When the Shubert opens next fall the regulars will hardly know the house A small storeroom in. front of the theatre adjoining the lobby has been taken by the house for a parlor and rest room; the partitions have been torn out, and the new place wil become part of the lobby, making it the finest and largest in the city. The entire place will be decorated and finished in restful browns and gold, and will be elab- orately furnished for the con- venience of the patrons of the house.

LOS ANGELES Milty and Tillio, headlining cur- rent Orpheum, proved high spot on bill which otherwise held good com- edy, with honors about evenly di- vided. The French dancers dis- played considerable artistry with postures distinctly original, con- cluding with' effective Apache that brought down house. Toto, the clown, was greeted with laughs on entrance in miniature coach, hold- ing up throughout routine. He* of- fers several novelties and works hard doing some clever contortion acrobatics and good Russian dancing. Toney and Norman, closing, were in unusual spot for their type act. An afterpiece was announced to follow, virtually making them next to closing. Toney's wise cracks went over briskly, the comedy and dancing making strong finish. Charles Irwin held fifth position and his fine personality, combined with good material and highbrow- delivery, established him firmly. Aunt Jemima repeated hit and W. C. Fields, another holdover, was successful. Marguerite Pad u la, with pood voice and nicely arranged routine at piano, pleased second, and Mc- Donald Trio, two girls and man, with showy trick bicycle stunts, started off well. The impromptu entertainment af- ter the regular bill, having Toney and Toto burlesquing Mitty and Tillio's Apache, the latter and Charles Irwin also participating, held bouse and sent them out laughing, March" In ragtime. Her opening "Dressed Up Kid" number proved laughing hit in itself. The sup- porting acts all had special settings, but aside from the hit scored by Regal and Moore, preceding Miss Halperin, and the Hori Brothers, closing, the early part of show didn't hold much entertainment. Reno Sisters and Allen, a dancing trio with richly dressed stage, opened fairly, the male member also playing violin and girls'fea- turing acrobatic stepping. Burke and Betty followed with com- edy and songs, but pass chiefly on girl's looks and her playing of cor- net and sax. "Dummies," a farce with music and good lyrics by Billy Friedlander, was inadequately pre- sented by William Pruette, Jr., Lorraine Lester and three* girls.

Miss Maye's attrac- tively sensuous dancing had male element leaning over their Mate, and Roye's twisting back kicks rounded out fine routine that should land this pair at very top. Clara Howard, added attraction, clowned her way to acclaim. She showed rare finesse and salesman* ship. < . Hal Skelley, with Ina Williams, comedy dancing impishness, were laughing success. Don Valerio and Girls, with better dancing on wire than often seen on floor, made flashy opener. Leon Vavara scored substantially second and the Sheik, remarkably well-trained horse, closed.
