"Just Married," at the Auditorium, jalso had a mild week, de.spite it drew very good notices and was •given good word-by-mouth adver- ) tising. It played at a $2 top, rfvith I $1 Wednesday matinee and $1.50 Saturday matinee. Business wasn't groat and the theatre was n«ver t.ixcd beyond Its capacity. It prob- ably did about IS-.OOO on the week. At the Lyceum "Buddies." in its second week, didn't break any rec- ords, and seldom wa» the house more than half filled.

Eddie Kellers "Best Act" walked away with honors, if the critics of the city are to be trusted. Van Hdven hasn't w^orked in Baltimore for two or three years, and he got a whale of a reception on his en- trancing, and by the time he had finished hi«i, pointless comedy the show was his. If Fanny Brice.

The week before a man slipped hia arm through the wicket and, felling the cashier, Ray Olender. with a blunt instrument, robbed the bo;c offlce of the Gayety theatre, Winnipeg, of $80. "The Clinging Vine.** the new Henry W. Savage show, drew fine notices and had several good audi- ences, but business as a whole was only fair, due perhaps to the season more than to anything else. The production is excellent, noted for Ita singing and genuinely humorous book, the work of Zelda Sears. Harold Levey In his music also con- tributed much. Peggy Wood helped The Metropolitan, a new de luxe movie houso for Baltimore, with a 1,500 seating capacity, grand organ and orchestra, opened last Saturday for business after a [vrivate enter- tainment had been given the night before, with Mayor William F. Broening doing the dedicatory honor.s. The new theatre is located in the heart of the northwestern district residential section, at Penn- sylvania Olid North av-niies. and is quite a hand.some structure. It will give the city another first-run house. The advance sale for "Abie'a Irish Rose," which reopens the Academy next week, has been good, with the window going up at 9 a. m.
