(RAR8T A. BAILEY, MOB.) To this popular vaudeville house belongs) the distinction of baring the only novelty of the week—the debut In vaudeville of William I'aversham. Not only wss the bouse crowd- ed on Monday afternoon. March 0, but all of the dramatic critics were on hand to ace tho popular actor. For further mention of his appearance sec New Acts. The Three Renards, In their aerial teeth act, opened the program, and their work beld the attention of the audience. The applause it-Mowed upon them was honestly deserved. Bryan Lee and Mary Cranston contributed a pleasing act. Mr. Lee bills himself as the Cbauncey Olcott of vaudeville, and In voice and mannerisms be reminds us of that star. He sang some of Mr. Olcott's songs in charm- ing style. Miss Cranston Is also a good per- former, although not gifted as a singer. Near the close of the act she lets down her hair, which Is exceedingly long and beauti- ful. She is a blonde. A big hit was scored by Edgar Allan Woolf's playlet, "The Little Mother," which bears a slight resemblanco to Jules Eekert Goodman's drama, "Mother." It is one of the best sketcjea that Mr. Woolf has written and has no difficulty In "getting over,' for the story that it tells goes straight to the heart. Louise Galloway, who is featured, gives a splendid performance as the mother, and Doris Hsrdy. as the cabaret singer, makes her role stand out prominently. (Miss) Jean Ueece, as a maid, furnished the comedy end of the piece in a very clever manner. Join A. Butler, as the wayward son, has greatly improved his performance since we saw the playlet last Chris Rlcharda, the eccentric comedian •cored heavily. He is a good dancer, and his 'lint'* staff pleased the house Innnensely. The Sir Kirksmlth Sisters charmed the music lovers In the audience with their re- fined act. All of the ladle* are pretty and are skilled musicians. Their act is one of tbe best of its kind seen on the big time circuit LAURETTE TAYLOR, IN THREE PLAYS. Cort (Wm. . P.

It was tie intention of the management to add John Corbln's play. "Tho Forbidden Guests," but the length of the Manners' play* lets prevented this. "Just As Well," programmed as a "twen- tieth century romance^' was the first pity acted It proved to be a delightful comedy, pearance here.

"The Love 8pe<:lnllet" was a sketch In which a wife, who feels herself neglected, en- lists the services of a professional love re- viver, who succeeds in winning back the hus- band's attention to its proper and lawful object. Eugene Emmett tenored In "On the Banks of the Brandywlne" with good effect, also with 'IShe's Dancing Her neart Away," and followed up his advantage by "Molly O," '(Roll On, Silver Moon," nnd "Norah 11c- Namsrs." The Thrco Brandt Brothers offered a ring act, showing great proficiency in athletics on a set of apparatus which provided some novel features especially adapted to their line of work. Plenty of teeth grips, includ- ing work by one of tne trio with the guy line supporting the poles and ladders on which the others worked. A triple teeth whirl was a hummer. Each one of toe surprising tricks, in fact, the entire act, gained hearty ap- plause. "A Good Little Devil" In many parts made wo tbe big part of the entertainment, and the clever work of Mary Plckford and her assistants was splendidly reproduced by the Famous Players' film. JftH.

Found business somewhat slow here Fri- day evening, March 0. hut "on tbe whole" n real entertaining program paB on hand, which, by the way, made tbe final program of tho seven acts policy, for beginning Mon- day 0. Manager McCune Introduced tho change to sir vaudeville acts and a noticeably strengthened array of photoplay features. The House Is as comfortablo and tidy as of yore, and tho shows deserve a repetition of the business that ira* oeforo the heavy snows came upon us. Jeter and Rogers, the comedy roller skat- , ers, opened the bill. Tbe straight man's work is good, but that continual showing up of the lingerie things by the fallB of tho comedian Is not clnssea as comical. He should dig up some different business. Wheat and Alwln. black face enmedinns and dancers, are a bit above many other sets like 'em seen on tho "pop" circuits. Others on the bill to be found more fully reviewed under our New Acts and Reappear- ances, In this Issue, are: Lionel Turin. Alary Gray and company.

Refinement is stamped on everything that they do. Mr. Cross is one of tbe few men In vaudeville who can wear a dress suit and look com- fortable In it .As a dancer he is away above the average, and Miss Josephine Is not only one of tho cleverest women on the stage, but she is also one of the prettiest She dances with much grace and her singing voice is pleasant to listen to. The BellcclMre Brothers, who have been long absent from the city, were given a warm welcome on their appearance. They are remarkable athletes. They work fast, and everything that they do commands ad- miration. Harry A. Bailey Is now managing the Co- lonial, He is one of tho most popular man- agers In the country. Kelcq/. LOEWS SEVENTH AVENUE. ("JAKB" irjBIX, VOX.) Thursday evening, March 5, was rsw and blowy outdoors, but Jake Lubln's "first night" regulars would have braved another one of those snowstorms before they'd have r>Issed the mid-week change of bill, aad so Web- ster's capacity was already In type for this review. There was no room to put your coat and hat any place but on tbe floor, aad we barely had time to bang them there when Charles Ulbbs, tbe nut sort of impersonator of animals and musical sounds, opened tbe show. Globs still bangs on to "dead" to finish off most of his Imitations, including bumble bee, bobolink, chicken, automobile, dog, donkey, phonograph, etc., and closes with a whistling number. The way he works helps greatly, but It's a repertoire of the "same old thing." A young woman sang tbe illustrated song, "Good Ship Mary Add/* in a frightened wav, to follow, and tJcn Morris and Bcasley offered a few songs alone and together, ana danced, but their chatter draws your atten- tion from the Idea tbat the title of their act Is "The Manicure Shop." Business at tho table might Bupplant the rough work on the sofa with better results. Miss Morris sings "I'm On My Way to Mandalay," and Mr. Bcasley "I Miss You Most of All/' wlti more class than tbe "action of the turn" warrants, They could make as neat an act of It as they appear. Madam Zenda, after being Introduced by a too oratorical affected young man, offered her "•mind reading" and question answering while blindfolded and seated up stage, while the man worked the orchestra aisles. It was all enjoyed, end do Mndam sprung many laugh answers for relief from the straight work. An extra word for the beau- tiful gown she wore at tbls show. Add Hoyt's Minstrels, seven In all, romped away with as big a share of the applause as anything on the bill—snd every act was Irked, it's the some speedy frolic of min- strelsy, with close on to four dozen laughs, with the singing just as good. Herbert and Dennis, straight and a "two hundred and fifty" pound comedian with a comic slide and a repertoire of facial expressions, were probably the noise of the bill, due to the "two-fifty" feller. The straight man works well, but often gives tbe Impression that he's striving to be Frenchy. Tho Three Donalds, In white fleshings, are without a doubt one of the leading strength trios In tho business. They have a sterling net snd present poses that appear to either bo lnvposslbls for or have escaped other acts somewhat like the wonderful Three Donalds. Tbey finished the bill off big. Pod. s HAMMERSTEIN'S. (WM. HAUMBB8TXIN, MOB.) A bill consisting mostly of singing and dancing acts Is offered this week. It opened wltb Will Carpentlcr, doing a skating act. Mr. Carpentlcr Is a clever skater and does many tricks, but he could strengthen his act if he worked with a girl. J. Francis -Brcnnan followed with illus- trated songB, assisted by a young lady in a box. Plko and Calame do a fair singing and dnnclng act. The Girl in the Muff went big. (See New Acts.) Iloey and Lee sang some good parodies andamsde tbclr usual hit. Joe Kcno and Roale Green were a big lilt, their dancing was exceedingly clever. Elisabeth Murray sang four songs and put them over great. "Ms Cberie" (see New. Acts). Fannie Brlc* cleaned up. Fannie has im- proved wonderfully well la the last few years.
