Another "Shuffle Along," destined to be even more popular. Belmont. — "You and I." H. B. Warner, Lucile Watson and star cast in the Harvard Prize Play. Belasco. — Lenore Ulric in "Kiki," David Belasco's production of his own piquant adaptation of Andre Picard's French farce. Miss Ulric scores one of the big hits of the season with her brilliant playing of a little gamine of the Paris music halls. You will love Kiki as you loved Peg — but differently. A typically excellent Belasco cast. Booth. — The "heaven'' in "The Seventh Heaven" is the top floor of a Montmartre tenement in Paris. It is a story of love and regeneration with touches of humor and unreality. Helen Menken gives an excellent performance. Broadhurst. — 'Whispering Wires." One of the numerous mystery plays now trying to puzzle Broadway. This one succeeds. Casino. — "Wildflower," with Edith Day. The music is exquisite. Central. — The home of Shubert vaudeville during the week. Two concerts are given on Sunday. Century. — In "The Lady in Ermine" we have a musical comedy with a plot that it follows effectively or comes back to after each departure as if it really meant to be something more than vaudeville. The action concerns a romantic legend about an ancient European castle. Wilda Bennett as the heroine sings charmingly. Century Roof. — "The Chauve-Souris" of Nikita Balieff and his Russian entertainers from Moscow. Fourth bill. Better than ever. Cohan. — "The Exile." A romantic comedy by Sidney Toler featuring Eleanor Painter and Jose Ruben. Comedy. — "Anything Might Happen." Delightful comedy with Estelle Winwood and Roland Young. Cort. — Harry Leon Wilson's popular story, "Merton of the Movies," has lost none of its charm and humor in the dramatization. Glenn Hunter and Florence Nash are perfectly cast as the hero and heroine. Earl Carroll. — "The Gingham Girl." A very tuneful, interesting musical comedy with a chorus of eight lively flappers. Helen Ford is the gingham girl, and Eddie Buzzell furnishes the comedy. A triumph of quality over quantity. Eltinge.— "Morphia" is a play that acts as a vehicle for Lowell Sherman to give a realistic portrayal of a drug fiend. Empire. — -"Zander the Great." Alice Brady's return to the stage. Review later.
