And the quickest and best way for you to survive the wave of unrest in not obtaining immediate bookings is to take a personal invoice of your act and give its "dress- ing" the attention it needs. And the only place to insure the right kind of costumes and wardrobe that milady should wear on the st».ge is at the AMELIA CAIRE SHOP. Everything new but the name—CAIRE—and that means the very latest gown, frock or dress that will make either stage or screen actress look right and give her the mark of class and distinction necessary to success.

JACKSON WINS (Continued from Page 1) was ever used, and that the two scenes submitted, covering four pages of manuscript, were thrown out, Jackson at that time being busy on the libretto of "La L.a Lucille." Arthur Jackson, who wrote the 1919 "Scandals" lyrics testified as one of White's wit- nesses. Arthur is Fred Jackson's brother. White's testimony was to the ef- fect that the cast was idle impro- vising its own book until Andy Rice was called in during the Washing- £.

Rice was not given program credit for the "Scandals of 1919," although he did figure the following year as a' *.hor of the 1920 edition. Clarence Jacob- son was another star witness at the trial, which lasted from last Tues- day until Monday, the jury disa- greeing as to whether Jackson had nn express oral contract or not. The court then charged them to fix a certain value on Jackson's serv- ices rendered, if any, and they al- lowed the plaintiff $400. Ned Way- burn and Edgar MacGregor testi- fied in Jackson's behalf. • On the strength of the fact that the jury adjudicated the fact that he (Jackson) did contribute to the book of the show, the plaintiff has instructed Mr. Flshel to institute the action against George White. O'P.rien, Malovinsky & Driscoll acted for the defendant.

From that on the plot unravels in a very amusing fasHion. The feature film. "Footlights," closed the show. A6c?. CHICAGO PRAISES EMILY EARLE HERALD-EXAMINER, Oct. 26th, Tom Bashaw says: When good-bye time came at 1U:30 last night it looked like bewitchingly brunette Emily Earle of the "Chuckles of 1921" was running away with the election first honors. Most of the wards had been heard from and she was far in the lead, with a few scattering outlying "coffee-shop" precincts still to be heard from. Her show girl parody on "Ain't We Got Pun?" swept the ballots into the box avalanche fashion. Look out for her--—she's on her way, or our gucsser—and the croud's—isn't hitting right. > PLAYING SHUBERT VAUDEVILLE FIFTH AVENUE This house had what appeared on paper to be a strong comedy bill for the first half, but for some reason or other the Tuesday night audi- ence sat back and let the show run along without any great showing of appreciation. Although applause was forthcoming throughout the evening there was no general out- burst at any one* time. Toyland Follies opened the show. It is a quiet mannlkin turn well handled and effectively produced. Jack Mar- ley, No. 2, produced nothing to in- crease the pace. His best work was done with the recitation containing the names of the current Broadway shows. The remainder of his talk went by with but slight attention paid. Not even a bow was required of this chap. The bill got Its first real dash of class with Holmes and La Vere, No. This couple have their Tommy Gray vehicle in good running shape and gathered In the first applause of the evening. Miss La Vere is offering a dance in male attire that is one of the act's best assets. This act was worthy of a later position. Josephine Davis (New Acts) fol- lowed quietly. Jones and Jones, two colored boys. No. 5, with a nicely routined line of chatter, made a strong bid for com- edy honors. Following the quiet sing- ing turn, the spot could not have been more advantageously picked for them. The audience laughed continually at their talk, but did not give the turn what it deserved. Frank Dobson and His Sirens, the first-half feature, provided a flash with several attractive girls. The Dobson turn has seen considerable service, but still retains its useful- ness. Dobson runs through the piece in a light-comedy role, creating sev- eral good laughs with the aid of a diminutive chap and a robust young woman. The act provided all of tli<> requirements of a feature for this house.

Frank and Teddie Sabinl. next to closing The comedy derived from taking the male member out of the pit brought forth a number of good laughs. The vocal efforts of Miss Sabinl, formerly Teddie Tappan registered with the desired effect! This couple easily earned the next to closing honors.
