Tlsdale, mgr.; agt., Orpheum).—In all their lives the artlbts on this bill, which shall go down In the history of the Majestic as. the bill played on the day the big war ended, never bad such an easy time of It. The house, packed with earnest colebrauta, many of whom had bees on the Job since 2 o'clock In the morning, was In- clined to applaud. Tbey were outfitted and equipped with applauding devices and they were there to use them. So every act got a hand. And every act either rang In an ad lib gag on the historic event of the day, or utilized the good old American Dag. It cannot be said that this was done entirely to entice bands. The art- ists had the fever, too. Lttbograpbs of President Wilson and Oen< oral Pershing, displayed on the boxes, nearly tore the house down when the spot flashed tbem, and the show started late as a result. The entire house stood up and sang "The Star Spangled Banner," and thereafter, through every act, they Joined in the choruses and helped the performers along. The Llttlejobns opened the show with their de luxe diamond act. They pleased the easy" to-plesfe fans, who applauded where in ordin- ary times they were wont to tolerate. The good-sized and good-voiced, good-looking Grace Nelson sang through a conventional cycle of numbers to a good-natured response, but got a screaming appreciation when she sang "Land 0' Mine." Jim and Marian Harkins, with their line of witticisms which goes good when the world Is sane, went Immensely with the wild horde In front. John R. Gordon's sketch, "Meatless Days," was practically the o&ly offerihg on the bill which did not by specially Interpolated lines or bits take cognizance of the occasion. But it went over anyway, being a merltorlus and not unfunny sketch concerned with the tribulations and palate yearnings fo a couple of actors who couldn't get a chance to act. Bessie BrownlDK followed. The little clown had everything her own way. The audience was Indulgent when Bessie pulled her rather malororoua bit about the spit, the one un- seemly rift in an otherwise nifty lute of en- tertainment. They even applauded the Eddie Foy imitation. I«ona La Mar henefltted principally by the occasion for the celebration. Somebody asked her via iier plant where the Kntser was bound. Lcona passed her hand over ber head in the approved fashion, looked' up and said: "I don't use that kind of language." Ail the ladles who enquired whether th^ir husbands and sweethearts were coming home sOon from France were advised by Lcona in the affirma- tive, despite the official statement from Presi- dent Wilson to the contrary. All the soldiers Inquired about who were wounded, Mtss La Mar said, were slightly wounded. All the ailing relatives would re- cover soon. Lost articles would he recovered, almost unanimously. It sounded like the mil- lenium. It was highly appreciated. It was thunderously applauded. It was wonderful. There. The Primrose Four, claiming to have a thousand pounds of harmony, bad 'em and made every pound count. They quartetted with glee, and the time-honored antics of the non-slDging members while the solo was work- ing, got as much in the way of applause and laughter as a Chaplin premier. Horace Ooldin closed tbe.show, opening with a flag stunt which fixed him right off in the favor of the house, and going through his smooth routine of finished tricks with great success. Wbee! BvHng- McVlCKBR'S (Jean Burch, mgr.; Loew).— "A Long Way Prom Broadway," a musical- act witb Billy Craig and Jacqueline Tailnmn, fell short of the headline standard. The sing- ing voices of all members are poor, but their dancine ability pulls the act up in places. .Miss Tallman is exceptionally clever and with proper handling would be a winner on any time. She is a very good dancer, full of "pep" and has the knack of putting them over. "What Every Man Needs, a dramatic sketch, went over neatly. Walsh and Bently, late of big time, scored a hit with tbetr good acro- batic stunts, spiced 'with clever gags. Hunter & Shaw, two girls with banjos and songs, pleased. Barry & Lawton scored the bit of the bill. They did everything and got away with it. Soft shoe dancing and gags, but the big laugh came when they tumbled all over the stage on roller skates. The act .could be im- proved by their working in character make- up. Nevertheless they went over the top with a bong. .^ AMBRICAN (W. V. M. A.) Dwlght Peple's "Revue de Vogue" headlined the second halt bill last week. It Is a melange of singing. viollning, planoing and hodge podge musical comedy, carrying four chorus girls who also do bits, a girl viollnlste of average order, a classic dancer who is up to small time stand- ards, and a storehouseful of scenery, two- thirds of which is a nightmare and the Test of which is as tasty and heautiful as the other part is not. A cathedral drop Is superb, and It- lifts for a church interior to be dese- crated by an especially sacreliglous ragtime weddinK, reveallnir extraordinary scene paint- ing and construction. The choristers in the act are comely, the principals are below par. The Dreon Girls, singing twins, passed witb comedy numbers and unveil to Red Cross cos- tumes and flags of all Allied nations for a finale which can't be refused. Wilson and H.

PALACE (Earl Steward, mgr,; Orpheum).- The only artist on the bill at tbts house whose act was "as usual," was the treasurer, and even be had to take encores, for the crowd was hanging from the electric bulbs and squatting in the aisles by the time the cur- tain went up. It wasn't a vaudeville bill after that—Just Americans In makeup anfl costumes on one side of the lights cheering the big news with Americans In other parts of the bouse. Horns were blowing, bells were clanging-it was some night. ' Frltzl SdbeH headlined. When she sang "Kiss Me" about a thousand men arose anil volunteered. Lee arid Cranston, he in a U. 8. aviator's getup and she in the blond beauty with which nature has graced her, plus enough clothes to cover a penny doll, got a wild ova- tion. Henri Henlere, who asked the audience to whistle with him, stopped the show for 15 minutes—it was just what that saob wanted: to get in on the activities, Dolly Connolly sprung her husband, Percy Wenrich, and that called for a couple qf en- thusiastic extra encores. Jim and Bonnie T.'io.-ntnn had..mtWM;l»fttrIotlctj» offer,...but., next to patriotism is the appea'I to'the senti-" ments that take one back to yesteryear, and so the wrinkled old-timers got salvos. Toney and Norman got to laughing so hard them- selves they broke up their own act. The Seebacks, with their marvelous bag- punching, songs by the pretty girl and sopie comedy, opened.
