This uptown theatre has nn excellent clientele, end the management has been giving shows la accordance. The bill the last half waa nicely selected nnd It worked without a hlteli. The pictures were good, and there were sev- eral Keystone comedies. Armstrong and Clark, in one, twentv min- utes. The two eong composers were appre- ciated nnd tbo act went very big. Black luce nun quite funny. The straight man has o good voice and knows how to piny the piano. Very nice thrcc-a-day turn. An en- core and five bows. Alliert Perry and company, sixteen min- utes. In three; bedroom setting. "Tlio Soin- luituoullst" Is a luuuy sketch. The company ft very i;ood. ran Is a clever comedian. Three bows. . 'l rhfl . w,i y ot * Woman," moving picture.

Mules. irviuu Pisco (Rudolf Christians, mgr.) —Die Kinilor ("The Children"), by tho well known Vienna writer, Herman Bulir, waa prcseuted as the latest novelty. Tho play Is called a "comedy," though there U no obvious reason for this as tho plot does not contain a single laugh, nor is It Very pleasant, Why the rather entangled ami complicated relationship botwecu tho various people forming the cast Is thrashed eut at all, nobody can tell, and If the reason for producing the play consisted In the desire to tuako New Yorkers a little better acquainted with so omlueut a writer as Heir Babr, a eomewhat more eujoyublc work of the author might have beou chosen, say "Der Star." All the members of tho cast furnished .splen- did work In their valu effort to humanize the tlgureheudH introduced by the author: this Is especially tho case with Herr Feint and Frl. Eben. The cost: Prof. Igmu Sctin- rltcr, Richard Feist; Anna his daughter, Ai-nnkn Eben: Gandolf Couut Freyn, Helu- rlrh Mnrlow; Conrad, his sou, ltelnhold Kimimerehl; Bnyorleln, Itudolf Christians; Joliuun, valet, Christian Rub.

Barn Swift has sure enough started nomcthbig In an effort to rejuvenate the Fifth Avenue Theatre, and from appearances his, and Prow Agent Irving Urookman'a hustling is not going for nanght Last week <Jan. 11-16) was anniversary week at this house. The Fifth Avenue hag been identified with high class vaudeville for nbont twenty years, and with Its recent acquisition of Harry Swift as general man- ager. It appears as though former patrons are rapidly returning to the fold, and ex- pressing satisfaction with the vaudeville now shown. Manager Swift's slogan Is to give tils pa- trons a "dollar's worth for a quarter," In eight acts of vaudeville and first run pic- tures. Dropping In at the house "more than once" last week, found packed houses on throe different occasions, and there Is no dcubt that house records for at least the pust year or more have been smashed. The "first half of the week's program had eucb famous stars as Jefferson l>e AngriL, assisted by Oeorge Leon Moore and Frank Belcher, In a comedy, "Second Floor Rack;" l.nsky's musics] comedy, "The Summeriand Girls," with Billy Hurst and Maude Kelcey, nnd Captain Louis Moreno's "Deep Sua Divers." Otncra completing a strong bill were the Arlon Four, Wilton Bros, and Dun- ham, Banto and Clark, and Larry Cebsiloa end Mona Desmond. The change of bill on Thursday (14) Waa opened by tho Three Kelso Brothers, la a comedy Juggllag turn, and La Petite Mignoti followed with a neat little hit with her liu- perronallonB nf Eddie Leonard Blaglur "Roll Dew Holy Poly Eyes;" Julia Sanderson, unking a number from "Tho Girl from Uloh,'' and Marie Dressier, flinging; '"Bfoo High," besides closing big with her clever Bernard Granville eccentric danoe. "Sliding" Billy Watson, assisted by Joe itaiiiff and ihapcly Nellie Watson, lived up to his half of tho headline spot to a comedy playlet, with pictures, entitled "lining Into Vaudeville." The skit Is well written around Watson's Dutch comedy end he doesn't overdo Uie "slide peddling." Rat- lin* doubles as an author of vaudeville sketches and a husband, while Nellie Watson Is given opportunity to dlnplay her good iigi'ro in a white knlckcr "once boy" salt, end doubles later as the wife who hires a German to be a burglar In order to om- Vlnce her husband he should remain at home nights. Thcro is a touch of burlesque to the maneuvers In the second scene, the card game, etc., but Watson Is funny enough to carry the turn around the two a days, which he began at the Albambra-tihlR week. Louis Sorcho'B Deep Sea Divers was No. 4 on tb e bill, making a full week stay, with the callopc automobile bellowing outdoors between shows. Lou and Molllo Hunting scored big with their clever, well laid out song, talk b-xI dance offering that la still of "big time" calibre. Will Murphy and DIancho Nichols and com- pany had \'iu laughing qulto eonHnuounly Throughout their now "A Quiet Room"' com- edy sketch. (New Aets.) Burns and Klsscn cleaned up ot this show (Thursday matinee) with their doubles and eolos and mostly good comedy. One blue ono was tossed out before the night show. Tho boys' poor Judgment la using r 'lt" was a sur- prise. Mary Rllcn, after dragging a wagon from the subway excavation, and imukine Twcnly- elplith's Street's car service possible ngnm, after tho "street parade," closed the show, and camo up close to 11. and K. as a bit. Ono of tho most intelligent, best .trained animals of tho elephant species that vaudeville has ever had Is Mary. 1)111 for Jan. 18-20 includes: Tho Great relbnm, "A Dream of the Orient," Wilson and Laracn, Os-Ko-Mon, Tom Nswn and com- pans. Mason and Moron, and Dolmore and Leo. Tod, CITY. A well balanced program was presented hero last week and on Saturday a turnaway business was recorded nt each performance The Village Cabaret, an act that has been playing several weeks on the big time re- cently, was ono of tho he.idllhers, and walked away with ono of tho mughJng hits. The idea Is rather old, and but for tho clever wcrk of tho different members, would luivo had a hard tlmo of It. Grigorc and Kllmlnn, a man and woman, in fenls of strength, proved ono of tho great- est tenms In the way of a novelty tnat Jaae ever apnea red here. The jonn docs nil his weight lifting from his forehead, aod does seemingly Impossible feats. Ills best Is lift- ing a largo Bofn, carrying It on his fore- head and going up a fourteen foot ladder on one side and coming down on the other. Tho young woman appears In black tights, and else docs some remarkably good work. Marathon Comedy Four, with somo good, wholesome comedy and several good soupi, e-.eaned un. Tho net went over big: In fact. «iis the hit of it lie program. "Mississippi Cabaret" and "Tulip and Hose*' were their best numbers. Anderson and Bvcns, offering a clover skete't that could bo entitled "Looking for Work." were a huco success. Tho sketch Is clever, tho idea well handled and artistically f lnyeit by botn men. Willie Smith, doing a single flinging tu'R, showed thnt ho possessed talent In proving how to put over a song properly. He dances well also, and made the bunch sit up and tnke notice with many fancy slops. Allmnn nnd Stone, In a singing and phino act. had nn leasnn for complaint over the reception given them. Tho boy at tho piano ran surely piny some, while tho other, lo a high tenor vnlrc, rendered several songs, fea- turing "Mother Mnchree," that netted btm several hows. The Morlii Slaters, with a well o-stumed nnd perfect!/ arranged dancing sneclnlty, rittortninod with their own creations of the modern dunce. Splendid motion pictures wero also shown. Jack.

Abe Attell Js special headline with tho "From Coaey Island to tbe North Pole" offer- ing as the "big" act Abe looks well in a dress suit and, though many of his stories are e bit on the old type, be tells them to •stlirfnetory results. Two recitations finish up Ms act. Flee chorus girls, who make bat one change; a team to lead numbers and two Ger- man comedians make op the cast of "Coney Island to North Pole." The team do well with their eolos and doubles, and the twu comedians get a whole lot of fun from busi- ness In un aeroplane, aad later la a battered attteimobllc-liko "prop." The Ave girls have It easy, really working in but one number, (or which knee length military coat-like cos- tumes of blue, over full fleshings, show them to advantage.

Billy and Slits Kloof (Now Act) opened tho ehow with a musical novelty. Leonard and l.ouls, now fairing a song and getting a notice to "stopsinging," as a start, in dresa suits, were one of the successes of this show after they got to their clever hand to hand balancing stunts.
