Although this week'’s bill at Keith's carries several acts that have been here before, they are all so good as i to make the evening's entertainment | above the average.

He has been an enter- ainer in offtelal and social circles for eral vears and but recently was persuaded to go Into the two-a-day. Dunninger works entirely alone, has | ushers pass silps of paper through the audiance on which numebrs and questions are written, and he then calls out the answers from the stage without being near the written queries. He has appeared before t Coolidge, Thomas K reme Court Justice Taf given a half dozen curtain calls at the end of his act. Eddie Nelson, who has been fea- tured in several of the big revues, scores the comedy hit, his fun being along original lines. His run-in with a traffic cop and his many funny falls bring forth salvos of applause. He is ly assisted by Dolly, a_pretty miss, and Officer Byron. The lights had to be lowered to get him off the stage. A neat comedy singing act by Arthur and Morton Havel registers a hit, as both boys sing fairly well and are good dancers. Helen Lochart and Dolores Griffin help to make the act important with their songs and dan Jack McLallen and “Sarah” e back once more with their old act, but it went over with its usual dasl Fred Sanborn, also a funny fellow contributed his share to the act with clever playing on the xylophone, Norton, looking as young and ever, sang in her well known Nathane and Sully start the S | show with an elaborate dancing act, {and paul Sydell followed with a re- | markable trick dog.

Long the home of popular burlesque, the Gayety Theater saw an innovation stalk scross its stage yesterday in the form of a sparkling musical comedy. Burlesque fans, accustomed as they are to slapstick comedians, welcomed the change. “Give and Take,” the' comedy masterpiece of IHurtig and Seamon, with long runs to its credit in New York, Chicago and Philadel- | phia, is the current offering. It is a laugh-provoker par excellence, embel- lished with some first-class singing | and dancing by a fully clothed mixed chorus. Abe Reynolds, a_stellar character humorist, is the main cog in the show. The supporting cast could hardly be improved. Outstanding among them, however, are Florence Mills, who has long been a favorite in Washington; | Poebe Hilson, Jesse Wise, Jimmy Con- | ner, Jim Hall and Frank Miller. The story of the piece is an engrossing satire woven about the labor difficul- ties in a southern California canning factory. Whilo humorous_situations predominate ughout the entire production, the real fun develops when the canning business is put on the co- operative basis and the workers run things_according to their own ideas. | Miss Mills and her dancing boys and girls_stop the show in their “Pick ‘em Up and Lay 'em Down” number.
