It al«j Include, several novelties and other material that seemed new to tbe audience tat to-day. Bdille D. Colllna when carried on by Kendal, brought -with hlrn reminl.cenee. of "MoKenne's Flirtation" and "A. Hot Old Time" In make-up anil comedy, and It goes as good as ever, In- cluding; tbe fsces and falls. Leo Kendal, as Julius Bockbere, held up the German end of tbe fun In his own Myle, which Is always aura ot recognition. Their united effort! forced along the comedy, which waa rather vague In spots, especially the allusion to an Italian being packed luto a trunk, which had not been mentioned before. Etta Joerns Is a dainty prima donns, well tiualtllcd for that title. Her rendition of "Uherle." with Its pretty thrills, as well as ot "burgundy," and tbe duet with Mlu Mlrflehl, skewed the highest vocal proficiency. In her light comedy work ahe also excelled. She bid he: shire ot the aforementioned wealth of coitumos. Frankle Bice, In an Italian role, leaned toward the light side, although It required her to becoiiK serious at times. In the main she clung to the dialect. For the "Tcniici mo" number she looke>l well In red, leading the girls, In full tlgbts and blue bodices. "Tbe Detigosa Strain" wis also well In her lino. Several ways of singing "On an Ialan<t with You" allowed for Imitation*. Modgo Dsrrell. well known for her heavyweight character, played the tritky German girl In true spirit, and was a good part ot the fun In her scene* with Collins and Kendal. Kdlth MUfleM had n light part, bat was useful In a rocal way, Iter de«(> contralto Oiling In well In her number, "Try It Over Again," with Mr. Moore. In a duet with Ulsa Joerns, alio In bur specialty, in which she M.ug "Song ot the Sen," sud then "While the niver of Love Kiowa rjn" through a megaphone. Fr.uk Hunter played an excitable Italian In tbe first act, and tie negro porter, with good business blta, while assigning the varkma guests to their rooms In the hotel scene. He jilarcd the spirit end of tbe telephone, and doubled with Florence Davenport In Oroony Melody," wlileh aerved for several encores. Mia* Davenport iilso ■bowed In tight* for the "Ahadsbadah" sklrinl:'', with tbe glrla In white, cutting tap like the monk. they sang about, for several encores. Bob Algiers played the straight In bl* usual capable and painstaking manner, correct aa to dress and deportment. lie also acted aa hotel Clerk. Don Trent had the Juvenile role for several acenos. and Ullllc Moore contributed a likely character of an Englishman, showing up well In a dancing and singing way In the "I/undon Town" number, assisted by ten dandy Unking girls In hoys suits, doing a neat series of soft shoe steps, that made them coine back repeatedly. A story contest by the principals, aa to heroic deeds, was topped wltb a big lsugh by Mr. On]- 11ns, at the conclusion of a tale that was pathetic until the llulBli. The twenty girls showed elate and vim all through the numbers. A clubbing scene by four policemen; a hit with a doc, and a mixture ot the hotel guests by bav- six room* nutntieretl 9, also visits to the bnth- room were comedy bits. Mr. Hunter ana Miss Davenport showed a ipe- elully. In which they "tinted a little argument with the leader, and Mr. Hunter fliilsbed aa a wench, with n double body nnd Itead. "I'm a Ladle*' Man," by Mr. Algiers; "The Italian Tango," ley Mis* Itlce and Mr. Hunter, and "Murphy," by Mr. OoIUeb, were also successful numbers. The chorus Included: Anna McOraw, Adelaide.

Tbe regular season waa started here at the matinee, Aug. 01, and the Initial performance given by the Taxi Glrla, featuring Joe Buckley and Ida Bay ton, waa attended by a capacity sudlence. The show la Up top In each department, nothing in the way ot scenery, costumes or num- bers hsrlng been omitted. Tbe book, by Joe Buckley, baa been well handled, although It carries very little story, but held strict attention. The musical numbers and ensembles arranged by Dan Dody, shows a master hsnd, and again brings thl* capable young man to tbe front. Tbo piece ia In two acta, ana la called "A H— of a Time," and gives principals and chorus many op- portunities. The chorus has been well drilled, and appears to have hod ample rehearsals. A finer bunch of f;lrls would bo hard to duplicate. Each one works occssaottr, and It seem* as though the manage- ment has offered a prise for tbe hardest worker, as all work wltb snap and ginger throughout. Of tbe principals. Lynn Cantor, with a bounti- ful soprano voice, stood out prominently. She waa allotted four songs and In each one she ex- celled. "When You Play In the Game of Lore," In which she wss assisted by Jsek Howard, the audience would not let her go off. Tbe song made tho biggest kind of I hit. Joe Buckley, that natural little Irishman, had a part (hit Just suited hla talent*. Joe got everything possible out of Ms character, and had everybody laughing at hla humor. Ida Bayou, cbannlug and shapely, held the attention of the fiont rows particularly. Ida sang "Oniony Melody" to several encores, well amplified by tho work of the chorus. Jack Howard, as a country errand boy, be- sides lending sld la the comedy line, supplied enough melody to bring the company up to the high censorship mark. Jack, with Lynn Cantor, rendered tbe bit of the performance, and If the Culuuitilii Amusement Company were offering a bonus fo.- the best singer Jack would come very near to copping It. Una Clmdwlck, who waa promoted from the choTus nils season, ban a bright future before ber. Kim la brlitbt and full of ginger, and gives much life to the whole performance. Mirk Wooley, whom wo all know as a very eapablo German comedian, came In with high honors. ' Mark la ao funny that even Fred Wald- inann was seen to lsugh, Ohaa, Wesson and Billy Harris, both working Hvalgbt. had little to com- plain at tbe reception accorded them. Roth boya took care of their characters In One ►hope, end also gave good support In the musical line. The principal numbera Included: "In tbe Town Where I Was Born," "When Its Nighttime In Burgundy," "When I Come Back." "They Start the Vlctrola," "At tbe Ball." "Celebration Day In Tennessee" and "Sugar Babe." Specialties were Introduced during the second act by several of tho principal*. Lynu Cantor again made good to a singing specialty, offering three songs, with tremendous success Ida Bayton, In violin solos, with seven! changes of costumes, had everything her own way, and fell little short of cleaning up. Tbe surprise ot the performance was given by Princess Doveer, who presented s snake dance that brought her rounds of approval from tbe crowd. The young woman ctn twist her anna and body In all kinds of "sernentlne" shapes, and also demonstrates that she is there as a dancer of tbe first water. Altogether the Ttxl Glrla are a show that will be a bard one to best, snd will set a standard for this house the present season.

Owing to the rigid censorship of photo, graphs purtnlnlng to Europe's war zone It li not probable that any motion pictures of military or naval action will b e shown in tlil« country until the war has ceased, and perhaps, not then. Burton Holmes, Amer- ica's greatest globe trotter and foremost travel lecturer,, bad fortunately devoted much of the thne of hla foreign travel ol the last two years throughout that part of Bnrope pow Involved In war. As usual, Mr Holmes returned to this country with severii miles of motion pictures that no other plio. tographer had the facilities or the pertain to secure. They Include Intimate portrait Btttdles of tbe crowned heads, their ministers or cabinets, their families and their pulacen. There are thousands of the best pliotograplij covering the now vitally interesting points of Russia, Austria and Germany, ana ut the fighting forces of these countries on land, oo sen and in the air. Louis Francis Brown, Mr. Holmes' mnna- ?cr, has had these remarkable exclusive mo- ion pictures assembled Into a series under the caption of "War o' Time Europe," which will be given Its first presentation, outside of Majestic Theatre, in Chicago, at the Har- lem Opera House, beginning Sept. 3. From these wonderful and timely pictures the the- atregoers will have an opportunity to study the personality of the Imperial monnrrhs now involved in the world's greatest war, nnd Manager Harry Swift's patrons will un- doubtedly "eat them up." Ijivino Hart, assistant treasurer of the H. 0. II., makes the fourth of this house's Muff that Cupid has seriously wounded within the past six or eight months. Mr. Hart will be married to Mabel Fisher some time next January, and Mr. and Mrs. Chnrlei Workman (Charlie Is treasurer and one of tho others on Cupid's lint) will stand up for them—not that they need any support, but Jui't for the sake of keeping toe harmony of their work In the box office of Manager "Chub" Swift's house. Manager Swift was continuing on Mon- day, 31, the phenomenal business that struck this house a full broadside last Saturday, when he bad em standing six deep on every floor. The houso wob sold out at three o'clock Monday. He claims to have played to 7,481 people from Saturday's first show to the second show on -Sunday—which seems to set a record for Harlem's three-a-day house*. What say?

An extract from an Altoona (Pa.) dnlly during the act's recent engagement at the Orpheum there reads: "Another number that is worthy of more than passing attention Is that offered by Nick Hufford and the Lockhart Sisters. Their Idea Is particularly bright nnd abso- lutely new. The stunt abounds In the hu- morous, contains plenty of the tuneful, nnd serves to keep everybody Interested during the entire time of Its stay In tho limelight. Jimmy In Waiting;.
