{ The Johnny Dooley Revue, the top: Jiner at Keilth's this Week, Was re ‘celved with loud acclaim by the large audlence. Dooley has-a. style all his Jown, is always on the logkout for new: #ricks and falls and his work is al- ways amusing, never tiresome, If there is any criticlsm to be made of the act it’is that Johnny allows his supporting, company. to) much Jee- way and does mot work hard erough himself. ‘He has a good company of half .&a,n pretty misses and two le pezstagion who contribute dances whilé thé comedian is “‘getting his breath,” The sketches introduced are all very good, the burlesque on the lightiy-clothed members of the big New York revus being a scream, espe- cially when a hard-hearted collector appears, Much applause was given Johnny and his company at the fall of the curtain. A couple of newcomers, Billy.Shone and Louise Squire, share honors with the Dooley Revue in @ sketch entitled “Lobby Follies” and burlesqueing the work of a rooming clerk at a big hotel. “Shone is a comedian of ability,’ along quiet but effective lines, while Miss Squire is not only good to look at. but is also al comedienne pf conse- quence. Both sing well and the cos tumes of Miss Squire are gorgeous. The lights had to be lowered to this couple off the stage. Another act, new to Washington, Adler, Weil and Herman, who sing the latest songs-with much vigor, had little difficulty in recording & big hit, Lottie Atherton opens the bill with & good dancing act: Judson Cole, a clever magiclan, created laughter with his side talk and tricks; Marguerita Padula: and Monroe Purcell have an entertaining piano and singing num- ber; Harry Thurston in “Character Studies of London Life” is good, & Ruth and Dcik Gilbert with the Glad- yeo Wilbur Girls close the program with a good singing turn. Ruth Gilbert has an exceptionally good voice for the songs she sang. The girls, how- ever, need more training to make the act skip along smoothly. The regular house attractions fill in the gaps in the program. BARLE—Royal Mountain Ash Choir. The Earle Theater this week pre- sents “The Royal Mountain Ash Choir,” Wales' famons male choir which for eight consecutive vears has won first honors in the Welsh national singing contest. It is com- prised_of 16 highly trained voicCes. Its offerings comprise a group of seven songs beautifully sung. The solos of Emlyn Burns and J. P, Wil- liams were especlally fine. Sam Robbins and his dozen Balti- moreans, jazz players formerly of the Century Roof and Ned Wayburn's Revue, are heard in a collection of popular and comic selections. Their novelty, “An Enjoyable Evening With the Radio,” won much applause from the audience. Bot” Schafer and Bernice present their mirth-provok- skit, “An, Auto Tangle.” “Bot” about women ahd. Bernice about automobiles, and the results are very amusing. . 3 Bobby Bernard and -Adele- Kellar have a nut act, “\Mama Loves Papa,” that brought latighter from the audi- ence. Bernard has an original way ‘of putting over his comedy. Van Cel- 1o and Mary, billed as ‘“America’s Foremost Exponents of :Pedalogy,” open -the bill with an act of foot balancing that is good. The photoplay is First National's release of kdwin Carewe's “‘High Steppers,” from the story. “Heirs Ap- ,* by Sir Phillip’ Gibbs. Mary or and Lloyd ‘Hughes lead a big cast including Dolores Del Rio, Alec B. Francls, Aita Carewe, Johw T Murray and Emily Fitzroy. The story concerns two giris and a boy. all of whom “'stepped” Lyt not ii he same way nor for the same reasons. 3 A Century Comedy, and music by Alexander Arons on the pipe orgam, complete a really good bill" €0} BIA—"The Cat’s Pajamas.” Very delightful entertainment is oftered at the:Columbia Theater this week in “The Cat's Pajamas” an Ernest Vajda story for Paramount, which is presented by a well chosen includjng Betty Bronson, Ri- oast, ‘cardo Cortez (not Antonio Moreno, as stated in the theater’s advance notices), | Arlette Marchal and the long-absent, but affectiondtely remembered, Theo- dore . Robérts. ~ The direction of the picture by William Wellman speaks well for the abilities of the young T, “The Cat’s Pajamas” is a whimsical bit of comedy that has been handled with delicate and intelligent care, It is, of course, highly improbable, but it is charmingly absurd and seemed to strike the peculiar fancy at a time of a great opera singe: ‘woven into a dream' come true, and all through the oddest of absurdities, a pajamaed cat. Then, after he has married her smother his wounded pride, throus being jilted by a great cer, the little seamstress ‘to teach himi a leason, that the grea( Cesare Graccn isn't quite “the cat's whiskers.” Petty Bronson is exquisitely appeal- ing and she has never been more fit- tingly cast. Indeed, . “The Cat's " seems to have been written just’ for her—and she walks away Wwith it.+ Not that the others are, in any degree lacking, for Ricardo Cortez is splendidly adapted to the leading role and even the few shats that dis- closed dear old Theodore Roberts as the little seamstress’ T were gratefully received by the audience. Mr, Roberts évidently has not entirely recovered from the severe which caused. his retirement for quite a while, but the author and the direc- tor made it seem quite all right that he should make his reappearance in & wheel chair—and with his favorite cigar, which he seemis to enjoy as much as. ever.

Also it is presented in a manner that even the most fastidious patrons cannot take offense at its fun rehemlr‘x:l,. o] her ex- making. ‘The plot scarcely n as the comedy has been on the legitimate' stage. about a young thing who divo: bridegroom because he wouldn' plain about something, and then covers she has mgde a horrible mis- take—that friend husband is as pure as the lilies of the fleld, and so forth. Her efforts to arrange a second mar riage with the party of the first part lead to ludicrously ‘compromising” situations, which all end well upon the discovery that the divorce “didn’ take” after all. A competent cast, led by Marie Pre- vost and Harrison Ford, handles the series of side-splitting scenes delight- fully. * The spontaneous burst of applause whi the final fade-out of the delicately. ‘beautiful romance, “The Vision,” produced in natural colors, was an unusual tribute to the appre- ciation of high art by &:photoplay audience, “The Vision,” inlpux by Sir John Milafs’ famous painting, - *'Speak, Speak,” would be notable for its lovely settings and rich costuming, had it no other - virtue. But the settings costumes are simply fitting ', back- trYund for a charming littfe love with'an imaginative ending. Directed by Arthur Maude. with the leading roles taken by John Roche and Julanne Johnston, “The Vision” is one of those bits of artistry which will linger long in the memory of those who are privilegead to see it. A ¥ox News reel and a overture, arranged by Daniel Bree- skin, conclude the ! balanced pro- gram. Marsden, a new saxophonist, gives several solo numbers as an in- novation to the overture. ‘The bill presented yesterday will run through next Sunday, after which the theater will be closed for two weeks.
