HARRY FOX STARTS ENGAGEMENT HERE Will Become New Master of Ceremonies at Loew’s Palace Saturday—Will Rogers Is Mighty Clever in ‘A Texas Steer’ at Ohio. EY WALTER D. HICKMAN HARRY FOX will become Master of Ceremonies at Lbew’s Palace on Saturday. The engagement is indefinite, according to Wallace Allen, manager of the theater.
Fox will take the place of Emil Seidel, who has been master of ceremonies for several months in addition to conducting the pit orchestra through elaborate overtures The coming of Harry Fox as master of ceremonies practically does not change the established status of Seidel. He has had his hands more than full with his many duties. The change will give Seidel much more tim9 at the piano and this man as you know can handle said instrument as few can do it. He will remain in charge of the pit oichestra as well as the orchestra on the stage during the stage shows. Mr. Allen has given me the following interesting data cn Harry Fox: Harry Fox, musical comedy star and motion picture player, will appear at Lcew's Palace as master of ceremonies, commencing Saturday. July 7. Fox is the latest addition to the long list of musical comedy and legitimate stars who have been engaged for this season by the Loew circuit. Fox is not unknown to vaudeville as he has been for many years a featured favorite and headliner. Vaudeville audiences are net unaccustomed to see him walk on the stage with his hat over on one ear in a boyish carefree manner, which is undoubtedly due to the fact that he has three generations of theatrical stock back of him. He is a great grandson of the famous George L. Fox. the original “Humpty-Dumpty,” who won international fame, as a clown many years ago. So successful was George Fox that he became the owner of one of New York’s first \ f ariety theaters, located on the corner of Duane St. and Broadway. Harry’s grandfather and father adhered to the legitimate, his father, Arthur Cartingford having played opposite Kate Claxton in “The Two Orphans” at the old Union Square. Harry was to have been brought up in the business world. His father even went so far as to get him a job as clerk in a store: But it was easier to stay up nights than get up in the mornings. So young Fox decided to follow in the footsteps of his great-grandfather and at the age of fourteen ran away from his home town of Pomona, Cal., with a little circuit. He clowned a bit and then went with a medicine- show, where he helped mix swamproot in the morning and spellbind the crowd later in the day. So succesful was he at the latter undertaking that for two years he was featured at the Belvi-

dere, a music hall in San Francisco The earthquake destroyed that job and Fox came east, where aftei four years in burlesque he scored a Broadway hit in “Follies of the Day.” Since then he has starred at the Winter Garden witji Nora Bayes and has as well played principal comedian in “The Honeymoon Express” and “Stop. Look and Listen” with Gaby Deslys. He played a year in pictures m the Beatrice Fairfax serials, and also introduced “I’m Always Chasing Rainbcuys,” in “Oh Look.” In vaudeville Tox has appeared with the Millership sisters, the Dolly sisters and Beatrice Curtis, a H tt MIGHTY GOOD MOVIE AT OHIO Well, folks, here’s one about Congress and Congressmen and' Washington. Will Rogers was in Indianapolis some time ago and tol/i about some of the things he has in his picture “A Texas Steer.” Will, in his picture, is a Congressman from Texas. He was elected while he was cut on the range, and “didn't, even have a chancy to defend himself. “Maverick” Branders and his wife' and daughter Bossy all go to Washington and" after they are at their hotel sometime they have a reception. Maverick gets some of the foreign diplomats in a poker gam* and wins everything, even to one of the diplomat's whiskers. A girl by the name of Dixie tries to blackmail Branders with a photograph and when that don't, work he is kidnaped and held. Branders is for the passing of the Eagle Rock Dam bill, and the others, the lobbyists, don't want it. Branders has his pants taken away from him so he can't get away. But finds a rope and has most of the gang tied up when his friends from Texas get to him. The bill is passed when he

gets back to Congress, but he was nearly too late. A lot of comedy along burlesque lines is introduced by the clothes Mrs. Branders and Bossy wear. Also the way Mrs. Branders’ social secretary is dressed for the reception Rogers wears his boots all the time, and a long tailed coat. He even has a mechanical horse. He is as amusing on the screen as he v. on- the stage, and his humor is a.-: clever. Louise Fazenda is cast as Mi Branders. She is the typical back-bone of the family. Good comedy character part and well carried. Ann Rork plays the part of Bossy She has nothing much to do, but what little she does is good. Playing opposite her is Douglas Fairbanks Jr., as Farleieh Bright. Farleigl: met Bossy in Texas and helped hei and her mother get a social start. He is not seen much, but his work is trood. Dixie, the girl in the blackmail gang, is Lilyan Tashman. She has a vamp part and is eood' here. Rogers wrote the titles to the picture and they are as clever as Rogers own self. The views of Washington that the picture embodies are very fine. , “A Texax steer” is real humor in tfie old Will Rogers style.
