THE EVE AMUSE POLI'S—Hassard Short's Review. Charlotte Greenwood and warmer weather arrived in town simultaneous- 1v last night. It is difficult to say which is the more popular. even in the light of the Capital's well known sversion to cold. | Miss Greenwood brought the rest| of Hassard Short's Ritz Revue with Ler to Poli’s, the rest including such notabls as Jimmy Savo, Hal Forde, Jay Brennan, Stanley Rogers, William Ladd and Jackie Hurlburt The revue advertised ongest ugh in the world, (alls short, it is_ probably because Miss Greenwood, Mr. Savo and Mr Brennan do not have enough \\uv'hl to do.

Not sven the most ardent unionist could muster up enough unselfisk to| vote negatively to such a proposition. | The revue opens, conventional with the stage set as a gigantic nur: ; sery in which all shows are born. It| steps rapidly through e | and comedy to Miss Greenwood's bath: tub scene, one of the best of its kind. Miss Greenwood's bath is interrupted to the trepidation of the audience. hy every cne f 1 movie directors to ive men.

The second act opens with mime, “The Red Ladies,” giving bird's eve vi s of Camille, Lady Macbeth Zaza, Carmen, La Tosca, Salome, Cleo- | vatra and DuBarry at their best. The | next notable ensemble event is a sil houette dance fantasy that is bound to please. The dancing superb, the set artistic.

The only unfortunate feature of the playet is that it does not zive Miss Starr an opportunity to display her emotional ability in which she won fame under the banner of David Belasco.

Bobby Randall, a Al Jolson pattern, programed as “A Better Man Than Gunga Din,” keeps the audience in a continuous uproar with humorous songs and stories. His sags about the war and woman auto- mobile drivers are gems of comedy. | The Pasquali Brothers are truly remarkable acrobatic trio in breath iaking and spectagular feats per formed with great rapidity and ease. irank Kurtz and Jack Cully, a har- nonious pair, have melodious voices that struck a responsive chord. They depleted their repertory, but the audi ence appealed for more. The Billy Lamont Trio of wire step pers open the bili. which is framed with the usual subsidiary screen fea tures. The audience which left Keith's last night had hands red from ap plause black face of the EARLE—Ann Sauter. Ann Suter, at the Earle this week, so far as entertaining goes, is the whole show. The audience that packed the beautiful house to the doors last night kept calling for Ann and passing flowers over the footlights untik her allotted time was greatly ®wxceeded and she finally had to come out and thank the crowd and beg them 1o let the show proceed. On the main Keith circuit, Miss Suter is just as big a favorite, but to whet the ap petites of her many admirers there, | she is occasionally held in reserve for | a season and then goes back with her value doubly enhanced. Last night she puL gver a number of songs in her m\;"ri inal way, which, added 10 her clewfrness and mannerisms, seemed to set the audience wildly laughing and applauding. Her two | hest songs were about a South Sea | Island vamp and “Love 'Em and | Leave 'Bm.
