C, MONDAY, DE EMBER 25, 1922, Ir AMUSEMENTS POLI'S—*“Irene.” “Ireue, the unusually musical comedy which seems to have become an institution in theatrical offerings, is an ideal production for popular tie whole family to see during Christmas week. It Is the alwayy successful Cinderella theme dressed up with typically present-day Amerd- can_contrasts of beautiful Long Is- land estates and_also tenements on 9th avenue, New York, as fts settings. | The audience at Poli's Theater lust night thoroughly enjoyed it. A per- | son seeing this hardy musical peren- nial for the first time would never roalize its age except for the famil- farity of its catchy tunes. The sect- tings are fresh and the costumes are Iy Irish coloring, again interprets the title role of thk production, and, i although 1t cold mg - 0 y and roufh-—particu- chorus of “The Alice Blue voice, 1 as her quite satisfactory. s Mrs. Marshall and fenry Coote J.

Moore and ¥ Mackay also very good in the roles of the Leroine's best friends, and Howard Freeman, as the hero, a young man of brains! and wealth, is more than satisfactory. | The songs are 8o catchy that they ra fully worth hearing again. The dancing 18 snappy and the entire per- ance is fine. bilit admirablo them. James Barton, about the most Judl- crous “inebriate” of the stage, Is at the Shubert-Belasco this week stag- gering and mumbling and intruding upon sober parties in his best manner, lie even does much of his muscle dancing, too. But the former star of “The Rose of Samb despite his cleverne: does not corner all the honors of program.

He certalnly can claim an equal ranking with Bar- ton on the program Then there is ot Adair, talented Winter Warden comedienne. She has personality and a_voice and employs both effectively. Her songs are well selected, too. There i hing bore- some about and “No- body’s Fool.” her principal numbers. She s & top-notcher on the bill. And one must not forget Georgie Price. Georgie does impersonations of famous musical comedy & and does them well, but he is too good for that. With his ability, Georgie ought to go on his own lin t.as it is, he is E an excellent funmaker ranks with the others mentioned. and Acrobatic numbers, in addition to that of Nathal's, are Haasi and Ossei, apanese entertainers, who open the performance with a worth-while act, nd Jack and Kitty De Maco, especial- }¥ good on the flving rings. Ford and { Goodridge. a dancing and singing team, are pleasing. Joe Towle, whose comedy at the piano is familiar to Washingtonlans, unfortunately is not at his best. Per- haps he has not fully recovered from his automobile accident of last week. De Javen and Nice complete the list. ! STRAND—Faulkner's Marionettes. It Is a long time since vaudeville patrons of Washington have had an opportunity to witness a cleverer act than that presented by Lillie Faulk- ner and her marionetics, one of tha chief features on the bill at the Strand Theater this week. Billed as diminutivo oddity. “Play Ball.” the little manikins do their tricks, dances and other parts of the program as well as any human actor, and Miss| Faulkner is deserving of mucn credit for the manner in which she manipu- ites tho strings. Fashioned after mous screen and cartoon character: with a real ball game scena as th nale, the marionett: pre: t their like way, much ! any children in to the delight of the the audience Goorge Ale: 1ard Bofled Hampton, ler and Stephen Chamlin, kept the heuse in roars of laughter. P’ermane and Shelly offer a novel comedy and act that also proved very popular. Loe Zarrell and company open the vaudeville bill with novel feats of quilibrism, followed by Irving and Ellwood, in “A Bouquet of Song.” Timothy’s Quest,” based on the tory of Mra. Kate Douglas Wiggin, is the motion picture feature of the program. It is a human _interes tory, with a plot that will attract and hold the attention of those who care for the better grade of film fea- tures. Master Joseph Depew and Baby Helen Rowland are two of the juventle principals.
