Mnrt.Vn nnd Moore, billed on the program as he Ute "tars of the Merry Whirl, had a ?ough passage but managed to get over. (Bee Ke a-i.re t Kdm<md made her first metropolitan appearance and wns a tremendous hit. (See 1 ^aciyn''Arbuckle presented his sketch, en- titled "The Beform Candidate," and was the In me bla- hit that he always is. The cast in- cludes:'Sidney Cuablng, Evelyn Weldllng and Lanes Burrltt who were nicely cast, and met with the approval ot the audience. Mr. Ar- huekle gave bis usual capital portrajal ot the boss politician, and the act was a real feature on the program. Raymond and Caverly had everything their own way, and kept the audience In good humor throughout their act with their funny dialogue and songs. The act was the big In nulling success of the bill. Vnridcrbllt and Moore, Introducing a sing- ing and dancing novelty, were well liked. Their songs were good, axd both members of the team worked well. They received, much applause at the finish of the act. T'ic I'our Londons closed the bill with a very clever casting act, which is one of the beat acts of Its kind la vaudeville. i -^—— Lincoln Square (Chan. Ferguson, mgr.) —The delightful weather of Thursday, 6, did not prevent the regular patrons from making their mid-week visit here, in order to Inspect the new vaudeville numbers arriving with, the semi-weekly change of bill. livery seat held an occupant when John dimmer, the artistic juggler, started the ap- plause with his dexterous manipulation of the rubber balls. Bis work with these ob- jects would nearly All the time of an ordi- nary Juggling act, but bis further deft dis- play with the cigars, handkerchiefs, and closing with the bats, brought rounds of ap- plause. Lcs Gallas Trio, two men and a woman, in operatic selections, followed, and easily car- ried off the vocal bit of the bill. They opened with selections that are more or less familiar with vaudeville patrons. These were well re- ceived, and the men then gave a duet with splendid harmony. The woman rendered a classical ballad delightfully, and they closed with trio selections which caused even a demonstration from the gallery boys. Richards and Montrose started their act fairly well with song and dance. The girl then attempted a "biddy" number, which did not get by very strongly, as her voice lacked the necessary power. The young man, how- ever, pulled the act up with an excellent college boy song number, his acrobatic dan- cing winning plenty of applause, and they closed with a "rag" song and dance In fine style. "The Futurity Winner" followed In the sketch position of the bill. Excepting the man, who appenred In the role of the crooked trainer, the cast was of good calibre, and the three horses In the "race", did their part nnhly. The finish stirred the snorting blood of the big audience even to the point of cheering, and "King Solomon," the winning horse, got four curtain calls. " 'Neath the Mississippi Moon" was the Illustrated song number, filling the number five position ot the program, but the song did not seem to have the necessary "catch" in its melody. John Neff had his banner placed at left ot stage, announcing him as the "world's great- est musician," and he then proceeded to tell stories and render his songs without attempt- ing to play on a single Instrument His idea Is a novel one, and It made a very successful appeal to the big audience. The De Onzo Bros, closed an excellent bill with their expert acrobatic jumping feats from bottles from stage to tops of tables, and in and out of barrels, while both performers were blindfolded. Most of their work Is of an unique order, and all of their feats were performed with neatness and skill. Fourteenth Street (J. Wesley Roscn- <inest, mgr.li—An exceptionally gooa bill was offered to the patrons of this house the latter part of last week. The combination of a rainy afternoon and the extraordinary bill crowded the house Thursday afternoon, June 0, many of the audience having to wait In the lobby until others left their scats. Harry Tate's clever company, In "Motor- ing," was the headllncr. In "Motoring" Mr. late has one of the funniest sketches ever effcred, Jack Drlscolt Is well known to audiences at this house and needs no Introduction. "I want to Be In Dixie" was rendered by him SLffP™*"* voice. Colored slides were used and the chorus repeated many times. Harry Dare ottered his musical specialty and some comedy talk. The music was liked. Marlus and Clements, a man and woman, with good voices, first appeared In Italian characters and later changed to evening dress. Their singing was well liked, a spe- cialty by the woman going very strong. Hayes and Feelev, a Dutch and a Jew co- median, appeared In one. The hit part of their offering is the unusually clever paro- uies on popular songs Win. Cabin, an Irish monologlst, put over some very fair comedy talk. Hose Tiffany and ner company, consisting {.',.two men, offered an amusing sketch, en- titled 'A Mix-up." The story is of a young married couple who have told each other that jney had no relatives, A burlesque actress turns up as a sister of tho bride, and a race- V,, iS'2 owor a » brother of the bridegroom. miss Tiffany doubles as the bride and the actress, and one ot the men as bridegroom ana gambler. The other man plays the part SJL?* S" ln • creditable way. A good sketch, well put on. Mndlson Square Roof Garden.—This resort was announced to open last wcek, but owing to Its not being ready In time the June % WM postponed t0 Monday evening, .nS nlq !!* (B ; h W* 111 - mgr.) — Vaudeville and motion pictures. •rtnfTZl (Rowsnberg Bros., mgrs.) — Vaude- ville and pictures. nwtl. 8 «'"»*e.— Motion pictures and Photoplays are the offerings. t,i„T?! ,,e,lr * (AJb - rt Kaufman, mgr,)—Motion pictures and Illustrated songs. »i-»..„ e (Edward Strauss, mgr.)—Motion pictures and vaudeville. v„i!!J" n ,'J 8tree « (Harry Bcekman, mgr.)— »nndcvlllc and motion pictures.

Rog- ers, mgrs.)—Monday, June 10, ushered in the second week of the return to all star vaudeville at Mr. Keith's popular downtown theatre, and a full house enjoyed the good bill offered. Marseilles, a young mnn -with a seemingly unbreakable body, performed some contortion and gymnastic stunts that won hearty ap- plause. Charles Klass and Ben Bcrnlce, billed as 'The Fiddle Up Roys," were slow ln start- ing, but they finally got warmed up, and their closing number, with, the help of the orches- tra, got them a good band and several cur- tain calls. One of tho boys plays a fiddle and the other a piano accordion. They drcBS neatly in blue, and the act, on the whole, is a very fair one. When Charlie Ahearn's Comedians appear there Is always something doing. Numerous freak machines are ridden, as only expert cyclists can ride. The last feature, a red devil automobile vs. a bicycle, was exciting and laughable. The young woman, who ap- pears ln black tights, does much to make the act the big hit It la. Eunice Burnham and Charlotte Greenwood offered an act In which there Is much that Is good and some that is not good. The making fun of a baldheaded man in tho audience is neither funny nor ln good taste, and the young lady of the team, who Indulges In this style of comedy (?) would do well to cut It out of her work. Her team mate, who plays on the piano, performed nicely and looked very pretty. Bert Fitzglbbons, 'The crnzy singer of crazy songs," was well liked. He appeared In street clothes and without make-up. He Is clever and orirfnai. Kluting's entertainers surely are a remark- able collection of cats, dogs, plgeoas and rab- bits. The act Is picturesquely staged and en- tertaining to many, althougb It seems to the writer tnat animal acts are not so popular as they have been. Ronlta and Lew Heain, with the assistance of Billy Augustln, offered the same act seen In New York early ln the Winter. The old burlesque stuff of the wise dame, the rube eud the Imaginary husband still gets over with a laugh. Bonlta, ln black and white, looked stunning, while Lew ileum, as a rube, would be hard to bent The original way In which he sings "O You Beautiful Doll" was one of the big hits of the show. 8am Chip and Mary Marble are still ap- pearing ln their pleasing sketch, "In Old Edam," and are a big feature In this week's bill. Catchy songs and the talk of the two Dutch kids is always pleasant to hear. in "The Suffragette," written by Frank- lyn Ardell and Wolfe Gilbert. Ann Walter and Franklyn Ardell were a great success. Miss Walter, as candidate for mayor of Cow- hide. Kan., put a great deal of energy In her work, and although her acting was great, she Is too attractvc to be a Teal, honest, suf- fragette, and Is defeated for mayor by her husbsnd, who, ln a clever stump speech, puts the kibosh on women officials In Cowhide, Kan. i American (Charles S. Potsdam, mgr.)— —The Incomlug change of bill of Thursday matinee, June 6, found the usual capacity house on hand. It was a co-king good pro- gram, and every number was highly enjoyed and appreciated. Walsh, Lynch and company, in a one act dramatic comedy, entitled "Huikin's Run," were billed as the extra attraction, and won the place canity. It told a pretty little love story between a city "guy ana a country lass, and was plentifully sprinkled with comedy slang stuff slipped: over by the said "city guv." "La Petite Oosse," the pantomime act. showing the life of the "underworlders, went nicely, and showed the two principals to good advantage In their Apache dances. Mae Falllcrs sang and wiggled through a few songs, under the spot light, and claimed the "riot" part of the applause. Mae showed us some pretty classy and "rare" costumes, loo. Morris and Bcasley, a man and a woman, got many laughs out of their clever skit, en- titled "The Manicure Parlor," and "Mellow Melody" and "Susie White" were well sung. Each possesses a good voice, and they slip over their stuff In smooth style. Nlblo and Rellly, a man and a woman, black-faced entertainers, were a real riot "Another Rag," sung by the female of tho team, was cleverly handed over, and scored. The novel dancing of the man made a big hit. The bunch.warmed up to the act and gave them a big hand. The Three Crelghton Sisters, a trio of girlies, who can score big on any "time." ■ang and danced themselves Into Immediate favor. All three sing well, and ono of the girls sure is "there" with the piano accom- paniment. "When You Were Sweet Sixteen and I Was-Twenty-one" was a prettily dressed number and well sung. Each girlie appeared In hoop skirts, and tliey finished with a dance that went better than good. The kid sister "spieled" off a monologue that cniigbt on nicely, and this same youngster holds bcr own ln warbling off the rag melodies. The two larger girls then changed to knee length dresses and' danced some more, closing the act with the young sister ln a lightning clog dance. Fine! James J. Duffy, always a favorite "single," eased over a "crowd" of Jokes, and sang a few songs, each of which hit the spot with- out any "waiting." James enn tell the funny stuff with any of 'em. McNeil and Rollo, man and woman, picked and sawed enough melody out of a banjo and a violin to win them a good place on the bill. The young woman plays the violin with ease and grace, while the male of the team sure can "eat up" that banjo. Howard and Campbell, a man and a woman, opened the show with i trapeze act, but that doesn't mean that the act was an "opener." They accomplished their work cleverly and won a hearty applause. They looked well in white fleshings. Ward and Lnwson, Cliff B.illey Trio, and Cadleux were others who held Inelr own In making the entertainment a lively one. Among the films were: "Her Convict Brother, 7 ' a Knlcm drama; "The Girl With the Lantern,'* a comedy drama ot the Bellg Co.; "AH Is Fair" a Mollos comedy, and "The Red Man's Honor" (Patbc). The bill announced for week commencing Monday, June 10, Included: Texas Tommy Dancers, Rita Gould, McDowell and Rogers, Dr. McDonald, Harry Thompson, Armstrong and Ford, and the Two Cannons. ■ Anrrlrnn Root (Marcus Loew, mgr.)— The bill for June 10-12 has Rita < Gnuld, Harry Thomson, Dr. McDonald, Armstrong and Ford.

Arco BroB., La Ballet Classic, and Herbert and Goldsmith. Yorkwille (Eugene Myers, mgr.)—Vaude- ville and motion pictures. City (Ben Leo, mgr.) tho bill for June 6-8 Included several novelties. Morse and Clark, two good singers, enter- tained voca'ly, one of them flaying fine ac- companiments, "Good Night, Little Girl, Good Might" was a big bit, and they con- cluded with n medley. Wilson and Owens had a set ot scenery showing the deck of a boot, and ln Bailor costumes the woman worked well, with the man ln eccentric hornpipe and other dances. After some funny actions and conversation and a fall overboard, the lady changed her costume rnd returned for a Texas Tommy dance that brought down the house. Kathcrluc Emmett, a buxom lassie In green, with a jolly face, sang " 'Way Down South," "When Yon Are Married." She talked some to the orchestra and to the audience. In "Moonlight Bay" she scored) heavily, and had the audience Joining In the chorus. Rrahnm nnd Callahan, as the Hebrew and the Irishman, had a suitable line of talk. Mr. Callahan sang "I Must Go Home To- night." Ills partner came back with "Becky," and they Jointly sang parodies on "Toreador" and other operatic selections. The Sllfonos, now a duo, are a young lady and a man In natty white uniforms, who manipulate the hammers on tbe xylophones with harmonious results, playing a mixture of operatic numbers, also ragtime and otber popular songs, with drum and firearm effects. Campbell rud Parker have the full stage In a sort of a sketch, with the comedian in a full beard and full dress. He sang "Davy Jones' Locker." The lady helped out ln a conversational way, and they duetted in "When the Right Boy (or Girl) Comes Along." Gus Cobn was n funny Dutchman, and bis monologue about a wedding ceremony, with many funny Bayings, ulso his dancing, was well liked. Armstrong and Ford kept them laughing all of the time with their sldewnlk conversa- tion, along original lines. (See New Acts.) The pictures were well selected. "The Cylinder's Secret" Is a Vltagraph dramatic about a shooting which was fixed on tbe guilty party by a dictating record. "Dream of a Moving Picture Director," showing some of the routine of film making by Lulrtn ; "Max Sets the Fashion," a French comic wedding episode, and "Costumes of Different Periods, on one reel, and 'The High Cost of Living" shows how a daughter saved $1.40 at an ex- pense to her father's business of $ 26,000. i s Colonial (Percy G. Williams, mgr.)— This wcek not only marks the closing of the season at the Colonial, but also the passing of the popular theatre to other management beginning with the opening of the season of 1912-13. There has been no season more profitable ln the history of the theatre than the one just drawing to its close. Tbe cyclonic comedienne, Kva Tanguay, was selected to head the closing bill. The program fairly scintillates with variety ln its best form. Miss Tanguay appeared In a number of gorgeous and bizarre costumcB, and in her own peculiar way gave practically a new repertoire of songs, but Included, of course, "I Don't Care," which Miss Tan- guay rendered ln answer to the demand of the audience. Her opening song was "They Say I'm a Crank," and she sang five songs In all. 8he thanked tho audience at the close ot her act, and' retired witli her arms full of beautiful roses. Jessie Itusley holds the second position In the program billing, but from a ''big type" basis only, as tbe success accorded herself, her company and Rupert Hughes' little play- let, dealing with department store life, en- titled "Miss 318," would fairly entitle Miss Busley to the stellar position of any pro- gram. The occasion was tbe debut of Miss Dueler at this house, and her fine portrayal of I.lssette Mooncy, the "wise" saleslady, won the hearts and the applause ot the en- tire audience. Of her company, Mary Cecil Volght, ns Myrtle Crllley, and N. Hammond, as the floorwalker, were excellent Beautiful flowers were passed over the footlights to MIsb Iinsley at the conclusion of her pretty playlet. . . The "extra features" of this week's bill are ■ Joe Jackson, the comedy bicyclist, and ARliley and Lee, In their "Chinatown" sketch. It Is not so long ago that Joe Jackson made his first bow at a local theatre, ln a bicycle comedy act, which Is all given In perfect pantomime, snd he sprang Into promi- nence nt his first performance. Since then he has appeared very often at the local the- atres, but need never fenr that he will wear out his welcome. Ashley and Lee find their sketch, "China- town," an excellent vehicle for tbe display of their ability In depleting types of metro- politan life which are met every dny. They continue to c'ose with duologue songs which gain for them a number ?f encores. Adonis, the graceful posturer, who carries a beautiful stage setting, and has one of tbe cutest dogs ns an "assistant," is an Impor- tant feature of the closing week. Adonis de- serves commendation as the producer of a picturesque specialty, and one that could well be followed In point of beauty in stage set- ting. Wright and Dietrich carried off the vocal honors of the Mil. Their solos and duets were of a classy order, and tbe audience ap- plauded all their numbers. Conlln, Steele and Carr caused roars of laughter with their comedy efforts, but more musical numbers, Introduced ln a quiet man- ner, would Inprove their act materially. The La Toy Bros, opened the bill with their acrobatic work, and the Onetti Sisters, four finely formed and muscular women, closed the bill in athletic feats.

Temple Krcderlc Arthur Aldrldgo Major General Stanley...George J. McKarlane Kdtvard. , De Wolf Hopper .Mabel Illanclie Dufflehl Kate Alice lirtidy Kilith. Viola Gillette Isabel Louise Bartliul Ruth Josephine Jncoby A very good performance was given by the principals, but the chorus on the opening nlgbt gave evidence of insufficient rehearsals. Arthur Atdridge, as Frederic, was In ex- cellent voice, and acted his character in a very capable manner. Eugene Cowlcs, ta Richard, was well re- ceived, as was Josephine Jacoby, as Ruth. Blanche Dnffleld, looking young nnd charm- ing, sang splendidly. A noticeable quality of Miss Duffield's vocalization was her perfect enunciation. Adding greatly to the absurdity and fun In the opern was De Wolf Hopper, as Edward. In the role of Major General Stanley, Geo. G. MacFarlunc did the best acting ln the Flece. The scenic equipment Is handsome, and« tbe production, tnken as a whole, Is very meritorious. There wns Improvement In the work of tho chorus during the week, which wns evidenced night of 10, when the second week opened. ■ ■ ■ Lyric (Sol. Manhclmcr, mgr.)—James T.

One good reason is sufficient, but when a gooil rcimon Is supplemented by many others, argument Is unueceHtary. A. H. Woods has been asked why he did not name bis now theatre on Forty-second Street, noar llroadway, tbe A. II. Woods Theatre. His answer Invariably is, "Tbe name ot Julian Rltlnge is better, and not only better, but best." - Julian Rltlnge holds a unique position In theatricals. lie la one of the few actors that made money for hla manager the first season he became a dramatic star. Usually it costs a fortune to make a star—not so with liltlnge. 1,'xtra matinees and even morning performances were given to accom- modate tho throngs eager to see the clever actor. Where Is another single star that can boast of $14,000 for one wcek In Baltimore; ever $14,000 for n week In St. Louis; $1.1,000 for a wcek In Cincinnati: $60,000 for four weeks ln Boston: $112,000 for ten weeks ln Chicago, nnd In Indianapolis, usually a one night stand tor hlg stars, he played n week to nearly $12,000. Can any other star show the same remits? For the season of 1011*12, Just closed, Julian Ultlnge has made a clear profit for Mr. Woeds of $RO,000, Irrespective of Iho fnet that be iscutvcd the largest salary over paid to a dramatic star. Can any other man- ager produce a star who has equaled this record In the same length of time under tho dying thentrlesl conditions that prevailed? If an actor run accomplish so unusual a real his name hits a value far beyond most of his fellows, and It follows that a theatre named after him will start lis career with an omleiilnhle prestige.
