With ideal weather for indoor amusements business picked up'In a most satisfactory manner at all of the downtown houses. Capacity business prevailed at practically all performances at the Orpheum, Mainstreet and Gayety, with good returns coming from the Empress, Pantages, and Globe. The Shubert, with its Initial offering of Shubert vaudeville, opened nicely Sunday, but the show was panned by the local critics. Business fell off but commenced to build a little Jater in the week. as a vaudeville house the opposi- tion is going in heavily for out-door advertising, using tack cards, streamers and one-sheets in abund- ance, in addition to posted stands all over the city.

Broadway nnd 4th Ave. Kponaora of Short Vamp Shoee The Drama Players Stock, at the Empress, got far away from their regulation straight comedy and drama offerings this week and aro presenting the musical comedy, "You're in Love." The play is be- ing put over in regular fashion,.with all of the music and dancing num- bers and a chorus of ten singers and dancers from the Cranson School of Music. Theodora Warfield in the role of Georgianna surprised her many friends with the ease in which she appeared in a number of the musical selections. "Three Wise Fools" will be the next bill. Lillian Burkhart, appearing at the Pantages last week, was guest of honor at several clubs during the week. At the Co-operative Club she said: "If people who go to the theatre would refuse to applaud the cheap, low and sordid acts of the stage, the art would improve. The- atre managers from Shakespeare down to the modern manager have been commercial first, last and all the time. They have furnished what the people pay most for." "E. B. G." dramatic critic for the Kansas City Star, used the greater part of his Sunday page bemoaning the fact that, with the exception of tho offerings of the Drama Players Stock, Kansas City's sole amuse- ment was vaudeville. LOUISE— —BILLY PHILADELPHIA By ARTHUR B. WATER8 A special feature all last week at the Stanley was the Fashion Re- view, presented under the auspices of Gimbel Brothers. Frank H. Buhler, managing director of the Stanley company, personally super- vised the arrangement of settings. The fashion show was staged in three episodes—the first a wedding, the second at the Casino in Deau- ville and the third a reproduction of the gardens of Paul Poiret. Pic- tures showing Deauville beach and Polret's garden were cleverly inter- polated. Twenty-five or more mod- els appeared in all episodes, and at the end promenaded through tho au- dience. The press praised the show highly, and good houses testified to the public's interest. Hobart Henley, Universal director, was in this city Monday night to attend the opening performance here of Owen Davis' comedy-drama, "Up tho Ladder," at the Walnut. The rights to this play have been ob- tained by Universal as a starring vehicle for Virginia Valll, and Hen- ley is to direct. The Stanley company's new the- atre at 11th and Market streets has been named the Elrae. In their copy to the newspapers no explanation of this title was given. The name is evidently in honor of George H. Earle. local banker and financier and one of the big stockholders in the Stanley company. SYRACUSE, N. Y. By CHE8TER B. BAHN WIETING—First half.
