in a newway. They are fairly successful be cause the act is different. The

[ dancing hit is made by two colored i dancers. Thomas and Williams are splendid i tap dancers. Mighty good. Willie ! Rolls does things on roller skates I that few men attempt. This act J wins with ease, but ability is the [ cause of the applause he receives. ! Winnie and Dolly open the show I 1 with a ring and rope act. Both exhibit some food footwork and drops. Ed> Jolly and Winifred Wild offer a comedy affair called “Hold My Hat.” ! They work along eccentric lines. Be- | cause of rush of openings Monday | night, I was unable to remain for j their entire act. I also missed John* |son and Beaham. Here is mighty good holiday fun. I At the Lyric, all week. •I- -I- -INOT ONLY ( I,OWNS WEAR WHITE FACES Ever since the circus made the | clown an institution, the clown has | always worn a white face. If the formula spells success, why j shouldn’t it be used on the comedy ! stage? Florence Baird, with Charles j E. Bensee, answers the question. For ,her eccentric makeup, she wears a white face, just as the circus clowns use. The white face makeup rather gives one a plainer idea of what this woman is attempting along extreme eccentric comedy lines. She reminds me a good deal of Eddy Foy In the old days when he did lot of "mugging.” Miss Baird is a mighty good clown. It I takes ability anil a whale of a lot of talent to clown one’s wav t<> success. That is just what Miss liaird is doing at the Palace today with the j aid of Bensee.

members of the team, but the idea gets over well. When these men want to sing they have the needed voices to put over any song. Walter Manthy and girls appear in a song and dance revue.

MAYOR HAS HIS DOUBTS Annexation of Territory Along Kessler Bird. Questioned. While explaining he had not investigated tho ordinance passed by the city council annexing a strip of territory 500 feet wide on each side of the new Kessler Blvd. between Crawfordsville Rd. and Illinois St., Mayor Shank today said he doubted the wisdom of the measure. “There’s no use going way out in the cornfields soaking people who gave their land to the city for the boulevard,” said the mayor. “If they had provided for annexation of land between the city and boulevard it would have been different.” NO MORE SMOKE ARRESTS Templeton Says “Program of Education” to Continue. No immediate arrests for violation of the city’s smoke ordinance will be made. IT. F. Templeton, assistant chief smoke inspector, said today. He lias issued a number of final orders to change smoke equip ment, but said the department would continue to enforce regulations by the “program of education.” “Conditions are 75 per cent better than this time last year," said Templeton. "Some of the biggest firms have adopted approved smoko consuming equipment, and others are coming to it as rapidiv as possible.”
