Yes, Sir! Mr. J. Francis Dooley Learned to Play Bad Golf in the Gulf of Mexico

By Walter 1). Hickman M r ~" OST certainly, Mr. J. Francis Dooley learned to play golf ■ ..J in the ‘‘golf” of Mexico. And his partner, Miss Corinne Sales, doesn’t know anything about golf, so Sir J. Francis admits, be-

cause Miss Sales “had never had a caddy in her hand.” Good gracious, of course she could know nothing about golf. Dooley alleges that he is in the real estate business and hints that he has lots which are “a hundred feet by 200 feet deep.” Miss Sales inquires to discover whether he has money and J. Francis waddles out this answer,

"Dots.” And from then on this brand of fun dished up in such a satisfactory manner by Dooley and Sales runs along at a merry clip. It isn’t what an actor sells that makes him entirely great, it is the way he puts it over the home plate. These two have material and they know how to dress it up and make it strut its own stuff. Same old story—they are a solid hit. Another old-timer, “Blackface” Eddie Ross, is present? along with Dooley and Sales, on the first bill of the season at Keith’s. Ross has not changed his routine very much. It isn’t necessary. It is a seasonable commodity. Sells any time in the year. Signor Friscoe and his Guatemalan Ensemble, marimba players, have an offering of unusual beauty as to melody. Friscoe himself is an artist upon his favorite instruments. He knows how to use lights. Fie has an interesting experiment with an Edison phonograph which playk one of his composition. The recording is so splendid that you can not tell when it is the artist himself playing or the machine reflecting the recorded sound. To my way of thinking Friscoe is making a damaging mistake by in-, jecting hokum into his act for laughs by using noisy “plants” in the audience. Why remove the class and distinctive charm of this artistic offering? Can’t see the reason. Chevalier Brothers are finished artists along athletic lines. Sid Tracer and Bessie Hay present a dance off 'ring of much charm and beauty, but the Apache ending Is out of date. Johnny Sully and Murieil Thomas are handicapped with pointless material'. Bob and Lucy Gillette close the show in “Cleverness and Clumsiness.” The movlp feature Is an “Oui Gang” comedy as you like to see these little tots. At Keith's all week. •I-!- •!• FIRECRACKERS CRAGK AM) EVERYBODY IS HArPY

Firecrackers are supposed to crack and that is just what happens when Myers of Meyers and Hanford does his “slap shoe dance.” Here is a wow of a dance and one that ties up the show, especially, ■when the little sparklers leave the shoe and start cracking. Myers and Hanford both as Arkansas comedians and players of the saw as a musical instrument, belong in vaudeville’s hall of fame. And not being shy, I put ’em in the hall. But you /may see them this week topping the bill at the Lyric. These men are splendid showman. They know how to build |Vip their act and the material used is individual. Here is a sure fire vaudeville team for any hour of the day. They belong among vaudeville’s best and are so recognized in the revue world. Dan Downing, an eccentric comedian. with the assistance of Grayce build up an act along Individual lines. The man works the act up nearly to its climax and then the woman comes on and makes extensive preparations to do that dai.ce “which makes wrecks out of buildings.” The dance in question is the Charleston. This dance isn’t art. it is a convulsion with lot of shaking. The Scovel Dancers are classical dancers, who believe that the body must be free from too much clothing while stepping. Not offensive as done by these women. Wanda and Seals—the title explains the act. About an average of its class. Walsh and Kramer do not use material of individual merit. Arnold and Dean present “No Means Yes.” The Kentucky Ramblers i ■ a “red hot” edition of the jazz fever. The whole idcr Is built along the sheik plan. At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -ILOOKING OVER A SATISFACTORY BILL There is probably no greater favorite with a vaudeville audience than a good monologlst.

ones are few. There aren't many who are really original and funny. One of these few is at the Palace the first hglf of the week. His name is Billy McDermott. He is made up in the regulation burlesque tramp style. He is the best “bum” comedian I have ever seen. (Apologies for the attempted pun.) There is about a laugh a second while McDermott, is on the stage. His jokes are clean if his appearance isn’t His burlesque “Carmen" is a scream. A really high-class low comedy act. Easily the hit of an unusually strong bill. Minlstrel Monarchs are a group of old timers who starred in the burnt cork showc if Haverly and Primrose and others of their day. John E. Gorman is the principal comedian and his trick laugh is still good for applause. Joseph 11. Smith is a champion bone rattler. Charles Udell is a hoofer who does high kicks and splits with more grace and ease than a lot of dancing girls. James B. Bradley sings "Silver Threads Among the Gold” just as he sang it years ago, when it was “hot off the press.” Real entertainers and easy applause winners are these old fel lows.

Clark and Crosby, a “wop’ comic and a clever comedienne, win their share of the comedy honors. Betty Moore and Company open the show with an aerial act of class and merit. Miss Moore and her male partner perform a routine of new and thrilling tricks on the flying rings, while a capable clown disponsed the comedy. A pretty setting and spotless white costumes make the act more attractive. Billy Fynan, assisted by four girls, offer “Tinkle Toes,” a dance revue of the regulation type.
