Zieofeld (W. K. Zlegfeld. mgr.) Is dark. Majestic (Lyman B. Glover, mgr.)—Wot- lert and Paulan opened the bill at the Ma- jestic, last week, with their novelty acrobatic performance, and started off a lengthy pro- gram of features. Carlton and Kay came next with a neat little act which they called "Just Off Brondwoy." Trovollo, with his full etngc of scenery, mechanical effects, dummies and a lady assistant, offered a vcntrlloqtilal comedy drama, "The Hotel Office." His work is good, and he has a number of surprises that hold interest in the act. Foster and Meeker have really an original opening, and they make the switch from the orchestra to the stage In a manner that deceives many. The big boy that does the eccentric character ■work is an artist, and never steps out of bis part for an instant Their opening is the best part of their act, but they make a bright spot on the bill. Zclda Sears, known here as a clever character actress, offered a neat little comedy, somewhat along .the lines of Rose Stahl's. "Chorus Lady." A back stage scene is shown with the usual types, and an exposure of all the effectB that was possible to crowd into the time. There is a little heart story that is conventional, but gives Miss Sears a chance to show motherly inter- est and-put over aomc good slang philosophy. She makes a change to a child character, and finishes In a short frock and-golden curls, quite a decided and absurd contrast from her natural self. Her act pleases the audi- ence and her. four assistants, Walter Young, Margaret Armstrong, Walter Regan and Ann Rogers, fill their parts very well. Alexander and Scott returned In their familiar black face act. They have new songs, and the one who does the female Impersonation has a wardrobe that would do credit to any grand opera prima donna. They continue to work In one, but by good dressing earn the special privilege of a velvet carpet. "Evcrywlfo," originally Introduced In the Zlegfeld Follies, makes a big vaudeville number, with its cast of twenty people. The clever lines and situa- tions continue to please In aplte of the lack of talent In the present presenting company. James Thornton came on with nls Ilenry Clay make-up, was welcomed by old friends, and put over more laughs than the average monologlst, although somewhat handicapped by his age and lack of singing voice. Kara closed the bill with his usual expert juggling. Rill week of 11: Louise Gunning. Itlllle ReevcB and company. tho Perlera Sextette, Charley Case, Alpine Troupe. Mrs. Louis James and company. Big City Four, Edna Luby. and the Stanleys. Palace Music Hall (Mort H. Singer, mgr.) —The excellent bills now being presented nt the Palace Music Hall arc winning a clientele that is loyal and enthusiastic. Scarcely an empty seat could be found at the opening Monday, Nov. 4, nnd with tho capacity crowds of Election Day, this week was a record breaker In point of attendance for this season. The show opened with, tho Seebacks, using a stage full of punching bags. Harry Secback dors some excellent work In this line, and la assisted by an attractive female partner, who lins an athletic figure if not much ability. Stunrt nnd Keclcy followed with a dnnrlng specialty, with many changes of costumes, nnd worked up n finish that won them ap- pin use. Jean lledlnl nnd Roy Arthur did a romedy juggling net In which plate smashing was the principal feature.

Chandler, White and Sol- Hvan, three Chicago boys, pleased with popu- lar songs. - Wilfred Clarke and company, con- sisting .of Helen Aynalelgh, Edward McGuln- hess and Grace Menken,. offered' Mr. Clarke's familiar farce, "What Will Happen Next?" It la the ginger that Clarke .puts into his work, as well as the absurd situations, and impossible complications, that makes this act go over. Vcnita Gould surprised a number of folks with the cleverness of her Impersona- tions. Her work - ranges from Mme. Nazi- mova, In emotional drama, to Bert Williams, in his pantomime poker game, and her bits of busluess and take-offs on the mannerisms of well known stars are very clever. Lulu Glaser held the star position on the bill, and has a new act, written along conven- tional lines, with several rather attractive musical selections. There were names of enough authors and composers for this twenty-five minute act to nave produced a full evening's entertainment, and none of the work, aside from one song rendered by the star, "First Love," which, is the title of tho sketch, bad any particular merit. Thomas D. Richards and Lester Browne assist this well known operatic star. Miss Glaser Is §etttng quite a big girl now and looked a It overgrown for the part of the maid, which she impersonated at first, but her happy smile and girlish laughter seemed to be as Infectious as ever, and she had so cause to complain on the heartiness of her reception. Stuart Barnes offered his sarcastic monologue on "Love and Matrimony," and scored just as big as ever. His closing song, which he presents deliberately and with care- ful attention to nil lis many telling points, "Gee, I Wish I Wns Single, Is n gem of Its kind, and liarnes eertalnly knows how to put it over. The Four LondonB closed the bill with one of the best casting nets seen here fur a long time, nnd had the honor of hold- ing the restless homegoers better then any closing act this season. Their work Is fast, clean cut-and original. Bill for week of 11: Edna Goodrich and company, Sam Chip and Mary Marble, Carlo Albanl, Emperor and Empress, Carroll and Fields, Charles F. Se- mon, Ward and Weber, and Robert Dc Mont Trio. Academy (T. J. Carmody, mgr.) — Good business wns the rule at this popular West Side house, week of 4. The first half: The Etta Leon Troupe were a real sensation; Fannie Rice pleased with her familiar act; Cameron and O'Connor pleased with their rapid-fire act: Richardson and Bernard amused, and Vanccllo was a novelty. The last half: Dan Ramsey's Harmonists fur- nished a good musical number; Farnum and James worked energetically and pleased; Ermine Whltell presented attractive material, and Strickland's Animals repaid those who waited for the close of the enow. Apollo (R. L. Jacoby, mgr.)—The tabloid musical comedies arc popular at this bouse, The Four Marx Bros., in "Mr. Greene's Re- ception," drew wonderful business in Sep- tember, and Minnie Palmer's "Golden Gate Girls" proved a big card for the four days ending Nov. 10. Both of these shows are under the same management. They played this house on percentage. Casino (M. Scbleslnger, mgr.)—The Van's Minstrels provided three of the five acts for the four days ending Nov. 10. The minstrels firoper closed the show. James Stewart Is nterlocutor. and Dan Robevand James Shan- non have the ends. Mr. Bobey particularly pleased. His imitation of a slide trombone brought down the house. Shannon and Straw opened the show, Manning Sisters were sec- ond, W. J. Dyer and company were third, and Murray K. Hill fourth. The first two arc from the minstrel troupe. Dyer's sketch pleased. Ellis (Walter Johnson, mgr.)—The excel- lent bill furnished week of 4 was patronized by large audiences. Madame Tutle was one of the features the first half. Allen Morton, Lynne and Una, Wesley, Adklns and Shan- non contributed cleverly to the bill. The last half: Robert Wblttler and company more than made good. Mclntyrc and Gray per- formed pleasingly, Norlne Smith won many friends by Shcrburen and Montgomery offered a pleasing diversion. Indiana (Ben Levee, mgr.)—Business was very good week of 4, the crowds on Election Day being beyond the capacity of the theatre. The Ted Snyder Four were one of the hits of the bill the first half of the week; Roberts and Roberts were well liked; Marie Posse sang pleasingly; Ernest Ctrr and company presented a lively number. The last half: Scldom's Venus was a pleasing feature, and deserved a headline .position; Hcrmany'6 novelty proved very entertaining, while West and Charles, and Davis and Allen met with hearty receptions. Julian (J. D. Condcrmnn. mgr.)—(The star feature of the first half of week of 4 was the big time act presented by the Five Co- lumbians. This talented family has pre- sented their musical novrlty act all over the world, and deserve the highest praise. The baby of the family, Mndylln. Is a phenomenal toe dancer: Claire is a plnnlst of marked ability, and the entire family present one of the handsomestly dressed ana scenically mounted acts in vaudeville. Others on thu bill were: The Nellos, jugglers; Chas. Law- rence, gabby trickster, and Martin Sullivan. Plaza (Slgmund Hevnee, ingr.)—An extra strong bill stimulated business week of 4, Joe Tinker, world's famous baseball player and really clever monologlst, was a big favor- ite. The Arizona Trio, a European sensa- tional novelty, pleased. The Empire State Quartette offered an attractive number, full of harmony and hilarity. Snyder nnd Buck- Icy presented n big laughing act, entitled "flints Wants a Drink T' Joe Cook who bills himself as "Jack of All Trades," fur- nished an Interesting fifteen minutes; the New York Boys and Girls offered pleasing songs and entertaining comedy. Joe Tinker remnlncd all week. Willabd (J. O. Bureh, mgr.)—The big hit of the bill week of 4 were Ball and West, who recently closed a most successful en- fngement at tho Majestic, downtown. Foster tail's G. A. It. veteran Is a masterpiece of character comedy work, and with the able assistance of Ford West, In a straight part, they put over one of the best laughing acts of the Reason. Walter C. Pcrcival and com- pany presented his sentimental comedy sketch with good effects. The Bona Mora Arabs put on a whirlwind acrobatic number, while Dlx»n and' Dixon. Hoey and Moznr rounded out a good bill. The last half: Jules Manklns proved entertaining to thu youngsters, Jane Wallace DavlB and com- pany offered a pleasing turn, and Salisbury and Benny, Radcllff and Hall, and Fred Grif- fith made up an Interesting bill. Wilson (M. Llcalzl. mgr.)—BUI for tho first bnlf of week 4, composed of Jules Mani- kins. Jane Wallace Davis and company, Salisbury nnd Benny, Hadcllffe nnd Hall, and Fred Griffin.

This theatre Is one of the best known playhouses In the city. Its reputation for presenting high class attractions has been long established.

The theatre has a seating capacity of 1,405. The staff is composed of Harry J. Ridings; manager; C. W. McDanlel, treasurer; Chester Houston, assistant treasurer; E. Allen Mead, doorman; Frederick W.

"Little Hip" and "Napoleon the Great" are now on the Hodklns Circuit, In the same section of the country. G.

Rosbins, Lee and Hkinie is the slightly changed name of an act that Is now In Chi- cago. I.e Roy Sisters opened on the Hodklns Circuit at Tulsa, Okln., last week. Walton and Brandt returned to Chicago last week, after a tour of the Miller time. Edmvndk and Gaylor, who are down on the Hodklns time, must be scoring a big hit, to Judge from a poster gotten out by Mana- ger C. L. Cnrrell, of the Lyric Theatre, at Fort Smith. Ark, A fine compliment for thlB act'from Manager F. R. Steens, of the Broad- way Theatre, at Muskogee, is featured In the hill.

She plans-re- maining here a few weeks and then opening In New York City. Thei Tetsvwari Japs, now playing tbc Hodklns Circuit, were described ob a "riot" by a manager report sent in to the agency by wire.

Cohan's "The Little Mil- lionaire" will be seen here at the Grand Opera House Nov. 24, with Charles King In the title role. RUMORS OF NEW THEATRES. The prosperity enjoyed by many of the "family* vaudeville theatres continues to at- tract Investors. Among the many rumors of new theatres the following seem to have some semblance of reality. What Is claimed to be one of the largest theatres outside the Loop Is to be erected at once at the Southeast corner of Lawrence and Clifton avenues. The Invest- ors' Theatre Company intend to erect at North Paulina and Elk streets a theatre to cost $30,000. It will have nine hundred seats. A theatre to cost $40,000 la to built on Klmbark Avenue, near Sixty-third Street, and one costing $25,000 is planned for Imme- diate erection on Wentworth Avenue, near Seventy-third Street. Three small houses, to rost $12,000 each, are to be built at once on State Street, near Fifty-first; at Fourteenth Street and Forty-ninth Court, and at 1128 South Francisco Avenue. Three new houses are being built or are planned for the Sen- wood district. * Lillian Steele, daughter of E. W. Steele, business manager of the Colonial Theatre, made her debut into vaudeville at the Em- press, week 4. Miss Steele received her mu- sical education at the Chicago Musical Col- lege. She has a rich soprano voice, person/- allty and a fine stage presence. With these three essentials it Is a foregone conclusion that Miss Steele wUl "make good." Daniel Frohman, managing director of the Prominent Players' Motion Picture Co., announces that he has engaged Mrs. Flake to appear In a moving picture production of "Becky Sharpe." Also that Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe will probably be seen in film representations of ''Romeo and Juliet." and Viola Allen in one of "The Christian.' Mrs. Fiskb. in "The High Road," will play New Tdrk Immediately after her Chi- cago engagement, which ends Nov. 17. James K. Hackett, suddenlv and with considerable secrecy, has changed.his plans In' regard to "Taking Things Easy," which opened Sunday night. 10, at the Illinois. Cyril Scott is playing the principal role In- stead of Mr. Hackett, who will proceed on his tonr In "The Grain of Dust.'' the pros- perity of which, It Is explained, persuades him not to discard It at this time. The old time minstrel parade Is once more a feature in Chicago's city streets these days. By special permission of the city officials, Primrose & Dockstadcr give their pa.'ade every morning, headed by .the usual brass band. Besides, there i the minstrel bond concert In front of the American Music Hall, at every performance during the engagement there. Acting manager Earl Burgess deserves great credit for the success of the present en- gagement. Through the clever publicity methods and shrewd advance work accom- plished by Mr. Burgess, Chicago playgoers certainly have been made aware of the fact that the American Music Hall Is on the map and the Primrose & DockBtader Mlnstrele are playing there. The business has been very- pood from the start, and Is increasing every night. Ltrio, Palace, Bobb, Boial, Scenic, Biieh. .v, Vaudette, moving picture house., are •towtoita good business. • "> Peoria, IIL —Majestic (Henry B»ndmcj M Jr., mgr.)
