ACTORS MAKE HIT IN THE BENEFIT SHOW Indianapolis Theater Patrons Pack Loew’s Palace for a Most Worthy Cause —Cortini, Manipulator, Is Important Event at Keith’s. A lot of dancing and singing with a speech or two, not too long, put the annual N. V. A. week performance over at Loew’s Palace Theater last night, where hundreds of patrons of the theater looked on. The performance started with the regular overture and ballet and then the organ solo by Lester Huff. At this time the audience entered into the spirit of the thing and sang all the songs that were ashed on the screen.

The first act was that of Falls Reading and Boyce from the Keith Theater. This was an acrobatic turn. Then followed Frank Conville with his imitation of Charlie Chaplin. About this time Teddy Joyce, who was acting as the master of ceremonies for the whole performance in a goodly fashion, and Emil Seidel got together with a tune. Teddy playing the violin and Emil accompanying him at the piano. Charlie Davis was next with the Indiana stage band. They opened with “Mandelay” and then played “Chloe” with Dick Powell singing the chorus. Charlie’s band offered the audience several “hot” tunes with “Clementine” and “Changes of % Harmony.” Teddy got Davis to make a little curtain talk. The came Marie Whitehead. Marie did her stunt with the harp and kazoo. She also tried to sing something or other but it was impossible to hear her. Mayor Slack was invited to make a talk in the interest of the movement and then Buck and Bubbles came on the bill. Cortini had just done a few feats of magic. Up to that time the performance 1 had been leather stupid but then it j began to liven up. These two boys ! put on their dancing stunt. Emil | Seidel and Dusty Rhoads put over i two or three piano and singing numbers. Then in succession followed Olivett in a dancing number and Cunningham and Bennett, Maurice and Flynn from the Lyric and Boatner and Falters with Buck at the piano. This last a dance act. j Morris and Campbell changed j

their act and put on a comedy stunt with one of them working from the box. A large amount of this seemed to be original. Ethel Davis also changed her act and put on two singing and talking skits, one about the waitress and the other a sneezing scene that was different. Roger and Edna Hurst followed with their regular act and then came Wells and Brady in several song numbers. “The Show Boat” and “Sadie Green” were among the numbers they offered. All the acts were put on without any scenery and in some cases without the regular costumes. This, however, distracted little from the performance that was given. An excellent performance, it might be added. This last night at Loew’s Palance

in the interest of the N. V. A. week. (By C. S. G.). tt tt tt “ANY APARTMENT” GOOD KEITH ACT Any skit or sketch about show folks always seems to have just a little more heart in it than the kind about the ordinary people. Whether it is straight drama or burlesqued stuff it is more natural, as a general rule. “Any Apartment” is about a poor downtrodden actor that has quit the stage and still yearns for it. And then he sees the picture of the woman he used to act with, and goes to the theater. At her insistence he goes on the stage to act a small part with her, and then his wife comes after him. Joe Morris is the actor who has to feed nickels to his son to keep him quiet. Flo Campbell is the actress. Miss Campbell has a very fair voice and sings several numbers. The wife is taken by May Talbott, but she has a small part to play. The son, played by Phil Silvers is very good as the bad boy who tells everything to mama. Here is a good example of mixing song and dialogue together. Ethel Davis has a good line of impressions, among which are the ones of the woman shopping on a very busy day and about the chivalry of the modern male. And her one about the strike for wives is clever. Earle Brown assists her at the piano with the accompaniments and with a word now and then in the act. A good comedy number. Cortini throws hands full of dollars into the audience, but none of them ever hit. They just disappear. This man handles a large amount of coins with a great deal of ease. Walking through the audience he picks hundreds of coins out of the air and puts them in a large bucket. This is emptied ever once in a while. A goed act. He also does several stunts with paper and tissue. The act of Falls, Reading and Boyce is a good eccentric and acrobatic dancing number. I rather think that Miss Falls is better than her two partners. The two men do several acrobatic stunts that are good. The big part of Frank Conville’s act is his impersonation of Charlie Chaplin’s stunt of rope walking in his latest picture, ‘The Circus.” This is, of course, burlesqued to a great extent. Conville also has a burlesque on dances, both the ballroom
