Sing- ers, dancers and actors were greet- ed by a capacity audience. Thpyv were applauded generously and de- servedly, and the signal success of | the initial presentation insures and certainly merits another crowded house this evening. The program’s first number was a vocal solo, “My Baby's Arms” capably rendered by Ted Keaton, as ed by an attractive and well} trained chorus comprised of Win- nifred Carlson, Dorothy Ruther- ford, Rhoda Minzgohr, Ada Minz- gohr, Dagny Hagerup, Eleanor Neil Irvine, Grace E. Naghel, Esther Judson, Joyce Morris and Rosena Messerschmidt. Mr. Keaton suffered an accident in the Alaska Juneau mine yester: day. His head was deeply cut by a falling rock, and treatment of the injury required seven scalp| stitches. He performed his part so| (well that none in the audience was aware that he will still distressed !from the effects of his mishap. Mrs. Gess Sings Then, after an encorey»another vocal solo, “Keep Your Sunny Side Up,” was given with charm and effectiveness by Mrs. Mary Norris | Goss, whose gift of voice was en-| ‘lmmed by an easy and graceful “uwc presence. She graciously re- | sponded to an encore. “Hoodooland Cat Frolics" proved 'a novelty dance creation of fasci- | nating character and superb | [ | cution by the Misses Elizabeth and Esther Kaser. Miss Naghel Dances “An Old Fashioned Waltz,” solo dance, offered Miss Grace Naghel, member of the chorus, an oppor- tunity to display terpischorean abil- ity of profe: nal order. To the be- witching ains of “My Alice Blue Gown,” and attired in a dress of scintillating Alice Blue, she capti- vated every spectator with her ar- | tistic excellence.

Davis, |and A. B. Clark. Their comedy, as intended by them, was better than their singing, and gave everybody a quartet of hearty laughs. “The Follies Revue” by Ted Keaton and the young ladies of the chorus was the occasion for the exchange of wise cracks, some of which were not without local application. He and the comely damself then staged, with the aid of articulated paper skeletons and wierd lighting effects, a song nov- elty, “The Hoodoo Man.” It elici- ted enthusiastic applause. Comedy Drama The program was concluded with a three-act comedy drama, “The Hoodoo,” 'a mystery play that was laid in a private railway car. It abounds in humor, stirring episodes land a surprising finish. Miss Muriel Jarman, as Ruth Carson, a young heiress, lent beauty and ability to the heroine’s role. Martin Jorgenson, as Sheridan Scott, the deflective detective, gave a delightful interpretation to his part. M. H. Sides, as Titus Brown, the negro porter; Har- ry Sperling as Alden Murray, a |law Porter as train conductors; Curtis. | Shattuck, as John Blake the suitor of the heroine; Luke Carson, the railroad million- rire president, had important roles land enacted them with marked ability.

Their par- ticipation, of course, imparted strength and production. The second and last performance of the praiseworthy entertainment will be given tonight. “HALF MARRIAGE—” IS AT PALACE TONIGHT Heralded as one of the finest all+ talking productions to reach local screens this season, “Half Marriage is also Olive Borden’s first talk vehicle for Radio Pictures.
