St. James and players, In the comedy playlet, "A Chip of the Old Block," which was presented by ThomiB Wise at the Talace last season.

Olive Briscoe, an effervescent comedienne, was a newcomer. She his an attractive per- sonality and displays much skill In singing some of her songs. Her voice picks up the audience. She also Indulges In patter and Impersonations. An attractive costume act, "The Dance Dream," proved a novelty. It depends a great deal upon three or four pretty young women out of a possible half dozen. Sitting In a red light before a black curtain, Colt Albertson dreams and sings of a frame, dressed In the fashions of different rerlods, and do a little dancing with him. f the dancing were better the act would be improved.

It Is original, aggressive, Im- part ini, reliable, and above all, IT HAS A CERTAIN ORIGINALITY AND DISTINC- TIVENESS WHICH PLACES IT IN A CLASS BY ITSELF. German songs and patter, mest of which was very old. The principal novelty on tbe bill was "The Call of Paris," a sketch written and acted by Virginia Harned. Looking very much like tbe Bernhardt of two de- cades ago, Miss Harned emerges In ber little comedy to act pleasantly, if not Importantly. Her playlet is one of those what Is sauce for the gander Is sauce for the goose affairs, In which a wife understates to win back the husband who become a careless partaker of tbe delights of Paris. ' Handsomely cos- tumed. Miss Harned looks very well Indeed, and her conduct Is that of an experienced actress. She has in her support Charles White, Jane Gordon, Curt Karpe.

His burlesque duet, using popular song titles, and his impersonation of both the male and female singer. Is decidedly the best thing he does. Bert Leslie came back with his familiar sketch, "Hogan, the Paint- er," and put over his exaggerated slang lines with his usual success. His company this season contains Patricia Baker, Gordon Walton and Frederic Trowbridge. George Carson and Jake Wlllard offered their twist- ed conversation act. entitled "The Dutch in China." J. Francis Dooley and dainty little Corrlnc Sayles followed the big act and mado good la a hard spot Miss Sayles rather overdoes the laughing business, but she is a big help to the act and wears a variety of stunning costumes very becomingly. The Harvey Family, four wire walkers, closed the show and held the audience until the finish mainly by the work and appearance of the tall blonde lady member of the family.

The Inst half had Thos. 8cabrookc, who drew well and pleased tho older mem- bers of the audiences. His songs arc not exactly suited to a neighborhood house.
