COMPLETE HOUSEKEEPING 310 WE8T 48th 8T.. N. Y. CITY bored by most of the managers of this city without reference to a date book. Whether because it is the middle of Lent, or some other rea- son, is not known, but the fact is that business has slumped, and slumped bad, even the burlesque managers noticing the absence of many of their regulars. What is worrying the managers now is how long will it last, and the prospects do not look any too good. The re- duction of wages In the packing house trades means & loss to the workers in this city of some $28,000 a week, which is bound to have some effect, and the coming cut in wages in the railroad trades means more of the same thing. As an il- lustration of the poor business this week, the National Basketball Tournament in Convention Hall, with visiting teams from all parts of the country present and contest- ing for the world's championship, drew less than 200 for the opening game of the second day. "Clarence'' at the Grand, for the second time within a year, opened to nice business at $2 top, which held up fairly well during the week, but not capacity at any time, or any- thing like its first engagement?busi- ness. At the Rhubert, "Way Down East," on its second week, held its own, gaining noticeably each night, but still far below advance expecta- tions. The picture got more money its first week than the "Birth of a Nation" on its first week some years ago at the same top prices. The picture will remain until March 27, when Al Jolson will open a week's engagement, the second at this hous'o this season. On his first ap- pearance this season Jolson got over $40,000 at $3.50 top, breaking all house records, and another big time is expected on his return.

The Mantell business is being helped to some extent by the schools advising parents to send their chil- dren to witness the Shakespearean plays. The Orpheum is to close about May 15.

Formerly l^llVl^LiCi JDLwalUU Paene: COLUMBUS 1348 REISEN WEBE R'S the Palace bill the latter part of last week through illness. Bert Kenny was brought over from the Orpheum to nil in. Dorothy Brenner has recovered from grippe, through which she was incapacitated for a week. Her pal. Helen Flynn, was down with the malady several days before. The French opera committee de- cided to postpone soliciting sub- scriptions for a new opera house until October. Zelda Dunn has returned to Chi- cago, after dazzling the local rialto the past winter with her robes. Bernlce, Le Ban* and Beaux were the first-half de luxe attraction at Loew's. Bernlce, pretty, red headed and wears clothes smartly, her boys —five of them, are dapper and snap- py. Nifty little small-time feature that stood up and stood out. Wil- bur and Lyke got the most at the very finish of the act. Before that they seemed to be skidding, due to untoward arrangement. Melroy Sisters received almost the Identical reception of Wilbur ahd Lyke. They could throw away their opening number. It gets them away poorly. Hart and Helene was just Helene as far as the crowd was concerned. She was all over the stage trying to get the turn over, and eventually succeeded. There are several dull stretches that should be brightened or eliminated. Bernard and Meyers looked as if they needed a new act. There was some shattered laughter at periods, but at the end the turn sagged. It may have been Bernard and his cabby delineation were not appeal- ing through cabmen being obsolete. Still spilling matter like "it is hard to lose your wife" and kindred an- tique gags tloes not make for suc- cess.

It looked as if there would be no performance Monday night, but foresight in'detouring made it pos- sible for the artists to arrive in time. The bill proved thoroughly engrosHinsr. with considerable Inter- est centering around Zena Kecfe (New Acts), co-headlined. Okura Japs opened. The usual routine save toward the close. Nov- elty is aimed at. Did fairly. Itae Eleanor Ball and Brother ran through their familiar moment to neat returns, achieving distinction during the final minutes. They might have encored the second time, but wisely left them still desirous. Imhoff, Conn and Coreene played as they have never played before, implanting each episode of their comedy classic with such knowledge of humorous effect that the shrieks of merriment reverberated aa one resounding gale of laughter. Claude Golden Is as deft with the pasteboards as formerly. The years lend the poise he lacked previously. Golden wag quite successful. Margaret Padula displayed energy and evident anxiety to please. Her efforts and striving boro fruit event- ually. "On Fifth Avenue" closed. The 1 lassard Short revue that was short in many essentials when revealed in New York last summer, has been whipped Into excellent shape by Moore and Magney, and now ranks as one of the best girl acta en tour. It held them seated and applauding her. Eddie Borden, who has now adopted a southern dialect, is heavy typed. He carried the comedy end across splendidly. A burlesque in "one" by Borden, Ben Mason and Rose Kessner has not been ap- proached in months in point of de- lightful drollery. Extremely hot Tuesday night but the Palace was not affected. Musi- cal hunters were first. They keep their moment dapper as to dress and strove energetically. The re- turns were fair. Ed E. Ford started well with facial contortions, but drifted into poetry, which spelled his doom. Black and White Revue is the same tabloid minstrel affair, and would have passed away but for Alma Nelson whose toe dancln- and general animation "helped im- measurably in lifting the act where it needed it most. The two come- dians carried are Impossible. Dave Ferguson projected a new act In "one" called "Alimony," written by Andy Rice. Hip wife comes up from the audience to insist on tax payments, with Ferguson walking through the aisles and importuning sympathy from the auditors prior to the exit. It has an idea but rises and falls through the talk being null at periods. Ferguson and his feminine asistant are trying, and work and switching about ought to eventually send the act along. Notwithstanding Pantagea is pre- senting the best bill in several weeks, business is light. The open- Hotels Catering to Prof ^"W- M W*"i n-"lon—a ■—a afa aaaa — — WARNER HOTEL AMSTERDAM.
