Here's n colored . combo that should make Its mark on the ros- trum, and on the air In like pro- portions, because, if nothing else, it's diflEerent ao.ifar as colored bands are concerned.^ It doesn't aspire to the 'Whitemanisms ot an ^Ellington, or the hl-de-h"o of a .Cialldway; but, instead, It modestly confinefs itself to, the. pHme business in hand-— that of pleasant , eiitertfvinnient. iia a stage attraction. Its. musiotil vir- tuosity, for microphonic purposed becomes evidenced froni the stage chores. Sotith, at the helm' of this eight- man combo, is .really the band. Tet it wouldn't quite ' do to advise throwing the' support away arid go It. alone as A colored violin vir- tuoso. For one thlng^ he's not quite expert enough for concert platform vlrtubsity,. and, the varieties being- what they are these days, he couldn't, wisely essay one of those colored Duel de Kerekparto acts. But a proficient violinist he Is. He's somewhat banally billed as 'the dark angel of the violin.' He might protest that distorted at- tempt at flossiness. At the helm his. expert little troupe, he manifests showmanship from the barrier; to the degree he twice tied it up at the. Sunday night frolic at the Palace.' He chooses his songs cannlly and,. even when he- essays a Joe Venuti type of hoitcha fiddling, he does It with a reason- ably famillair air, 'After You're Gone,' so that when he plays' around with the melody in the. ac- cepted futuristic standards of to- day, the customers eut front get the Idea. As a general thing all essay too muslpianly. Intricacies, at the. expense of the listener. South elects all; his airs with an'' ear to the melodic and the popularly appealing. He inlxiBs up. 'Cocktails For Two' with Mexican rumbas and Spanish foxtrots, .and makes his modest little octet say uncle. . The band lis bullish on strings and has only one brass. No sax, the reed belnigr a rhythmic clarinet. *here Is also some .ensejM'ble vocalizing' by a sextet. South has beeii in Vienna,'mak- ing casual but Impressive mention of tills In line with a- Viennese waltz motif,. 'Pardon Mademoiselle/which reglster<?d. He's also been . In a Chi nltery. He mentions the Palace as his flvst ;New • fork date, but. played a liarlem theatre recently. BEAUVELL AND TOVA (4) Dancing 14 Mins^ . Special in Full Orpheuni,. New Yprk As a team Beauvell and Tova rate as anything but new to the picture houses and night spots In New York. Counted among the places where this sleek pair of ballroom gliders have exhibited themselves are the Roxy, New York; Fox, Brooklyn, and Hollywood "restaurant, Broad- way. But as part of a four-people combination the Beauvell and Tova unveiling is recent. ;. To the act as unlimbered at the Orpheum the pair contributed three numbers, the first a slow-motion routine . of ultra smoothness and grace, the second, a spirited and eye-fetching Interpretation of the carioca, and the finale, an exotic rhythmic design based on a court- ship theme and climaxed with a whirlwind pirouette. Finished, at- tention compelling Is everythiner they have to offer. Both the turn and the duo's persons bespeak class. To give them a breathing spell just prior to the finale number the dance duo have Interpolated Into the- act a lass whose forte is a pleasant little voice of the silver-belllsh' genre. Though no great shakes of endowing-the balljids she undertakes with style and emotional meaning makes the interlude an easy one on the ear. Fourth member of the troupe Is the accompanists In keeping with the class. level of the turn .'he's togged out in format .evening wear. Act's stage dressing Is limited to a black, cyke and a white^lacguered platform. . . 0<f€C.. Joan LaMarr Fanner Seeks Divorce Seattle, May 28.

PALM BEACH BEVELS ^5) With Grace DuFaye, Eddie Stuart and Dot, Dona and Teddy; Dancing 16 Mine.; One, .full (special) Orpheum, N. y. This Is one flash that merits the best of the available vaude time if only on the talent of Grace Dufaye, a superior contortionist to rhythm. Her two routines in this vehicle stopped the proceedings on both oc- casions during the show caught and, to say the least, she deserved the receptions. Rest of the act is also dancing, =lncluding-i-a'=glrli^tr-lo^inx=sttalght_i hqofery, and Eddie Stuart's fine tapology on a prop .baby grand. They're also applause winners* but not as big as Miss jDuFaye. How this fihowmanly contortion- ist has escaped from , being cata-i paultcd into the 'name' cla.ss Is hard to understand. Certainly that acrO. tap and control contortion stuff quallfles her for class 'A.' Flash is nicely mounted and dressed and was the closer here.
