A. show at this theatre Tuesday night was on the par with the sterling layouts shown at the Lexington the past couple weeks, the house seemingly was dressed to camouflage Its lack of populace la sections. What the reason was, since an all-star show was billed, and fully lived up to expectations, cannot very well be determined, "excepting loca- tion of theatre. The Equity Revue at the Second Avenue Theatre la but two blocks away. The houses downtown are expected to draw Its patronage tor these benefits from further up- town residential districts. Among those sche- duled to appear, and failed to do so, were Barney Bernard, Sam Bernard, Andrew Toombs and Renee Parker. A man with an A. E. A. button on his right lapel took It upon himself to explain this In the lobby prior to the doors' opening, Sam Is prevented from doing' so by virtue of an Injunction, and Barney was 111. The Toombs-Parker duo did not show for no reason at all. He stated that Lilian RuBsel, Herbert Corthell, Marie Dressier and Hazel Dawn would substitute. As things proved later, the latter two did not "appear, although Mr. Corthell, doubling from the Lex- ington, did five mlnues or so. Miss Russell took up her inning to give the audience a little Inside dope on the strike situation. Even downtown yokels were aware of the name of Lillian Rusell, and tbey ac- corded her an ovation on entrance. Miss Rus- sell impressed the house with her sincerity. The layout of the bill was perfect. If was too long, spasmodic In minutes consumed by the individual turns, made so by the great number of them, the performance finally con- cluding well nigh the witching hour, not without intermittent walkouts during the course of the last 40 minutes. When Alex- ander Umansky and Ann Lean appeared for the last turn, with their ballet oferlng, they did one number, and bad to take final bows owing to the great number of walkouts. . The bill proper held 16 acts. Walter J. Kelly opened with the Equity mob scene, as at the Academy the previous evening. Ray Raymond, with Percy Wenrlch piano accom- . panylng, sang but two songs, too little con- sidering the value and ability of the enter- tainer. Then came Gladys Rice, the talented offspring of Sally Cohen and John C. Rice, who besides doing her turn at the Rivoll this ' week, Ib oh the regular Lexington program, having hurried downtown to do three songs to appreciative returns. Ted Shapiro, at the ivories, did double duty that evening, later acting In a similar capacity for Jack Squires. An unnamed, albeit announced French sailor, with a beautiful Van Dyke, told some stories, some of ancient vintage, sang a couple of songs In French and whistled his way to a hit He appeared once at a Lambs' Gambol. Adele Rowland had to beg off after her songs. Will Donaldson, the song writer, pre- sided at the piano keyboard. Jack Terry, Mabel Lambert and Lambert Terry, their son, fared well with their clever variety skit Fol- lowing Miss Russell, Marjorle Bentley and John Lowe, ex-"La La Luclllltes," stepped some, handicapped by an unbarmonlous or- chestra. Herbert Corthell came, saw and conquered, giving way shortly to Walter Hampden with his "Hamlet" excerpt Talk about educating the masses. They want to be educated. It the reception acorded Mr. Hanip- den Is any criterion. Riggls and Witcble, a classy couple with a pair each of educated feet, tore off one of the big hits of the show. Ditto with the gifted Charles Althoff, doing his "Sheriff of Hlcks- ville," as perfect a characterization as was ever portrayed on the stage. Anyone can ap- preciate Mr. Althoff, but all the more la the beauty,of his art to the one who Ib "wise" In the ways theatrical. Some of his bits there should be patented, copyrighted, locked-up, Imprisoned or what not to protect them. What was announced as the Equity Opera Singers were the six people from the Revue at the Second Avenue, having hopped over to render the sextet from "Lucia. They scored solid, jack Squires, on next, offered the same routine as at the Academy Labor Day night, scoring equally as well with two of Irving Berlin's latest Ted Shapiro, spectacles-less this trip, did his own arrangement of "Pal 0' Mine" for a piano solo, and scored. Pearl Sindelar, Hugh Cameron and Stuart Wilson, somehow did not fit In with a sketch at this point as a result of which they missed. The piece needs trimming, is too long drawn out, seems to be new, although the comedian, the "husband" character, has his fat lines down pat and won laughs fast and free, save for his low asides which did not reach beyond the middle of the orchestra. The sketch could stand cutting, especially, so where those flowery lines of the young man. Is concerned, he being none to sure of them, as It Is. MIbb Sindelar, too, is too little on the stage, most of the playing time being consumed In smart cross-fire between the men. The Umaneky- Lean turn closed after one nnmber. Abel. CABARET. Atlantic City has found additional prosperity in its cabaret since wartime prohibition went into effect Increases of business are reported, at the hotels Martinique, Beaux Arts, Moulin Rouge, . Alimo and Cafe Martin. Before^ pro- hibition through local laws, cabarets there had to be run under the subter- fuge of "hostesses," in charge. With prohibition a strictly cabaret or revue entertainment was given. If national prohibition goes into effect next Janu- ary, the seashore resort appears to be all set for a continuance of profitable cabaret patronage. * ■^^.^.^ri^^fe^
