Both Olsen and Johnson are original and clever comedians, and this, combined with striking ideas of the other fun makers on the program, developed a combination of quick-fire humor sel- ‘dnm found in the big New York re- {vues. There were certainly more |comedians working on Keith's stage {last night than any one show could afford to carry.

Amazon and Nile opened the pro gram with a wonderful contortion act, the tropical setting adding an atmosphere of weirdnees to the work. Roger Williams followed with imi- tations and scored a hit. Then came “Jerry and Her Baby Grands,” four pretty lassies, playing the piano in unison, while “Jerry” and Mollie Klinger added to the attractiveness of the act with popular songs. The quick-fire comedians, Ed and Tom Hickey, in songs, dances and funny quips, received a splendid re- céption, the former scoring a laugh a minute. The audience was quick to show its appreciation.

Dr. W. A. Abernethy of Washington, D. C.. the last hours of the convention were closed in Sabbath peace and contrast ed sharply with the turbulent sessions of the five days which preceded. Fundamentalists lost two principal engagements during the sessions. effort to unseat delegates from the rk Avenue Baptist Church in New York because of modernist tendencies with which the church was charged was defeated by a decisive vote. A conciliatory resolution directed to the Baptist Mission Board asking it care- to guard the mission fields re. placed an edict asked by the con servatives calling for the withdrawal of all modernist misdionaries from Baptist fields. Bolting of a body of fundamentalists in two extra-session mass meetings, promised to continue warfare against modernism, gave promise of a_ continuation of the struggle at the next convention in Washington, D. C.. in 1926. Call for a funda’ mentalist meeting in Chicago in Octo- ber of this year for discussion of a proposed new Baptist mission society was issued by Dr. J. Frank Norris of Texas, a conservative leader. JOINS UNITED ARTISTS. Goldwyn, Independent Movie Pro- ducer, Announces the Affiliation.
