AMUSEMENTS Tivoli = VisiorHashirt Tribute. The Tivoll Theater last nllh: ln- mugurated s week's musical pi dedicated to Viotor H.OMH. Amen- composer, who died a few days in New York. Tastefully aad artstically presented and done in elaborate style, the Herbert presenta- tions include many of the composers most popular and tuneful composi- tions. The Herbert memorial pro- gram adds luster to a well diver- sified bill, made memorable by the appearance of Elias Breeskin, violin virtuoso, and former solo artist with the Minneapolis symphony. Participating in the Herbert en- somble are Betty Anderson, lyric Soprano; Thomas McGranahan, tenor, and Charles Gal. panied by the Tivoli Orchestra, con- ducted by Bailey F.

There is not a moment that the interest of the audience seemed to 1ag, or that origi- nality and ingenuity do not combine to give novel touches to a tale of amusing and thrilling incidents. The Dhotography is excellent and the sup. porting cast presents Doris May as the wingsome heroine. _ Moreover, thers is a camel in the picture that is_worth ‘Tod eing. ‘Weems, '".'l another of those delightful orchestras made up of college boys, came to the Rialto yes- terday for a week’'s engagement and scored a real hit. The Rialto has been noted for its having various Jjazz orchestra attractions from time to time, but none has proved more popular than Mr. Weems' organiza- tion. Last night's capacity audience persisted in oplauding for many minutes after the orchestra perform- ance was concluded. The orchestra is composed of eleven instrumentalists who play such popu melodlvn as “Limehouse Blues. rcheta,” a “Waltz Medley,” lnclud(ng favorites in_three-four time from “Kiss Me Anln" down to “What'll I Do?" and s, a novelty being “Pete’s Red Nose.” ‘The news reel completes the bill.

Then it is that Jennie sets forth, guided by a penni- less Russian count, upon an amusing, varied and lucrative matrimoniai career. She starts with a stolid Ger- man Jew, acquired by the Keno route, follows him up with the presi- dent ' of his company, who is wealthier and of higher social class, and, after this third husband's natu- , is about to marry British when her first husband, now a business comes back Mulhall, delightful foil for Connie, and Zasu Pitts, the supremely successful home- 1y girl of the screen, offers an ex- cellent characterization. There are many exquisite, humor- >us bits in this satire on present marriage conditiéns, one of the best being a burlesque on attendance at the grand opera and the picturization of Jennie's unique method of telling the story of “Faust” The settings ire true to the-development of the tale, becoming increasingly beautiful and aiding greatly in getting the at- mosphere of the story TOSS, Palace—"The Moral .

The novel combina- | tion of such opposite traits has Its | exp tion at a charity ball in Paris when among those present are an Austrian crook and his daughter, who are there to steal the funds. The girl is a moral sinner for the reason that her life long share in crime is due to filia} love and to ignor- ance of life above the underworld, to which she belongs.

The ball is at its merriest when a lighted cigarette tossed into a tangle. of confetti blazes into a confligration, and the girl, working the safe combi- nation, is trapped in by flame. Rescue comes through a stranger who risks his life to save hers, and disappears without giving his name. Reallsing that she has met & man difterent tmm her kind, the girl determines to go away and work out her salvation, Kleschna loves his hter. and agrees to the parting, if she wiil help him steal the diamonds that belong to the flance of the kister of the dis: solute ma: The girl is reluctantly persuaded—and the outcome provides a sucoession of thrills which the star and James Rennie make the dramatic most of, assisted by an excellent cast which includes Paul McAllister, onc leading man in summer stock here. Scenically considered, the story is limited to a Paris of handsome man- sions, with nothing more sinister in the way of environment than_ the pleasant rooms where Kleschna lives with his daughter and a supposed valet. who {s really an accomplice, and whose tender care of a caged bird and of the o 'rl gives pathetic illustration of a good life spoiled in the making. The one contrast is a homo in rural France, where Leah In her search for honest ‘work becomes a laborer in the same fleld in which her mother toiled when she ran away with the Austrian.
