All of the turns excepting the opening and closing acts and Bill Robinson (colored) had big type billing. Robinson was next to closing and on his hit was entitled to billing.

The running order was switched from the programing. Milder Har- ris (Chaplin), In "Movie Mad," head- lined. She looked pretty and her delicate style In an easy role some- what impressed. S. Miller Kent and Lavina Shannon gave the support Miss Harris had to have. The play- let serves its purpose for what is presumed to be a name attraction from the films. Leo CarrUlo, with a new batch of character storie.i, held over and repeated big. Carrillo has a com- pelling personality and is perpetu- ally popular. Flo Lewis with allur- ing costumes and a pretty drop got over from the start. Her Impres- sions of female stars and at the women's clubs are sprightly and a finished manner of putting them over registered In no uncertain way. Her encore, however, with iease Greer at the piano, could be drpppod to advantage. Martin and Moore closed the show with a nifty collection of aerial stunts that held the house entirely in. Chong and Rose Moey got away satisfactorily through their Cakewalk finish. They had the op- ening spot. Through Carroll being held over a couple of turns under- lined did not show. NBWVOMM !^nS TOLEDO, OHIO istern Dry Cleaning C Theatrical Work Our Specialty The Golden Gate (Orpheum, Jr.) has but a fair bill this week. San- try and Norton, who closed with "The O'Brien Girl," were added, but the couple did not appear to be prepared and passed away lightly. Barclay and Chain slkl over to a neat reception next to closing. Their burlesque mind reading and trav- estied, illustrated songs with nutty slides, were howls. Frav;ley and Louise were the only other turn on the bill to record a real success. Bill Frawley had them laughing nearly all of the time and he and his pretty red haired partner became strong favorites. Karl Karey had a medley of songs at the piano in the No. 2 position, to fair re- turns. Bobbie Gordone was liked In her picturesque posings. Mrs. Wal- lace Rcid and Co. headlined in Ethel Clayton's crook playet, "The Blue Flame," with Miss Clayton handling the same featured role as when the sketch played the Pantapes circuit. Mrs. Reid (nee Davenport) capably took care of the lesser role and was graciously received. Business is nicely holding up at the Golden Gate.

Stafford and Co.. in "Rip Van Winkle's Dreams," top the bill at Loew's Warficld, current. A bearded dwarf, a woman, trained dog and mountain setting are Staf- ford accessories. It scored most- ly through Stafford's whistling and imitations of animals and birds. Miller, Packard and Selz are a cou- ple of men with old gags doing comedy and a girl with a deep voice. They were next to closing, got .laughs and substantially scored. Le Hoen and DuPreece with talk and songs, while each tried at marks- manship, pleased In the middle of the show. A ballad by the man drew real applause. Arnold Grazer In the uniform of a naval officer exhibited some versa- tility. He plays the piano and cor- net besides singing well and had a dance arrang'^ment for the finish that concluded with a toe dance which hit. Mario Racko and part- ner, a lift act, opened the show.

Schiller, general manager for Marcus "Loew, arrived here last week for a stay of several days to wind up Loew's business with Ack- erman & Harris. Isadore Pry of Ivoew's, Inc., legal department was with Schiller. in dialog and situations. The indls- creetness is due to a desire on the part of the author to make kiughs where not needed. Two other faults are noticeable in the play. The cli- max of the second act is premature- ly announced and there Is a certain grossness in the first act's account of the leading man's method of rid-* ding himself of a vampire wife. On the whole, "Good Morning, Caro- line," is refreshing In that it pos- sessee novelty of plot, and the per- formance given by the Fulton Play- ers was worth while. With the sin- gle exceptions of the colored butler, George Hand, and the amateurish maid of Eleanor Martin's, the per- formance was flawless. Wilbur has written a talkative role for the lead, but It is a feeding role, and the chelf comedy goes to a martinet mother- in-law, delightfully portrayed by Anna McNaughton. The piece is done in three acts with two sets and was nicely mounted I Will King will get ready a cut- down version of his comedies and with a smaller company play several week at Pantagos, Los Angeles. At the con'^lusion ho will ag.'iin go un- der the banner of Ackerman & Har- ris, with whom he has signed a five years' contract. Crane Wilbur produced the second of his new plays at the Fulton, Oak- land, last week entitled "Good Morning. Caroline," a farce with which Wilbur and .Mllo. Caubet fea- tured.
