Keith's theatre closed Sunday for the aeason of 1917, and Nora Dayes bung up another box oflBce record for a week's business. This is the second time in one season, in fact within one month, that Miss Bayes brolce the theatre attendance record. Her figures were two hun- dred dollars bettw* than the previous engage- ment, or $9,600. The final hippodrome show of the ssaaon was played at the Million-dollar Pier Buaday evening, Sept. 9. Emmet Welch Minstrels will continue for the balance of this week, and if business continues as good as it has been, it is altogether probabl* that ths Welch show will continue for still another week.

Mar- tini will play oomposltinns from his own pen on the occasion of the last Festival Concert. It was Martini's intention of taking a flyer la vaudeville, with six instrumentalists and two soloists, but it is hardlj likely he will follow out this idea, as he prefers to book a tour through the south with his entire orchestra aumberlns 50 men.

L^rsen, mgr.;l agent, U. B. O.).—A bill that panned out surpris- ingly well was easily topped by Walter C Kelly in his "Virginian Judge" classic. Kelly went even better than usual, because of his long absence from Boston. The Novelty Clin- tons opened without many signs of novelty. Edward Marshall, the cbalkuloglnt. put his smooth little act across with finesse. The Misses Lightner and Alexander received gen- erous applause, although the act did not show to advantage for several reasons. Dono- van and Lee received their customary wel- come from that substantial portion of the audience that was Irish and proud to let Donovan know It. Kalmar and Brown in "Nursery Land" repeated their previous hit. Janet Adair, with Miss Adelphi at the piano, put over a neat personality stunt billed as "song recitations." Els and French in their Hallow'een dancing act did not hit the house right and received one of the poorest re- ceptions ever received at this house last Monday evening. "Makers of History" closed. bolding the house surprisingly well for a posing act, the white make-up enabling some of the likenesses of America's greatest men to be so realistic as to be startling. BOSTON (Charles Harris, mgr.; agent, U. B. O.).—^The Goldwyn release, "Polly of the Circus," was the feature of this week's bill. The vaudeville acts comprise "What Happened to Ruth," the Duffln Redcay Troupe, the Texas Comedy Four. Pielot and Sehofleld and the licMarte Brothers. Good. * BIJOU (Ralph Oilman. , mgr.).—Plcturea. Fair. BOWDOIN (Al Somerbeo, mgr.; agent, U. B. O.).—"Enlighten Thy Daughter." exten- sively advertised, drew heavily Monday night The pop bill Includes the Aldlne Brothers, the Tarotsky Duo, Jim Dixon and Will Bradley. ST. JAMES (Joseph Brennan, mgr.; agent, Loew).—The College Quintet went big. Mabel Paige and Co. In "The Lesson" also scored. Other acts the first half Included Cooper and Cox In "Magic Pills," Ward and Pryor and Jewett and Pendleton. CTLOBE (Frank Meagher, mgr.).—The Loew stock company this week tried "The Mislead- ing Lady" with a fair house opening per- formance. Next week "Arizona" will be used with hopes of better business. ORPHEUM (Victor J. Morris, mgr.; agent, Loew).—Snappy bill, headed by the Town- send Wilber Co. in "A Smart Aleck." an ex- ceptionally clever and well presented sketch. The Celli Opera Co. In "Old Madrid" received a big band. The remainder of the bill ln« eluded Port and DeLacey, the Dolce Sisters in "Harmony Land," Frank Ferrin. Rvan and Juliet and Rose and Ellis, billed as the "Two Jumping Jacks." 8C0LLAY OLYMPIA (James J. McOuln- ness, mgr.).—"A Holiday In Dixie" heads this week's bill, which Includes Schepp's Circus. Leila Davis and Co. In "As It Will Be." Holden and Herron, Swars and Clifford, Fields and Holiday and SevlUa and Fife. GORDON'S OLYMPIA (Frank Hookallo. mgr.).—Blllle Burke in the film, The Mys- terious Miss Terry," Is this week's big draw- ing card. The vaudeville comprises Norton and Earle. Tyler and St. Claire. Marie and Billy Hart. McQulre and Barnes and the Aero- plane Girls. PARK (Thomas D. Soriero, mgr.).—Pic- tures, with Ethel Barrymoro In "The Lifted Veil" well advertised. MAJESTIC (E. D. Smith, mgr.).—This Shubert theatre, an excellently situated $2 house, did so well last year under a short lease by Fox that it is going to run along this fall for some little time to come as a Fox picture house at a $1 top.

PARK t Direction, MORRIS-CASEY 137 West Fort St» Detroit 906 Market St, San Francisco SHUBERT (B. D. Smith, mgr.).—"His Lit- tle Widow" closed Saturday, leaving the house dark for a week pending the arrival of Rob- ert Mantell Monday for a two-week engage- ment after away from the city for three years. PLYMOUTH (E. D. Smith, mgr.).—"Old Lady 31." which opened Labor Day. is running along smoothly and making money. WILBUR (B. D. Smith, mgr.).—Seventh week of "Oh Boy" ahowing no let-up in busi- ness, with heavy advance sale. PARK SQUARE (Fred B. Wright, mgr.).— "Good Gracious Annabelle" had its opening at this house nearly a year ago, and from indications its return engagement will be a surprise. It was taken out of Boston a year ago just as It was beginning to find Itself after the first few performances. COLONIAL (Charles J. Rich, mgr.).—Laat week of "Have a Heart." which ^ - been going fair. Ziegfeld's "Follies" opens next Monday night with a whale of an advance sale last Tuesday. HOLLIS (Charles J. Rich, mgr.).—"Here Comes the Bride" starter l strong on its third week. Exceptional cast and first and third acts, which are weak, are being strengthened constancy. TREMONT (John B.
