AMUSE Keith's—Trini, Spanish Dancer. A blll with a preponderance of mirthful comedy, over which Trini, the Spanish beauty and scintillating dancer, towers as the undisputed headliner, is the week's offering at B. F. Keith's Theater. With her own marimba orchestra of eight players and a carload of zorgeous settings, the beautiful Trini yresents a rare artistic entertain- ment that won for her deserved ap- probation from a large first-night audience. All her numbers, which run the gamut from a tango to a dificult Apache sketch, glow with technique and originality. Trini is sisted in her song numbers by War- ren Jackson and by Dario Borzani in her dances. Chief among the numerous comedy etches is a novel one-act play called “Kisses,” presented by the deb- onair William Gaxton, supported by an excellent cast. The act is replete with witty lines and unique situa- tions. Gaxton is a male vamplire with a unique method in getting women of all ages to kiss him. oy Cummings, always a favorite with Keith patrons, is back with his inimitable clowning antics and re- freshing humor. He was received with loud a aim by the first night- ers. His famous tumbles are mor irequent and more breathtaking than Twice he plunges into the or- chestra pit and tears down the back drops just as oft Shaw is with him principally an eve at- ever. Ji Luc: hor comedian, aud his sketch, 'V nas a brisk, amusing line of patter ind plenty of catchy melod His latest composition, “The Command- ments of Love,” scored a decided hit. Miss Geraldine Herbert is his partner. Arthur Hartley and Helen Patter- son have a breezy skit called “One Night”” Eccentric dances are offered by Joe Wallace and Joe Cappo, who describe themselves as “Broadway Adopted Sons. The bill is opened with a fine jug gling act by Elly, a petite f juggler, whose routine ny difficult lertakin utier company close the pro ram with an animal act, featuring an intelligent pony.

McDonald's movel, is strongly cminiscent of the early ickelodeon, when mno - photop e without a dozen or more air-raising climaxes, the great open spaces and sure-shooting two-gun villains. “Frivolous Sal” had its Washington premiere Crandall's Metropolitan Theater and will continue there through the week. | rivolous is certainly melo- dramatic. Mae Busch is its outstand- ng virtue, in the interpretation of a role in which she might quite easily have “splashed over but really is fine. Eugene O'Brien is not so good. His characterization Is weak and weepy when the plot calls for the little manhood his character is sup- posed to portra ‘Frivolous Sal” inherits a Western saloon and dancing “palace.” Her cro (Eugene O'Brien) shows up in the form of a down-and-out actor, stranded and broke. The night they are married their troubles begin when the hero's son by a previous marriage turns up, having ridden “the blinds” with a tramp from New York city. Before the story ends the hero himself has drunk and gambiod away most of her fortune Vaudeville | from | vesterday at | MENTS and then caps the climax by helping a card sharp to rob her safe. But “Sal” forgives him. There are several exciting fights, one between O'Brien and the gambler in an ore bucket several thousand feet above a yawning canyon. In another scene a rider fails to make a leap over a gulch and the unfor- tunate horse plunges several hundred feet tu a sickening death. Apparently, there is no fake about the horse's fall Al St. John furnishes some good fun in a two-reel comedy, “Dynamite Doggy,” and the Metropolitan World Survey, several other supplements and an entertaining overture by the Metropolitan Orchestra complete the bill Columbia——'fle Way of a Girl.” To one who enjoys blood and thun- der melodrama “The Way of a Girl,” at the Columbia Theater this week, may make an appeal, as the picture | moves rapidly from one bloody scene | to another. Eleanor Boardman is “the | gir] who endeavors to show “the man,” played by Matt Moore, that he does not know as much about man- aging women and horses as he thinks he does, and she also demonstrates that the way of the willful always leads to trouble. A unique feature is the showing of | the scenario writer who has, I-l‘\‘t'urd' | ing to ecarly subtitles, been given a story of “rewrite.” Glimpses of the writer are given between scenes, pic- turing him in the throes of composi- tion. It is announced at the outset that he is given the piece of work | with instructions to “make it funny, but not vulgar; show love without assion, and turn out a clean com- edy He promptly opens his plot with an exceedingly vulgar prize fight, makes a masked ball where many sugge vely garbed women are among the cers as the setting of a big scene nd has the heroine in a eding automobile rescued by a murderer in another outstanding scene. The picture, instead of being a comedy, is ludicrous melodrama. The short reel feature, alsc ith comedy intentions, is entitled “Stop, d Whistle.” It starts with a ss-word puzzle, ends with a bo full of cats and has many flashes d voted to nes of a “shimmying’ railroad station ‘ | The overture is from Victor Her- bert's aughty Marietta.” RialioeDiouble Bl ™his is certainly a “bargain week"” | at the Rialto, with two full reel pic- tures, a star vocalist and violinist in solos, Internat News pictures | and excellent orchestral music as the attractions Miss Velma, coloratura soprano, | ! sings several operatic selections in a asing manner, and is obliged |u} spond to several encores.

It has a typical American setting, the action taking place in a smali | Western town, and it concerns the { thrilling adventures of a lively young | American college girl, who Inherits | unexpectedly the town newspaper, | which she finds enslaved by the po- litical boss of the town, and which she sets about at once to free. Her only supporters in her endeavors to speak the truth through the columns | of her struggling little sheet are “the foreman of the composing room,” as she dignifies her one helper, much to his delight; the printer's devil and her editorial writer, an earnest young | professor, who has been ejected from | his position as instructor in the town | school because he has dared to voice | some truths about conditions in the | town. Her enemies are many and | run the gamut of bootleggers, mur- | derers, conspirators, the political | boss and his entire gang. She meets them all, however, fearlessly and en- ergetically exposes the town’s richest man and all his colleagues, until the town finds itself better off than it has ever been. In the meantime the girl has fajlen in love with her editorial writer and the two vow to stand side by side for truth and uprightness. Lois Wilson is pretty and charming in the leading role. Raymond McKee is much in the picture as the earnest | young editorial writer. Noah Beery gives another of hls Intéresting char- acterizations as the political boss. { Willlam Fox, jr, is the printer’s devil , and Raymond Hatton gives an amus- |ing study of a small town photog- | rapher. News reels of the races here and in England, and a ~natural color scenic, with orchestra music, complete the bill.
