The show ran strong for musical, singing and dancing acts, with nothing to bother the brain on tap. Nora Jane and Carl opened with a dancing art that pleased every- body present because the pair run through the entire list of dancing as it is known to this and former generations, winding up with plenty of speed and pep. They were fol- lowed by Aaron and Kelly, a couple of colored boys despite their names, who trail along for several minutes with some comedy and singing and show themselves worth big time booking when they wing Into their dancing routine. The boys went over strong at the finish and had the house yelling for more. An act that toned the bill ud con- siderable, Herma Hegedus and Juan Reyes, was on next. Running through four classical selections the pair were away to a good start and held the lead right through. It Is some- thing of an accomplishment to put over an act of this sort during the warm weather, and the time la properly limited, with both perform- ers knowing their audience and playing it just right.

They were pulled in from the Boston, the next door Keith house, for their bit and got away with the burlesque com- edy act. Grace Hayes, looking as cool as a nice highball In her shimmering sil- ver costume, but putting consider- able more stress than neoesKary on the immense fan she carries, held the house in the palm of her hand all the time. Working easily and using songs that were new to her audience, but In a vein they go strong for nowadays, she eased her- self over for one of the hits ot the afternoon. Ona Munson, with her "Manly Revue," worked hard and gave the house something they liked, and she was followed by Harry Fox. wtio held the spot position on the bill without difficulty. Harry hasn't changed his act In construction much, but has brushed up his ma- terial considerably, and it could easily be seen that a good portion of the audience on hand for the afternoon show was brought there by his drawing power. The Luster Brothers closed the show. ii »> KINOLV REPORT FOR REHEARSALS AT 1 17 W. 48th STREET, Bet. 6th and 7th Ave., NEW YORK CITY MONDAY, JULY 30, at 10:30 A. M.
