Ernest Wllllnum and Katucrlno Rankin, "Tile Yankee Doodlo Duo" of cornetlsts, are reported at having been eight "weeks of "riot" at the Tlvoll Theatre, Syduoy. Aus- tralia, and after finishing there, Jan, 0, will continue on Rickards' circuit to Perth, and thenco to Bombay, taking In Alexandria and Calcutta, where they are booked for sis weeks. A visit to the Holy Land will follow, after which Ernest mil Katliorlne will go to London, opening on the Moss time in May. Their tour so far has been a humdinger for fun and favor. That Thnnliou.er Kid. IdtUe Marie Kline, popularly known In the picture world as "Tlio Tlianhousor Kid." will soon have another surprise tor nor friends and admirers in tho form of a now and novel ' vaudeville offering, 'which James Madison Is busy preparing, ".Babe" vras the first to claim herself the moat photographed child In the world, and it seems It is still undisputed, . even though her title Is changed and she Is row known as "The Mainspring of the Mutual Clock." The new trick will carry n special drop and will he introduced by a reel ■ or plcturea, It will open In or around Now York City In another three or four weeks, Eddie la an Blk. Eddie Jerome, formerly of the HiirUg & ficamon forces, was initiated into the Glens Palls lLodgo of Elks on Feb. fi. and Is having a new set of Blk molars laid In to replace the diamond row, | Selma's Bve Seen. Sclma Walters, besides showing her latest "Hvo and a Man" sketch of fact and fancy at Proctor's Ono Hundred nnd Twenty-fifth Streot Theatre, last half of last week, showed "two othor strong reasons" for It all beuldei Waiter Hawley and William Swnyne, who assist her. Poor H> an and Leo. Have a heart, all ye agents. The best Ben Ryan and Harlcttc Leo could do last week was to play both tho Palace and Alhamhra Thestro twko a day—and be the hit of both bills. And yet they say "four-a-day" Is tuf tut—and It Is, outside of the l»nlac 0 and Alhnm. I.aurn In Bad, Too. Laura Hamilton, ono of the prettiest of the girls with '"The Passing Show of 1012," Is receiving flattering press notices for her clover rendition of tho numbers allotted hor. Reports from Cleveland oro to tho effect that the applause for Laura was the sort "that refuses to be quieted." (Another weep for Laura while we're "crying for Ben and Harlette.") The Same Joke. Jake I.uWo, who has been doln' things in «cat shapo as manager of Loow's Seventh ronuoiTheatro slnccvillnpr'n Eighth Avonuo tuewDurlesque, lsliltfing a million up in tho Harlem Vaudevlllo League, and turning down Federal offers dally. At tho Alamo. Were you up at the Alamo on One Hun- dred and Twenty-fifth Street, near Eighth Avenue, Tuesday night, Feb. ST Yea boys, most every solitary soul of any account in Molody Lane was on hand to celebrate the return of dancing and the Initiating of the "all night" license." To begin with, Irving Dash, "tho 'andaotn blond piano feller," was fingering out every melody that was worth doing, while Jo Jo and Dolsnsy were bubbling over with special numbers, oozed out in tho best Jo Jo nnd Dolaney slyle. "Blondy" Hattle Harlowe warbled "Bunch of Shamrocks," among a doion others, in her own good way, nnd when she wasn't doing that warbling thing she wob tangoing out on that "ocean of dips" floor. Lew Wolfe Gilbert was on hand, and after tipping off ihe mob to "Imagine a wonderful pair of pipes," he eoothed across with one of Ms newest, "She's Dancing Her Heart Away;" l'nui Cunningham came through, with Dave Rose at the baby grand, Kinging "I'm Crying; Just for You" and "I Miss You Most of All/' and it was repeated from Harry Von Tllzor's tahlo by "some sweet voiced gal." Burns and Ktssen leaned In with tbelr comic conversation to equal the wiiv they rendered "1 Don't Want to Be a Soldier Man," and Al. Woblman came away from the "free" ohlcken salad long enough to sing Maurice Abrams' latest, "Push It Along, and after Murray Bloom accompanied a tew numbers on the piano, Jo Jo and Delaaey pranced up for "Camp Meettn' Band," with Irv. Dash showing his personality and nbllltv at the key stuff some more. It was a real wonderful night of nights, and with a "regu- lar'' talent and the Alamo orchestra, the langoltes 'will probably keep on swarming downstairs to trip on that pippin danco floor, which occupies halt of tho place. Souvenirs, {•resented to nil ladles In attendance on the abovo night, were In the form of a "gold" Jewelry case. Harry Still Scouting. Once overod Harry Shea, - "the agent dandy," Florrle Tempest's hubby, looking some good and otherwise turns ovor up Har- lem way last week for possible use In Mi own books. As serious looking as over, but Just as ready to pull a laugh and hand you one in return. Clever Henrietta and Bstelle. Dropped In on Rudolph Binder at Nie- meycr r s Cabaret tho other night and found, besides Oscar Huttel's four pleco orchestra. rendering the music, Henrietta Hanson, thac nifty little soprano, singing "What Would I Do Without You" (j couldn't tell her), and Kstnllu Mason another awoet voiced good looker, with a know how way manner about •Totting "nil" out of her numbore. Two of tho strongest attractions that have warbled tho "pop stun" here la a good whl'e. Lillian for Vaudeville.

A freat slash of business for the "Deans, Bonnf, loaos" song, especially Frank Corbett's Ocean Spring "nance" bit. By the by, Frank's wife blow "to hum" to lioston that morning. Probably that's why he put the "Beans" number over so "swell.'' and also purchased a bull purp—to care for him during wlfey's absence. Jack Sturgls finished his contract here Saturday night, and moved his trunk over to the noxt block into the Alamo. Frank Campbell also ceased drawing his "shekels" here, same dark night, and Is doing the fall dress singing thing down at the Campus, at Columbus Avenue and One Hun- dred and Fourth Streot. Esther Ray, formerly of the Globe Theatre, In Boston, Is a new face hero, and the way lOsther Is being liked by the folk at the tables, way she won't get homesick for Bos- ton soon. Miss Marcelle, May Vincent and the trio, Corbett, Shoppard and Donovan, complete the "regulars," while Ahe Frankle Is Just equal to any old Ivory pusher at tho piano. A New Trio. There's a new three-act going to pull up and cause some balk around this yere town in another fortnight or so.
