AMUSEMENTS Poll 's—Julia .Sanderson, in *Moonlight.” L. Lawrence Weber's musical pro- Quction, “Moonlight,” .on its transe continental tour, with Julla Sander- son as its star and with Frank Crumit's name in large letters, will delight the patrons of Poll’s Theater this week. “Moonlight” commend ft. Baron has a_theme, with psycholog 1y bumor and an excellent company, but, 85 if in the way of contrast. its feminine chorus is somberly over- draped. There are some real beauties in the show besides the' charming Julia, whose pretty face wears the smile that won't come off, whether she wills it or not, and the blonde type is conspicuously represented by Miss Sascha Beaumont, Miss Ann Toddings and Miss Helen O'Shea, who is truly what she is billed, * a dainty bit of dancing Dresden china.” The lyrics by William B. Fried- lander serve a purpose beyond that of the ordinary musical interlude, be- cause the story of the play or some part of its action intermingles in them, and some of them are very pretty, one of them, “Forever," hav- ing linked with it a specialty dance by Ward Fox and Sascha Beaumont, who also repeat after “Old Man in the Moon,” and who do a tense tango later on. “On Such a Night” serves to Introduce four attractive panel plcture: Jdvi\xn-(e Girl,” has many elements to Its book by Willlam Le love experimented It has wit and White, Helen O and grace of classic terpsichore, as well as a ballet-girl breakdown, which seems to be now common in the musical show. ¢ It Again” is one of those llxunllnb melodles that most people like and men invariably whistle. Frank Crumit is tenor with a typi “Alice of Dallas” and “The Colored Romeo's Lament” belng especially fetching. Frank also pleasanuy plays the role of a scholastic butler in the story of the show, which provides op- portunity for delightful comedy work by Louis Simon, who bets ¥5,000 that he can make any couplc become en- gaged, if he is allowed to provide the environment. The play shows how he tries to win his bet Glen Dale of the company has a Pleasing volce and sings well, anl Ann Toddings, with a high soprano, also has some effective numbers. Franker Wood provides an amusing eharacterization as a spealing mem- her of the electric workers' union, whom Simon tries to match up with Betty (the charming Julja Sunger- #on), though Betty is wise In her way and doesn’t propose to be prevented from mating ultimately with the col- Iege-bred butler. There is a saiisical straig runniag \Mv:g: the story whosa dialogue ts #a5 above that of the average musl- 1 comedy. ch!b'o—Cecfl Lean and Cleo Mayfield. Cecil Lean, who, with Cleo May- fleld, heads this week's bill at Keith's, bad only fair success with his offer- an_ideal ukulele 1 line of songs, ing until he dug up his old song, “The Base Ball Fan,” and then he scored “with both feet” With cap pulled down over one eye, a handkerchief around his neck and his coat in his iap, Lean began rooting for the Griffs, and as he pulled the team to victory over the Giants half the audience was on its feet cheering the names of Johnsor. and Harris. Other songs of thc ‘popular stars have been heard bere before. They are very good and stil make hits, while their patter dance is certainly enjoyable. An exceptionally clever playlet, How He Lied to Her Husband,” by ofge Bernard Shaw, scored u big hit, as played by Arnold Daly, Justine Johnstone and Morton L. Stevens, a trio that can put almost any old thing over the footlights with success. Mr. Shaw is sald to have written this playlet nearly two decades ago, but it fits into the present period per- feotly. The lines are crispy, pungent, satirical and sarcastic for the con- ceited husband, and Mr. Daly, playing the lover, and Miss Johnstone, that of the wife, made every word tell, ‘There is nothing extraordinary about the monologue of Montagu Love, only jokes, storics and recita- tions told in a nice, gentlemanly way. Mr. Love does not try to be funny, only entertaining, and he succeeds admirably. One of the best dancing acts before the public is offered by Eileen Schofield and four young men, in “Duncing Lessons” The men are clever dancers and Miss Schofleld iy the personification of ce and agility. The costumes of the star and scenery added to the enjoyment of the act Mlile. Dupree opens the show with porcelain statuettes that are very prett Dollie and Billie, in a sister act, ased with songs and dances: Willlam Ebs, ventriloquist, has a ver: good act; Galletti and Kokin do well with a dancing and musical turn, with a dancing monkey featured, and the usual house attractions complete the program. National—"The Ten Com:-|[| mandments."” “The Ten Commandments,” Cecil B. De Mille's great spectacular biblical drama, entered its third week yes-| terday at the National Theater. The first half of the picture pre- sents one of the greatest spectacles of the screen ever filmed. The re- alistic dividing of the Red Sea for the passage of Moses and the Chil- dren of Israel and the later engulf- ing of Pharaoh's mighty Army per- haps has never been surpassed. The latter half of the picture deals with violators of some of the com- mandments. But the majesty and glory of the picture is in its wonder- ful ancient scenes and characters. Among those in the cast were The- dord Roberts, Tatells Taylor, Charlen De Roche, Leatrice Joy, Rod La Rocque, Nita Naldi, Edythe Chapman and Robert Edeson. Strand—"Cheyenne Days: An attractive vaudeville program, o of the features of which is a d western rodeo pesformaunce. aad Uonal Barrymore's screen interpreta. tion of “I Am the Man,” round out an evening of real entertainment for patrons of the Strand Theater this week.

The per- formance is called “Cheyenne Days." The opening number is put on-by the Roletta Boys, with the ald of an accordion and an assortment of popu- lar airs. A “rube” act is offered by Jack and Reta LaPearl, who pull a lot of rural comedy. Edgar Allan Wolf's skit, “Come Into the Kitchen,” is presentcd by Irene Douglas and & supporting company, with Miss Doug- las portraying the * wite. Marston and Manle: with thelr “Da You Follaw Me?” act. Barrymore, supported by Senna Owen, ton Glass and Flora Le- Breton, lives up to his reputation as a_forceful actor in the photoplay offering, which centers “around the cmotional complex formed by the marriage of a mismated couple. News of the day is shown on the screen, in adition to other auxiliary features. Tivoli—"Dangerous Money" and Symphony Concert. Bebe Danlels and Tom Moore, both popular screcn actors, are featured in “Dangerous Money,” the principal film at the Tivoli Theater this week. Miss Danlel always is lovely to look at and her acting, especlally in the carly scenes, is fine. Mr. Moore, who first won popularity with his famous grin, is just as smiling and Irish as ever in this film. The story of “Dangerous Money" is based on the old and_ ever-popular “Cinderella” motive. Bebe has_the role of a rough little New York orphan, whose miserly old aunt keeps her in a slavey's position. The death of that disagreeable relative appar- ently makes the girl an helress, and ghe is accordingly sent to an ultra- smart boarding school and taken abroad the following summer to enjoy ¥ and catch a titled husband. developments and a second will brought to light show that the money which she is spending lavishly and foolishly in Europe really belongs to the hard-working hero, the girl's for- mer sweetheart.
