Getting a Line on Some Corking One Act Plays for Club Showing
By WALTER D. HICKMAN Y job today is to aid those who are attempting to get a 1..i line on some good one-act plays for presentation by amateurs and for reading before clubs. My mail has been heavy for the past weeks from the younger people of the city who are interested in their own dramatic and reading clubs. So many requests have been received that I decided to get in touch with Samuel French, piay publisher, 28-30 W. Thirty-Eighth St., New York, and get a line on some one-act plays. French in the past has been most considerate in helping those who are interested in plays. As far as I know this publisher has one of the largest collection of plays In captivity and I might also say it is the best, as far as I know. Am going to list a few of the oneact plays issued by French: “Le Frker’s Youth Restorer,” by May Brown. Eighteen characters, a burlesque entertainment. A chance for bald-headed men. Looks original and snappy. “Sauce for the Goslings,” by Elgine Warren. Seven characters;

Real Article in Spanish Dancing Is Revealed by the Four Cansinos
By WALTER D. HICKMAN. mN YEARS to come when this generation grows up, the members will welcome a chance to recall the memory of the Cansinos, four Spanish dancers. At the present hour, we yield to the influence of Jazz. A nut act an'd a hot lipped instrumentalist are sure to reap popular applause. During this jazz era the Cansinos will not cause an audience to go wild, but that does not mean that they are not gifted dancers. At Keith’s this week, Eliss, Eruardo, Angel and Paoo are present under the name of the >Cansinos. The set used is of golden beauty. It breathes of Spain. The dancing, prancing forms of the dancers loom up before .his background of beautiful color. These dancers know how to costume their act. They are experts in their line, probably the best of the Spanish dancers in this country today. They are the real Spanish stuff, not a burlesque on the real article. As I said before, in years to come one will welcome the fact that a visit has been made to Keith’s this week. As perfect dancing as the vaudeville stage can offer. Miss Leitzel for years has been the feature of the Ringling circus. She is present at Keith’s doi.ig the marvelous things on' the ropes and the rings that she does in ‘.he summer. A really great showman. She receives real applause anc pleases. No doubt she is the greatest of her kind. A Jack-in-the-box dance is one of the neat features of the acr of Emile Nathana and Julia Sully. Boyd Senter plays many instruments in a jabby way. He gets musically “hot” and shows it. I believe that he is a little too sure of himself, a little too self-confident, but I must be by myself, hecause he stopped the show. Jack Russell Is at the piano. The modern girl is contrasted to the old-fashioned girl in song and dance bv Jack and Dorothy. The converse tion is smart and well delivered. Jack Haley and Helyn Eby Rock have an eccentric offering. Haley is responsible for the act going into the applause winning class. Jay C. Flippen appears In blackface. He has a sort of an intimate way about him that causes him to conrysct with the audience. He does an afterpiece with the assistance of some others on the bill. Funny In spots, but it is Boyd Sentr which puts the afterpiece over to howls for more. Personally, I am not wild over this sort of stuff, but why should I talk of myself? A careless exposure of the strings holding the manikins in the Alphonseo company cannot be excused. At Keith’s all week. + + *l* ROAD SHOW EDITION OF NEW YORK HIT LANDS HERE Some road show editions of New York hits seem like theatrical hash. Contain everything but the real article. During the 385 performance run of “Little Jessie James,” at the Longacre Theater in New York, L. Lawrence Weber presented it. Weber, the program states, is not presenting the edition which landed on the Murat stage last night. Nicolai, Welch, De Milt, Inc., are responsible. Weber had a real cast, although several changes were made during the New York run, but the caa . at the Murat is one of the most inefficient organization I have seen in many years. There are only two redeeming features “The James Boys.” a Paul Whiteman band under the direction of Robert Berne and the work of Jack Kane as Tommy
What I Like Best on Stage Everything that the Cansinos do in their colorful dance offering,. At Keith’s. Bolduc’s Saxophone Band because it goes in for melody and odd effects. At the Lyric. (Choice of the Observer). The balancing work of the Reckless Duo with Sylvia Mora. At the Palace. Miss Leitzel because she is the best of her kind. At Keith’s. The syncopation of the James Boys and the work of Jack Kane in "Little Jessie James.” At the Murat.
Tinker. For awhile,. Gregory Kelly played this role under the Weber management. Unknown names are in the cast here. Kane is the' only one who seems to deserve a better job. He has personality. The orchestra is good, but an orchestra can’t make a poor cast good. With the right cast and dancing chorus, “Little Jessie James” would be a hit because it has real melody and a story that is snappy. The 'company at the Murat hasn’t a real singing voice in it. The chorus dances fairly well at times. Small company. Leads are attempted by Alice Wood, Elsie Peck, Roy Purviance and Alice Cavanaugh. Miss Cavanaugh has ability and a clever way, • but she can’t shake off the chains of poor support. The company on view here might make a hit in the small towns, but I fear that the radio would be stiff opposition. No reason for getting at all excited over "Little Jessie James” as presented tonight and Wednesday at the Murat. -I-M----SOME OF 1 THIS AND LOTS OF THAT AT LYRIC Much melody melody and odd effects are given by Bolduc’s Saxophone Band in this week's bill at the Lyric. The talking saxophones, although not anew idea, is a humor-

ous thing that is passed up by most of the orchestras we hear in vaudeville. With three soprano saxophones and piano accompaniment a little dash of the classics was given which was very pleasing. Is a good prchestra. Wheeler and Potter have a song and dance act that is well handled. Starts with a man falling in love with a little scrub girl in a large hotel and deciding to give her a taste of life in the “swell” cases and cabarets. He then finds that she is the daughter of the owner of the hotel from which he has Just been ejected. A. C. Astor is a ventriloquist with the customary bellboy dummy, with some not so very customary tricks. He makes "Buttons” ‘sing, talk and smoke. The best part of it was when the little bellhop cried and sang at the same time. “Marriage Vs. Divorce” is a little sketch on the pitfalls of marriage and the ease with which divorce creeps into the home, all done in a rather burlesque manner. The actors in this seem to have as much fun out of it as the.audience, which is a reasonable supposition as the whole sketch is full of mirth. Perez and Lafieur open the bill with a song by the woman and then some falls from a high ladder by the man. The Pacific Comedy Four sing harmony which is muck better than their attempts at comedy. “Raffles” closes the show with a mysterious and uncanny escape from a burial vault. At the Lyric all week. (By the Observer.) -I- -I- A • AND THERE ARE REASONS FOR THE SUCCESS OF THESE Have had the thought many times, "What makes a successful vaudeville act?” Is it material, delivery, scenery, talent, showmanship or all of ’em? I am beginning to think that talent is the foundation. That talent will obtain materials and whip it into shape by the means of showmanship and personality. Take Stanton and Flynn at the Palace today. They have what is For Colds, Grip or Influenza and as a Preventive, take Laxative BROMO QUININE Tablets. A Saf9 and Proven Remedy. The box bears the signature of E. W. Grove. 30c. —Advertisement.
known as eccentric talent, not brilliant, but so controlled that they will make the majority of tuxiater goers laugt at their antics. They do the unexpected thing as trying to make a little black cat play the harmonica. The cat really doesn’t it, but the attempt is a howl. Not highbrow stuff, but good, every-day, eccentric material. Then take jo. look at Sylvia Mora and the Reckless Duo. Miss Mora attempts to sing an opening number. She can't sing. She tries to dance. Attempts it. She leaves the stage and two men then go in for some balancing stunts which makes people sit on the edge of their seat. Then Miss Mora returns, balances a ladder with two men on it on her feet. Act closes to real applause.. Look at the Marino Revue. Flashy scenery, atmospheric stuff. The better sort of music is attempted. The male singer is much better than the woman, but the audience responds to the better music. The act was awarded with honest applause. More showmanship would make this act more effective. The Original Trio is composed of three men singers who, combine eccentric comedy with melody. They know how to get acquainted with an audience. The result is a happy one. Even Blake’s mules get considerable applause. They are well trained. The trainer knows how to put over his act. Here are five different ways that five different acts makes good with an audience. The movie feature is Irene Rich ih “A Lost Lady.” At the Palace today, Tuesday and Wednesday. -I- -I* BETTER WORK REV EALED AT CAPITOL THIS WEEK Pansy Williams and her “Blues” singing are quite the best thingc of “Heppin Round” this week’s attraction at the Capitol. Close to her in honor is Leon Devoe in the Scottish number in the first act. It is in this number that the result of some rather strenuous training on the part of the cjiorus is brought out. They do a formation dance that last for quite a few minutes without a single slip or pause. For a chorus that has to learn a whole new show every two or three weeks I should think this a feat to be complimented on. There is also some good comedy present and as a whole the show is entertaining. At the Capitol all week. (By the Observer). The movies today offer; “Frivolous Sal,” at the Circle; “The Golden Bed,” at the Ohio; “A Man Must Live,” at the Apollo; “Wages of Virtue,” at Mister Smith’s and “Arizona Romeo” at the Isis.
