14 THE EVENING ‘STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, JULY 20, 1925. AMUSE KEITH'S—Johnny Dooley's “Tiptop i Revue.” ;Manager Roland Robbins has pro- ded a fine show for_ the visiting Macabees this week at Keith's. yJohnny Dooley &nd his “Tiptop Re- viie"are the headliners, and the offer- ing is away above the average as to npvelty, pep and pretty costumes. The remainder of the bill, however, is such as to compel the clever comedian 16 go_some to retain the leading hon- ors. Dooley’s host of friends were on hand and gave him a warm greeting, and the little fellow, by way of ac- knowledgment, turned in all his comi- cal tricks with great success. Doo- ley has picked several performers from the New York revues and his little sketches are interspersed with enjoyable dancing and singing. A half dézen curtain calls rewarded Dooley and his company and he seemed very proud of his hit An offering similar, but not so elab- orate, is presented by Willlam Sully and Genevieve Houghton, in a musical playlet entitled “Arms and the Girl.” Sully s one of those clean-cut, nice comedians, always wearing a smile, and it {s doubtful if there is a better dancer in vaudeville. Miss Houghton is nice to look at, a good foil for Blily and in addition sings very well. The scenery, depicting the foreground of a military academy, is elaborate and makes the act impressive. Sully stopped the show for a couple of min- utes, and finally begged off. To those who love high-class sing- ing, Leonard Del Credo and Jeanne Palmer offer a treat. They have ex cellent voices and Miss Palmer espe- clally one of rare sweetness. La Fleur and Portia open the show with a con tertion act. Nate Leipsig follows with card tricks that are mystifying and entertaining. The well known musical clowns, Henry and John Arnaut, sdore their usual big hit; Charley Ir. Win has a lot of new stories and jokes, apd the Greenwich Village Models pose as beautiful statuettes. Aesop Fables, the Pathe News and Current Topics complete the bill. EARLE—Bostoc! Riding School. A serles of entertaining vaudeville aets, including good acrobatics, fair singing and comedy and a good mo- tion picture, constitute the program at the Earle Theater this week. Deserving of special mention also are the McCool-Rellly-Murray trio, who appear in an Irish song number; and Tuck and Ginnis, in “Look What Nature Has Done,” which comprises contortionist stunts and good acro- batics. Bostock’s Riding School, which features Lillian St. John in an interesting novelty number, entitled “How Circus Riders are Made,” gives ohe an insight as to how clrcus riders are developed. Three horses are made to gallop methodically aprund the stage to furnish the nieans for the riding. Much comedy and clowning also are injected in the aet. Other acts include “The Love Bur- glar,” featuring Fred Jarvis and Freddie Harrison, which has much comedy, and Sully and Mack as the “Great Lovers,” in a sketch which farnishes a good laugh. In_the picture, “The Beauty and the Bad Man,” is visualized Peter B. Kyne's story of a girl who mar- ried “a good-for-nothing individual, whose character she discovers the same day and leaves him. Sub- sequently she s loaned money, by a rich friend, to study music abroad. Bventually the husband is shot and shs marries the friend who had loaned her the money. Mabel Ballin is the herolne. She is supported by Forrest Stanley and Georze Ander Beranger. A Century comedy rounds out the Drogram. RIALTO—“Raffles.” The screen version of “Raffles,” W. Hornung's creation, is portr by House Peters and an adequate supporting cast at Moore's Rialto this week The daring “Raffles,” as interpreted of the silver sheet, is the central fig- ure of a very entertaining comedy, with a delicate love theme and thread of mystery interwoven. He is a cle ef, philanthropic, amateur cracksman, biit as the unknown quantity of a mys- téry play he is disarmingly obvious. He outwits dull wits, but he baffles no one. Apparently every one, in- cluding the detective on his trail, knows exactly who the ‘amateur cracksman” is, but his alert brain ways devises some means of eludin his pur: 1 when he is appar- eftly nd it is all over but Recklessness and in- than a baflling per- outstanding qualities | tory involves a series of jewel thefts from prominent members of English society, always with the same ending—the jewels are mysteriously returned with a note suggesting the disposition of the large reward. Fi- nally, Raffles, the author of both the notes and the robberies, sees a jewel he covets above all else—the lovely daughter of an Inglish nobleman. s skill in eluding numerous pur- suers and at the same time capturing his prize is related in a series of dra- atic scenes which are entirely con vincing. Miss Dupont is the heroine of the story. The cast includes Hedda Hop- per, Y¥rederick Esmelton, Walter Long, Kate Lester and Roland Bot- tomle: Mever Guterson's Bathing Beauty Revue proves to be a popular addi- tion to the program. A series of \Washington beauties make their ap- pearance in gay colored beach cos- umes and attractive smiles. The smiles are as dazzling as the cos- tumes, though not so brief. A cello solo by Richard Lorleberg and selections from “The Fortune Teller” by the Rialto Orchestra com- plete the musical program A Winkler comedy, “Alice Cans the Cannibals’; an International News reel and a Grantland Rice Sportlight fllm showing slow motion pictures of swimming stars are additional screen attractions. PALACE—“Welcome Home.” ‘Welcome Home,” James Cruze's flm version of the play by Edna Ferber : H 5. Kaufman, which opened engagement at Toew's Palace Theater yesterday, has s the outstanding members of its cast Lois Wilson, Warner Baxter and celved when he came to visit his son and daughter-inlaw, and of the thou- sand and one aggravating ways in which he availed himself of the wel- come. In his effort to be an agreeable and happy addition to the family he all but broke up the party. In the fir place, he started “fixing things” by repairing the light, raising the shades \and similar efforts. Then he kept Nettie and Fred waiting for break- fast while he lay in the bathtub reading the newspaper. He capped the climax, however, when he in- sulted the old gentleman speaker at the meeting of Nettie's club, which she had invited to her home, and Nettle, thoroughly aroused, informed Fred that either his father or she would have to leave the house. In the meanwhile the older Mr. Prouty, although oblivious of the damage he had done, has been persuaded by @ome old cronies to avail himself of vecancy in a home popular with o aged, thereby solving a very dif- ficult problem. Lots Wilsen and Warner Baxter are both as good as the various situa- tons demand, but Luke Cosgrave qairies off the honors of the picture as the misgulded father. Those who gre seeking amusing comedy will find 13t in “Welcome Home.” & hilerious "Our Gang” comedy, the’ MENTS Pathe News, Topics of the Day and a pleasing musical program comple the entertainment. ¥ Metropolitan—*Her Husband's Secret.” \ Excellent attempts to make rather conventional movie material info worthwhile entertainment are noted in “Her Husband's Secret” the offering at Crandall’s Metropolitan - Theater this week. Patsy Ruth Miller and Antonio Moreno make the attempgs, and they are well worth seeing. The story lacks originality—a mnot severe indictment. A youth, tired of defeat soctally, marries a girl for her money and achieves the social recog- nition he craves. Finally it palls on him and he takes his young son and runs away. The wife turns to a banker neighbor for advice in the emergency. This neighbor is the widower father of a small daughter. Twenty-five years elapse, and ithe small daughter elopes with a young man named Owen Elliott. It develops that the young man is the son of the deserted woman, whom the bankerhas learned to love. He is in financial difficulties, but his banker-parent-in- law aids in extricating him and the whole matter ends hap~flv. Miss Miller and Moreno are out- standingly successful in their roles, while David Torrence, Walter Mc- Grail and Phyllis Haver do excellent work. The droll Lloyd Hamilton .provides the mirthful stde of the bill fn a two- reeler called “‘Waiting,” a story of a voung man with a will to win who rises from a dishwasher to walter in a swell cafe. Daniel Breeskin's Or- chestra plays “The Bohemian Girl"” as an overture in its usual delightful way. COLUMBIA—“Paths to Paradise.” A new kind of comedian in a new brand of comedy-crook drama is the attraction at Loew's Columbia this week. It is a diverting story for the featured players, Raymond Griffith and Betty Compson, a well mated team, and is called “Paths to Para- dise.”” ‘It was taken from Paul Arm- strong's story, “The Heart of a Thiet,” a burlesque of soclety erook- dom, ‘which presents its hero as the chief crook and the detectives as blundering saps. 2 Griffith is delightfully funny as a swell, who, in eveninggclothes and high’ silk hat, swaggess in for a visit to a notorfous resort, where he is promptly and entirely relieved of all his valuables. Not being such a Dboob as he seems, however, he turns the tables on the criminals and, posing as a detective, makes them captives and forces them to buy their release. This so enchants Molly, the Queen of Chinatown, that she agrees to work with him in a big jewelry robbery he has planned, and which to- gether they succeed in pulling off. With the loot they fly to the Mexican border, hounded by detectives, who are outwitted by the hero-crook at every turn, and this causes continual mirth. Of course, there is a satis- factory ending whensMolly and her partner discover that they want to be real partners for life, and with this discovery they also make the de- cision to “go straight:” Betty Comp- son is good in this type of role and Griffith, who but recently has been “discovered,” displays a penchant for a subtle sort of humer. “Daddy’s Gone A'Grunting,” obvious and hilarious travesty on married life: news reels, Topics of the Day and Brusiloff’s music complete the bill. g 'l‘“'l.)l‘l—E hickie.” Dorothy M Il is pictured at Crandall's Tivoli Theater the first two days this current week in First Na. film version of Slenore 's “Chickie.” the story of a v stenographer with a ven / and the companionship of an 3 ~ -~ STEARNS’ Etectric Paste Kills Rats, Mice, Cockroaches, ‘Waterbugs, , Ants, Ete.
