ALLEN SPENCER TENNEY, 1402B'way, N. y! Jack E. Gardner, in "Cone Ton, J " jack Dalton." Ksith's UmON Sq., Satoidat, Mat., Aco. IS. Nothing seems to be ao rare is a genuine novelty In vaudeville, bot In "Curse Ion, Jack I)nlton," Je«u> <*• H»ve» baa proved that there is sooiethlni new under the sun. after all. "Curse Yon, Jack Dalton" baa an orhrtnal Idea iiehlod It, which 1> in Itself a novelty In the theatre these days. For two years Mr. Hares has ncrked on his Idea, nursing It as a devoted mother does a aiek child. Tbe act waa tried oat last week. It consumes •bout siiteen minutes, In one, and la part mono- logue sod part motion picture. Tt(> monologttt Is Jack E. Gardner, the orig- inal portraver of the "Oboeolate Soldier." Be- hind Mr. Gardner Is shown, on the moving picture screen, six Important members of the Tlianhouser Film Co. presenting a four-act tra- vt*tT on the old fashioned lurid melodrama. Mr. Gardner plsya one of the roles, and la tbe only humin player. He speaks tbe lines which suit the movements of the players on the screen, and po realistically la It all done that It compels a.Imlrstlon. Doring the unfolding of the story, Mr Gardner shoots tbe vllllan and that Aimed actor drops to tbe ground. The act gets plenty cf laughs, for tbe author In writing the act in- jected a lot of comedy. There will be no comedy In the offering should Mr. Gardner be a minute late with his dialogue, for It most It the move- ments of tbe player* on tbe screen. When there Is a call for author" Mr. Haves appears on tbe screen, bowing. The act Is a decided success. It wss s costly one to prepare, for the players concerned In Ita preparation received large amounts for their work. Tbe set carries three electricians to work the llrtts on either side of the atage. The picture Is projected on the screen from back stage. Mr Gardner did bis share of tbe work cleverly. He open* the act by reciting a comic poem on tbe troubles of a theatrical manager. Mr. Havex has given vaudeville a novelty, the like of which was never offered before. It waa this same writer of stsge material tbat gave us "The Spook Minstrels." which was a sensations •one years ago, and which is still a good draw- ing card. "Curse Yon, Jack Dalton" Is sure to create talk on any vaudeville program. Gardner la lucky to have secured It. ITelcrv. a Carroll and Hlokey. PmocTOx's 125TB Stbxxt, Acq. 13 "Nut" comedian and a good looking young woman with a bead of "auburn" balr that would mate any brlcktop weep with envy. Tbe man la one of those sort who uses bis personality to grab bis audience from the start. He succeeds—deshdvely—at least at this particu- lar show. After his opening with a song—which la ln- terupted by the girl's "panning him" from an orchestra seat—be "dares" her come atageward snd show something. There la a piano In the set and the girl goes to work on It while he sing* a few "nut" verses. Then business of taking her In the act with him, and while ahe exits to change, tbe man offers a real snappy monologue.. The girl returns, and after a bit more rag- timing on the piano by her, they exchange patter during which she asked htm. if he ever kissed a girl m a quiet spot—Yuss, on a bowling alley —could hear a pin drop. Tbe closing song, "Poor Pauline." a comie line of lyrics and business of watching a "Perils of Pauline" reel of pictures, finishes their offer- ing op strongly. Carroll and Hkkey will pot life Into any bill. Tbe man's "nut" way of working Is away from tbe usual "not" comedian, and the girl, beside* miking good appearance, works well with him. Seventeen minutes, In one. Tod. I Ton Klein and Grace Gibson. Psoctox'b 125TB Stkeit, Aug. 13. Carrying their own velvet drop and plaro player, Von Klein and Grace Gibson are stab- bing hard for the big circuits with their present 'special" aongs and dances. with the girl seated on suit case they open, and alternate In singing tbe verse* to "Thnt I* Wbat I Want to Hear Yon Say," a number that deals with married life before—and after. Mlsa Gibson follows this with "If That'* Your Idea of a Wonderful Time," and la followed by Klein, changed to brown suit, and singing versta to his two Impersonations, making bis change* at the centre of the parted drop, first for female and then to another male rig for "My Clothca Are Cat In the Latest Fashion." His finish, solt shoe dance, gets him tbe applause for all thus taTd work. There scents no reason for the "la foil view" change*. The female Impersonation does not touch on the clever calibre, and Vca Klein doesn't need It. This Is followed by MU* Gibson, changed to a spangled dress, to sing a number, propped op against the piano, while ber partner changes to evening salt, and bis return, for their whirlwind dance finish. Tbe turn 1* poorly arranged. Both nave the ability to make themselves a "well known" double after the bolstering up la completed. The piano man does bla shire nobly. Thirteen min- utes, in two. Tod. a a Martini and Trolae. PlocroaV 123th St.. ACQ. 13. Martini and Ttolse, a "mixed" duo of character linger* and comedy entertainers, scored a pleaalnjf success at this house last half of last week. They work before a special drop, picturing a saloon In -.he Italian district, and both work In realistic Italian garb. Tbe man has a good singing voire and does a clever "wop," while his "sbu-u-t-t up" Caleb lire Is not over done. His partner Is a plump), cood looking girl, snd ber specialties on the piano accordion were roundly oprilanded. Their finale stunt of playing accordion and ffltar behind each other's back, while danclns, a strong finisher to an entertaining turn. Twelve minute*, i 0 one. Tod. s Katherine Jamison and Company, iPioctob's 125TB Stbs«t, Auo. 13. Katherine Jamison and another young woman, designated as "4 Go.," vocalize pleasingly to- gether and look well. Their repertoire runs from Grand Opera to pop" medley finish that flnda "All Over Again." Oome Back to Carolina." "Sunshine and Roses" snd "Dixie" very suitable to their harmonising. Tbe turn will be successful on the «n>all time. Ten minutes In one. Tod, s ■ ■ Harry Linton. Peootoe's 120TB Stbsst, Abo. IS. Linton la a- "robe" comedian, who would un- doubtedly do well with better material. HI* make-up Is good snd his "rural delivery" weald be brought out to laugh |»lnt* with new staff. Fifteen minutes Ja too long, In on*.
