Chris Richards, billed as "The Eccentric English Chap." certainly proved that he was aptly captioned. He does not appear to have any set act. but is on the stage for the sole purpose of making the audience laugh, and he does it. He is the most amusing of eccentric dancers and appears to be able to do any- thing he will with his elongated lega Tou want to see this fellow from "across the pond." Outside of Walter C. Kelly, he got the biggest ap- plause of last night. LOS ANGELES "RECORD" Jan. 21, 1913. UBPHRUM. It's a far cry from Constance Crawley, famous Shakespearean actress, to Chris Richards, an India rubber comedian of the English type, who does nothing but act fool- ish In a side-splitting way. But these two—artists in their own line —are the headline™ on a mighty good bill this week. Miss Crawley appears in an Oscar Wilde tragedy, and Is ably assisted by Arthur Maude. Chris, who got most of the laughs of the evening, practically ties his agile limbs In knots and is a genuine "scream." f> COMEDIAN WALTER C. KELLY CRAWLEY OAKLAND "ENQUIRER," DEC. SO. 1911. ENGLISH PERFORMERS DIVIDE HONORS AT THE ORPHEUM An English comedian and an English comedienne divide the honors at the Orpheum theatre this week. And when you say that Chris Richards Is dividing honors with Ada Reeve you axe com- plimenting the eccentric person in no doubtful terms. Furthermore to say that any two are dividing the honors la the bill this week is to praise both In an unstinted manner. Chris Richards has been brought from England for the circuit, and proves one of those "finds" rarer than the roses in the Artie. With spologies we pause to remark that he's the gentleman who put the "trick" In "eccentric." Richards Is a splendid Juggler, a nimble dancer, a rapid bone-twister, an excusable olown and somewhat of a singer. If vaudeville producers have a better eccentric than he, they're keeping him dark. And who ever heard of a theatrical man hiding other people's ability. Communications Care He B. MAR IN EL LI PUTNAM BUILDING, NEW YORK
