BRAIN BOOTLEGEING 13 HIT BY PUZZLERS Tips, From Those Who Solved Twisters Are Barred in Code of Ethics. Determined to uplift the ethics of puzzledom, members of the National eturned to thelr ts of the country urnment of their annual convention, held at the ccidental Hotel. While no formal action was taken, members of the league came out strongly against ‘‘bootiegging’ meth- ods in solving the brain-twisters which may stump them now and then The puzzle fan who ‘“sneaks” an answer to a “flat” or a “form"” with the aid of a whispered tip from some- one who already has solved the brain- baffler is thwarting his own ingenuity, burdening his consclence and gener- ally tending to lower the high stand- ards of things enigmatic, it point- ed out Oppose Keyless Puzzles.

POLI" “The Little Mou Mabel nand, erstwhile Cre star and custard pie heroine, made her debut before the footlights at Poll's last night, and got away with it very nicely. True, most of the burden of putting "he Little Mouse™ across fell on stronger shoulders than hers, but she played her part as well as any- body could have wished, and certal! she did not try to steal anybod: thunder.

Russell Mack played the part of Rich- ard, the husband, and played it very well, too. Byron Hawkins, as Mr. Zero, the impersonator, left a little to be desired. Spencer Charters, i. the role of the butler, made a decided hit with the audlence. These last three, presenting contrasting moods of pre- breakfast inebriation, provided what was perhaps the best entertalnment of the whole show. Allyn King, as Mrs. Smith, was good; Alice Hegeman, as the mother-in-law, was not quite so good; and the same ratio applies down the line. The mechanics of the play helped it along to no small extent. The ac- plausibllity of the plot. quiry might be fatal. GAYETY—"“Follies of the Day.” “Bozo” Snyder, the exponen “sllent burlesque,” is the main at- traction in Barney Gerard's “Follies of the Day” at the Gayety Theater this week. To those who have seen “Bozo” an introduction is unneces- sary, but to the many new patrons of the Gayety it might be stated that he is the one man_ in burlesque today that goes through an entire perform- ance amd get his laughs without the aid of a spoken word. But then “Bozo" cannot truthfully be called silent, as he does a musical turn on a trombone and also introduces a nov- elty in Scotch bagpipes.

The situation has many possibilities, and not a one of them has been neglected. Before things are finally straightened out there have been accusations, capitulations and convulsions, not to mention a couple of shots and some violent treatment of the stage properties. Mabel Normand, as Molly O'Dare, the impersonator’s wife, was quite sat- isfactory. She seemed a bit stage-sh: 1216 F St. N.W. Topcoats For Women and Misses specialties.

Scotty Weston thrilled the audience last night with some rather clever dance num! 3 The girls of the chorus are young and talented, and the scenery is a little out of the ordinary for the gen- eral run of burlesque shows, some of it bringing to mind settings of a big musical show a few seasons back. MUTUAL—“Hurry Up.” “Hurry Up,” 1925 edition, which is the attraction at the Mutual this week, is a swift-moving, well mount- ed burlesque show, with scenic eftects | | that are noteworthy and costumes both novel and colorful. The chief comedian is Ambark All, who, as Bumpsy, supplles most of the humor, The feminine contingent is headed by Vi Penny, May Jenson and Etna Moore, all graceful dancers and good singers. The chorus is above the average of the usual burlesque show, and they can sing and dance with skill. Specialties by the leading members of the company proved enjoyable and ‘were appreciated by the audience. Scenes worthy of special note were “The Fashion Parade,” ““The Human ,Fan,” “Land of Gold” and “Sheik’s Palace. As a whole, the show is above the average.
