From :i furtain speech it was iteduced a eomplete change of num- bers and wardrobe is to be a w<'«'kly feature of the Dollys' stay. Clos- ing? the first lialf with only one dancing turn ahead, they landed solidly. Williams and "NVolfu.s, subbing ff>r Ouiran and Marguerite who were ill. Kot on lourth to double at the Al- hambra. The hokum and low comedy of AVilllams "made" the liist half of the .show and aofteni'd tho bill for the rest of the entries. This turn was sj)otted just right. Wells, Virginia and West opened after Intermission and it was lucky for the dancers that none had to fol- low the solo Itussian and eccentric stepping of Buster West. This kid received an ovation at the comple- tion of his solo dance, the like of whichvhas never been hoard in the Palace. He Is unquestionably the greatest Hubsian and "hoch" stepper that has been seen in years. Tho act haa been slopping shows in tho thrce#i-day houses for seasons with the big time bookers refusing to be- lieve it. The other two mtnibrrs can step but the "kid" is the worlds. Arnaut Uros. followed with their time worn vehicle and never wont better. The "loving birds" whistling duet in "one" for the linish dragged them back for several encores. Walter C. Keftly with a flock of new stories in dialect whanged them, following. The Judge did Judge JJrown for the linish with a few now twists to his standard stuff and negro dialects. He has substituted an Knglish strain for the former "wop." Another pip was in the vernacular. Kelly handles all lin- Kual acrobatics with ease and makes his characters as clean cut as cameos. Ho could have re- mained longer but called It a day while they were still clamoring. The Watson Sisters on late tackled a big Job following aM that show but galloped in, eased up. Fannie's every effort at comedy was a suc- cess. The released gags from which most of the dialog has been culled went as though brand new. At the linish the girls did several encores b'ngthening their act. They joined tho "Bringing out Mother for a bow" « lass but crossed the mob when Mother sanjj "Wild Irish Hose" in a sweet soprano. For an extra eti- «ore Fannie diJ ft burlesque hand TO h.'ind stunt with her lathor lop inonntor. She made her final exit whorlid ore in a hand truck by a Etu^'o hand. 1^1 on and Co.

Burke has a c«)rUi)i« ropo.'ption of song d< livory, a r«asorjably good voice, iWar diition ami a goodly share of stage )n rsonality. Miss Durkin (loinurly of tin; Durkin Sisters) adds .a touch of goniiino class to the pioiiiK', and hor solo earned hor an indiviilual bit. Thoy sorod on a p.r with the bi'.lan'O of tho sup- poitintj program. "Tho Family Ford," foinvrly a "iMdlios" attraitic with W. C. l-'it'ldy, Fantiy Bri«'o, otc, is now vauib\ illing with Ji- Harkins and Co. llaikins, with his natural stylo of dolivciy, earned a bundle of laughs and gavo tho bill the essen- tial tou«-h of comedy. It's a good comedy turn, and in the hands of Harking well taken care of. ^ Jack Bonny with chattor and a f«\v sliort violin solos filled in r.ither well, his Hebraic rcforoncos. soomingly doliborato for the River- side clientele, got ting the oxpe«'ted loiurns. Bonny might dross a trifle bottor, for in a specialty of this nature a]»poarancc is ono of the important roi|Uisite.s. Tho Swor Jirolhors wore elected to close iho show, and managtul to hold all but a sparse few in for their blackfaco skit. Thoy gathon'd an immodiato l:iugh with their pantomimic opening, and from then on kept tho house laughing con- tinually. Andorson and Pony, re- turning to this sido, did nicly. ^Vynn, RIVERSIDE With the Dolly Sister.s headlining .-ir.d a rather light, but entertaining, supporting bill, the Riverside drew ji big gathering Monday nlglit. opening thoir ourrent Amori«anon- KHgement at the Palace last week, the Dollys apparently realized ilio lolly of carelossness, for this week ilioy are offering something on a par with their reputation and popu- larity. The male dancing assisrant is kept from view until tho ttnal ilancc, A speedy affair that closed a \Nell-chcri=!on routine and earned tho Is a half doj:cn legitimate bows and a farew-11 speech.

And Julius l.enzbojg didn't muff a b 'at, consequently the success of the Dollys was doubly assured. "An Artistic Tioal" opened the ;how, a posing ad caiiying two uomon and one man, the trio work- ing in while cast.

His lirst turn ran over L'O weeks, it hav- ing played several repeats. Now with "The Promenaders," which moved over from Brooklyn, ho will easily swing around the circuit be- fore the season wanes. The Mon- day night house was fairly good, tho first night draw being noti'^oably under that of the "Midnight Round- tr.s" last week. The balcony was comfortably liiled. Hussey's flrst revue had a similar name, and last week's revue hold the same tjtle. It appears that tho current "Midnight Rounders" and "The Promenaders" have both taken a part of the Eddie Cantor "Round- ers," which was made up of Cen- luiy roof bits and nunibt-i'». Tlitr Hussey "Promenaders" has eome- thing more added, ono scene coming from his own revue, "Tattle Tales," which was fused into the Century Roof show and then sent out of town. At least three num1>ers were cut out from the "Promonadors" as seen in Brooklyn and were probably re- moved after the first matinee at the <;arden. The revue, which takes up the entire second section of the bill, ran 64 minutes as against 80 min- utes la.ct week, and the night show was finaled for 10.55. One or two of tho deleted numbers were marked for possible rointroduclion during the week. "Tho I'rojnenadors" opened oddly and inapprojiriately with an Apache pantomime by Kathleen and Thoo Zambouni. The bit called for halt lights. Tho Apache murdeis his lover, and. taunted by hor spirit, leaps from tho window. The prolog, The Knockers." was o\it entirely. Hussoy and Eddie Hickoy, with the sohlier dialog, wt-ro sent on next, and that bit furnished the lirst laughter of the evening. "Old Fash- ionott Waltzes," ono of the roof numbers, took tho rovuc into full stage for tho lirst time. The num- ber can stand rehearsals, ono or two • oupb's not being snro of their as- signment^*. Miss OHanlon and Zambouni were easily the stopping wirnvrs hero. In fact, tho team worked unusually hard all tho way t+irouph the show and Itfoy carried tho evening's dan«ing honors. O'llanlon and Zambouni were on as a team throe times. That in- (^hnb'd i\ five-minule specialty of tango and a<-robatic one-step, which was on third in the first section of the bill. Always grae«'ful and spec- tacular, their first brief appearance drew dowifwalloping applause. They are remembered as !/ure-scorors in the ("entury Roof shows. Their early suecess was w«in despite following Burns ntid Foian. two clever soft shoo dancois, Tho boys were used so\oial times in the "I'romonaders" section, also doing very well, but hajidicai>i)« d late iMcanse b«'ing as- signpd to stop with Mifs O'llanh a «her fourth appearance) and then sent out for a double number a few minutos later. "When the Cat's Away." a farce with Hussey ami l^tlnl Davis in the leads, may liave boon "adapted' from "(Indor the I'.ed," one of the I'l.tipnee Moore bits in "Tiio .Music P.ox Revue Nordstrow. again drew attention, handling the shim»»y bit and song originally han- dled by Rao Samuels (the show pla'yed tlio road but not New York). There ^Nas a bigger chorus used hero than at any other time, but tho number of girls in the "Promenad- ers'' counts under that in new "lioundors " revue, and thoy are not used nearly as much or to the same advantage. "Tho .Strike" a comedy scene and "My l.ady of the Cameo" were both- out of tho revue, though programed and the bits switched around con- siderably therefore. "Beautiful Shoulders," one of the striking nov- elties when the "Rounders ' was tho Itoof show, was retained. Dagmar Oakland led tho number, looking well there whon he was singing tin- number for the old fashionoil waltz scene. Lou Edwards used in var- ious bits ag.iin delivered with his own acrobatic dance specialty. There were seven acts in tho first section of the big four doubling in tho Hussoy section after intoimis- sion. CJeorgo and Dick Rath, a))- peaiing foruth, went for a smash. Their athletics furnish a superb.ex- hibition. They are of the original roof hits appearing either iii the Hussey or the "Rounders" revues. For encore, the Raths did their stuff down on the apron and it wa.s tolling. Miss Davis ' on next for hoi- specialty waited entrance until the brothers responded for a forced .ad- ditional bi'W. Her clover handlin.g of lyrics sent Miss Davis over ex- ceptionally. Ray Miller's jazas orchestra and ClifT Edwards were an added fea- ture to th»» olio section. They lifted up the early part of tho "Rounders" revue in Brooklyn two weeks ago and turned the trick again Monday. The Miller b»:nd and Edwards are playing their third week at tho fJarden in five weeks, their last ap- pearance here being a holdover. Cards were shown for most of the numbers i)layed, also for ono of Ed- ward's songs, the cards also saying the numbers were by request. There were eight number^ in all. three being encored. Edwards disln d a new one that tickled. It was "I Wonder Where She AVont and Whon She's Coming Back Again JUues." The Miller-lOdwartls outfit shaded the Raths for the first section's honors and made that portion of tho bill important, even though it was virtually empty oPcomedy. Buddy Doyle was another added turn, he showing to a real measure of success on fourth. Hussoy was programed for a single but was not on until the revue started. Doyle has been nursed along by the Shu- berts for a season or so. He started as a cabaret singer and wont into one of the musical shows on tour. He Is singing Lou Silvers* "April Showers," one of Al Jolson's favor- ites. Doyle gave imitations of Jolson and '^anior but did best with an im- pression of Eddie Leonard. Lipin.ski's Canine Novelty fur- niiihed a lively opening. This turn is repeating, having boon with tho first Shubort v.iudoville units, but is worth while in the spot. Ihec. ilancer acros.«, though none of the company gf 10 lack in their re- s|)0ctiv6 specialties or when together. The act is dressed as well as when it initialed, and looks equally as good, be.sidea building up to a final enthusiastic outburst. Miss Hoffman lent plenty of fervor to hor work, predominating above tho routine without that physical faculty of forcing any one into tho background. It's show- manship to the nth degree, which permits the fullest po.ssibilitics of the individuals to stand out while collectively summing up as a pro- duction turn that is both a credit to vaudovillo and tho principals in- vclvod. Tho house liguraliv<ly "ate it up.' ^'^^''iZ. and credited to l*'raiices There isn't a heap of dilV<'ren<o and it is ono bit that was not in the former loof shows. Hus- sey's dialoft work lifted tho farce to valU'<. with the groans of the hid- den sw» e(h«;iits ono of the best laiir^'ir--. .Mi>.s Davis* ".S.n.ih' sup- pli<(l a capable foil for the come- dian. The farce figures .about the fun- niest bit in tJie 'I'ronMJtadeis."

Ilusseys 'Polieo S'alion." done f.isT a^ an a* '. is tlo- bit eoiitributed from 'Totile TiMes.' Mlf^D.lvjs 81 ST ST. An interesting six-act bill took up somewhat over the usii.il run- ning time, due to the (lorlrude Hoffman production. Previous to the elaboiiite presentation the bill sironglhcno'd as it proceeded, with l-'rawloy and Loui:.?, next to closing, terminating subslanlially. Tho mixed duo are offering a new rou- tine, having benched the cigar stand episode. The present turn has Frawlcy gelling "Hoak," so labeled upon a satchel, and his partner continuing her assignment of being a good-looking "straight." The conver.><ation has a loaning toward a wise classification that fairly bristles at intervals, with I'lawley's clowning and manner of delivery in getting the gags away fast running away to the extent that the neighborhood patrons were about one behind most of the time. A trio of "pop" melodies are also in file routine for apprecia- tion. One allows the girl to make a becoming change of costume, it's a breezy entertainment from a nice appearing couple. The house took to it imm-HlIately, besides putting a final O. K. on the team. Major Jack Alien gave the rvon- ing its start by his illustrated de- scription on capturing wild animals alive, through roping, touched up with more or l.^ss kidding offered from the side of the stage. Various parts of the film wore deemed of sufflciont merit to draw applause which led to a final response that labels tho art as being an interest- ing interval for any vaudeville house. Cornell, Leona and Zij)py followed, with the acrobatics of tlie male half of the team gaining tho most recognition. Maud lOarl (New Acts) was No. 4, h.iving Jllsa Ryan just ahca<l of her. Mi.'s Ryan con- linues to ad 111) very much as ^<llc pleases through the act, while many nev/ linos have boon insert»'d, thougii tlip • busiti'^ss" of the sket<h ro- iniins the .same. The lloffnian rovuo lie!d tho final spot, crashing tiiiough o^ oil three as.'iots of ability, illu.-ion and or- i-hest ration. It's a jdcisnro lo listen in on what Max Hoffman has done with i* twice daily orchestra through tho addition of extra pieces and an anangement of the score, which Is ns mucii a feature of tho act as anything e!.«'e. The music. alone, ik enough to put a roor COLONIAL Tho vaudeville bill at tho Colonial for this week holds no name that could bo accounted to draw the very clo.-o to capacity attendance the theat 10 hold Monilay night. And this in tho face of reports tho Colonial bad very bad I'Msiness last worlc. If ^•^)l•re^t, that uu ii.dlvi«lual act drew, then the »\\planation must bo in tho shows themselves. It's an old threshed out theory about a vaudeville show that a show docs more than a In'iulliiur. That may bo true when sueh shows are tho rule instead of tho except ion. A h'^ad- liner is loquirod when business falls away, that i--. a hoartlino draw- ing Paino, or when iho policy is to promote names for a continual draw. If anyone cares to go to tho trouble ;ind parallels tho names of last week's Colonial show with those of this wt ok. they may get tl«e id«^i. The eurrent show holds standard name.-? kn.own to vaudeville fans in a gon«ral way. but tho shov/ as a whole looks new and j)Ossiblo. U's not full of repeats, its acts have not been hammered around New York oontinuously, in the houses and in the ads. If it's just a booking bre.-ik. il's loo V)ad lho;^o Kind of breaks do not o<'eur more often, speaking now not from tho inside lujt the outside of vau'U'villo. along tho linos vau- deville patrons have bo(>n t.alUing. ^\■hoM vaudovillo goers sitting alongside and in the lobby may bo Inard to express themselves about vaudovillo and its a»'ts in the most familiar terms, the certainty is there that tluy know what thoy are going lo see b«*foio t h»'y hCO it. That loaves them wanting what thoy want—as Con says, they go sho])- ping. Tho bill in its running order Mon- day evening had B^agy and Clauss. Spencer and Wlll'ams. Arnaut 13roF.. Donovan and Leo. DoLyle A Ma an<l Co., itite) mission, Tempest and Wat- .•-on. Bobby Higgins and Co., Mar- garet Young. Flying Henrys, Mil- dred Harris did not appear. Tho hit of this collection wore .Tames B. Donovan and Mario Lee. They w»*re No. 4 and tho only turn to get the concirtod clap of the Coloiiial's chaps. It's the high m irk of approval there. But Donovan and Lee did not afford the most en- tertainment. Their .score was secured through Jim Donovan's g.»gs and old Irish songs. Miss Leo grt-atly aided throughout and was in strong at the linish with her jigging reel that really did the trick', as .lim hummed tho melody. Tho amusement hit came from Bobby Higgins and Co. in their now comedy playlet, "Oh Chetne.v ' by lA'wis Allen Brown. It's a sine ih'v hoKe piece, a bedroom eomedy really, that cGuhln't fall down ordinarily, but as playoil by Mr. Higgins in j)articular, it's .about the surest sure lire in vaudovillo, for laaghs. Often tho laughs turn into howls, all through the situ.ation, and Mr. Hig- gins' pl.'iying of a refined rural boob on his honeymoon. The i ulwj nnd the boob have been don<« many ways ill vau«levillo, and Bobby Higgins before he did this, had a rep as a comedian, but neither the rube nor the boob has been done before the way Higgins does if. nor lias Hig- gins ever done anything that for comedy choracterization. commences to touch this role he mal<os a laugh- ing gem of in a iiorftctly legitimate manii'M*. There may be hoke in tho skit but there's none in Higgins' work. The oast takes in Betty Piojce as the pretty and wordly bride, with (loorgo Callahan and Agnes Oildea in t-haracter roles. •Oh Chetney" is a laugh Ciimpellor and a rep««aier. Sccoiul after int«M- mission the hor.so ihoiougbly cu- .ioycHl it. Those who may h.ivo given it thought must have giv<n tho play- ers credit as well lor handling a delicate situation so worlvinanliKe and for lauglm that the delicaey thought iiev( r <'nlei» d. Another entertaining tuiii, but oi" a iUffereiit type, und tho \a)i<ty of the Colonial's show this weric is another point in its t'avor, was that of DeI,ylo .Mda's, <Iosing tho liist p.n t. Here's a splondi<lly constrtni- ed vaudeville tu:ii with a good look- ing girl owfting a real voice at the head of it. Its called "Sadie. One of Those Cirls," auothoi- ai-t sug- gested by the ".'^ally' hit. Will written, v.e'l s'ag<'d. it itins thronph to evenly balane^d entertainment, with nothing overdone in the ;5:5 minu'/^s. A«ido from tho entortain- nient' there is sufllei<>ut technieal kitiding on vaudeville that runs in a strain of i'solf that will make for exfr.i enjoyment to those who have gotten the frailties of vnudevilU- as they usually frail. Miss Ald.i was lortuiiatc in liitting upon so will knitted a bit for her variety debut, made by '■ ' " ienced handler t, the producer, to its stager, Bert French J and with Arthur SwaiisUom ;inj 1 Carey Morgan, the writers. Mjgg Stewart beat the Keith rule against tho name of tho i)roducer being pro- gramod by liaving some opening comedy slides upon which lu r nani« ] first appears. j Another now act to (ho Colonial i with names not so new was that ! containing Florenze Tempest and Bobby Watson, with Gcorgo Hiuiiss at tho piano. This is a two-act, \ saved from conventionality by Mr! i Watson. In fact Miss ToiniKst said - early in the turn, in tho running, that she always wanted a man iii the act (referring to Tempest and ' Sunshine). The audience r«cog- nlzed the truth of that long before tho new turn ended. It ended very lightly as well. Mr. Watson had J carried it from tho outset, but it 3 couldn't hold up, for Miss Tempest, : whether in girl's or boj's <lress] seems to lack that .something neces- s.iry to make her stand out. Wat.son has a good song ho does in a nance way. "1 Like Funerals." so good a lyrical idea it may be English, in- less tho Tempest-Watson combina- tion's name is deemed enough ia itself, this .act will liavo toabe fixed I'P, in arr.'ingeinent or malcriail. be- fore it can get tin* lime or money it v.anlr. It's produced well entaigh and I hero is a sight look t.j the ."iOtting as well as clothes, but when two names are billed, eath t-hould be tlu'io. N<-xt to «'!osing was M;u-;^aret Young, a single singer, witli little \ iriation to i;cr stylo execpt when sijiging a "ooon" blues. Tln» blues she did as lur third song got her soin(>thin.g. It was tho single mtuneiu that r.iised itself above water. Insttad of joliring lit was ;!{ter 11) IMiss Yonng. who liad liube Blo»»m at tho iiiano, returned for an encore and sunk again. Her first numbers wore all done in the same 1 ey and stylo. They were i.ops and without Aarialion meant nothing, .sp.o is strictly a "song singer* and without material, has little tO; dei>end upon. Snapi)y bluts siult would help her but when iis too snapi>\-, tlioy cut it out. Before tho Donovan-Leo riot, the Arnaut Bros., returning ov»r hera ami doubling this wiek .at the Palate, ran up a nice siring of laughs with their clown acr«)batic8 with music ami tho bird twittering. Tot" new Aiiiaiit, ultiiou^^li lit; iViay have boi'U with the turn before, at least he is the smaller of tho pair, li.is a nice conception of comedy and iievor fiops with It. There is a Uf w and attractive drop for the bird work. The.v enter for it in a comedy break.iway boat. Together the couplo made the turn look so new no one will legrct seeing it once more. No. H b.eld Spencer and Williams, man and woman. It was some time before Chester Spencer could con- vin<;» the house ho was funn>'. One ba<l gag, often repeated, linaliy did it. Whether Spencer assumes his loud voice isn't known, but to make the loudness universal is an error, at least in the Colonial, too small for the noise as It became. Spencer sings and talks like a blackface comedian, putting gags over with his foot on the gutter rail, but lie's in white faeo. Ix)l.a Williams had a single song she couldn't do any- thing with. Spencer as ho came out on tho conclusion of it remarked, "Big success." That may have been just bet ween them but the oreheslra got It ami that didn't heli> cither. If an audience gels Spencer early, ihoy will like him all the time but it it's late in liie turn whon that hap- pens, it's much harder earli< r for both of tlnm. A little less ad lib- bing, even No. 2. won't hurt (ither, Be.igy and Clauss on roller skates did a neat .skating-dancing turn to o))en. with the girl's appearance capaldo of being bettered through knew ledge of make up. Tho Flying Henrys closed, to a departing audience at 11.15, after ordinary .'lorial work of its kind, including tho long swing by the girl, held by the man hanging from the trapeze. Sin'r. i STATE The first half >»ill at the Siate was worth 50 cents, the admi^^sion charge at '•'?ht. The State ap- pears to be set as far iis attendance is concern* d. It h.is built up Us own lo.al clientelo and is always sure of a certain number of tran- sients. It ai)pcars that a popular priced vaudeville house will create a neighborhood following, no mai- ler what part of tho town it is in. Tills has beeu provtn by the .State and tho Broadway, both l.axing their followei-.s who attend regu- larly. Monday night's Inisiness vv.is sa'- isiactory. although not iioavy.
