The arrangement was about as good as it could have been, even though there wasn't much to ar- range. This house stays open all year. Harry Berry and Miss labored through a singing routine, abetted by a piano played by the Miss and likes played by both. It is po.ssibly a No. 2 for small time, and even then the numbers chosen and routining require rehashing. Del- bridge and Oremmer, man and woman, brought in more music. They are polished in their manner of presentation. A few stories by the man went well, while the sing- ing of both was pleasing. Lorraine Kvon presented the almost human (Jo'.den Canary Dird. Miss Evon plays the violin and does bird calls on it. prompted by the audience, the canary following with the same calls. Bert Home and Betty Wager, in a song and talk skit called "In Ued" next to shut. The mainstay was their singing. The talk is meaningless. Their value and talent lies in .«iny;jng. and this is sufficent, if they will utilize it more. V'aiial and Zormaine closed the bill with a series of interpretative dance character work. The act is well costumed and the stage .settings are choice. "Bob Mu. phy and the ne.v way.

Donald Kerr and EfTle Weston, with Lou Handman at the piano, danced to solid approbation. Kerr, with his fashion plate appearances and dress, and his unique style of dancing, fell into the good graces of tho crowd. Jack Osterman. an- other young comer, followed. It has been some time since the Majestic housed Osterman, and gince his last appearance he has taken a fling in musical comedy, being In "Molly Darling." He has endless admirers and they urned out for him. calling him back for a speech. Moran and Mack followed AtwiU.
