CHICAGO Jos and Verm Everett will leave shortly for a tour of the Orient, to lnolude China and Japan, booking direct On Sunday "Friendly Enemies" gave a matinee exclusively for soldiers and sailors. Ths admission ticket was a uniform Lou Tellegea's engagement in "Blind Youth" at the Powers' Is limited te two weeks. He will he followed by the farce,* "Slek Abed." Edgar Dudley has placed June Roberta, formerly of the Winter Oarden show, with Raymond Hitchcock for three years, and Florence Walton for two seasons. Both will open In the new revue. Miss Leitsel has been forced to leave the Rlngllng Circus owing to illness. The entire program has been changed and a number of new sets have been added. The shew Is belew par, yet it Is doing a big business. All the Chicago theatres are doing a nourishing ^business In the sale ef Liberty Bonds, under the anspioes of the Theatrical Women's War Relief, In charge of Mrs. Mort H. Singer. Up to last week the Palase led all other houses in sales. The managers of the various cabarets are getting together with the object of flghtlng the new ordinance whleh becomes effective May 1. Counsel for the safe men assert the new law Is unconstitutional. Several test cases ars planned. Prompt deliveries of material will enable the new Orpheum theatre, to be located in the new Edwards building, Tulsa. Okla., to open ahead of the original echedule, according to announcement made by O. W. Edwards, owner of the building. The theatre portion of the building is expected to be lalshed about June 15, a month ahead of the original date of opening This week it Is expected there will be heard the ease agalast Harry Powers of the Powers' and Blsokstone theatres brought by Ernest Booker of Booker ft Co., New York, for the payment of $9,000 alleged to be due for the purchase of two musical Instruments designed to replace the orchestra. Powers de- clares the instruments were not up to guar- antee and were removed after three weeks' trial. The Windsor theatre, which has had a somswhat unsatisfactory regime under the management of D. W. tchwarts, opened prom- isingly Monday under the new management of Walter Meakln, who put the hoodoo Logan square house on the theatrical map. The Windsor, whleh will bo booked by Willie Berger (W. V. M. A.), will soatlane its former poller, playing four splits a week, six acts, at 14 seats and 1ft cents, with a larger show Sunday, 10 cents top. Mr. Schwarta will con- tinue running the Mllda, which has been giv- ing satisfactory returns. MAJESTIC (William Q. Tisdale, mgr.; Or- pheum; rehearsal, 0.80).—The Avon Comedy Four kept us out on ennui. They are of the essence of vaudeville, dispensers of sublime hoakum, super salesman of scream-provoking nothings, voice-blending marvels. They dominated the bill in the face of the pre- tentious competition of Emma Cams and Alan Brooks. This act is for no one class; it hits them all, highbrows and lowbrows, men and women and children. The show opened with a hop, flop and tumble by the Robert De Mont Trio in their "Hotel Turnover" dancing-acro- batic spell. Their work 1b fast and furious, and they bridge the opening handicap by their swift stepping. Alexander MacFadyen, who looks aa much like McFadden as his name spells like it, nevertheless pleased with his finished piano recital. He was followed by Tameo Kajlyama, who spelled wlerd words backwards, forwards, top side up and hind side front, all very entertainingly, and with a pleasant line of talk which added to the effect. Kajlyama has one little fault. He affecta a whisper instead of a talk. That simulates a degree of mental exhaustion as the result of his concentration, but it makes It very hard for those in the rear of the house to get what he is saying. Vine Daly threw her fine voice to the uttermost corners of the house, wasting the high boys on soma songs that are obsolete, or should be. She has the voice, but she needs the songs. Emma Carus and Larry Comer followed, Larry fol- lowing Emma, and staying a respectful dis- tance behind her. Miss Carus has Introduced a new song, which she sings to Mr Comer: MARGIE SMITH ETHEL LE CLAIR In their New Ad, "Blond ie and Slim" By JOHN HYMAN Directlea.
