CLEVELAND : By J. WILSON ROY Whether or not plas^ffoers here have t)een acclimated to the sultry weather, or it may be they are the- atre hungry', but in either case busi> ness has taken a spurt in the past week or ten days. Capacity houses ruled at the Ohio last Sunday, where the McLaughlin stock players are offering "Polly with a Past." and Keith's 103th Street packed 'em in the same night. There i« room for improvement in the attendance at the Hanna, where the Fay Courtnay players are novy in their sixth week. Jack Norworth opened in his new play, "Honey- moon House." at this house Monday to a full house. • Vaughan Glaser. who is operating the stock at the Hanna. has made three appearances—"Abraham Lin- coln." rCharley's Aunt" and "It I Paye to Advertise"—and a decided increase in the attendance was noticeable.

The Scoop of Musicdom ik A COVERED WAGON WITH YOU" By NED NORWORTH and HARRY STOVER The greatest over-niglit Fox-trot sensation in the history of music, 'IH A COVERED WAGON WITH YOU," is Interpreted in the musical •oore of the big Paramount production. 'THE COVERED WAGON," and bainjr featured by orchestras all over the country. Song and dance or- chestrations now ready. r BOSTON , By LEN LIBBEY Nothing suggestive of discomfort about the bill at the local Keith house this week. It meanders along with one entertaining act followed by another more or less entertaining. Just regular summer vaudeville. Opening rather novel for a Keith bill in this city with an act that goes in rather heavy for the esthetic note ift dancing as expressed by Mile. Ivy and Co., assisted by Jack De \Vinter and A. Bordini at the piano. The act in deuce position is that of Rus- sell and Marconi. A couple of boys with that rare combination in mu- sical instruments, accordion and vio- lin, both entertainers of the flrst rank and despite their position got the best break in applause. Powers and Wallace, with their "Georgia on Broadway," changed only in minor particulars, were next, to the usual good reception, followed by Miss Juliet. This girl \^ork8 hard; in fact, does almost too much to make her act of the greatest value. With the original stuff that precedes her Imitation she seemed to have the best success, and was overstrong all the time. Seen here many times before and liked, she repealed. Artie Mehlinger. with Billy Joyce, whooped over the tjsual quota of new and snappy songs with ad lib side remarks, and was on and off to good applause, followed by Helen Ware and her company in a new atmosphere for the eternal triangle, which ran for several minutes in the form of a tabloid* comedy. Well done, there are some soft spota in the dialog, and a little pruning would help.
