VARIETY *3 One Big Hit at Hammersteln's Hold over for a second week LEX EDW. WINIFRED NEAL JOLLY, WILD AND CO. We must have made good EXT WEEK (Nov. 28), KEITH'S, BOSTON WARNING These Two Songs are RESTRICTED and PROTECTED "KEEP IT UP" A Salvation Army Song "I Thought It Was What I Thought It Was, but It Wasn't What I Thought It Was at All" A Real Comic Number Friends, please notify me of any act using either of the above, and oblige. Will Dillon, Care William Morris* Office. NEW YORK on Milwaukee Avenue, especially. that section iu which the Star Is located. Mayme Rem- ington and her quartet of "Picks" were easily the hit of the bill with the Imperial Quartet a close second. Had the quartet appeared in a more suitable spot than second they would have probably qarrled off the honors, for the Westslders like quartets, especially of the Imperial brand. The comedian could afford to trade his first "gag" for something new, but, on the whole, this routine Is well in keeping with the balance of the offering- The boys were forced to go the limit. And as for Miss Remington, it is doubtful if she ever had a better "Pick" act than the one at present. The "Picks" are as well trained to their work as one could expect, and with Miss Reming- ton's personality the turn Jumps to the front line of "Pick acts," where it will have to be tied before beaten. Another act receiving more than the usual amount of applause was the Gardner Family. A well-dressed singing and dancing novelty, with a few original ideas, practically guarantees success for this quartet Gordon and Warren presented a comedy sketch, well written around an old idea. The team scored safely after a fruit- less attempt to make the Westslders laugh at good, legitimate comedy when rough-house tactics were In demand. Fielding and Carlos opened with a neatly dressed roller-skating turn, which found favor. Burke's Doga closed, amusing those of the children who were not making a frantic endeavor to harmonize on native melodies. WYNN. "The Girl in the Train," with Frank Dan- iels, Alice Fisher and Vera Michelens prom- inent, entered upon an expected run at the Studebaker last Monday night. "Our Miss Gibbs," the Colonial; "Lower Berth 13," at the Whitney; '"The Sweetest Girl In Paris." at the La Salle, and "The Chocolate Soldier," at the Garrick, are continued plays with music accompanying. In the last named show Alice York succeeded to the prima donna role last Sunday night Ward and Vokes, In "The Troube Makers," with Lucy Daly their chief support play the Haymarket this week. Harry Fields Is at Weber's with "The Shoemaker." "Cherub Devlne," the comedy which Dqug- las Fairbanks experimented with at the Grand last spring, is the basis of "The Boy from Wall Street," which Harry Clay Blaney, supported by Kitty Wolf, Is showing at the Globe this week, Robert Mantell, at the Lyric, will be follow- ed by Maxine Elliott next Monday, and at the same time Guy Bates Post will appear at McVlcker'a In "The Nigger," taking the place of " 'Way Down Bast," which has been the Thanksgiving attraction at that theatre ever since the play was produced. "Get Rich Quick Walllngford" comes to the Olympic shortly to begin where "The Aviator" leaves off. Ethel Whiteside plays her first United date next week at the Temple, Detroit going then to Rochester with a route depending upon her success at the Moore houses. The Alrona-Zoeller Troupe are leaving the "Cherry Blossoms" to begin a tour of the Hod- kins circuit, starting at Joplin, Mo., next Monday. Tom J. Qulgley, Shapiro's Chicago office manager, began suit for divorce In the Windy town courts last week. He charges his wife with habitual drunkenness. They have a daughter eight years old. Julian Eltings follows Otis Skinner, at the Illinois, in "The Fascinating Widow." I tines and Ryan were in the vaudeville bill which opened John and Emma Ray's Jefferson Theatre, St. Augustine, Fla., last week, booked by Rosalie Muckenfuss. There are seals for 1,200 people, ten dressing rooms and a seven- piece orchestra. One combination Is played each week, otherwise vaudeville is personally directed by Johnny Ray. Burnham and Greenwood send special de- livery praise for Polly Moran from Wilming- ton, Del. The girls arrived In time to open . at Dockstader's last week, but their trunks were side-tracked. Polly came to the rescue, and, regardless of the fact that Miss Green- wood Is svelt and Miss Burnham is not. Polly's dresses fitted them so well they received spe- cial mention from the local newspapers for wardrobe. Lillle Octavla, of Warne and Octavla, hau returned to Australia because of ill health, and Dave Warne Is working alone on the Webster Circuit Charles B. Hodkins left his main office in the Chicago Opera House last Saturday for a two weeks' tour of his Lyric Vaudeville Cir- cuit in the South and Southwest. Archie Onrl's daughter, three months old, died at the Onrl home in this city last Thurs- day. Myles McCarthy has retired as Violet Dale's leading man in "A Message From Reno," and has come to Chicago to produce his sketches hereabouts. FRANKLIN (Earl J.
