CORRESPONDENCE deles* otherwise eotei, the followinf re ports ere lor the current week: GtllGAGO VARIETY'! Chleage OMee, 167 Dearborn Street. C. £. MEREDITH JOHN J. O'CONNOR Representatives STAR AND GARTER (William Hyde, mgr.).— The Rice end Barton "Big Gaiety" opened Sun- day to big business snd gsve such good satlafac* tlon tbst with the Thanksgiving business an un- ususlly big week Is expected. The bouse wss crowded Sundsy night. The opening was an Ideal entertainment. Portions of the olio were fine. The closing burlesque, while not up with the opening, was good. An Orientsl dsnee wss pro- grammed but not given. Unless the eye deceived Sundsy night every principsl with the exception of Cbsrles Barton and Jeanette Young appeared Id the chorus. As a result the show looks big and the scenic equipment mskes It go Into the flrat class. The Rice and Barton show does not change much with succeeding yesrs. The opening bur- lesque consists of sever si muslcsl numbers, a scene In "one," and the fsree, a part of the per- formance since McDoodle snd Poodle of 12 yesrs ago. *Tis true that "The Red Hot Stove" no longer provides the skeleton of the burlesque, but the situstions grestly resemble It. The skit this yesr Is the best yet offered by long odds. The burlesque is sbout the same as used for Ave yesrs —the "col" msn Ides with a new rhyme Instead of the "early bird," etc. The olio is strong with the Bel ford Troupe ss the added feature for the week. The American Cowboy Four keeps com- pany with the Belfords. These two numbers sre s little too strong for Jbhn J. Dempsey snd Jesn- ette Young. However, both of these sets went well. Frank Wesson gets a lot out of s song about "Hendrlk Hudson" on the "Rip Vsn Win- kle" order. He plays opposite Barton In the flrsc part and la one of a quartet of comedians In the burlesque. He la good, though not good enough to detract from Bsrton. MIhs Young wore three gowns iu the first part and they here been se- lected a8 carefully as her songs; both deserved to score snd did. In the last act she wore tights and looked charming. Helen Jessie Moore sang several times aud wore tights In* the last act. Eleanor Revere and Mae Yuir were attractive looking. I/)ttle Welters played the role of Bar- ton'H wife 8plendldly. Charles Wesson danced during the Pcene In one with eleven girls aup- |x>rtlng hlin. He Is rl^ht when dunclng but looks ii trllle young considering that the rest of what Is styled on the program as "the mnle chorus" nre full grown men. There Is no climax to tbe first net ut nil. The bnshmiils get In a terrible pickle and a song and dance closes. In the last skit Kin-ton. Wesson and John TV Griffith and Leo Stevens present the comedy. The comedians who become prominent In this act are funny enough to keep the show going. The chorus Is well trained and tbe male boys exit and enter very skillfully. MERRY WILSON AVKNFE (Charles R. Hagedorn. mgr.: ngent, William Morris).—22-24: Dorsch and Russell. Fred Primrose, Marie Sparrow, Jor- dnn. Frank snd Co.. Ames snd Corbett. The bill for the four days ending 21 was well patronized, considering the sudden change In weather. Cae- sar Rlvoll (who headed the bill full week 15-21) proved big feature.
