Blon- dell Implants his laughs securely and pre- cisely, and, as aforonotod, emerged triumphant. Marzella's Birds were first Some of the specimens are pretty. That is about the best one can say for the turn, which did not do so well. Belle Sisters, vivacious and ener- getic, pleased with an array of frockB that were luminous and a routine that was equally colorful. The younger girl displays quite some ability. Clinton and Rooney, with the Rooney end running ahead, were liked, especially when she of the Rooney clan danced. The duo necessarily came back with some speech hokum that got them nothing. Howard and Helen Savage made a good closer with their shoot- ing, which was sure-fire,, or rather, sure- firing. CRESCENT.—A drear, commonplace pro- gram the latter end of last week, holding but one bright moment, and that, unfortunately. In conclusion. O. K. Lege] opened. One of those tramp Jugglers with soiled garments and all the accustomed Impedimenta. Vaudeville would do something for Itself and its patrons if it threw the dirty tramp make-up off of its program. Ryan and Moore proved to be Just an act They barely pleased. Saxton and Farrel had the woman complaining about mix- ing her effects, with the comic approaching in the guise of a stage-hand, the duo running through a splattering of Jazz that has long been obsolete In the nlne-a-day Inkpots. They did nothing because they did nothing. Iludler, Stein and Phillips managed ttf pull through with full-dressed harmonizing, their self- consciousness thwarting somewhat Chalfonte Sisters proved an oasis In this desert of mediocrity, their pretty setting, costuming and vigorous dancing furnishing balm for the eyes, ears, brain and nerves after the Irksome near- acts that preceded them. LYRIC—"Broadway Raatus." STRAND.—Mae Murray in "The Delicious Little Devil," first half. "The Crimson Gar- denla," 'jst half. -■.■■'•> LIBE tTT.—Marguerite Clark In "Come Out of the ? .Itcben," first half. Dorothy Dalton in "The I rty of Red Butte," last half. .-. ;■ • :i TUD' «.—"Mickey." . : ";•? The Strand has a new policy and will play pictures because of their merit and regardless of the producing firm hereinafter. Mae Mur- ray In "The Delicious Little Devil" was thought good enough for the first part of this week. It Is the first time the Strand has offered a' Murray feature. The theatre Is to double its admission prices during the month of Juno,' when It will play for a week each five fea- tures of extraordinary promise. They include Nazlmova In "The Red Lantern," Douglas Fairbanks In "Knickerbocker Buokaroo," Grif- fith's "True Hearted Susie," coupled with Patty Arbuckle's "The Desert Hero," Mary Plefefwrd In "Daddy Long Legs," and lastly, a comblna-* tlon ot "The Woman Thou Gavest Me" and Chaplin In his newest release, "Sunnyslde." Of course, the usual units will supplement the features. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Mather loft for Ottawa, whero Mather will act as delegate of Local No. 39, I. A, T. S. E., at the convention to be held there. ; Billy Board has again signed as principal comedian with Al. G. Field's Minstrels, due to start the season In August.
