PRINCESS (Bert Levey, lessee and mgr.; agent, Bert Levey).—Vaudeville. SAVOY (Laurl & Sheehan, mgrs.).—Dark. PRINCESS—Singing predominated at the Princess last week, through two of the regular turns going In for It besides two members of different publishers rendering their latest popular numbers. Barney Hagan, represent- ing Wltmark, opened and with the aid of slides Hang "All the World Will Be Jealous of You" and "Your Country Needs You Now." B robin and Leonard (men) followed, going through a conventional routine of doubles, Inserting a little talk toward the closing probably to break the idea. The boys could easily change their routine to get away from the continuous exiting, with at least one solo, which would undoubtedly .prove more ac- ceptable than the repeating of doubles. Allen and Moore (man and woman) have appear- ance, a good deal in their favor, but are un- able to uphold the early Impression with the present material. They are a likable couple who sing and dance in a pleasing way, bet the singing might be done In a much softer key, for neither possesses a voice worthy of especial mention. Cole and Denahy closed the show and easily walked away with the ap- plause honors. Eddie Magill (Forster) was next, offering a few numbers, "My Rose of Palestine" and "All I Need Is Just a Girl Like You." The Varsity theatre (pictures), Berkeley, was recently acquired by Martin Lange from C. L. Mehrten, the former represented by Samuel Boeder. Phil Frease has returned to the Bert Levey office.
