Vitaphone takes Fannle to 1Its heart, registering every bit of her charm, voice, mimicry, ogling eyes, | twinkling toes, obstreperous legs, misbehaving fingers, all that has made Fannie Brice the world's most famous singing comedienne, is caught perfectly.

Wood Working Plant Burns in Augusta, Me. Augusta, Me., Jan. spectacular $150,000 fire which de- stroyed the main sash factory and auxiliary plant of the Newhall and Hanson company here was brought under control early today after it had menaced nearby tanks of the Kennebee Oil Company and damag- ed the roofs of five dwellings. Because of the proximity of fl\b; ol tanks, firemen maintained an all night vigil. For more than an hour late last night most of the city was in dark- ness. Eleteric power was shut off when live wires appeared in danger of becoming severed. Dry wood filling the main plant gave the fire intense impetus and in one instance the blaze grew so hot that firemen had to turn away in haste, dropping their hose nozzle. The heavy nozzle was burned off | the tubing. The blaze was reflected in the sky at Lewiston, 30 miles way. The cause was undetermined. Young Robber Gets 18 Years in Prison Worcester, Mass., Jan. sentence of not less than 18 years was imposed by Judge Burns in su- perior criminal court yesterday on Joseph R. Dogiel, 20, charged with robbery in three counts. On condition that he stay at homo and turn over to his mother all but $4 of his weekly wages, Vincent Alick was probated by Judge Burns on a charge of breaking, entering and larceny. Conn.

New Grand theater, than is usually |ths case. Evidently this Mutual Burlesque production offers a glori- | ously funny time, and while it is a |newcomer under the Mutual banner, | !it has already established a reputa- tion around the circuit for being dis- tinctive entertainment. While the rules of burlesque have not been transgreased to any extent, still care- ful pains seem to have been taken to steer clear of the beaten path. To | do this it was necessary to scour jvaudeville and musical comedy book- ln' agencies for desirable talent. The engagements depended upon secur- ing artists whose chie? stock in trade | consisted of original fun and unique | |singing and dancing specialties—a {more difficult undertaking than the average person realiger. GOOD BILL AT STRAND |Finls Fox, who wrote the scen- rios for ‘‘Resurrection” and “Ra- ona” while searching for a like.y plot for Miss Del Rio found a little story in a book called “The Beur Tamer's Daughter,” now showing as “Revenge” at the Strand today and | Wednesday.

Metcalf and Felix Hebert at the annual meeting of the Rhode Island Textile Association at the Hotel Biltmore here last night. Governor Norman 8. Chase prophesied a new era of success and activity for the industry. Senator Fess spoke in favor of passage of the crulser bill and also spoke of the Kellogg peace treaty. He took exception to talk that the 4(“0 measures are inconsistent and |aded that we should not live in a “fool's paradise,” indicating that while there is no possibility of a war, we should be prepared. He added that he would vote for the {time limit clause. Grorge P.

This edition of the “Follies” has everything that has gone to make the Greenwich Vilage entertain- ment of high caliber. There are gor- | geous stage settings, humor that is ! not forced. dancing that captivates and specialty numbers without end. There is also a deal of nonsense | | which fills in the chinks and helps | to maintain the fast pace with { which the entertainment proceeds. Three scenes, ‘*Calypso Isle,” Up in the Clouds” paraliel the best conception of stage beauty in the history of revues. In each the set- tings are lavish, creating the impres- | sion that the producers have squan- dered their money in a delirium of recklessness and contempt for ex- | pense. The 16 Chester Hale dancing girls ring the bell at their every appear- ance. Since Chester Hale put his first group of dancers on view in | this vicinity—it was with Harry Delmar's Revels—the name Hale has been synonymous with perfgc- | tion in the art of unison dancing. The 16 maidens with the “Follies” live up to the Hale standard, their charm and grace being one of the real highlights of the bill. Dr. Rockwell is the leading fun maker and moves all over the the- ater in various shapes and disguises in carrying out his part on the bill. | The “Doc” is a big factor in the suc- | cess of the show. Blossom Seeley and Benny Filelds seem to be popping out from unex- | pected corners every few minutes. Blossom carries on commendably, revealing her talent best in her “blues” song. Evelyn Law contributes several dancing specialties that keep her up with the headliners. Helen Gilligan | adds to the success of the show ' with her pleasing personality and her likable *bits.” She is especially rleasing in her ‘“Little Boy Blue" number assisted by the Chester Hale girls and the ensemble. Harry Jans and Harold Whalen are funmakems and hokum artists of the first water. Laura Le a vivacious miss with plenty of “It."” Eddie Shubert ships in a few sketches, his best being In | “Broadway."” Several short burlesques on cur- rent dramatic productions are well done. Two interpretive dancers — a boy‘, and & girl—whose names do not ap- | pear in the program, are the sensa- | tion of the show. “Greenwich Village Follies” will be repeated tonight and tomorrow | night with a matinee tomorrow.
