September 30 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER CHICAGO VAUDEVILLE 29 PALACE. Considering the multitude of vaudeville houses In the Western metropolis, the Palace Is drawing Its share of the crowd, and at the Monday matinee a capacity house was in evidence. D - Amour and Douglas, In a splendid equilibrist performance, hold down opening position in good shape, closing with an excellent feature stunt. The Primrose Four, In songs of the day, sang themselves Into favor. The comedy of two of the boys had them "holding on." Eight songs were put over, with the audience asking for more. A good record for number two spot. The Meyakos, that clever Japanese family, amused for twelve minutes -with foreign material hi American style. The youngsters sing and dance as a feature. One also performs capably on the violin, Bonitu and Lew Hcorn, with comedy and songs, held down a featore position In great shape. Bonlta was In fine voice and rendered several songs. Lew put over his comedy material and got the deserved results. The "Invisible Husband" stunt, famili ar to burlesque, was responsible for Bonlta making a curtain speech. Dunbar's Bight White Hussars played and marched themselves Into much favor This act Is one of the finest costumed In the business. All are capable musicians and render popular and classic airs. Mill Collins told them all about the political situation in a humorous way and, as usual, scored. Milt was rather pointed in many of his remarks, a goodly share of the audience taking exception to them. However, all were told for amusement, the audience finally sending him off with several bows. The dancing honors went to Ivan Backoff, Lola Girlie and company, presenting their excellently arranged routine of old and new dances. Madeline Harrison and Max Franke also came in for much comment. Savoy and Brennan, the straight man and fe- male Impersonator, had them all fooled until the conclusion of their clever line of patter. The International Girl gave • splendid posing act for closing position. MAJESTIC. Along with the prosperous condition of the West, the Majestic, in the Southern portion of this city, la getting Its share of the crowd. The opening position was drawn by Bice, Elmer and Tom In a comedy bar act. They gave a well balanced performance, executing many hair lalslng stunts. In number two spot, Schooler and Dickinson played and sang many popular tunes. Miss Dick- inson sang In her usual rich soprano voice, and Dan contributed urn. worthy piano playlDg. Milton and De Long Sisters, In their comedy skit pleased. The trio Is doing the same act that It has used for some time, but the audience treated It as though it was new. Laughs came fast through the comedy efforts of De Long, with the girls doing their share with songs. James H. Cullen made his re-appearance to vaudeville patrons with an up-to-date monologue. It's been some time since Jim has shown bis wares in vaudeville, and the reception accorded him at this house demonstrated that be will be a welcome addition to the vaudeville ranks again. Phyllis Nellson-Terry rendered "strictly Eng- lish" entertainment, featuring the same songs and Shakespearean bits as revealed last year. Hufford and Chain, with a talking act, called "By Bequest," topped off with several parodies, had * no reason to complain of their reception. Both boys work, lively and know how to send over material. "The Frame Up," as acted by Claude GlUIng- water and Julie Heme, Is a classic. It's their newest offering and should meet with the same succear as their last playlet. Mr. Gllllngwater was it his best in a character lead, which Btted him like a glove. Miss Herne gave good assistance rounding out a splendid performance. Willie Solar, singing popular airs in different languages, and ftnlahlnf* with eccentric dancing. Was a. feature. Solar's original' way in rendering numbers, ' "caught on™ with the large audience. Be showed many new dancing steps. The Miniature Review, Jewell's Manikins, held them In, closing tfie show with an 'entirety new performance. ■ KEDZTH. (Sept. tl-23.) One of the finest small time vaudeville bill9 ever presented In the city opened at the Kedzlc Theatre with Marie and Billy Hart. They gave the show a great start. Miss Hart makes a beautiful sight In tights. E, J. Moore and his "plant" kept up the laughs with his burlesque magic. Moore can hold down any position on the trig time that is not too important. Tilford, with his novelty ventriloquial offering, is a relief from the shop worn ventrilo- quists. He has a new and splendid idea, and how the big time let him get away is certainly a puzzle. He was the laughing hit of the show. Klass and Watman, with their piano, accordion and violin, stopped proceedings. The boys used every popular song on the market Natalie and Ferorl. with their beautiful dancing act, closed the show. McVICKER'S. Two headline™ for the wee* are Rodney Ranoaa and Marie Nelson, In a playlet called "Conscience," and a racy musical comedy called "The Berlins Bettys."
