Variety (March 1921)

~" VARIETY .1 (LAnotiiwSmashinihit DO YOU EVER TOINK^ME * successor to rf SendforOrchestmtion and ^fissional copy Now! Sherman Jflay & Co. SAN FRANCISCO last season, has not lost any popu- larity from the reception opening night. Will play to big houses. AUDITORIUM.—"Take It From Me" could stand alone as farce, and with generous display of lingerie as added attraction and quartet of good funmakers thrown in makes one of the best musical shows to ptay a second season's engagement here for some time. LYCEUM.—"The Guest of Honor," a new comedy by William Hodge, was well received by the admirers of this player the opening night, but It failed to hold the interest of the greater part of the audience. Rob- ert Clark, a remarkable child actor, is the outstanding Interesting fcat- ure of the entertainment. ACADEMY.—Alexander, a mystic who performs some old and new tricks and seems to be able to an- swer questions, opened Monday to i small house, but due to the pub- licity caused by good newspaper WRITB FOR COLOR CHART AND BOOKLET HOW TO MAKE-UP ■ M. 8TEIN COSMETIC CO. 480 BROOME ST., NEW YORK <i»"%*^^^^ notices should draw well during the rest of hts stay here. PLAYHOUSE.—Billy Allen. Irish comedian, second week, with "My Once in a While," knows how to play up the girl end of his enter- tainment with good results.

PARKWAY.—"The Jucklins," pic- ture, featuring Monte Blue and Mabel Julienne Scott. NEW.—Douglas Mcl>an in "The Rookie s Return." RTVOLI.—This newest downtown picture house is still getting all the r.towds and hold ins them with their first-run pictures. This week, Doug- las Fairbanks in "The Nut." VAGABOND. — The Vagabond Players present their usual program of three one-act plays to good crowds. Mrs. C. Hughes Manly is the shining light on the program, and carried off all honors opening night in the 'bird play, "The Geste of the Girdle." This month's reper- toire seems to be the most accept- able of the season. L7HIC—That a muaicai comedy may be staged without a chorus and still be well received was proved this week, where "A Bride For Sale," a Yiddish musical play, was presented by a company headed by Dora Welssraan and Sam Hasten. To the latter is due most of the credit for the production. Nat Youngelson produced the play. Mrs. Herbert Gresham. formerly Miss Martha Ford, daughter of the late John T. Ford and sister of Charles E. and John T. Ford, man- agers of Ford's theatre here, has returned to the stage after a pro- longed absence and is preparing a sketch called "Ladies of the Jury," to open soon in New England. Her daughter, Miss Ethel Gresham, also has a role in the sketch. Alleging a miscarriage of Justice, the Citizens' League for Better Mo- tion Pictures, of which Mrs. How- ard D. Bennett is president, has protested to Attorney-General Arm- strong on the fines being inadequate in the cases of Joseph and Irvin Levin, charged with displaying im- moral advertising posters, and George Fuller of the Metro Film Corporation, Washington, accused of leasing film without having made the eliminations ordered by the Censor Board, i BUFFALO By 8IDNEY BURTON.

The News* critic on the strength of the printed pro- gram gave Geo. Le Maire credit for appearing in the show, whereas he had left the organization at the close of the Boston engagement. The at. traction played to heavy business. •Ths Famous Mrs. Fair," with Henry Miller and Blanche Bates, at the Majestic next week Is plugging the heaviest advance publicity of any attraction here this season. A play is also being made for mail or- der business. The show is scaled at $1 top. Cantor Kwarten appeared at the Majestic Sunday night in a concert program, but failed to draw any- thing like respectable money. The National on Broadway is open again with a picture policy after a lapse of over two years, dur- ing which the house has been closed.
