The idea is not exactly new, but on the charge of age but few theatrical or even other ideas could escape con- viction. “Jack in the Pulpit” entertained the audience that saw it last night, however. The sight of crooks run- ning @ church and putting it over lilke master modernists is somewhat unique in the way of an appeal, and the Robert Ames quartet does the job probably as well as it could be done. Young Jack Faber and three grad- uates of Sing Sing are put into the predicament by Young Jack's Aunt Lucinda. She leaves Jack a million on_aondition that he return to Rose- dale Junction and take over the pas- torate of a church that she had bought for him. Jack says no, but changes his mind when the girl In the old home town writes. He starts out by putting the congregation in its place at the reception, and from then on, each member of the flock does his or her share in annihilating the traditlons of the parish. The girl becones the new pastor's secretary, and writes sermons for him that vir- tually denude the town's other churches of worshipers. Things cer- tainly are golng fine, up to this point. Then Jack's uncle, a very grouchy old. person, you may be sure, tells him there won't be any million after he has complied with all the terms of the will. The object of this often- told lie is to get the girl, the pas- torate and the milllon for the uncle's son. It fails to get over. Jack sticks and so do his pals, who have been feathering their nests with movie| tickets and fiivver bills of sale. Then, a plece in the paper brings the de- tective. The pastor calls a meeting of the board, confesses. They refuse to let him go. Big-hearted Jim Cor- rigan, the detective, refuses to dis turb the boys’ reformation. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, -1924. AMUSEMENTS clarionet in a way probably new to Washington. Rube Walman enter- tains with a novel whistling specialty. A pantomime of the “Shooting of Dan McGrew"” was well done, largely due to ‘the ability of Harry O'Neal. The chorus is welil drilled in dance steps, and good taste is shown in the costuming. Mutual—"Hello Jake" Girls “Hello Jake Girls” offers habitues of local burlesque at the Mutual Theater this week an entertainment not very savory. The cast is headed by Harry (Hello Jake) Fields, whose conception of comedy evidently needs guidance agalnst lines that are coarse and vulgar and at times repulsive. Dixle Mason, a corpulent woman, carries on a conversation with any in the audience who will listen, Interspe: ing her chatter with songs and phys cal gyrations, alded by a strong spotlight thrown on the uncomfort- able victim to make the audience laugh. Violet Hilson also pursues the same tactic: Frances Ry who confines her activities to legitimate requirements, has a good voice and “the humorous male quartet” harmonizes melodiously | INDORSE BRANCH BANKS.

Harry Steppe is more ‘than half the show this week, and his originality in the portrayal of the Hebrew sport and good fetlow is good for a laugh | any time. His comedy is good, al- fhough there are times horseplay is a little too muc out. He has two able assistants in Vic Casmore and Harry O'Neal, former well known as the excitable Frenchman and the latter a capable “straight.” A trio of girls are on the | drawn the bill are not lost sight of.
