McLAIN Sbubcrt'a wo giving more r»:al fUdeville and loss biirloHquo or ItTues. "Florodora" was advert IboJ tor this wc«k. but the bill was ar- imnged differently. Hcttie King was •Iso much advertised, but did not lULko her appearance. T*© Milo belongs the honor of bc- lif the first on'e called upon for any- thing ilko a curtain speech. In a •rowd of 600 people they nearly all Mve to applaud to bring this about, •B4 that Is what they did. The Whole show went over very nicely. Bert Shepard's trick of plucking t coin from his assistant's teeth Is * thriller. Ilattio Althoff and Sist^'r Would surely deserve better than No. 1 if playing where the house does jot flll up before No. 4. New or dif- wrent stylo dresses would be well w Hattie. "In Argentina" Is slow Jjt is saved by iho two dance num- bers, the tango and the apache, the Ifctter earning two bowH. Bob Nel- son merited the two bows which he received, especially followed Milo. Arluro liornardi uses the ftime sketches which ho did on Koith's eleven yoars ago, to portray his prott'an ability. They liked him. Al and Harry Klein, next to closing, received one laugh—from their en- trance to exit. They can be for- given the old ones as they are inter- spersed with original linos, and they most certainly put it over with a particular individuality. The last two weeks have Im.vmi leg- \ilar vaudeville at the IJheriy. and there is jio reanon wliy tli«y should not do a regular bu.sines.s, unless it is the prieo. Keith's is still standing them up at matinee and by 8 o'clock even- ings. Valda and Co. open, Valda do- ing .some none too good dancing, and the company consisting of an ordi- nary piano player with a maid, moth* r or aunt assisting her with changes in view of the audience: did not arouse much enthusiasm. Milli- cent Mower cadenzaed and thrilled, makhig a strong finish singing an accompniilment to a CHlli-Curei EDDIE MACK TALKS: No. 54 The 2 Sams (Dody and Lewis,), yip at the Alhambf ? this week «Oct. 24), stop in EDDIE MACKS about four- times a year to say, •'Hello.

Qeorge Yeoman and Lizzie deliver a monolog reminiscent of Ezra Kendall. Jokes as well as style of delivery. Drags In spots as the audience Is waiting for the appear- anco of Lizzie. Melvln Bros, rightly placed in No. 4, as this trio of hand- balancers begin where all others leave off, and is one of the best of its kind in vaudeville. Sid Lewis warmed them up In about three min- utes and went over big. A real .single seems to be a thing of the past, as he has two assistants, as did Bert Walton last week. The Greenwich Villagers closed to a good hand, although it is not above the standard of girl and music acts which have been playing Keith's re- cently. A fairly good bill as a whole, and will do the usual business. DETROIT, MICH. By JACOB 8MITH "Greenwich Follies of 1920" held for a second week at Garriek. Next. Leo DItrichstein In "Toto." "The Skin Game" at Mi«-liigan. Next, Petrova \VhIlc Peacock." Shubert in "The Kd Wynn in "The Perfect Fool' at New Detroit. Next, Mrs. Fiske. "The Bat" played to capacity last week at tho Michigan and easily could have remained two weeks. No play in years got so much mouth- to-mouth advertising. Arthur Duke O'Bryan, Chicago manager for the International VaudevilU^ Kxchange, was granted a divorce from Reta Ainsley on .Oct. 17. The couplo were married over four years, but have been separated nearly three years. Incompatib llty were tho divorce grounds. Mrs O'Brj'an Is with TTnfton Powells Dardanella Co., playing the middle west. The International Vaudeville Ex- change last week placed Charles T. Aldrich and the Three Chums, who recently appeared at the Shubert Detroit, for three days with tho Re- gent, Bay City. It was done with the consent of the Shuberts. ROCHESTER By L.
