20 AMUSE KEITH'S—Clark and McCullongh It's the same old Bobby Clark heading the bill at Keith's this week, and the same old rip-roaring laugh: ter that has vs followed his com- fcal but original efforts. Bobby first tickled the risibilities of the Gay patrons years back; then drifted vaudeville where he caught the eye of a New York producer and helped materially to make the “Music Box Revue” a success. Now, while rest- ing up. he is back in the two-a-day for a little fiyer. Bobby has a par ner named McCullough, but he only a good foil for the median The scene, “The Senators, gives Bob and hi: artner a chance at the old sidewak conversation is stuff in an interview with a woman | reporter. The genius of Bobby is shown in new jokes and patter that carry a laugh every time. The scene then shifts to “The Bath Be- tween.” The act is old, but it went over last night with as great a as ev A half dozen curtain followed its close. Another act not far removed from headline quality is that of the Bob and Gale Sherwood entertainers, ganization of 10 people who do almost anything in the entertain- ing line, and do it well. They make up a jazz orchestra that will stand comparison with the best. The dif- ferent men sing and dance well, and the women, especially Miss Shei wood. help out with special songs, making a big success. The act w. just ahead of the “Intermission, the show would have been stopped h the persistent applause accorded by a very much pleased audience. Baby Henderson, the child wonder. dances gracefully on her toes and concludes with an acrobatic turn that shows she is a contortionist of real skill. Mack Brantley open the show with a roller skating act that is good retta Rhodes and Ruth Watson in a melodious manner, their soprano and contralto voices blending beautifully. and Palmer present their old ac “One Saturday Night,” and it went over as well as ever.

A clever plot threads its way interestingly through the plece that depends chiefly for its success on the talented legs and voice of the attractive Mildred Keats Frank Sinclair is the co-star and he is effervescent with personality. Others are Ched Freeborn, Marian Hamilton and Lucille Arden, the latter two dancers of ability. The Jean Jackson Troupe of cyclists close the biil with remarkable riding and acrobatics. Besides Jackson, the troupe consists of Betty Leese, Babe Jackson, Grace Hooper and Fred Yelle. Dance creations in their various ramifications are executed by Sylvia and George Di Gaetano, including a Spanish dance and the rough apache. Lillian Herlein, with a background of lavish settings, presents a song revue that was accorded a mild reception: Joe Morris and Winn Shaw tried vainly to be comical in “The Mosquito Trust,” and Joe Donahue and Ruth Morgan, in a specialty that features dancing, gives Donahue's § feet 6 of THE PALAIS ROYAL BARGAIN BASEMENT JUNE PROFIT-SHARING SALE Featuring for Tuesday—In Our Bargain Basement—1,500 New SUMMER DRESSES Of Striped Tub Silks— Chiffon Voiles—Flowered Voiles—Checked Silks—Silk Crepe de Chines and Many Washable Novelties event! dred different models. \\'anzer' | an com- | Amelia Di Gaetano, assisted by | that you could imagine.

De Mille'’s ilm_version of the David Belasco-Henry De Mille play, “Men and Women,” the feature at Loew's Columbia this week, starts out with the proposition that it has no hero, no heroine and no villain, but s just a tale of plain, ordinary men and women living in the city where no one makes enough to live on—all of which is simply “hot air.” The story chiefly concerns a young bank cashier (Richard Dix) and his pretty and fastidious yvoung wife | (Claire Adams), whose happy home 18 | nearly ‘wrecked by the other man (Neil Hamilton) in a way that can | scarcely be called original. The other |man opens by payinz attention to }me voung wife, which she welcomes, | inasmuch as the attentions are accom panied by gifts of a rather attractive character. The husband, upon learn- ing this, starts to speculating with the bank's money in order to compete with the homewrecker, and his theft is discovered. He is escorted to fail, where he remains only long enough | for the wife to repent and to secure his pardon. They then start living happily ever after on a coffee planta. tion in Brazil With the exception of the portrayal | of the wife's country cousin by Flora | Finch, there seems to be a lack of realism in the character delineations. It is notable, also, that Neil Hamilton does not play the part of a villain.

Blanche Sweet has the role of a successful Broadway star, Carla King, who. in the pursuit of her am- bition, has allowed no other interest to distract her, so that when John Douglas (Ronald Colman), & mining engineer, comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet with his love, although realizinz that she Supreme LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF FACE BRICK voung | him and give up her life of triumph for fear it will haunt her and she will not be happy without the plaudits of the throngs.

The story then moves on through their experiences in a wild mountainous region, where John's in- terests are c» “There is labor t and a thriling battle in which John is wounded and rescued by Carla from a burning building.
